So, this may be a taxing question, but this seems like the right group for it. What is the status of the repeat posting members of Shadowlands/Jackpoint? Which are confirmed dead or gone?
I do a little follow-up piece after my runs that consists of news clips, stories, and/or accounts of the repercussions of what the runners did. Sort of from the newsnets perspective and the man on the streets. I post this on a private facebook group we have for just my players. They really enjoy seeing how much or how little exposure or damage they've caused (depending on how much information hits the shadows). At the end of the feeds, I usually post Jackpoint-style conversations back and forth. I just started thinking about whether or not to use certain names, as in.. is this guy still alive? |

Fatima died in Ghost Cartels, Black Mamba died in Storm Front, Fastjack/Riser/Plan 9 all started losing their minds to one extent or another in Storm Front. My guess is Plan 9 will be back because his transhumanist viewpoint let him integrate/accept the new personality and he'll be a key input explaining what's going on.

Matador bought it back in 2062, Picador picked up that slack but I seem to recall took a hit somewhere so not sure if still in play or not.
Pistons and Haze are still around, but considering Pistons lambasting Haze in Street Legends and Haze's unsuccessful attempt to kill her, I expect one or the other to be gone soon. Still, may as well use them now to ramp up the tension before one cacks the other. |

QUOTE (Angelone @ Sep 15 2013, 04:21 PM) Aufheben is dead as of Storm Front Wounded, not dead. Black Star's pretty much screwed, tho. Also, Lyran died in Storm Front, while Hard Exit's dealing with PTSD. |

I could have sworn it specifically mentioned him dying. He wasn't the one in the bar was he? I'll have to reread I guess. Edit- Liberator was the one in the bar, the rest of the Black Star are either captured or killed. |

No had heard from her on page 21, re: being in danger in Bogata, but the introduction on page 11, written after the events described, confirms she's alive. There are no other references to Lyran being at risk in Storm Front. |

Aufheben is uncertain. "Everyone" in Black Star is described as having died, though, so he's probably a goner.
Marcos is uncertain. Someone saw him after an initial "WTF, MIA?" query, but he was headed into danger again. |

Things changed from notes to publishing and I haven't gotten my official copy yet. *waves hands vaguely* Ignore me! |

Perri was still alive as of the confrontation in Denver in SF. Fianchetto, Many-Names, Sunshine, and Thorn all posted commentary in that book, iirc.
Edit: Add Snopes to that list, too, and Wyrm Watcher. Both were in the Alamais/Hestaby/etc. section of SF. |
