Yo, all. I'm just now realizing that TSS has a bunch of great stuff that I somehow never checked out before. I know, I'm late.

I'm really wanting the whole collection. I just grabbed 7-end off the site, but at the bottom there's the disclaimer about 1-6 coming out "mid-2003" as TSS 1997. Anyone know anything about that?

I don't recall ever seeing TSS 1997, but that doesn't mean it's not right in front of me.

Last August, Wordman posted a link to his archive of a bunch of shadowrun netbooks, including the entirety of the Shadowrun Supplemental. The announcement post is here. I can't remember seeing a post saying it was no longer cool to use it, but you may want to check before diving in.

You're the man. Thanks.

Issue 1 of TSS seems to be missing though... any ideas, anybody?

Issue 1 is near useless; a great portion of it was summaries/capsule reviews of nearly every SR sourcebook to date.

The 1997 compilation was never finished ... once I started working fulltime in the industry in late 2002, I just never found the time/effort to donate to fan stuff again.

I'm sure I still have my notes for how I wanted the compilation to work out, although I haven't worked on them in years. Any of the SR3-lovers fancy an editing project?

Adam, I've got one somewhere on my comp where you and Bull made a dwarven opera singer contact, going for the "most useless contact".

Psht, I can think of at least eight ways to use that contact, seven if you don't name her Luba Luft.

Ah, but useless matters little to the completist!

And yeah, I'd love to have the notes, if for no other reason than curiosity. I really can't believe I never paid more attention to TSS. I ended up going to sleep way too late last night just to finish reading the one that added a bunch of locations to Seattle.

He had your name on it as well, along with Bull. I'll look it up.

Issue 1 nearly-useless? Mm. Perhaps. Though the reviews are quite nice to have for people interested in picking up the old books for background fluff. And where else will you find info on Spiderman-style webshooters? =)

Odd that it wasn't available on the server, though. Now I don't have the slightest idea where I managed to dig up a copy.

Anybody that needs issue 1 can grab it right here.

(provided it is all legal and what not to do it) Can someone scan in all the kage magazines and post them some where to be downloaded?

Either that or does someone have them and willing to sell them to me?

Ka-ge issue 0 had fun stuff Dante and black box, reminded me of cerebus project later on. Was spotty articles but some good stuff that still useing in 4th edition.

Hypo-doc, new patches block all ,combat juice (similar to Jazz later), granite sticky plates,implast gloves, plasma shock (stick and shock later), max glide skid suit for bikers, new spell shapes ie Mana Donut and lance, JE bombast the one shot walking talking dynimite matrix attack program....more but dont have books or my revision notes with me. Also short lived replacement to Kage for those of us who pre paid got few issues of replacement before it went under too.

I think I still have my copies of KA*GE....including the one with my own contribution.
(checking)
Yes! Still have them! :D

Ha! Knee jerk reaction. Neither one thrills me at the upper echelons, so I just lump them in.

Although IIRC, Wizkids makes Pirates! (And yeah, SR. But ... well...)

Apparently I'm a bit slow. Here's the one I was thinking of.

Speaking of Ka-Ge reminded me...

Does anybody know where I can get the SR stuff that was in Challenge magazine? The runs I saw printed were nicely done, and I wouldn't mind finding them again.

You'll have to find them either online or someone who has back issues of Challenge.
