This years' new shirt is the Ares "Business is Booming" shirt. We have the two dice designs, the pale blue "Matrix" dice and the red-and-blue "Ares" dice. And of course, the DocWagon patches are new.
I meant besides those (yeah, we all are greedy little suckers who always want more, more, more!

Exactly!
All you have to do is release exactly the amount that every individual fan thinks is the right amount of product.
Is that too much to ask?!

I would love to put a Doc Wagon patch on my white coat. I bet that would draw some questions at the hospital...
I have no idea how I would react if I saw a doctor or nurse coming toward me in the hospital with a DocWagon patch on it. I think I'd laugh till any stitches they'd put in came loose again. Before nervously confirming that they didn't have any Tamanous connections.
Regardless, I think doctors should add patches to their white coats. I've never seen it done, but a few old fashioned sewn on bits of decoration would be great, imo.
Off-topic, but on a medical theme, we had to look up the rules on hospitalisation last session and we couldn't work out what the time period was supposed to be on the cost. Was it per month? Per week? Found the answer the other day in SR4A that it was a daily fee. For a moment, I couldn't work out how on Earth that was supposed to be sustainable or realistic, and then I realised the book was written by people in the USA and that the idea was that if you didn't have health insurance (e.g. DocWagon), then you were, not to put too fine a point on it, stuffed.

In the picture of Steve Kenson, you also have the no-need-for-introduction Ken Hite on the left, and in the middle, the foulest-mouthed-m'fer-in-gaming, Robert Schwalb.

Marriage doesn't stop you liking other people. It's just supposed to give you something more important.
So I don't think you can be condemned for expressing your admiration of Adam in a skirt.

Thanks for all the pictures from GenCon. Especially the product shots. But $10 for a DocWagon patch?
I met Stephen Kenson a few years ago when he was a Guest at ICON, doing his bit for Green Ronin games. We knew each other via mail and e-mail from a while back when we participated in a APAzine called "Scrawls from the Sprawls." Nice guy.

Adam
Aug 20 2009, 04:24 PM
That's correct. We made the decision that it's not considered a core rulebook ... partially because there's just such a wide variety of material in there, and partially because it wasn't released in time to be indexed in the SR4A master index.
[Also partially because we have a bunch of SR hardcovers this year, and color ones at that -- and we wanted to lighten the load on gamer's wallets.]

Thanks for the fast answer Adam!
All of the reasons you give sound logical, the index is HUGE, and I am delighted to hear it wasn't because somebody thought SR didn't need critters.
