I don't remember seeing it anywhere on the forums, and at least me don't check very often what's happening on ShadowRN mailing list. And my guess is that what Bull had say may interest some people here.

Pdfs in the future? Now that's great. Time to get old adventures. Seriously, adventure pdfs for some companies are through the roof. Online buying is also through the roof, which really tweaks off your FLGS.

When's GenCon? and how much do pdfs like that typically cost?
.. I think that's all my questions for now. |

Gencon is August 19-22 this year.
Pricing on any eBooks has yet to be determined, as it still depends on contracts being hammered out between FanPro and WizKids, and still may not happen. |

Me, I'm looking at picking up modules and stuff I might have missed, like Lone Star, Queen Euphoria, and UB, PoaD, Super Tuesday, etc.

PDFs would rock my world. :)
Here's hoping Shadows of Asia also includes Pacific islands such as Hawaii. Any idea what SotA 2064 is going to be? Just an update of 2063, or a whole slew of new information? Also hoping Running Wild replaces the Critters book, as it's a pain to try and find that thing. |

As Rob mentioned and has been posted previously on this board, SOTA64 is to include all-new Adept material, espionage, law-enforcement, Euromagic and the regular Culture Shock feature with all new material. |

Hawai'i? I'd much rather prefer they missed that and concentrated on Asia/SE Asia and places like the Chinese warlord states. Since Hawai'i already got a- smallish- book and they're talking possible .pdf releases, much rather they not cover old ground. But that's just me. :)

Except from what I heard, the Hawaii book was more like an adventure with a little (real world) history thrown in. Not much to help out for SR.

Regardless, Hawai'i is not Asia... As it is, Asia will likely be missing sections... Sadly, namely Western Asia. Chances are SoA will focus heavily on Oriental Asia, according to Rob.
As I said in the Hawai'i sourcebook thread, if Hawai'i gets any sort of update, it'll be in a Target Book, if at all. Not really a huge amount of interest in it as it stands... And yeah, I apparentoly forgot to crosspost this info, so thanks for reposting. Bull |

Actually, most of the Source Material for Hawai'i is new information. It's true that it's not that big, overall, just like 8 or 12 pages. <shrug> But the fact is, there wasn't much needed. Some history to bring it "up to date" (As of 2054 or so, I think), some basic info on the current state of affairs, and that's about it. Hawai'i in 2054ish wasn't really much different than Hawai'i 1995, or whenever. And nothing much has changed since... Add a dragon, add a King, and season to flavor. Bull |

Heh, we dragged all my Shadowrun books out back last night for a game.. I don;t have any of the redundant SR1/2 books, and I sold or gave away most of the place books and the like. So with the exception of the critters books, Sprawl Sites, Shadowbeat, and a few modules, the rest is every 3rd ed book so far :]
It's a stack about 3 feet high and weighs about 30 pounds ;) Bull |

A stack of Canon books weighs almost 45 kg per meter of height. Using English weights, its very close to 1 lb. per cm. of height. A three foot high stack is about 90 cm., so it should weigh about 90 lbs. :proof: ;) /Edit: I know newbies shouldn't correct their elders. I'll apologize and buy you a beer at GenCon. |

While I generally don't give a damn, you might want to forget you typed that. At least, 'round here. |

I think he was referring to having a friend with a scanner scan books you already own into PDFs to be used by you. While I'm not sure if even that is perfectly legal, I don't think there's anything really wrong with it -- you own the books already.
His post in the waiting-for-SoE-thread was much more out of line. [Edit]Oops, it was Can't get Magic in the Shadows, not about SoE. Still not exactly malicious, but probably against board regulations anyway. Not that I've never broken those...[/Edit] This post has been edited by Austere Emancipator: Jul 18 2004, 12:28 AM |

NOooooooooooooooo.
I was just cautioning him because people tend to get their panties in a bind whenever the subject is broached. |
