Hello from the CON:)
I just wanted to ask what is up with the black kilts from all the SR players? Also, *crosses fingers* SR4 should be out today at 10, yes its noon now, but I am just getting up after staying up til 5 playing in the corporate ghost game. So far gencon has been a blast! To the genconmoble! to quest after the elusive book ;) |

Oh, no, we all love it. We're just giving it tough love.
What? This Ares Alpha? No, it's not to cause harm. It's to celebrate. Here, let me show you. *Empties a celebratory clip into Gencon, followed by 8 celebratory grenades* See? You can just hear the people screaming at how much they love the celebration. |

Nothing says "party" like a dozen WP grenades liberally spread amongst the crowd.

Been there and back.
NO fucking Limited Editions!!! So I paid $27 (Con entrance fee for 1 day) + $10 (parking) + wasted fuel driving a hundred and some miles... All to buy a crappy book for another $35. |

Do you have any idea of what happened to the LE? |

I decided to skim it during lunch and am reeling in shock. I'll try to go through threads and answer speculations, or ask me something specific and I'll check it. |

I hope it arrives during the weekend (in time for the Con, at least).
If not, damn. :( |

What's up with the Commlink operating systems? (If you'd like a more specific, shorter-answer question, how many are there and what mechanical differences between them exist?) ~J |

Well, I like playing shamen and they seemed to take it in the ass the hardest. Btw, the first piece of fiction uses fuck, fuck, fuck and asshole instead of frag or other expletives like hoophead. So much for garnering that younger audience if parents skim that part, or the topless chick on page 44 wearing a couple band-aids across her nipples. On the powergamer front, adepts look to be as powerful as ever and with the way the powers work and are priced, they look like they will rule. |

Just read that part about everyone having them before I started posting. Got referred to a section about "what every shadowrunner should know" 9 different models that have different Response and Signal ratings and costs. Evidently, any electronic device can have IC. They all leave trails (Please note this info is from quickly skimming 3 different sections.) PS: saw some obvious mistakes for erratta. Cyberlimb cost went down but still 1 point of essence. |

Are there any (noteworthy) SR3 -> 4 conversion rules?
They would give (us all) the most change overview in the chargen system I guess ... or pretty close. |

My money is on the change in the magic system. The one reason I played a shaman over a mage was easy availability of spirits. That may have changed.

How does armor work? Does it really just convert lethal damage into stun?
What are the metahuman stat modifers now? Can you give a few examples of what the new ranged combat modifiers look like? (like for cover, or dim light, and so on) Do technomancers need an electronic device of some sort to access the matrix, or do they just use their minds? Are there any guidelines for playing games of various power levels? Is there any conversion info? How does the new Dodge work? |

That makes… no… sense…
Ah well. When you get the chance, I'd like more info on the "trails" that these devices leave. No rush, though—thanks for the intel. ~J |

It costs more to play them with a totem. A mage can do almost exactly the same thing, fire spirits look a bit more useful than beast spirits. The variety and numerical difference of spirits is gone. Have not looked to see about the shamanic mask, if it only applies if the shaman has a totem. Magic in general got screwed compared to any other skill type set. They combined other peoples needed skills while making the magicians need more skills to do the same. Making magicians a bigger karma sink. Compared to adepts, who seem to benefit from all the rule changes. |
