I'm sorry, your willpower isn't high enough to effectively reduce this sanity loss. How many clue tokens would you like to spend?

You know, it's funny - I once described dice pools to someone as, "It's like in Arkham Horror". Strange frame of reference for SR4, don't you think?

Dumpshock is: that feeling of disorientation you get when your consciousness is forcibly severed from it's direct connection to the matrix... right?

Creepy, I just described dice pools in Arkham Horror like those in SR just last Saturday.

Dumpshock is:
A horrific place where magically-rabid yeti get into fights with shape-shifting dragons over drug dealing territory, and the local law enforcement is doing unspeakable things to unicorns.

Also,

"The Dowd Abides?"

Where I go to recover from the insanity of my players.

None, I sacrifice Duke to regain full Sanity.

Dumpshock is like The Dude; it abides.

Dumpshock is: a run-down Runner bar where everyone's laughing their hoops off at live-feed trid footage of the Star taking down some wet-behind-the-ears rookie across the street.

Dumpshock is:

where magic meets man, machine, and madness.

Fittingly Dumpshock is where you end up after you pull the plug.

Dumpshock is a forum Weregeeks browse on the full moon.

Fucking saved!

I'm sorry I did that I really am but that was litrally what my brain screamed at me.

I remember reading the Shadowrun arc on weregeek, but I'm not a regular reader, so I can't provide a link.

It's actually been a couple of arcs... the way she splits up the comic, the group's got two or three games running at once, but between session breaks and RL plot development, it can be loooong wait in real-time between one session of a particular game and the next. IIRC, they haven't done Shadowrun in close to an RL year. I could be wrong, but it feels that way, at least.

Starts here, and its very gritty noir for a while until they pick up Dustin and Abbie. You don't see Mark's cyberarm until late in part 2, which appears to have been LARP'd based on the first strip or three.

I haven't read past chapter 8 or 9 yet, so I don't know if there's a part 3 I'm missing.

I don't think there is.

And I would love to see her do a full Shadowrun comic.

For me or for Dumpshock? Cuz Dumpshock is also a place where 87% of posts are about how much someone hates something in one of the books, or how they've improved it, or how any given writer is a waste of oxygen, etc.

I don't think it's quite that bad. I see more charfacter reviews than XXX writer sucks. There really aren't that many houserule threads. Although I do think Drop Bear's should be fleshed out more. As should there faithful allies in the Conspiracy(sp?). Then again I am biased.

EDIT- I've also noticed besides very few occasions, there seems to be universal praise of the writers.

For Dumpshock. You'd think most folks would have more fun talking about the things they enjoy then the ones they don't. So be it.

Dumpshock is: a place where you start thinking about the validity of DMAO and laxatives when your boss has pissed you off just once too often today.

Dumpshock is:

Schlock A-Team references wrapped in a chameleon painted black van with a neon pink strip matching the spoiler, rimz and the driver's mohawk. (We're working on getting him to wear some mirror shades, but so far it's not taking.)

I'll work on more later, but lately I've been getting FlaK for the OBVIOUS and UNAVOIDABLE A-Team parallels in our PnP game at home, so I had to go there.

P.S.: Yes, the "K" is capitalized, intentionally, as it was lifted from the German Bundeswehr:
Fliegerabwehrkanone. Translated from the German: "Airman Defense Cannon". Thier designation was FlaK ## where we might have called the thing the M2HB or similar. Why did they do it that way? Not sure. But anti-tank guns were Panzerabwherkanone, PaK, meaning "Armor Defense Cannon". See? You learn something new and completely useless every single day.

Useless fact of the day:
Tony the Tiger's nose is blue.

Dumpshock Is:
A place where Shadowrun players, readers and/or enthusiasts can go to show their ideas, vent, speak their minds and generally expect the same in return, as long as we ALL play by the rules.

Dumpshock Is:
A combination of Field Trip Day, Parent/Guardian Visitation Day, Exercise Hour and Total Lockdown on a rainy day in a long-term observation facility for the slightly askew (which is just fine).
