I suggested Bull get on it, and handed him a Commlink.

I woke up a few hours later.  Up a tree.  Toilet papered.  And a "Ghoul Num-Nums" sign dangling from my neck.

He was nice, I'd have just locked you in with Bubba the Love Troll and his cellmate. :P

Not painful enough but still too lethal. The pain that Bubba and his cellmate would dole out would encourage him in his writing more. :P

So send him to the former Blood Queen and tell her to have fun?

When FAQs fail, there's always Rule 34?

I do not work better under pain.  The amount of effort I had to put into the projects after breaking my arm compared to Safehouses was excessive.

Also, the sales prove otherwise as well.  :(

Eh..you are just not able to whore out Sim Dreams and Nightmares as easy when people are like "Well..the new
edition is coming out...this is all going to be worthless in a couple months anyway." Not me, mind you. I still snatched
it up. But not everyone is as completionist as I can be...

Fluff is editionless, and the book is mostly fluff.

In fact, one person complained about the lack of crunch.

Eh, the fluff is brilliant and timeless and the crunch can easily be translated to SR5, most likely nearly all of it would be a 1:1 translation.

Maybe see if they let you write a patch that fits SR5 where needed, or if unneeded give it an official SR4+SR5-compatible label?
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

@Mara - their Twitter posts used to show up on FB...wonder if a setting got tweaked...

Tweetdeck, what they used for twitter posts, has had a falling out with FB, and so it does not cross-post to FB
anymore.

So much for the crazy idea that they'd post information on the forums that they created to draw their fanbase away from the existing fan forum that they didn't control.

We'll see what happens when SR5 gets released.  I can't comment more than that.

Well, again, thanks for your kind words on the fluff.  :)

Looks like that issue has been addressed:

From the Pegasus FB page:

Shadowrun 5 is coming! All over the world for the first time we will offer initial rounds on the role play Convention on 1 and 2 June in Cologne in the new system. In addition, there will be seminars on the future of Shadowrun in Germany. Passes, plays with, listen to and take the quick start rules back home.

Based on this, would suspect things are pretty close to final... ;)

I was wondering, do you guys know if their will be a Vlog to cover SR5 at GenCon? Also do we know if we will be able to get a PDF copy of these quickstart rules?

Most people cant go to these CONs, even though we badly want to...
Chaos? Lack of protection? Enemies lurking in the shadows? Sounds
to me like the fun’s just beginning. Sorry you’ll miss it, omae.
