And what does he have to do with Rigging?

The second sentence in the book reads, "And if you don’t know, you’d better find out, because someone else is going to come in with their rigger doing all sorts of fancy Derek, and you’re going to look very foolish."

Does Catalyst even proof their products? Are there no editors? How was this typo missed?

I just can't comprehend the volume of typographical errors that have plagued fifth edition. I believe that the writers are competent people with a passion for the game, but I DO NOT believe that they are receiving the necessary support or oversight to ensure their success.

And another gear book without adequate illustrations? It's like a video game filled with placeholders rather than fully rendered forms. How are we supposed to know what any of these things look like?

Guess I'll be pulling out the previous editions of the game to give players some idea as to what they're dealing with.

Noted in the official discussion on Rigger 5.0 and the multitude of goofs, this is a typo. Replace "Derek" (a proper name) with "drek" (a curse word replacement for "shit").

The rest I will not touch at the risk of touching of some nuclear flames.

For teh record, typo or no, I am absolutely in *love* with Fancy Derek. Dude is clearly wearing a Hamburg pulle dlow over his eyes, he's got killer sideburns, and always, always, *always* wears a tie.

He's not just some scummy Shadowrunner. He's downright *fancy*.

I think some one should make a illustration of Fancy Derek just so we can see just how fancy he is.

You guys rock!

I started visualizing some dapper Dude the first time I read the sentence. Looks like my players are getting a new NPC.

I still want to smack some people, though.

And Jason Statham as Handsome Rob, of course, is the older brother to RocknRolla's Handsome Bob, Tom Hardy.

I think he sounds like the biggest and obviously most well-dressed pimp in all of Seattle (which would also explain why he gets mentioned in the book for pimping cars) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But whatever the specifics, I think everybody agrees Fancy Derek needs to be canonized.

Fancy Derek is Fancy Derek. He's just this guy, ya know?

I agree he needs to happen, and now I cannot imagine him as anything but an ork.

Wasn't there an illustration previously that had an ork dressed in fancy artiste clothing?
