Since folks were warned off the Catalyst thread with talks about how long they've been around, I thought they might want to continue the conversation. Codgers love to reminisce. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll say that I picked up the first blue book in '89. I was 19, and when I saw a mage casting spells in an alley while a firefight was happening, I had to pick up the book. Sold! Got 'em all since then, including full sets of KaGe and Shadowland magazines. Joined the Shadowrn mailing list in '94 (when my work got email), but collected stuff from BBSs before that. (A primer on Shadowrun television springs to mind.) Saw Bull join the list with a bang. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Shadowrun Archive, Dumpshock, Jury's Bench, CLUE files, etc. Lurked on 'em all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Some of us may not post much, but we're here, we love Shadowrun, and we'll keep playing 'til the Awakening. Robert (aka Spanner) |
