Head of Aztechnology, one of the main people behind Cybermancy and trapping Alice in the Matrix, lots of bad stuff.

Is there a singular source that explains more about why we care about Roxborough?  I played back in 1e then picked up the game again a while into 5e, so I missed out on whatever documented him as being notable originally.  (I've read about his weird survival and existence, and that he was a notable shareholder in Aztechnology and Universal Omnitech.  But it sounds like that he is 'on the loose' again is a big deal, and I'd like to read up on why he is considered to be of such note).

This is not the place for this. If you do not like Shadowrun, I recommend you do not come into the Shadowrun forums. We have no problem with cross-promotion of other systems, or alternate and house rules. But slamming the game in the game's forums will not result in any headway. I'm locking this thread and removing reference to the other game.

Never heard of it, not interested to be honest, if you're promoting it as 'because Catalyst sucks'. Trashing the competition is the best way to lose my interest. I also don't see the point in going all 'Sixth World is disgusting!' tbh, nevermind pretending that this is a proper subject for the General Discussion instead of Off-Topic.

Have any of you checked out ****? It is VERY similar to the setting and general concept in Shadowrun, but uses a much more streamlined and rules-lite system.

All my friends that were Shadowrun fans have been disgusted with how things occurred with the release of Shadowrun Sixth World and most of them have jumped ship to ****.

Have any of you checked it out? What do you think of it?

Well hopefully they find a way to work your story into a future book. Or figure some other way to fit the event into the future narrative. I mean at this point we can all just sort of assume Dis did it since we have established they are really good a bioengineering and making deals with bad people. Which is to bad since it seems like you were going for some sort of mystery about his return? Would have worked better if it had been a few books ago before we got the low down.

I forget that we have forums tucked away i here every now and then. Between the day job, writing, and far too many hobbies, I can wander off the rails sometime. Always able to be poked, tho! I'm always happy to chat about whatever.

(HOPEfully, I can get a webcam up and running in the future so I can do more online stuff. I had an interview a bit ago, but I felt bad that I wasn't on camera like the host.)

Going to derail this thread to say:

Wak's back!

I know it happened earlier this month but I didn't notice you were posting again until just now.

(This post is my first in twelve months so I'm in a similar boat.)

Thank you for the answer.  Follow up question, would the trode work with glasses and contacts also?

Yes you can wireless connect everything while working in concert with DNI (which in this case is provided by trodes).

Wireless gun + wireless glasses or wireless contacts + wireless trodes.
This will enable all bonuses.

Contacts don't come with a universal access port so you can't connect them via a cable.
But you can run a cable between wireless disabled gun and wireless disabled glasses.
In this case you don't get any wireless bonuses (and in this case trodes are also not needed).

The trodes need to connect to the gun for the DNI. For contacts, they are strictly wireless, but it's up to your GM on the ruling. Personally, I'd probably allow it since I don't like punishing players too much...
