So, while not exactly a tradition there was this thing we used to do where everyone would read a Shadowrun book a chapter at a time, and then we could discuss it. The contents, how it was written, compliments and complaints, etc. I think it would be nice to do that again, and I'd like to do it with Vice, if anyone is interested.

So, are any of you interested?
