QUOTE (SincereAgape @ Jan 31 2012, 07:19 PM)  Some personal requests for future characters: --Updated Versions of Green Lucifer and Sting. Just FYI, but Sting is featured in the Missions CMP adventure Ancient Pawns. It's not anything like a full SL write-up, but she's got stats in it, and plays heavily into the adventure's final act. And for what it's worth? Believe me, GL's name has come up in pitches for future SL Supplemental books (I know, because I'm the one that's been jumping up and down, waving my arms, and shouting "me, me, ooh, ooh, pick me!"). I would have done my best to wedge him into the first one, but I just didn't have the time to write anything up last semester, so I had to let the whole first supplemental pass me by. -------------------- |

Kat O'Nine Tales.
And yeah, I want to hear about Dirk, especially the bit about what's going on with his arm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Hart and Sally get votes from me, as well as Ghostwalker and Dodger.
Assuming they are all still alive. I guess throw in Sam for that matter, even he was running around in MR J's LBB or whichever book that was. That's not right but I can't recall the name. |

Indeed, I am really interested in seeing how they do Wolfgang Kies. I have a few ideas, but it would be interesting to see their take on it.

This is the question I asked on his site:
Dear Mr. Stackpole, Hello sir, i wanted to say thank you for your work in both battletech and shadowrun. I would like to know if you plan on any further shorts on Raven and his crew. If not did they survive to 2072? Your writing style has been one of my favorites 1989 when i first read the warrior trilogy. I hope life is good and take care, Drew Mike 19. Jul, 2010 at 2:46 pm "Drew, I think Wolf and Raven still live. If I get a chance and Catalyst has an opening, I’d love to do more fiction in that world." So that is from Mike, as to what fate the staff at Catayst has in store for them is anyone's guess? -------------------- "I've always liked reptiles. I used to see the universe as a mammoth snake, and I used to see all the people and objects, landscapes, as little pictures in the facets of their scales.

QUOTE (Bull @ Jan 3 2012, 09:56 PM) What's interesting is that there is a lot of stuff in the backstory that there were never any plans made for a followup to. Writers did (and we still do, honestly) write in hooks just to leave plot hooks there. -- Almost EVERY old plot hook is now completely irrelevent, as they have been OBE (overtaken by events) for DECADES of Shadowrun game-time. I mean, really. Consider the genetically engineered bloats from Shadowtech (pp. 65-66). Interesting potential there ... until you realize that in-universe it was set in 2052. How can you reintroduce them without people wondering why they were never mentioned in the intervening period without a "lol it was secret lol" (I don't remember if my nod to them made it into SONA or someone else mentioned them, just an example of an old, intentional plot hook, dropped into a book). QUOTE [...] These days, we're better about keeping communication about stuff. Even when i don;t have an immediate hook or plot for something I drop into material, I'll usually post to the freelance group about it with some thoughts, suggestions, and ideas. I may never touch it, but it's there in case someone else wants to run with it. We also have some other backend record keeping to help with things. -- This is pretty much how it worked when I was a freelancer. However, there were some pretty significant cliques back then, so communication was difficult; there certainly was no forum to establish a 'canonical' dropbox of plot hooks. Everyone did their own thing and just assumed the line developers would iron it all out, and that people wouldn't intentionally crap on each other. There was even a term some of us used for freelancer plot items that were made up out of thin air and we were to accept they were part of canon all this time -- "parachuting in." In a sense, the entire section in SONA that talks about the Native population was this sort of "airdrop" of new canon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -------------------- Concerned Citizen: "Is the Russian Federation planning to use - for protection of the borders - giant combat anthropomorphic robots?"

QUOTE (Patrick Goodman @ Feb 19 2012, 09:39 PM) Ken! You're alive! -- Of course I am. I still get the occassional new Shadowrun book and peruse the forums (even silently update my collected infodump posts on Space Technology, Hawai'i, and Tir Tairngire) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I only have time to work on writing for one RPG, so sticking with GURPS at the moment. Been doing some articles for Pyramid lately (most recently, Mecha Operations in this months issue), and tinkering with some other projects I may submit for e23 (SJ Games PDF books). -------------------- Concerned Citizen: "Is the Russian Federation planning to use - for protection of the borders - giant combat anthropomorphic robots?"

With the proliferation of small PDFs in Shadowrun, maybe I can find time to do something Shadowrun related again. Perhaps space related ...

That would be awesome! A lot of what you did for SR was pretty great, and space is a largely untouched area. -------------------- QUOTE (CanRay @ May 14 2012, 06:45 PM) Give a man a fire, he'll be warm for awhile.
