Damn CGL! They get rid of AH and now they release a new edition which ruins everything we love about the game. Curse them, curse them to hell. Happy April guys! |

I would probably give it a go, if only for the awesome 80s of it.

LOL actually back when I started with SR we pretty much played it as cyberpunk, leaving out the magic.

QUOTE (tete @ Apr 1 2010, 10:22 AM)  LOL actually back when I started with SR we pretty much played it as cyberpunk, leaving out the magic. I've actually been kicking around some ideas of modifying the Eclipse Phase rules for Shadowrun, but the magic part has been causing me trouble; I thought to convert the Psi rules over, but magic in SR just does *more* than Psi does in EP. My current thought is to limit magic use to (basically) adepts, which would let me use the Psi rules pretty much as written. ANYWAYS, this is only moderately related to your post...just something that I was reminded of. |

I think I'm most appreciative of how much Gibson is mocked. I like that, since he's so worthy of mockery. Most especially for his writing.

It was so over the top as to be painfully obvious that they were joking and making fun of Gibson (and stopped being funny and was instead painful to read because it was full of "hey, get it? Haha, right nudge nudge, wink wink!"). |

He had nothing at all to do with defining the genre that's the only reason Shadowrun exists or anything. We should insult him some more! Oh, and make sure to knock that Tolkien hack while we're at it. |

As part of our homage to Gibson we should all stop using computers and just use mechanical typewriters, which is what Gibson the technophobe used into the 1990s IIRC.

The joke is that Catalyst is releasing something.
Watch for the Gibson Edition errata, coming 2014! |
