I have a deep and abiding passion for the works of Keanu Reeves. All future products will contain a direct reference to one of his films.

I don't believe that. Five-year olds can't read. I will believe that it's play tested by a total of 3 people, all who have ADD and an inability to write a coherent sentence....

Every one of the shadowtalkers is bisexual. And has slept with someone else on the list at some point.

Is that the lost chapter that explains how Elves are really from Mars and why Ehran created magic to slow the invasion of General Zorgon and the aliens/horrors form Alpha Centauri. Grooming humanity through the ages to finally be able to create a wireless matrix and artificial intelligences so that the elves can create an army of AI inhabited cyborgs to help them win the conflict?

How about "Sure, you'll have the draft by the deadline. No worries!" or "Wordcount isn't a problem"

William S. Burroughs penned the first draft of Universal Brotherhood but when FASA demanded he cut the "anus spirit" sequence he stormed off the project.

That's obviously a fib, everyone knows that it's actually 5 three-year olds that do the playtesting.

We once had to scrap an entire book's worth of art when it turned out that they were all traces of porn stars.

Didn't something like that happen with a comic series a few years back?

No, Greg Land's still working. He's the current artist on Uncanny X-Men actually.

Wait....I thought that actually happened? And, in fact, is why there is so much re-used art in Man and Machine from SR3?

This thread isn't for serious explanations!

But really, I have none. Except that I never believed for a second that Puck is a good guy.

The chocolate golems, spotlighted in the never-released Shadows of Latin America, will play a key role in an upcoming campaign book. As a tip of the hat to the critically lauded Year of the Comet campaign, one-quarter of the planet's mage population will re-Awaken only to find its skin has been replaced with a sweet and delicious candy shell.

Ahhh, the infamous M&M's Disease. Now they melt in your mouth, and not under the withering full-auto fire of a tripod-mounted Ingram Whiteknight with Ex-Ex loaded up!

The sugar coated awakened threat?


I have heard that there is an underground elvish revolutionary wing of SCAT delving into secret recipies of man and his chocolate.

A fellow freelancer hands me off a printout of some work that he is going to submit. I see a couple of typos and point them out...prompting this reply...

"That is what editors are for."

Was that to me?

So, it is not the responsibility of the freelancer to submit material with anything more than a spell check? Personally, I thought that it spoke volumes about the individual's work ethic.
Stahlseele
i thought you were telling a lie there O.o

More lies : The Awakening will occur on December 24th, 2011.

The Sixth World will be delayed several times, the deadline will be missed, then rescheduled for a release at GenCon 2012. Finally, they will only make a demo at Indie and the Awakening will occur for real only on December 24th, 2012. The Mayas had it right from the start.

Tiger Eyes and I made an Ella Enchanted/Shadowrun crossover. It will be revealed in GenCon as a Shadowrun Mission.

The one which I personally for serious moment have to say: "As a freelancer my word is good as the line developer's" Which is of course hogwash.

I was going to say something about a Shadowrun/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness crossover sourcebook, but then I remembered Runner's Companion.
