Prime Runners is not only OOP, but hella outdated.  As for a list, let's see...

FastJack (Decker)
Sally Tsung (Mage, long time ago, prolly retired.)
Argent (Sam)

Just a couple off the top of my head.

Sam and Argent are two different people .

The brackets were his job title dude... Argent is a Street Sam. Get your head out of Twist, the shaman/decker isn't the end all of the Matrix. ;)

Target: Matrix has got a lot of good names, but I don't have it handy. But here's a few that come to mind:
  • The Laughing Bandit (Various sourcebooks)
  • Anubis (T:M)
  • Stryper (various novels)
  • Dirk Montgomery (2XS, House of the Sun)
  • Dodger (Various novels, Brainscan)
  • Dr. Raven, Kid Stealth, and Wolfgang Kies (Into the Shadows, Wolf and Raven. Technically not shadowrunners, more heroes-for-hire types.)
  • Ronin (Technobabel, Brainscan, and System Failure)
  • Talon (Various novels and sourcebooks)
  • Keynesian Kid (Various sourcebooks, possibly not a runner, but did jail time)
  • Cham the Ork (Various novels)

Yup--he didn't make the cut. There were only a limited number of spots needing to be filled to cover various areas of expertise, and Ocelot's area overlapped a couple of other folks' submissions so he didn't end up on the final list. That's fine--I'm just happy that a couple of my suggestions made it. :)

First off,

"Pervy Dragon Fancier"?

Second off, perhaps it dosen't pertain to 4th ed (at least as far as offical canon goes,) but I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the man of mans, the dude incarnate, the original knows-everything, Captain Chaos?

Third, Fastjack? Everybody knows he's the biggest criminal/corporate raider/slick-rick of them all, Damian Knight.

Fourth, "Pervy Dragon Fancier"?

  • Cham the Ork (Various novels)


I believe it should be "The Smiling Bandit" and "The Laughing Man".

Two different people entirely.

Some of my personal favorites:

(Street Samurai Catalog)
  • Hatchetman
  • The Neon Samurai
  • Findler-Man
  • Wedge
  • Winger
  • Steel Lynx

(Rigger Black Book)
  • Nightmare
  • Wheelie
  • Flying Scot
  • Toothgnasher

(Fields of Fire)
  • Matador
  • Colonel Cobra
  • Whisper
  • Winter Rat

In Fields of Fire, you also see more of Hatchetman, Findler-Man, and Steel Lynx.


Personally, I've always liked using the shadowtalk entries to help flesh out the NPCs in the game. You don't always have any stats to go off of, but it gives you a good idea of their personality.

He's dead, Jim.

So were Spock and Dunkelzhan. It didn't stop the former from becoming a cyberzombie or the later from getting it on with Robin Curtis. :D

You sure about the order of characters? Wasn't Dunkelzahn the one dating Valeris(Kim Catrell) :D

Shadowtalk is not what it used to be. There are huge lectures and raving blusters.

I think that the street samurai's guide exercised this the best. The comments were funny, insightful, and gave you optional rules. Most of the later books had massive data dumps from the Cap'n interlaced with whitless banter. I have not seen a truly quotable line of shadowtalk since Dowd left.

Not to mention the occasional "This thread is locked, please post on the related thread in the commons" messages from the Cap'n, then FastJack goes and hacks in his own editorial. :) Those were funny.

"Stop setting a bad example for the kiddies, FastJack."

Yup. But as for whether I'm pervy and fancy dragons or I fancy pervy dragons...I'll never tell. :D

Hobbits...ugh! Make great snacks for dragons, though... :)

Or it could be a double meaning - you're pervy and fancy dragons, and you fancy the dragons pervy enough to fancy you.
