I haven't been here for at least two years. More I think.

When I left, the place was a giant conflagration with people being banned, damage control from CGL representatives after Loren Coleman had been found embezzling funds and freelancers were not getting paid and withholding copyright... I walked in disgust when CGL retained the Shadowrun licence.

Now I'm being pestered to run Shadowrun again by some friends so I decided to look in and see what the place looks like these days. It's quiet here. Never seen it so quiet - especially given there was a new edition recently. Place feels dead. I know CGL were heavily promoting their own company forums for Shadowrun over Dumpshock. Did that place eventually take over? What happened with the licence? Is LLC still running things over there and how many of the original writers of SR4 are now working on SR5 or did it become a major staff overhaul as it was looking like for a while?

What, in short, is the state of things these days? Any of the old timers still functioning?
