And it's still a damn good read. My Paperback one fell apart, but i still have my hardcover. And I have my grimoire, and many other happy books.

I got the SR1 manual as a wedding present (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
I will of course obtain and use a pdf for any actual gaming, rather than risk it harm. I'll have to obtain a second one though, so I have enough for my two boys (Damien and Lucien). |

Haven't been as active in the last couple since most discussion has moved on to 4th edition and I still am one of those 3rd ed geeks. When there was still support for 3rd, I was a heavy duty participant, cracking the all time top 25 (I believe as high up as 18 or 19) for a while. Just checked and I'm still hanging in there at #26 but been totally eclipsed by yourself and CanRay. ...and so it goes. |

That's dedication.
BTW: you know you're an SR geek when one of the faculty at your college is trying to throw out a 1m^3 industrial plant model, and you intervene to make it into an AWESOME setting for the next SR session. Here's to you ggodo, nice catch. |

I feel like by that point you're rolling Agility followed by Body (although maybe I'm doing it wrong?)

You know you're an SR geek when half of your reason for starting a forum war is to learn more about the way Shadowrunners like to play awakened characters.

My wife and I will occassionally point out news items and say "one step closer to Shadowrun", and my pet bearded dragon is named Lowfyr. ...got my start with 1st ed. with a my old (ex)college game group. Ahh for those heady days, when Firearms skill let you shoot almost everything except heavy machine guns and Troll portable artillery, or the Skill Web which made it possible (as long as you continued to roll 6s) to make a WMD out of a pressure cooker full of kimchee. The game had a delightful raw "edge" back then which slowly faded over the years until pretty much disappearing with the introduction of the current version. The first character I ever played was a rigger named Capt. Canucklehead who lasted several sessions before retirement after being arrested by SS authorities. One of our group picked up the original Grimoire where a new archetype, the Physical Adept was introduced (as I recall, Physads were actually presented as an "optional" archetype in the expansion and our GM was intrigued by having someone play one). Well, having a love of martial arts characters, I couldn't resist. So Enter the Kid. Yep, KK (the PC) is my longest running (and surviving) SR personality who made it through all three editions, as well as Peackeeper (where she was introduced), both Harlequin campaign arcs, Missing Blood and even being 'ported into a campaign in "that game which shall not be mentioned here" (which she of course blamed Harlequin for). So the Kid's pretty much seen it all. Even wrote up a version of her to test out in 4th ed (as starting character again since the GM had something about me bringing a 360 Karma character into his campaign). After that pretty much retreated back to 3rd ed. ----- Yeah, when I read or hear of certain things in the news (don't have a telly) I often have similar thoughts. Particularly over the last year or so. Still wondering when the real drek is going to hit the air circulation unit and, hoping that when I wake up and look in the mirror one morning I don't see pointed ears (considering I live in Portland, TT...er...OR).
