Join us for the April Shadowrun Fan Chat!

This month, the chat will be an in-character Q&A session where you can ask some of our favorite JackPoint posters questions - on their histories, their work, their interests, their love-lives... you name it! The chat will be in-character... and yes, the posters might lie. But don't worry, another JackPoint poster is sure to call them on it...

We'll leave who's going to show up as a surprise for the chat. If a poster isn't there, you can always ask another poster for the dirt behind their back.

If you have any questions you'd like to post prior to the chat, feel free to post them in this topic.

The chat will be Saturday, April 18th, at 10 AM PDT (Seattle Time), at the http://www.battlecorps.com/BC2/PublicSRChat.html.

That means the chat is:

Perhaps those topics will show up as a blog on the website... but, for the chat, it will be a chance to sit down... er, type... with some of the JackPoint posters.

Darn it...I really wish I could make this chat...This seems like one of the potentially fun ones..

That document is a bit out of date. Additions include:

/dev/grrl - hacker, knows about Matrix fads, pop culture, and NeoNET culture. Currently youngest JackPoint poster.
Fatima - deceased.
Lei Kung - knows Hong Kong and the shadows of Asia. Magician and face.
Stone - knows about international (and extranational) shadowrunning.

I did the compare manually, so I may have missed one or two changes.

According to one of the books, Puck has recently gone missing (may have been Ghost Cartels, but I am not sure and don't have the books near me, I just remember Netcat being worried because he hadn't been seen on Jackpoint for awhile).

Posted by: Tiger Eyes Apr 17 2009, 06:41 PM

Yes, Puck is still missing. (And it was Unwired. And, one of the intro stories for Feral Cities has a bit of a teaser on that...)

is the java chat applet just a standard IRC channel we can connect to?

Posted by: tsuyoshikentsu Apr 18 2009, 05:55 AM

I will try to be there.

Damn it! My group is running a lengthy D&D game Saturday or else I'd be there.

Is Twist on Jackpoint or is he even still alive? And how about the Laughing Man? Oh, and what happened to SPD? Someone hit Frosty up for some info, she has to know all sorts of interesting tidbits (unless shes dead/MIA too...). And ask someone if they've seen Hatchetman lately. Being what may have been a first-gen cyberzombie probably comes with a short life span but it would be good to know.

Also, someone ask Winterhawk what he thinks is the best way to get work from the Draco Foundation and is the work as noble as some of us has heard. You know, for us bleeding-heart-save-the-planet types.

I heard mention of Hatchetman's death in Augmentation.

Posted by: BishopMcQ Apr 18 2009, 03:21 PM

If I'm recalling correctly, there was some follow up to Hatchetman's death in the new fiction for SR4A

Just a bump for those who may want to see it.
