That's based on the faulty assumption that all material is only thought up for the book in which it is introduced. That could have been a part of dragonkind for years before either book.

A lot of the core Dragon info was and is compatable with the Dragons pdf that FASA released for Earthdawn.

Huh.
Now I sort of wonder if Fanany might be Usmundo. "The Watcher" = "One Who Watches The Great Egg Clucth" or some such? It would also work with teh lines about the Rain Queen. But I'm sure there's a billion reasons why this couldn't be. AH, I think that this is your cue. :) -- Johnny Reb, about to recieve enlightenment! |

Didn't think of that. Interesting theory. :)

Before the hardcopy, yes. Before the PDF? I'd have to check. Thanks for digging this up, by-the-by, I meant to look through it again.
[/edit] Oh, here's a cute little conspiracy theory: Umsondo is a Watcher. Some immortal elves serve/served Great Dagons. What Wyrm had a group of intelligence operatives and assets known as Watchers? |

Awaken my thread!
I still have a bunch of stuff that isnt moving on Ebay or any other method, so I'm going to give more of it away. I will be in Chicago at Cod Con the weekend of April 16th. I'm probably going to pack 5-10 boxes of SR stuff to give away for free (a couple bucks for lunch, gas or a better haircut would be gladly accepted though) Is anybody from these forums interested in picking any of this stuff up? Also, I have the ShadowRun city model on Ebay (ebay search "shadowrun city" ) I am ending my 'storage arrangement' in Chicago, so it must go. |

Does anyone have an extra copy of the "High Tech and Low-Life" art book that they'd be willing to part with? I could pay shipping, plus a few bucks extra for the trouble.

What're your listings? I'd go in for a few more crates of the stuff.

Have someone found information about Rugaria among the Earthdawn materials?

My listings are on Ebay under the Ebay store name 'MechJock Depot'
I will be taking the 'store' down for the con season as I tend to give away a bunch of stuff to random SR, ED, and BT fans at the cons or near the vendor booths. (Last year some kids playing SR ended up with 2-3 boxes worth of original development materials, I love being Satan Claws) If you know Phorce Phed, he is a local and can check out the stuff first hand if you can get him to serve as your 'eyes' and whatnot to see if there is something here you want. |

Can you give us any hints as to who might be able to ship 500-lb crates, for those of us not shipping much freight?

Well, it is currently in a warehouse with full dock access, so I suspect FedEx or UPS Ground Freight are decent options.
I shipped some artwork via freight due to the dimensions, and I later had shipment of the Elemental quoted. The elemental is larger than the City in every dimension, and the price largely depended on ship-to zip code. I think as a high watermark I priced midwest to left coast in the neighborhood of $400, but by all means, dont hold me to that. |

I looked at both of those, but I'm not finding anything for single-use freight, sadly. I'll have to see if I can find a way to afford it; is there any chance it'll come down in price, or will it just sit there until you finally toss it or someone buys it?

As crappy as it sounds, I probably wont lower the price.
If the item sells, I have to payout to some people who have helped me store and transport the various items (including the manuscripts and artwork). If it doesnt sell, I dont have to payout anything but gas expenses. I'll bring it home and shoot some stop-motion mecha godzilla destruction, then a bonfire. I pulled my Ebay store today as I now have more people asking me to research shipping and NOT buying, when the descriptions clearly indicate my policy on such things. I'm not going to post a net loss any longer. I still feel the items are / were being sold at near giveaway prices relative to the uniqueness of the items, so shipping should be moot regardless. How often have you even had the CHANCE to buy the original editorial manuscripts and development files of your favorite games and related novels? I will be taking a few boxes of stuff to cons and whatnot, but the bulk will be moved to my spare storage area on my property. From there the stuff will get mold infested and eventually burned or recycled. After seeing someone pay $70 for the retail version (mint and OOP mind you) of an item I was selling the original draft for at $27. I was a bit crushed. Especially when the same person expects me to give it to them for free. I know its a bit of a rant, and many of you have been very supportive, but a LOT of energy and expense has gone into preserving some history of a game franchise I dont even have any interest in. I thought I could give some away, and sell some later, in hopes to at least break even in the end. Oops. |

Check out Stiggybaby Click on the FASA link in the left hand menu. Click on the shadowrun RPG link when the page of SR products loads. High Tech & Low Life should be on teh 2nd page of SR RPG products, at a price of $8. I have made a number of orders from Stiggybaby, and have been happy with their service. |
