They've been talking about that book since long before Fourth Edition was announced, and it's just never happened. It was to have rules for training critters, as well as be an updated Paranormal Animals of North America. They seeded books with critter teasers: earthquake letting critters escape from a Mitsuhama Parashield facility, and now bio-drones in Augmentation.
Cybertooth Tigers, man: cybertooth tigers. |

The selection of critters is tiny. This is particularly hard on some styles of play. You may be able to wait it out till Running Wild with some of the magical threats in Street Magic . They have critter-like aspects.
In the first three editions I ran a game which could be considered akin to D&D of the future. My group is passing time playing at Cyberpunk 2070 patiently waiting for Running Wild. Since you have found Nasser's page, I recommend reading everything there. Fourth Edition does not have a depth of published examples. I believe there is only one published adventure. While troublesome for folks like me who love reference, its to avoid scale issues. Just here on Dumpshock there are games with wildy varying power levels. |

Wow, six more books, all of which look tasty (I particularly am looking forward to that Sixth World Almanac).
And BlueMax, your sig is made of win. |

QUOTE (Tiger Eyes @ Feb 10 2009, 09:30 PM)  Hey, hey! Anyone who has seen Peter and seen me would never mistake the two of us... I'm... I'm... /me goes off muttering That is my favorite quote, seriously, from lifestyles. Adam Large wrote it. When we had to cut some of the lifestyle qualities, that one stayed in purely for the quote. Lol god, I'm sorry Tiger Eyes. I was just looking at the icon as opposed to the name, I do apologise. What happened to your old icon? bring it back! bring it back!!! |

I am from the San Francisco Bay. Pink would be the color of equality and social rights locally. This is not a sarcastic or snide remark. |

BlueMax,
During the week-end, I've looked at what's available in the core book critter-wise, and I get the feeling one could probably reconstruct "canon" critters using just what's in it. For instance, I made a shapeshifter "grunt" using a wolf, the dual-natured trait and a (Human) Form spell-turned-innate-ability. I also turned the Thunderbird into a home-made Phoenix, a vampire into a banshee, etc. Have you tried that? (I admit they may not be "canonical" but I figure it's close enough...) And you don't need to feel old just because you prefer print over pdf. I only swear on print copies and I'm (almost) not even 30 (yet...) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (Mind you, I started playing RPGs with DnD back when THAC0 was a new thing... Yes, time flies...) |

I just add spirit powers and beef up stats. But my mind is just one. And one that works too much. So , I would love to see the results of someone who is payed to come up with critters. Someone who understands the system better than I do. I love the giant mother fragging snake in the back of Ghost Cartels. |
