Wak's been an SR fan for a long, long time, and I've known him for quite a while through RPGnet, where he's been active for years and years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Quite true! I'm holding off on dropping my real name here quite yet, however, as I also have an election this year. It's small potatoes in the great scheme of things (State representative), but, still notthe best thing in the world to have your name tied in with RPGs in the South. Assuming I lose (Most likely, but hey), I'll go ahead and step "out of the basement" officially.

I know your name ... =i) If you want to see gaming give a candidate flak, check out John Nephew's run for city council. That's the John Nephew who runs Atlas Games. His crazy opponent tried to run attack ads based on the Atlas titles Gloom, Let's Kill, and Lunch Money. |

Looked it up; gotta agree with one of the comments: "If this is the worst that his opponents can find on him, he's got to be a pretty great guy."

I know Wak's name, but only because he beat the pants off of me in Monsterpocalypse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Silly Monster vs Popcorn turn rules! They both had that 'team up' power! It only made sense! Bah, humbug. (I owe you one.) |

So, apparently the newest e-book (Safehouses) was written by someone that may be a frequent poster here... Can't quite place his name, however.

It's very well done and written in a style of utter snark. 'twas a pleasure and a minimum of a laugh a page to read, and gives many ideas for gameplay.

I know this is going to be immediately a source of tension, but does any one beside me have a problem with people writing for the game who don't play it? I'm not trying to be offensive, or hurtful-but it does bother me a lot.

In this case, no, because you can tell its someone who really wants to play but through bad luck has been unable to, and its someone who loves the setting. In general though it bothers me. A couple of years ago I met a writer who does a lot of stuff on the 40k Roleplay books. He's one of the main writers on dark heresy and such. Anyway, we decided to play a game. He was running an adventure out of the book. He wrote the adventure. During the session he said he'd never played the game before, we had to constantly check rules, he didn't know the adventure and the whole experience was very underwhelming. It changed my perception or rpg writers though...
Ps I bought safehouses today. Haven't read it yet |

I'm not trying to be offensive, or hurtful-but it does bother me a lot. I've GMed the game a large number of times. I've just never been a player, but I do know the system.Also, I've been reading up on the universe since 1991, so I know it very well. So, that isn't an issue as well. If I had never been with a Shadowrun group at all, yes, I'd agree with you 100%. But I have been in games, just not the way I'd like to be. |

See now that's a change from what I've publicly seen you proclaim, and that actually is a lot easier for me to get behind. Not being a player is not the same as not playing at all. I appreciate you sharing that with me. I apologize if I've offended you.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Subtle difference. I've also written about my group and the stupid things they've done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Nah, no offense taken. If I had never GMed a game even, I'd wonder about things... But I've answered people about questions on rules enough here, as well as know the universe pretty good, so that's not an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This won't be the last you'll see my name on the "Written By" field, either, I assure you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) EDIT: Although, I will have to stretch out with my writing style. I think I went a little too light-hearted on this one. Then again, the person that reviewed my work on Drive-Thru RPG seemed to like it... |

The tone perfectly fit with who the supposed in-universe author was; I wouldn't recommend keeping that same tone for, say, a battlefield book (although it could work; see Delta-62 from Star Wars Republic Commando), but for something like Safehouses, it kept what could have been a very dry, technical piece entertaining and engaging.

Why isn't CanRay on the list in the first Posting yet? O.o
He wrote something for shadowrun. And he is canray . . the fact alone that he never got to PLAY a single game should entitle him to be on that list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) ^^ |
