At the risk of being at the front of the line for a very early and elaborate April Fool's joke, are we going to be getting samples of just what changes are being made to the ruleset? Nothing about the evolving story, just about how the rules are going to change.

There will be a dev blog starting soon on the official site. I imagine you'll be getting previews of the rules changes there.
It's not an early April Fool's joke though, I can tell you that much. :grinbig: |

Definitely not an April Fool's joke, like Demonseed Elite said. I would normally have left an announcement like this to Adam but he's at GAMA.
Check out the sticky post in this forum for all of the details that are currently publically available. I'll try to keep that post updated as more information is declassified. :) |

Oh. My. God. I don't know what to say. "Damn that new marketing guy" is one thought in my mind right now. Well, what's decided is decided. Where can we send threatning letters to make sure cyberlimbs and vehicule rules get the love they desperatly need? |

If it wasn't an April Fools Day joke, you'd think they'd release it AFTER April 1st! And look, the only people who are saying it's real all know each other! It's just like them to plan out an elaborate hoax like this... *shives in the corner*
[Is currently in denial] |

Yeah, and "Beware the Ides of March" turned out to be idle chatter and not good advice. ;)

The Gama Trade Show is currently going on, which means companies are revealing their new product for the year to retailers and distributors.
Hard to keep SR4 under wraps after that. Thus the announcement. April fool's had nothing to do with it. Bull |

Look at it this way: Everything everyone's been complaining about now has the perfect opportunity to be addressed.

All we can hope for is that the number of things that are fixed exceeds the number of new things screwed up. :)
I'm encouraged, and looking forward to seeing it. |

If this is true (and I'm doubting it is) I won't buy it. Just out of spite.

Why would you think it isn't true? It was announced at GAMA. It's on the front of ShadowrunRPG.com and FanPro.com. April 1st isn't for another three weeks. |

The back-up plan Group: Retired Admins Posts: 8,423 Joined: 15-January 03 From: San Diego Member No.: 3,910 |
My only reason for thinking it couldn't be true is because I hate to think that I was lied to at GenCon So Cal. I asked several people and was told that there was no plan for an updated system. They pointed to the agrgessive book line that was being pushed this year.
So SOTA:64, MJLBB, every book that has hit the market this year, has it all been a waste and every word said a lie? This really isn't meant to be inflammatory, I just can't believe that this could be in the works and have it completely and utterly denied when asked a perfectly straight-forward question. |
