Forgive me; because, I haven't been following the development of SR4 as closely as many of you asuredly have. I don't want to get too excited for it. My group doesn't like Shadowrun like I do :( . It's in my top 3 favorites.
How's the August release date looking? Any rumblings on pushing back, rumors of a release date, anything? |

No news of a delay as far as I know it. It looks like they plan on getting this thing out for Gencon no matter how screwy the system is or how terrible the cover art looks. ;)

From what I've read the new system is basically White Wolf's Exalted with D6 instead of D10. Roll Attribute + Skill + Modifier in dice and see how many reach the target number of 5. Actions require a certain number of dice to come up "successes" inorder for the action to succeed.
My troupe loves Exalted so, hopefully, they'll give Shadowrun another try. What sort of gripes are playtesters throwin' out there? |

IMO, the playtesters aren't really throwing in any gripes here. Couldn't spot them anyway with all the other gripes going on from DS'ers like me.

Playtesters are bound by a non-disclosure agreement, so they can't say terribly much. A couple have said they don't like it, and a couple others have said that they do.

Besides, folks who break their NDAs are locked in a dark room with Bubba the Love Troll.

I don't think I've ever been to a forum with so many references to gay anal rape before. You must be so proud.

Don't get around much? Apparently you never had the joy/repulsion of reading the Old Man Murray forums before they went silent (the news site hasn't been updated in over 3 years) with it's many references to red tinged toilet water. :dead:
Perhaps he was talking about the other part of the limit? p.s. I'm pretty sure there have been references to the breadth of the playtesters including to including females. Although it would seem to me that, especially when you get outside of War Hammer, just gathering up a group of existing RPG gamers will net you a good catch of estrogen. |

Oh...
Okay... Actually, my point stands. I said 'women', which requires another one to be present. |
