Stiggybaby used to still have some Denvers, got mine from them.

Not to step on Fortunes toes...

Linkage

Heh. Once you equal me (dinnae forget the novels, boyo), you must then surpass me...by equalling Adam. Mwa ha ha ha.

So what books does adam have that the rest don't?

I'm missing the new Sprawl Sites, and that Into the Shadows Graphic novel.

that's it.


Oh and Silver Angel from the 1st edition Game screen. Still haven't been able to find that.

What else is there to get except multiple copies of Denver in the Shadows for all the sector passes?

Adam-san has an official Shadowrun phonecard from Japan, and has recently taken to collecting all the international Shadowrun books, like the France Sourcebook, the German FanPro products, etcetra.

I can't compete. Even with my minis.

Ye gods, you people frighten me.

The "New" Sprawl Sites? Time to practice my Google-Fu.

-Siege

Whoops it meant Sprawl Survival Guide.

Sprawl sites is mondo old.

My bad.

I started thinking about taking up German just so i could read the novels and books not published here.

Miniatures are something i didn't get into. I lost patience after painting all those old D & D minis from eons ago.

Not sure if i'd want the french sourcebook. It would conflict with my OFFICIAL/CANON German Sourcebook

SR books are easy to come by but WW Tribe books aren't. . Clans yes. tribes no

Adam

I saw that into the shadows book on ebay billed as a graphic novel. Seller must've misspoke.

Which Japanese product?

Where and how do you get the lists of the products from over seas?

Is SR big in Japan?

Does it have an anime feel to it?

I have a Shadowrun DocWagon First Aid kit that I must have picked up at GenCon one year. That one probably only saw one production run.

Does it have a secret compartment for a heavy handgun?

-Siege

Now that gencon is closer to me i gotta go to both Origins AND Gencon.

I got a press pass from the election. It was for the Brackhaven party. He was a Humanis puke i think.

Bleh. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Personally i voted for the dwarf eco nut.

Soka for the Linkage Shadow , but I am a little taped out at the time now .

I know I still have a ways to go . I only have 4 novels , but I wanted to catch up on my US source stuff first . A lot of this I have been searching for for years .Right time right place for once I am always a step behind .
For instance the last time I saw Guide to real life , my friend reached out and grabed it just as I saw it .
The up side is allof it was less than $100 , so I don't have to here to much screaming from the spousal unit .

i always thought it was meant for checking comprehension.

Ie "No elves, soka?"

oh well

7 of one and a half dozen of the other....

soka?

now that we have soka cleared up

What is kanawagaso? or kanawagesu?

Not sure of the spelling.

It was a phrase used several times in the novels and on the 2nd edition contacts sheet for the Elf Poser contact.

Heh, an exact spelling would be helpful Not something I recognize (my Japanese is mainly from 15 hours worth in college and a little other stuff)

Or it's supposed to be an imagined Sperethiel phrase.

-Siege

I'll jump in my way back machine when i get home tonite and dig out my 2nd edition contacts book.

Postage will follow

Soka is Shadowrun slang from first ed. It means a couple of different things if I remember. Anyone want to show the Geek-Knight Hood, and give us a direct quote from the first ed book?

I've heard "So ka" used by Japanese. Yeah. "So desu ka" is pretty much equivalent to saying "Is that so?" in English. Often "A, so desu ka!" (Oh! Is that so?) and doesn't require a response.
...yeah. I've been studying Japanese for a little over a year and can still only understand about 25% of normal conversation. Especially in anime and stuff. That's way more informal than they normally teach us gaijin weirdos.

Bah anime = %90 garbage, %10 greatness.

I love the idea that people are influenced by other things, and then they take them and make them there own. But I have only seen a handful of anime moveis that are worth the film there printed on. I would hate to see SR go all aime (thankfully it wont).

It's true; a lot of people don't realize that there is much, much more anime out there than what shows up in the US, and that for the most part what shows up here is among the best.
I still wish they'd hurry up and bring Memories over here, though. That is a beautiful movie.

~J

Shadow - I'll pick up that gauntlet if i get the chance tonite.

Some of the best Anime of all time is already here. Berserk is a personal favorite, though I haven't had a chance to check out the domestic version yet. Most of it, however, is garbage. On a non-anime (but still japanese media) note, I've been thinking about running an SR game based loosely around Battle Royale. Imagine, a group of despised metahuman teenagers sent off to an island with the caveat that after x days, one survivor would get to come home (if there was more than one, of course, no one goes home). Murder, blood, mayhem

You know, theres a north amercian native tradition where people gt exiled to islands after commiting crimes. It hapened in Washington State a few years back when a couple of native youths mugged and/or murdered a pizza delivery guy (can't remember which). One chose exile and got sent to an island for two years, the other chose prison.

It would make an interesting shadow run..... never mind.

The true meaning of So Ka

Back to the original topic of scoring SR items, did anyone see on ebay the NERPS Inauguration pass?

Keith Richards, 120 years old and still rockin'!

Cool stff

Just because someone asked...Pg. 11, SR1: "'So ka,' Ghost whispered to himself in understanding."

pg. 161 under "Glossary of Slang in 2050"
"So ka (jap) I understand. I get it."

Dunno how I compare to AH in shadowrun stuff, but I can't beat adam - I have no foreign material at all

Own all published SR adventures, sourcebooks, gm screens, and rulebooks, except SSG, Rigger 3 revised and Character Dossier - haven't gotten around to them yet - HiTech & LowLife, DMZ, Sprawl Maps, all novels (and a bunch of the trading cards)

I am missing some minis too - the 'new' ral partha 3rd edition set, the museum scale troll, Lofwyr, plastic Feathered Serpent, and the Grenadier Western Dragon, and one or two of partha's blister packs...plus a number of grenadier ones that I decided were too crappy to buy.

Yes, I am a Geek. Oh, and I haven't started collecting Duels yet - hard to find over here in sweden. I have almost no ED stuff though - AH beats me by far there I think

I'm 5 books shy of owning all the game books and about a dozen or so away from all the novels. Now if I can just find them all...

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the rare stuff...all I have is my CAS Sector residence pass in my wallet (I lost the 24 hour Aztlan pass long ago)...

Anyone know a good place for finding the weird stuff like the medkit? I've never seen any of the convention goodies on ebay...

The Abstruse One

I got my Denver from the Green Bay airport gift shop! It's true.

I found a near mint UB, SR1 (first print, hard cover), Maria Mercial, VR 1.0, Grimore (1st), PAoNA, NANs (both volumes), and tons of other adventures.
The place was even willing to track down a Denver boxed for me.

All this in Perth, Oz.
Shall I give the name of the place?
and website?

Can anyone provide a list of all the official non-English releases for Shadowrun? I don't mean reprints in another language, but original books.

I belive I still have the contents of the old Denver boxed set in my collection, if not the box itself...

ok

i dug out my old 2nd edition gm screen last night and pulled out the contacts portion.

The elf poser ended his spiel with "samma wagga kan?"

anyone out there have ideas what this means?

I believe it's a particularly horrible piece of psuedo-Japanese slang, the meaning of which I think to by "Sammy understand?"

odd piece of language that.

Cityspeak?
