Observation: Holostreets now points to the same server as SR4.com.
Suspicion: Date-related tomfoolery. Conclusion: SoLA is still scheduled for release after CGL finishes their work on Duke Nukem Forever. |

Let's put it this way: no one has paid me for two chapters of SoLA and since I'm no longer a freelancer for Catalyst, I'll let you judge how likely it is you'll see those chapters published by them. Further, Peter Taylor was the Catalyst staff member who wanted to see SoLA out there, and he's no longer the line developer, so...
On the plus side, all the reasons I had for not polishing those drafts up and posting them on the web are irrelevant now. |

The PDF was posted on 4/2, iirc. That was part of the joke, see? Since they're always late for deadline. [/facepalm] But what made matters worse is that they didn't come out and confirm that it was a joke until much later. (Was it really weeks?) Yeah. Probably one of the worst April First jokes - evar - in the history of PnP RPGS. -paws |

Man, you guys are always so serious. Big deal. It was probably part of the joke in the first place. And the dragons were pretty balanced; I made a few sample ones using the rules and posted them on here. They were a little frontloaded, but nothing huge.

The real trick was figuring out how to disguise yourself as non-dragon so the opposition didn't automatically call in the Big Guns™ when they hear you are in the area. -paws |

QUEEG 5000 is a Red Dwarf reference. Lern 2 Wikipedia.
And there is absolutely nothing new about Shadows of Latin America. That page that crizh linked to is exactly the same as it was when I first saw it well over a year ago. |

Ohh and here I was hoping for playable totem spirits this year and a hint at the return of T'Skrang.
Or a double fake and actually release a book on Foo's day. |
