You sir, are an awful, awful person.



Hehe, I remember him. The only person who was ever capable of editing his timestamps (to something OTHER than a timestamp).

Hey, that's me!

Martin de Vries: By 2073 I imagine there must be some sort of "Da Vinci Code"-ish action/thriller sim about the Ordo Maximus, or at least it's roots in hermetic societies like the OTO. I'd get him that. And imagine him throwing popcorn at the screen in disdain.

Lofwyr: How to Deal with Sibling Rivalry

Clockwork: Any household appliance, inhabited by a sprite.

Richard Villiers: The ...For Dummies series of books, on business. He goes through so many of them...

Not quite true, sometimes The Laughing Man's read "Ha! Fraggin' ha!"

quin: A complete collection of King Arther Tales (written, movies, songs, trid) and a plastic replica of a movie prop of excalabur

Nope, he was the only one who got identifiable text in the timestamp. A few others were able to fudge them (translated to **/**/** **:**:**), but he was the only one who could actually edit them for the longest time. I think two other Shadowtalkers total ended up doing it before timestamps went bye-bye in 3rd ed.

The "Ha! Fraggin' Ha!" was 3rd, as were the ones for Bull, Chrome Accountant, and several others who had signatures.

Crap! My memory for trivia is failing! And it's all I have....

Nadja Daviar: A tube of dark brown nipple rouge.

Plus a plush of Dunkelzahn and, for extra scorn, a DVD of Dragonheart (not a trid, a DVD, forcing her to go find outdated tech to watch it).

Page 80, Runner's Companion, Ghoul Weaknesses, last sentence.


VHS.

Richard Villiers: A palm-reading session with the Seers Guild. Topic: The future of my business in the next 10 years. And a lifetime supply of Ambien. Hey, it can only improve his business decisions ...

Martin DeVries: A copy of Breaking Dawn, the first chapter Renesmee appears highlighted and marked.

Alamaise: A plushie of himself, impaled through the chest onto a stick made of rose wood with neo-elven art deco carvings.

Nadia Daviar: The Superman's Marriage comic fron the Golden Age, with a note inside: 'Not gonna happen'.

Clockwork: A coupon for an extended stay at any Horizon retreat.

Conversely: Netcat: a mechanical stopwatch that iscounting down.

Slamm-O: a box of condoms and a sex ed vid on how to use them; and a small Horizon brochure: "How to deal with mistakes made, and how to not turn a bad decision into a habit".


Awesome, just awesome.

This is just wrong:

Send a Xmas card to everyone in the world.... from Deus that plays the still alive song from portal...

Yes

Beta tape, if you want to be a real douche. But there are all of like 12 of those still functioning in the world today, and then you run into the issue of: "if it can't be played, it won't be watched." DVDs would still be "new" enough that a player could be located that would still use hookups that could be converted to any modern viewing device. VHS and Beta? Unlikely.

My father has to have more than 12 working beta tapes all by his lonesome, but point taken.

I meant beta machines, not tapes. But yes.

I happen to have one of them.

Picador: A Kevlar helmet and a large swath of red cloth.

Dirk Montgomery: Bug Spray and a post card from his sister.

Striper: Rave tickets.

Wolf Larson: Tickets to the Lone Star Policeman's Ball.

Bannickburn: "An Idiots Guide to Magic"

Romulus: Tickets to the Lone Star Policeman's Ball, with instructions that the dress code includes a Dog Collar.

SPD: A book of Lone Star Annual Charity Ball tickets purchased in his name using his real address.

Angela Colotton: a postcard signed "Kyle Haeffner".
Kenneth Brackhaven: "Kiss Me, I'm a Troll" button (from a troll picture in SR2).
any rybocrat (member of a former polish goverment): anything signed "Captain Zbik can see You".

those little plastic multicolored easter eggs.... for the sea dragon or lowyfer

For Howling Coyote: a Coleman lantern and a Fodors guide to Abilene

For Julius Strouthers: a DVD of the Original Series Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold"

For Anne Penchyk: a bottle of Wyrd Mantis Essence

For Lofwyr: a geode

For Angela Colloton: a mass-market paperback of 1984

For Nadja Daviar: a signed poster of Betty Grable

For Richard Villiers: a Monopoly game missing the car

For Damien Knight: a lifetime membership to Americans for Gun Safety

For Buttercup: a copy of Bioshock

For Jetblack: a Virtual Person of Elvis

For Turbobunny: a DVD of Duct Tape Forever


EDIT: I don't mean to offend anyone with the Howling Coyote recommendation

Nah, Eragon is much more scorn worthy

Puck: Pruning Shears (this one is a bit obscure. And recent)

Heh. I'd have gone with a vat-grown rose, white, and said gardening shears.

Eragon is a terrible piece of literature, but doesn't have quite the same impact as watching Draco give away his heart.
(You know, like Big D did)

Daniel Howling Coyote: "Dances With Wolves" DVD.

Dunkelzahn (before he died): Colgate Whitening Toothpaste.

This one I don't get.

Martin de Vries: The complete works of Twilight combined with a spell compunction that requires he read/watch them before he can go Vampire Hunting again.

MCT is running a project codenamed "Rose Garden", which seems to be connected to some sinister matrix stuff. Puck went to investigate some sinister matrix stuff involving "people who should be dead" and disappeared. In Corp Guide, he turned up again, being vivesected in an MCT lab.

Catalyst Game Labs:
a world atlas with elevations and topography

Sorry, but CGL isn't a cannon NPC. They don't exist in Shadowrun.

Kid Stealth: Expensive Leather Cowboy Boots.

It was still amusing.
