QUOTE (Lionhearted @ Mar 18 2013, 02:56 PM)  When I talk about a GM book I was thinking of something that would help GMs structure/flesh out runs, on the go matrix networks or security setups, maps for common locations, goons and prime runners, reward guidelines, inspiration for runs, themes, overarching goals, tips&tricks and of course a run or two to start you out. Well they have that stuff. But it's spread over 10 books. Alot of it is in either the Runner's Toolbox or this upcoming starter set. I know your answer will be "Well I want it all in one book for ease of use" To where business people go "That's nice but we'd REALLY rather sell you 10 books than one". You can't blame them for wanting to make money. It's how they feed their kids and fund their own toys. Having it in 10 books means we get that much more of each thing you listed. Instead of each thing you listed getting 1/10th of a book. |

Looking at all the small PDF books CGL is putting out lately, seems to work for them as well.

The real question is how many windlings would it take to steal a dragon beach towel to make a sail for an airship.

Well we're getting a new edition, and the book in this thread, Storm Front is a big meta plot wrap up sort of book. If you read Storm Front, many of the big plots are either wrapped up or at least summarized and ready for 5th edition. It's a good time in Shadowrun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alien.gif) |

If you read Storm Front, many of the big plots are either wrapped up or at least summarized and ready for 5th edition. I was more thinking of an overview that clusters and orders all the ebooks rather than a summarised version of their content. I think the wikis will eventually provide this kind of information.

There was a post on this the other day. Someone has them clustered and ordered. I saved it as a word file. if you need it I can kick it your way. Just pm me an email address. |

At least, as a dragon, she is used to walking around naked all the time. I wonder if wearing flowers in her hair (on her horns) is forbidden now?

QUOTE (Ixal @ Mar 18 2013, 08:16 PM) I wouldn't opposed to a new Threats book in 5E to summarize all the ongoing plots and secret societies. This would be a good idea to me, especially if it updated th two Threats books *and* Conspiracy Theories. |

He'll literally bite your head off if you take his sacred deck chair. Hm. Does it have the corp logo, or is it plain golden? |
