CanRay, is that detailed in a book somewhere, or behind the scenes gnosis?

Oh, NM, I found it. Super Tuesday. I guess its safe to assume that in the "official" timeline, the runners in that story weren't able to get the truth out, lol...

Either way. The way the adventure ends is that either way KB benefits.

If the story's buried, then so be it.

If the story is released, it's only that "Kenneth" isn't the original Kenneth and he manages to spin it into a sob story in his favor and a dead man takes the fall for murdering the real Kenneth and lying to this one.

Here is one more, for the most obscure knowers of knowledge out there.

8 ) is there anything known about the "fine old fixer traditions" that Charlie Tarrow was a part of with Wyrd back in the 30's? The only thing I can find is that they were doing and setting up "Shadowruns" before the term was popular. Does this group come up anywhere in the fiction or in a sourcebook?

The only place I've seen it is in the second act of the Harlequin adventure, called "Hates." Charlie is the Johnson, and she gets called out of retirement by a network of fixers for this run. The legwork section mentions she was a "Shadowrunner" with that group of fixers back in the 30's.

Well, fixer exist in this day and age, especially in areas like Africa and the Middle East. They are exactly what they are in the books. Contacts, runners, suppliers, guides. The traditions are probably in reference to the fact that whenever there is business or war, there will be people that thrive off it.

The official word is that it did get out, according to Brackhaven's bio in Runner Havens, I believe - and yes, he spun the story pretty easily.

That's what I thought, but I didn't get around to check.


And FastJack is right. Fixing predates the game by quite some time, so it's nothing really remarkable.

A good example on TV for fixers would be Leverage (and awesome show) and Person of Interest when Chloe is around (also awesome show). If you needed something else to watch.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Try Ray Donovan as an alternative.
