(IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) I don't know you well enough to tell you why. However, I got married for the dependent disad. Needed points, you know. I asked for the Magic booklet as a stocking stuffer, then I asked for Ghost Cartels and now I have to ask for Feral Cities. I am high maintenance. |

I'm pretty high maintenance as well but I have a pretty reasonable job and we only have the house and utilities as bills.
I'm still reading FC but I do like Chicago so far. Carl |

Well that was unexpected (to me, at least). Have been too busy to visit the forums much this last few weeks, I come back and find I'm several days late in purchasing a Shadowrun book. It's downloading now and I didn't even preview it. That's how much faith I have in things after your work so far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) @kanislatrans: You got married because otherwise you would immerse yourself so completely in your game books that you would eventually stop functioning in the real world. You would then lose your job. You would then be unable to puchase more game books. I am assuming, btw, that your wife does not have a [b]DS[/]b account? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Okay downloaded. Off to read, now. K. |

Heh! Is FastJack's comment on page 9 a dig at all those of us who took Emergence to task for the far-fetched nature of the anti-TM lynchings? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) K. |

It does, though Southeast Asia would work too (and be more close to the original). But yes, it would work. It would also work for reenactments of Blood Diamonds, Outbreak, Bug City, or Apocalypse Now (or, come to think of it, Predator 2). Good to see some stuff on Africa, finally, after more than a decade.

I know that the movie was set in LA, which is in Corporate Enclaves, not Feral Cities.

True, but the movie's LA is a lot more than SR's Lagos than that ... thing ... in Corp Enclaves.

I wish the Ethiomalian Territories didn't turn out exactly as one would expect that region to if you read the papers.

Pity really. The only African country that wasn't the product of colonisation. There goes another explanation of the African dilemma.

Ilike the revelation of exactly who pointed Ares toChicago, and the little reference to "Ha! Remember when all datanodes were blue cubes?"....I love the little references that the old timers would recognize.

And, just to complete my PDF SR4 collection, I picked up Corporate Enclaves yesterday along with Verde Mechum and Dark Passions PDFs. Won't get the SR4 core until it's updated though. I bring my core book with me to games anyway so it doesn't add all that much but it'd be nice to have the entire PDF set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Vade Mecum and Dark Passions really rock. Been reading into my own copy of Vade Mecum today. Great stuff.

I really hope whoever did the art for the book this time is kept on. The Infected and metatype art in RC was shocking.
