Hey y'all. As some of you might have noticed, I have - slowly, much more slowly than I'd like - been making incremental additions to The Ancient Files.

While not fully up-to-date yet, I've tackled two of the major hurdles - Shadows of Asia and System Failure. Hopefully, with the upcoming semester break and staying on top of the freelancer stuff, I'll finish updating the main site and get back to fixing a couple of my orphaned pages - like Atom Magic, Echoes of the Crash, and Metagenetics.

That said, if there's anything y'all'd like to see...speak up.

As soon as Black IC is invented, so many people are going to be stabbed in the face over the Internet.

So you're the one who puts these up! I've found pages from your site on Google, but never thought to trace them back to their source.

You, sir, are a god among mortals. :notworthy:

Actually if at all possible some sort of compendium on the Horrors, their exploits, and their possible or theoretical Sixth World activity would be interesting. What are their goals? Do they have a hierarchy, or alliances, or are they all rivals? It seems some of the Horrors have already been active in the Sixth World (Aztechnology & Darke, Aina & Ysrgrathe) and if someone wanted to try to stat the Horrors out for SR4 that would be cool.

The latter is covered in the Shadowrun/Earthdawn crossovers.

I haven't seen it done for SR4 yet, but you could try to adapt earlier conversions.

I was really hoping that if you had time a more Horror-centric distilled version could be made. And possibly including a bit more rampant speculation on their modern activities or aims.

Arrgh! Metagenetics!!! I found that page, once upon a time, and now I can't remember where. ARRRGGHHH!!!

Could you please put the address for that link somewhere? Here? Or PM me? :D Thanks for keeping my favorite SR site updated. Hopefully, in the future, you won't let college or other commitments (besides Freelancing) get in your way. :grinbig:

The Ancient Files are classic, as long as they can be found on the internet it doesn't matter if they never get updated again, they still won't be "dead". Not to say we don't appreciate you keeping up to date, AH.

I took the links down to the Atom Magic, Metagenetics, and Echoes of the Crash pages because they're all seriously in need of revision. In the case of Metagenetics and Atom Magic, I want to do something more in-depth and with book-by-book references similar to what I've done with the Infected and the Invae. Echoes of the Crash needed a big makeover with System Failure, so I thought I might as well wait until SR4 came out before making the changes...which have kinda stalled.

Hey AH, tell me, what do you think of the odds of a connection between Ristul and FAB3?

Minimal. FAB III Delta would eat Ristul.

I don't know about that—FAB III causes mana warps, after all.

No, FAB III causes Voids. Tactical nuclear weapons set off within massive magical wards while approximately a thousand new insect spirits are being invested cause mana warps.

QUOTE (MitS p85)
Mana warps may also occur in places where sacrificial metamagic is used over extended periods of time (see Blood Magic,p. 133). Strain-III FAB (p. 90) can also cause a warp in an area by completely draining the area of magical energy.

Draining the magical energy. It would eat Ristul, or at least lower the ambient mana level to a point where Ristul couldn't be manifest.

What, Ristul doesn't have the Sterilize spell? Isn't FAB III dual natured? Doesn't that mean it would take damage from the area it warps?

1) No idea. Maybe.
2) Yes.
3) One would assume that the FAB III, after depleting the area, would then vacate immediately. Or like humans, it might just overhunt it's area and starve to death. :)

Ristul has a Spellcasting step of 18 but cannot cast any spells, according to the stats in Horrors.

Of course, it would be difficult for FABIII to actually harm Ristul since it has a Wound Threshold of NA, an Unconsciousness Rating of NA, and a Death Rating of NA.
