Ok, we're working on the name for the Magazine. I'm not guaranteeing we'll go with the winning title here (We have some ideas of our own), but... We figured we'd toss some of the ideas out there and see what you guys liked, and see if anyone had any really good suggestions to add in.
So... What do you all think? |

How about 'Jackpoint' or 'Jacked In'? Granted that leaves out the magical side of things, sort of.

I like Bull's Bar and Grill-We could go with a matrix bar theme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Carl Well, Jackpoint is already the name of Fastjack's official VPN, so we should steer clear of that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Also, I'll be naming both the Magazine and Bull's VPN for the fiction section of the magazine, so... We may need a couple names (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I voted for Dumpshock Magazine. It may be simple, but it just feels right.

I'm a fan of ShadowSea or Dumpshock NewsNet. That being said, with the options available I went with Dumpshock Data Haven. I agree with what most seem to be hinting at in that the name should be flavorful so to speak. The setting is such a huge part of SR, and so a SR publication should feel like part of the setting.

Hmmm...
A magazine about Shadowrun A magazine from people using Dumpshock message boards A magazine offering additional Shadowrun material Why not be radical and call it The Shadowrun Supplemental ?? |

Nah. It should totally fulfill Bull's sad little dreams of narcissism instead. Afterall, he recently discovered that SR1 and SR4 are very different! With such amazing insight, I know I'd clamor to read a magazine named after him!
Acidic sarcasm aside, I'm with the Shadowrun Supplemental. Straight and to the point. |

It occurs to me that calling it Dumpshock Magazine will give it the cred and name recognition that Dumpshock already has.
Just a thought. |

True, but if the mag crashes and burns it might hurt Dumpshock.

I voted for Dumpshock Data Haven, but I like the straight up Dumpshock Magazine as well. Either way, I am looking forward to both contributing to the 'zine, and utilizing the contributions others make.

TSS was bandied about early in the process, the project was even conceived on the fact that we resurrect that 'zine. We did present that to Adam and ask him about the name, and he was thinking over the concept of turning it over to us. We decided after discussions at GenCon that TSS was Adam's project and we would steer away from using it as we were not going to entirely duplicate what he had done there.
On the DS name point, as Dr Funk has so succinctly pointed out, DS doesn't always have the best of attitudes to have cred (maybe some notoriety). However, using the DS name would not bring the site down in any way... so a crash and burn on the mag doesn't make DS have issues as well. Kanis, cut back on the drugs... you're gonna hurt yourself.

Ahh Funk, warms my heart to see you posting again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Anyways, for the recrd, "Bull's Mobile Bar & Grill" was posted at Caine Hazen's insistence. I wanted to go with more "straight" ideas for titles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And any writing project that any writer embarks on that they plan to publish smacks of narcissism to some degree. Any writer who tells you otherwise is lying, either to you, or to themselves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Otherwise, why write? And more importantly, why publish what you do write? |

Alright, this one may get scorned for being a pop culture reference, but might I suggest Tech Noir?

Ya know, cornering Adam and grabbing TSS from him might not be too bad an idea. TSS has not seen an update in quite a while, it is a good name with recognition and it rolls, and half the work is already done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Scoop it up under new management, revert it back to its 'zine format, and I think it would work.
