I know it is early buy wow I am so excited for this one. I have had this feeling that there would be some products dropping before GenCon but was not sure when we would see 2050. Guess I will stop rambling now, have a great day SR community.

Ooh. I'm looking forward to this one, as well. Especially if they come out with some kind of conversion guide or converted reprints of old modules. I've always wanted to play through some of those old classic modules like Mercurial or Queen Euphoria.

Announced a few months ago along side the Shadowrun Kickstarter.  Originally mentioned as a spring release for next year.
Now it seems well see this at Gen Con?  90% done according to recent posts.

I cant believe the community has been so quiet about this, very little info about its production is in the wild.
So many questions.
1. Will magical traditions have separate mechanics?
2. Will missing spirit powers be returned and perhaps "fixed".
3. Grounding?
4. Decking returns will the matrix of old be streamlined and workable?
5. (Put own questions here...)

All this and more done in just a few months?  Or was this project in the works for much longer?

Project has been in the works since August of last year, more or less :)

Generally speaking by the time a product is announced, it's been in the pipeline for at least a couple months.

Not one I worked on, sadly. I got in just a tad too late for that one.

Next time, Gadget! Next time...

You could go and convert some of the old modules to the SR 2050 rules... It'd be fun to run through the SCIRE, dodging spiders and Blues with the Resistance. Or to go through Missing Blood and Bug City...

I sort of converted the old adventures on the fly, but no real conversion method exists to my knowledge.

Already ran both Mecurial and DNA DOA using 4th ed rules.  Wasn't too hard.

If you want to try Dreamchipper, take a gander at Twilight Horizon.

Actually... that was my next one to look at.

I have Twilight Horizon but I've only had time to take in the highlights.

Thanks Wakshaani

According to Randall via Facebook, SR2050 went to the printer last night. Odds for GenCon...pretty good, though it might be tight.

Will gear prices be like they were in SR1?  Wired 2 = 400,000 nuyen, gear costing rating x rating in nuyen, etc.?

I liked that economy.  It made those higher rating pieces of gear more rewarding when you got them.  :)

BTW, this is the first that I've heard of this initiative.

Cool.  Cool, cool, cool.
