Some of you may recall the dashifen character record system which I put together a while back (yeah, I know the name still sucks). It's my intention to resurrect that system and update it for SR4 over the coming weeks. However, to do that I needed a web site. Since I wanted to do more than just the DCRS 2.0, I've created a new web site focused on shadowrun. Don't expect much. I only have the homepage and two downloads so far.

Here's where you all come in. In the bottom right hand corner of the content area there is a small box where I'd like random ironic quotations or sayings to appear. I've entered three myself -- thanks Fortune for the inspiration for one of them -- just to get the ball rolling, but I figured that you all could probably enter quite a few by the time I finish work today.

If you've got a quotation or a saying -- from a movie, popular culture, or even one of your games -- that you think might fit the bill, head over to the add a quote page and drop it into the database.

A note for IE users -- you won't see the quotation box. I'm still working to get IE to put it in the right place and since it's display was worse than horrible with IE, I've just removed it from the screen. You can still add a quote if you'd like, though, and I'll figure out how to bend IE to my will as opposed to the other way around.

Thanks everyone for the above.

In return, here's another thing I wanted to know: has anyone heard of plans in the works for an SR4 character generator similar to NSRCG? I've spoken with someone else online -- who will remain nameless to he/she decides to speak up -- and we're interested in giving it a go perhaps as both a web-based application like my old DCRS and as a downloadable program like the NSRCG. If you're interested in perhaps working on a protion of that whether it's preparing .dat files or databases, working on the interface or maybe even some programming, post below or drop me a PM. Granted, since we haven't even seen the rules yet we don't know how much we've bitten off let alone whether we can chew it, so in all truthfulness we're hedging out bets at this point. I figure there's a lot of interst out there, though, for such a program all we need is someone or a group of someones to step up and write it.
