QUOTE (JonathanC @ Oct 15 2011, 01:05 PM)  it's 2070. Who would even recognize Strawberry Shortcake? Also, have you seen a Hipster lately? The outfit isn't my style, but it's not inconceivable. If Japan wasn't so racist against Orks, I could easily imagine this girl running around Shibuya. Ever read Fruits magazine? This outfit is par for the course: http://haikucouture.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/fruits-6.jpg http://www.japan-talk.com/images/jt//fruit...5355972272.jpeg http://lanceunemode.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/4clji34.jpg http://www.japan-talk.com/images/jt/fruits...5355972271.jpeg Wow those are TAME! You should hang out there at night. Of course there are other places besides Shibuya that are just as bad or worse(especially at night). @Shortcake I Love your character (and the art). It seems to be a great fit for your game world (and would likely do well in mine as well). -D |

I've seen the Triumph insult dog sketch for SW before. I would like to see a funny, well-done viral of a SW fan & a ST fan go head-to-head in something fun. Paintball. Dance-off. Rap battle. Lightsaber vs Klingon Batleth (spelling?).

QUOTE (Paul @ Oct 16 2011, 04:46 PM) The good news is I can hate anime (Or whatever) inspired Shadowrun, and all that goes along with it and you can love it and neither of is wrong. We can each run the game at our own table, the way we want. Bravo, Paul! It's not like it's the 2070s and RPG Companies have an enforcement division ensuring RAW or some such.

Trust me when I say if they showed up on my doorstep I'd feel pretty safe in saying fear of physical harm is amongst the last emotional responses I'd feel. |

Odd thing about Anime is that it will happily merge cyberpunk with magic without a moment of hesitation. It's the art style & how most of the younger players like having "pretty looking" metahumans or "more palatable" ugliness. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Maybe that's why vampires have gone from scary looking Nosferatu to now sparkly emo brats.
There are some Anime series that do make the attempt for dark, gritty appearances. As for the Anime inspiration to SR... I think SR was around before the anime craze really started catching wind in the US. Look at edition 1 art... nothing anime about it. |

QUOTE (tehana @ Oct 16 2011, 10:26 PM) Hey guys. I feel a little silly this being my first post on here but I wanted to speak a little bit about the role I can see fashion playing in Shadowrun. [snipery] Hey hon! Nice to see you stepping out into another board now and again. Missed you! Back to the topic at hand, it should be noted that Shadowrun's own fashion trends change from artist to artist and edition to edition ... retro cowboy was big in 2050, but you don't see too much of it in the 2070's, now do you? Long coats and shades were a Thing for a while, but who knows? Maybe 2012, all the corporate types will be dressed like 50's style greasers and poodle-skirted secretaries, while the rebellious types go with close-cropped ducktails and excellent hygine. Of course, given my druthers, it'd be a return to the 1930's, when Zoot Suits were a sign of a swingin' cat and all men wore hats. HATS!!! |

Stick a Troll in an ill-fighting suit, give him a broken nose, and you have a nice gorilla, right?
"Hey Palooka! How's about you show dis here wise guy da bizness?" Shadowrun: It comes in all flavors. |

Mad Men is making a comeback. So you never know, poodle skirts might not be far behind. I'd be so excited by Zoot Suits though. Seriously classic, gorgeous fashion there. Gah, now I have ideas for characters! |

You know, if a troll offered to introduce me to his "little friend", and a brownie with an assault rifle stepped out from behind him, I'd actually be relieved.

Its neat to hear that its making a comeback for men as well! |

QUOTE (Ol' Scratch @ Oct 16 2011, 06:23 PM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzC4hFK5P3g&ob=av3e This one's for you, Scratch. Enjoy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) @ DMiller Thanks so much! I admit that she's quite the character. Sometimes it's less that she fits into the world than that the world bends around her antics. I've got a lovely GM who's fully utilized Shortcake's brazenness, though, and the team she runs with is really good at using her as the decoy/distraction. Also, she loves making things go boom. Goes hand in hand with the distraction bit. I'm contemplating commissioning another piece from tacticalhamster with Shortcake in her more 'casual' clothing and shooting down something; if that happens, I suppose I'll post it up here, since the thread's already been made. @ tehana I've definitely seen the rise in retro revival, ranging from the 30's to about the 60's. It's pretty exciting, since I've got the right coloring/body for it, yaaay \o/ Also I loved reading your small essay on fashion :3 You hit the nail on what Shortcake's doing, and past that, it was just fun to learn something new about fashion as a cultural statement and a way of showing rank. |

You're right, there wasn't much art influence from Japan at the time of 1st edition (but personally, Laubenstein is is own little variation of weird) but it did come out at about the time it was starting to catch on. The Ghost in the Shell movie had come out over here, and lots of people were being exposed to the style through Macross (of which there are elements that are perfectly SR), Dominion Tank Police, and Battle for the Planets. It was starting to get some cultural cache in the West. And Shirow is crazy appropriate for SR. If you've never looked at his work, it's beautiful and full of the stuff that would make geeks glee. |
