He's still around alright, but he works for The Man now, so you have to pay to read most of his new stuff!

yay!
now that you're a wage-slave
could you write a history sourcebook for 4th ed?
I think the whole history wrap up in SR4 core was way too short...to many significant events in those few pages! (not really a problem for me.. I own all of the 3ed sr material + most of sr2 and some sr1 stuff :insert geek smiley:
I think it would be nice for new players to have an history book for reference purpose etc...
and btw:
I love the technomancer idea... I know I'm a bit perverted

No history book on the horizon, just yet. There are some good things to come, though.

I'm looking forward to some more technomancer material and of course more nano and bioware... sota64 adept abilities... well.. ok I'm looking forward to everything new, thats well thought out
and could you please tell them that the whole earthdawn - sr linkage was great? sr4 needs more 4th world flavor!

I've to admit I'm a total whore to new source books...
do you have some sort of info to give away when we can expect the next sourcebook? (rough timeframe)
hmm I really should get my research paper finished.. tomorrow's the deadline...

There are things I can and cannot say as a freelancer. 's part of the reason I havenae updated my site lately (it has nothing to do with me being busy as Hell. Nothing at all.) So, anything I say on my site will come from reasonable interpretations of what
gets printed, and I do accept and integrate the views of others if reasonable and if communicated to me. After all, I'm not right all the time.
That said, it is never my intent to misinform - which is one reason I don't give out firm info on upcoming products (it has nothing to do with me not being all-knowing. Nothing at all.)

Yeah, all of those things mentioned there are in the pipeline. SR/ED connections haven't gone away, but they will not often be front-and-center. But you'll still see mentionings. Shadows of Asia had them, Shadows of Latin America has them (whenever that gets released), Street Magic may have a few mentionings, and I'm sure other future books will too.
I'd love to see a collected Shadowrun metaplot history book (the German SR publishers made one), but so far that's not something in the pipeline.

Congrats, AH. I look forward to reading (more of) your stuff. I haven't made the 4ed switch yet, but I suspect your work will ease the transition.
You have a good opportunity to represent many of the ideas posted in this forum. It's nice knowing that someone who listens to us rank-and-filers has a voice.

Because I never update them because I don't think it's DSF's job to track who is a freelancer and who isn't, especially because "freelancer" is by nature a transitory description. I just haven't deleted the tag for the people that do have them. It's a relic from previous administrators.

I quite like knowing when there's a (past or present) freelancer in the house. It's a more useful and meaningful title than Dumpshocked anyway.
