Or they are like my players who have been along since SR1 and still don't pick up on any continuity porn I try to inject. Hell, half the time they cant even remember the names of NPCs in the very same adventure! Rather frustrating as the GM.

For some reason my players have had a hard time with Ghost Cartels NPC's. Henry Uribe nearly died because one team member confused him with Uncle Hiro. Also Dae,Riveros,Sacristan have all been confused once or twice. And I hide the Olaya connection so well they just didn't understand how this Salazar guy was connected until they met him and I had to recap the whole mission. (granted were only playing bi weekly and missed a few sessions so I'm really trying to get better at keeping notes for the recap.

Back on topic. PAoNA was good PAoE was better and 3rd edition critter book was a real let down. Running Wild is sounding like it will put the critters book series back on track and then some.

I think what is really going to make it or break it is the artwork. Going by recent developments on that front I think it is going to rock in a big way.

Except if your ordering is correct, its coming out years too late.
A good plan executed violently today, is better than a perfect plan executed a month from now. Or so the saying goes.

//Bulldrek, not until I have my critters.

This is the very first thing I thought of as well. I think I spend to much time on the internets...

No... I am not playing DOTA!

Dusk. Sounds. Awesome.

Any particular reason?

Yes yes, i know, you can fault the internets for the not-seeing of the big grin i had while writing that (or my inability to place a proper smiley). I just got hung up on your "enjoy" and thought "Well, many commercials in TV also promise me enjoyment." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

I hope there won't be any Earthdawn stuff in it, and that it'll not be too hard to cut out any Immortal Elves stuff.

Noooo, don´t be scared. I just don´t remember the names of all the books and what i call "matrix book" is just "unwired". I play magicians since the beginning, but i was really impressed about the great pictures in it. I want all further SR-publications to be that cool. (that is at least one reason to buy the new SR4A edition: better overview and great graphics.)

Seconded. If there is, I won't buy it. A prompt review and/or a torrent preview will be needed before I consider dropping a dime on this one. OTOH, Vice and Running Wild are sure buys for me.

Immortal Elves will appear in Vice only, as the masterminds behind all criminial organizations. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif)

will there be a new IE throwing adept who power throws drop bears over people? (so that the drop bears can then drop on them, of course...) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Aaaaaaaargh.....please don´t destroy my pretty SR-world. Immortal elves stink and they should have never put it into the metaplot. I thought we would have finally got rid of them.

evidently you don't know much about frosty then.

If DotA lets PCs kill off IEs "officially" I'd buy the book twice.

Frosty? Aehm...no? But i feel a shivering in my neck.

I think that's some jackpoint poster. I am not sure though - I don't really care about Jackpoint.

Frosty is the Immortal Elven Daughter of Ehran the Scribe, another Immortal Elf.
Shagging it up with Harlekin. Another Immortal Elf. Who was once shagging Aina Sluage.
Yet another Immortal Elf. Yes, there's an Immortal Elf Sitcom/Beverly Hills in there somewhere.

Appeared in the times of SR2 & 3 already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

Please follow the signs to the Drop Bear-thread. Read the thread. Twice. Come back and find the fault in your idea.

Don't you mean Desperate Immortal Elves? And that is a lot of shagging going on.

When my group ran Harlequin the GM (which did not understand English that well, to say the least) botched most adventures thoroughly. But it did create a few gems of scenes by accident. I still fondly remember when our trollsammie knocked Ehran out in melee and we tossed the elf's trussed up butt at Harlequin's feet.
