The third Saturday of the month is rapidly approaching, and that means that it's time for the monthly Catalyst Game Labs Shadowrun chat. This month, we'll be opening things up to a general Shadowrun Q&A. So, come with your questions in hand, and the Shadowrun team will do their best to field them.
As usual, this will be held at the BattleCorps Shadowrun web chat. So, stop by Saturday, May 17th at 10AM Pacific Daylight Time. |

I try to make it, if I can't, will anyone ask the Devs to provide an example of how interrupts work, if you can stack them, and how many future actions you can borrow, as taken from this thread? Basically, can a martial artist keep borrowing future actions ad infinitum with counter attack and similar moves, and what happens if the combat ends and the martial artist is still about 36 actions in the red, does he have to stand still and do nothing for 2 minutes?

And somebody ask about AR actions in the "meat". Can a 3IP sammy really get 3 AR actions in the matrix and be immune to black hammer?

Per the RAW, Matrix actions in the Meat are doable.

I'm concerned I didn't know about this clarification before now. EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. I guess that ended all the old debates about only getting one AR action...and I missed the resolution until now:) Thanks all! |

Have a look at the official FAQ (and look under Matrix/Hacking) or download the Errata.

As I can not make it could some one ask about AIs as I could do with any news on them. I'll ask any other questions if I can make it but I think that it would be a bit early for me being a Brit.

If I'm not mistaken (though daylight savings in the US continues to throw me off) 10:00 PDT is 18:00 GMT.

Pacific is usually (apart from those pesky weeks when the US is already in daylight time, and the rest of the world not) 9 hours behind central europe time and 8 hours behind UK time.

I will say this: At least the ShadowRun chats have someone who does a transcript of them. The poor battletech people who only get them if a fan has the time to make them. You have to feel sorry for those people, since they shell out all that money, and they can't get a decent transcript reliably!

Running Firefox on XP and chats lock up ever few minutes or get disconnected, never know if I got a question in and most of the time I miss replies? Got script editor off, nothing else running that should bother it? Any ideas?

Not much help unless you have an older version of Firefox than me. Kithran |

Hey Dunner,
Would you be able to post the next chat earlier on the shadowrun4.com site? Most of the players in our group (and it seems similar with most groups) visit the site weekly at best and some never visit the forums. I think the last couple chats only had a 2-3 days notice. Thanks! |

As far as I know, the Chat is normally scheduled for the third Saturday of every month at 10 AM PDT. As such, it should be relatively easy to predict when the next one will be. I'll venture a guess here and say June 21st. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Good point Fortune. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
I dug up the archives on the shadowrun4 site and didn't see any mention of it being scheduled for every 3rd Saturday, although the latest post definitely seems to infer that this is now the schedule. I hope I don't sound toooo pretentious, but can we still make this clear on the shadowrun4 site? I jump through hoops to get our players involved in online SR material, and talking with developers is an attraction to them, but even I didn't know about the most recent one until it was over ... and I'm the only one in the groups fanatical enough to filter through the SR forums. |
