To tell you the truth, I don't know if I'll ever actually play Shadowrun again. I'd like to write more for it, but I'll probably stick to statless NPC profiles and maybe some short fiction. I haven't written anything in years, so I might end up posting a lot of sub-par material. But bad writing is better than no writing; I just need to get my brain moving again. As for the 4ed rules; I haven't really looked them over much, and will probably just use it as a reference for writing (i.e. no more rule revisions or advice relating to them). I just don't have the time or energy to run or participate in a campaign. Besides, I'm already caught up playing in a D&D campaign that should be over soon (after a run of 3 years). I've got a prety nifty (albeit neurotic) bard that I'm happy roleplaying and after his run is over; that'll probably be it for gaming for a while. I've left a few important things linger for the last 5 years and I really need to do some patchwork on my life. No time to sit around and pretend. At least, not now. -bh |

Am I the only one who cried when I saw that Blackjack has left Shadowrun for... D&D? *cries* ;P

I am going to side with the keep-the-page-up-for-now contingent.
And if you write more Brumby poetry let us know about it here. I use the example of a typewriter using, poetry writing Troll to get the point of role playing across to my players failry frequently. |

Yes, at least keep the site up.
Thats close to how I used your site back in the days my group of friends became computer literate - downloaded whole and transfered to my modem-free pc on a network gaming session. Your content was always a bit static for me, but good nonetheless... |

Due to popular demand, the site will remain up for now; thanks for the feedback. As soon as I regain access to it hopefully we'll see some changes (the very least of which will be getting rid of most of the PDF files which, while convenient to download, are a true bitch to maintain.).
Now where'd I put that pesky FTP password...... -bh |

Below is a mass-eimail I sent out to a couple hundred people whose e-mails I had neglected over the last few years. Just though I'd post it here because it kind of sums up how I'm going to handle my page from here on out:
BLACKJACK'S SHADOWRUN PAGE: THANK YOU My apologies for sending out this impersonal mass-produced message, but it turns out that vanishing for 4 years can leave a person with quite an e-mail backup. First, my sincerest apologies for ignoring any problems, complains, complements or other comments about my site, Shadowrun as a whole, or just life in general. I have, for the time being, and probably far into the future, given up on being the Bob Vila of Shadow run, reason number one being that I really don't play the game that often anymore. So to all who had questions (or corrected my incorrect answers to your questions) I hope you'll forgive. Despite all of this, however, Blackjack's Shadowrun Page is NOT going to vanish off of the Earth - at least not for a while. I hope to give it a cosmetic overall over the next few weeks and begin adding new NPC profiles and short fiction. I am, however, taking my leave of giving out advice, which means that I'm basically going to be a dick and not reply to e-mails asking for this kind of assistance. It is nothing personal and I appreciate the help everybody provided for me when I needed inspiration from all of your obscure problems, such as what to do when your dog eats your Magic pool dice. But I just don't have the time now and I don't play the game enough to even made an educated guess. You may, however, see an advice column here or there, but nothing truly interactive. With that said, I hope everybody pisses off and lets me work on some writing for a while. I'm kidding, of course. You can find me around the Dumpshock Forums if you really need me, although if I reply to your e-mail with something like "Werbert wazzlefloo", it just means I'm in a hurry and can't come up with anything interesting to say or don't feel like talking. (Hey, I have never once claimed NOT to be a prick). BTW, the e-mail address blackjacksr@mindspring.com will not be active much longer; a replacement is forthcoming. Please contact me through Dumpshock if you need me. Thanks again for everything and best of luck with your gaming endeavors. -bh |

Hrm. Blackjack and Malik.
Weren't you guys the two columnists (for some weird "archive" or something) that ran away with all the money and the nymphs I managed to collect over the years? PS: Werbert wazzlefloo. |

Received my LE today and read that Blackjacks page will be updated in the near future - a good start into a day. :)

Would you believe those darn nymphs ran off with all the cash? Just bolted from the hotel. All I got on me now is a malfunctioning car, a computer with some kind of explosive fan disorder, and hope....hope that the future will bring bunnies and birdies and fluttery things - all of which burn brightly once hit with a flamethrower. -bh |

I should lighten up on words such as "near future" and "soon". Those always get me into trouble. But SOMETHING will happen, er, "near soon". (HA! that could have a billion different meanings!!) -bh |

I couldn't fail to disagree with you less.
