lol.

You don't think much or Fanpro do you?

First you think there is no reason except stupidity why they don't publish SR novel in english and then you assume they haven't already looked into getting the rights.

If Wizkid license the rights and if the licensing price is right compared to what the Fanpro marketing team expected in sale minus what they expect in expenses then they will most likely do it. Companies are kind of predictible that way.

Where they sometime get it wrong and make spectacular mistake is usually in their estimation of the market and real production cost. Then you can laugh at the dumbness of their decisions.

QFT

You do know that just because a book is released doesn't mean it automatically makes money for the publisher, right?

Thank you. I was not laughing at Fanpro. Not knowing what goes on behind the scenes I thought Fanpro had not done anything with the english translation of the books.

Well at my store a book is a hit if it sells well. Outside of the store it maybe different. Considering that most if not all of the older Shadowrun novels are out of print and hard to get. Shadowrun also has a decent fan following I can say that imho the books would do well. As long as the stories are well written.

Don't worry too much - some of those novells are nice to read, but usually, they aren't exactly worth remembering.

It's good, but not that good... it is quite rough on the literaric side and sometimes reads more like a game report - even though the story is refreshingly non-generic.
The story itself is a bit problematic, though... it was completly unnecessary for the main twist to be based on non-canon material.

And then we take over the world!

hehe

Who said that we started with the nerds?

Fallen? Nah. We'll just let them do what they please.

And the next time some tin-pot dictator gets it into his head to screw with them, "Hey, you're on your own, pal."

Let 'em get the shit conquered out of them by Kim Jong or whomever finally decides to go on the warpath. Then we come back hard and strong as we ever did, and they go "Oh shits... We needed those American barbarians to man the gates! Please come back and help us, American Barbarians! (We like your soldiers' money, too!)

Must have missed that discussion. Actually, we cry everytime a base is closed, since they bring jobs and money.
I won't dispute that there are same german loonies out there who can't think straight and think pride is better than a roasted goose at christmas.

Oh, while I typed, an admin admonition. How to get back to SR

Military Bases are a good example how exterri..(damn, forget how to write that word) works. Hm, this try was not good enough

Incidentally, shouldn't the Headline for this thread be: Sometimes I just don't understand

That's just awful.

Thank you!

(edit)
It was that, of "Ich ben ein Berliner."

I think I went with teh better choice.

Null sheen. Fixed.

"YEE-HAW!" shouted Luke, the dwarf rigger, as he drove his custom Nightsky across the bridge. "That damn ork will never catch us now, Bo!" His elven companion grinned maniacally as he pulled another Narcojet arrow from a quiver on the seat beside him, and fired back at the patrolling Lone Star cop.

Suddenly, on the road ahead, appeared their worst nemesis. Hogg the Troll, in his pressed white suit, stood dead center in the road, braced for impact.


Wait, you said CAS military. Nevermind.

Git them Duke boys!!!!
