Are the commando quarterlies not being updated or are they just delayed public release and the commando's get them first?

I have been working on my scenario write up, but it is getting quite long....do you guys mind if it is long...it is based off the weapon purchase ambush scene in Ronin....

I'll look forward to seeing it!

For my scenario, it's going to have to wait another week or so; we were supposed to playtest it last friday night (glares at gaming group) but everyone who promised that they would come "forgot" and by the time I hunted them down, had just gone to the LAN party and said stuff along the lines of "umm, can we do it next Thursday..."

I know that Commandos will have to use RAW,
but
what about the rule tweaks (p 69)?
I am mostly thinking of grittier game play tweak #1, capping success at twice skill level.

Is it acceptable to use the rule tweaks in the BBB and SM?

Ok well I think I have everything ready to send in so I can be a commando to help out and do my part.

If everything works out I hope to soon post when I'll be be running games both at my first convention as a commando as well as the store I'll be attempting to gather support at.

Ok tis all set I'll fax in the application tomorrow 3/15/07 I now have the support of my FLGS Sci-Fi City in Orlando on highway 50 I will attempt to be there 2 times a month but at the least once a month provided there is interest.

My thoughts are I'll show up about 2 pm on the Saturdays I plan to run and will hang out till about 5 pm unless players show up then I'll be there till we finish the adventure.

I'll be willing to run and of the SRM's I have already played (yes I am attempting to get them all played so I can offer them all to the players) I also will be willing to run other games of Shadowrun that are of my creation.

Dunner is a 10 page adventure enough for the adventure I submit to become a commando?

I have that and the letter from the manager of the game store allong with the rest of the application do I need to type up a please make me a commando because.... letter?

As to the adventure yes I tried to make it go with the layout of the SRM's but I left some stuff vague so as to make it flexable incase you like the story and want to use it in Missions oh and no I'm not a great writer either so I hope you like it.

Lastly I have been asked and have said yes to running SRM's at Oasis 20 in orlando from May 25 to the 27.

Ok all faxed enjoy!

Woot and thanks I shall now try to live up to my duties.

Okay, so I talked to my FLGS manager and the verdict is...

As soon as the book comes back in print and the store can keep a copy on the shelves, he will sign my paper and allow me to run SR4 out of the store. He doesn't want to sign the paper until he can actually sell the product he'll be advocating =D.

So that's where my delay is coming from. I'll send in the papers as soon as he signs 'em.

Hoi,

so after some days beeing busy with job and family I finallly talked with the owner of the local game store this moring. I'm going to meet him this afternoon where we will plan the games in his shop and fax the papers.

We also have a local RPG-Day since February which is held once a month in a public location where I'm already been asked to gm Shadowrun or Battletech games - lots of possibilities to spread the word and attract new players *g*

So, all Papers are faxed (and I hope it all worked - the Fax made some strange noises *g*)

Well, I signed up for the commando program, but I have yet to get the letter signed. I'll be bringing it to The Source in Roseville, Minneota. I've already talked to one of the full-timers there, and he said all I gotta do is drop off the papers at the store and he'll email me back. So I believe you'll be getting those soon.

BTW: Are there any Shadowrun Commandos in Minnesota at all? Or am I going to be the only one?

Well, I've broken down and done it. I'll be faxing in my application tomorrow, eairly California morning. There will be an event I'm planning on running a Demo at on the 28th so I'm hoping to get it all taken care of soon enough to get that event posted on commandohq.

EDIT: Sent, this (4/4/7) AM.

I'm just wondering how long a snail mail application takes to process. I sent mine in Friday the 6th of April and I haven't heard anything.

Hey, it's me again. All apologies about the delay, but I've got my stuff signed and filled out. RL can really, really suck sometimes. Do I still need to write a letter about why you should accept me as a commando/detailing the run I plan if I have the forms signed by the gameshop?

I think it will also be helpful if we get a periodic reminder about how to order an event. I had two sessions of Missions run at RoundCon last month, but they didn't get ordered because I couldn't find any of my old emails about how to do it.

I'm having a few sessions run at ConCarolinas next month, and I'm in the same position on those.

Out of curiosity, what precicely is due to happen to the FanPro Commando program now that the license is leaving Fanpro?

Hm, maybe my current RL hell preventing me from getting the damned papers in the mail was for a reason.... I share the same concern as Cain... is the Commando program still going to be in effect?

And tisoz: Ditto.

Aw. No more jokes about "going commando."
