Peter:

Ok, we've had our differences. And while I've done my share of antagonizing you over the years, you know you can say the same.

But speaking as one father to another, I understand how having a daughter changes your life completely. Things change, and what used to be your world ceases to matter in the face of your little one. Suddenly you can't give 200% to a job, or a game, because that little child needs 300% of what you have to offer.

I applaud your decision to put your family first. Too many people get their priorities screwed up. And while I may not have thought much of your decisions as a line developer, I think this proves you are an awesome father.

And coming from me, that's the best compliment I can give.


Jay: Say it ain't so! You are my favorite Shadowrun writer. The Shadowrun universe will be a poorer place for your absence.

[Malachi]

Thanks for all of your hard work Peter. Shadowrun looked like it was dead in the water there for awhile but I know it was in no small part to do your determination and dedication that it is the vibrant line it is today.

[It trolls!]

You can't fool me! You're off to build that astrally warded bomb shelter to spend christmas in in two years!

I hope, this is not the last, we've heard of you though!

[Pendaric]

Good work, sir. Thank you for your time and passion to make SR stunning and inspirational.

[TypeRyder]

Thanks to you, Peter, for all your work and what you have done for SR!

I wish you all the best and everything you need - hopefully we will hear and read from you *g*

[Rotbart van Dain...]

It’s been a strange year, and one crazy ride.

Thank for leading it.

[JTNLANGE]

Good luck Peter, thanks for making a great game better.

Has it really been 2 years? When I look back at all the books that have come out since you took charge, it seems like it must have been longer, but it feels like only yesterday. Thanks for stepping in when you did, and thanks for your work till now, Synner.

Good luck with the family, and everything.

[Critias]

Well, this makes me feel a little better about some response times that had/have me grouchy -- all that aside, I wish you and your family nothing but the best. I've enjoyed the products that I've seen that came out while you were at the helm, and I feel you've left the game better than you found it.

[Blade]

Thank you for your hard work and for the direction you took Shadowrun during your - too short - time as lead dev.

[pbangarth]

Children are a source of frustration even greater than we DSers can be, and a delight far greater than any role playing game.

Lucky you.

[The Jake]

Hi Peter,

Based off our past chats, you've inspired me and convinced me to get back into my writing. I still have every intention of doing so (hoping to finish my submission and get it out soon).

Likewise, I'm expecting my first child and helping my partner has become the priority for me at home already. So in some sense, I feel for ya.

I'm hoping that this means we'll get to see more of your writing, even if you won't be at the helm of the SR Dev team.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

best regards,

I must admit I've been lurking here for too long, but this has brought me out of my silent watch.

Syn, I still remember reading a message in the Spanish mailing list about a crazy project some fans had started, to cover and describe how Shadowrun would be in Europe. From then on, the landslide, the writing, reading, creating, planning, wishing... dreaming, in the end. You were a big part in making that dream come true, and from then on you were there, becoming stronger and guiding Shadowrun into a new path, a more interesting and complete path in my opinion.

So, even if it has been long since we last talked, thank you for everything, on a personal level and as well for your great work with SR. You will be missed, you can be sure of that. So, to make up for that, you better be a great father (congrats on her coming!!) and, from time to time, write something! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

[Snow_Fox]

Peter, I've loved your work on SR. When your attention to detail AND wonderful imagination get turned loose on your child, they'll really have a magiucal childhood.

Personally, thank you for the e-mails we've exchanged over the years and the few spots you slipped me into the shadowspeak stuff.

[Not of this Worl...]

Best wishes Peter and Jay.

[Moon-Hawk]

I'm a bit late to the party, but...
Best of luck. Thanks for all the hard work. Sorry for all the times I was an argumentative pain in the butt; know that it was never personal.
You have my respect and appreciation.

[Dumori]

I want to say more. But after only picking up Shadowrun last year I can't comment on the game before you took the helm. What I can say is I've loved the direction Shadowrun has gone in the the last year. I hope your vision is carried forwards. Most of all I wish you and your family the best.

[Phototoxin]

I wont pretend to know anything about who you are or what you did but I will wish you well in your endevours.
