And in other news snow showers expected in hell later today...

Very cool and even though its a draft, I think it looks better than I anticipated. I'm glad it out for the world to see!

I'll add in again, the early draft for layout and art that we did.
DSDH #1 Early Proof

Nice work, Bulll & crew!

YEAH!!

So....whens #2?

Well at this rate we're cranking out about an issue a year so I'd say Oct 2011. Maybe we should call it the DDH Annual or something.

Enjoying some old ShadowTalker names here.

Did Bull really get an invite to be a ShadowTalker in the books?

Yes Bull is in print as a ShadowTalker. Can't recall the books off hand but they were the later Fanpro titles IIRC.

Shadows of north america for one.-Saw it while rereading it yesterday.

My first "Appearance" was Target: UCAS, actually. I answered a trivia question on the ShadowRN mailing list back in the day, along with Adam Jury and several others, and we ended up getting used as posters in that book. Steve Kenson used Bull as a commentor somewhere else, and after that Bull tended to pop up in a bunch of places (I only used him twice myself ).

There is a "Bull" in Shadowtech, as well, but that's not technically me, since it predates my online involvement or knowing anyone involved by a few years.

Bull

Unless there appears a piece of writing where two Bulls meet, I would just assume that it was also your character in Shadowtech. It makes for a good story, and makes the writers seem prescient.

That's how I've always run with it

Or we could have the two Bulls take each other by the horns over who gets the street name, and the cred that goes with it.

I just find myself thinking about that other Harlequin and chuckling. (You have to have read one example sidebar in 1E to have any idea what I'm talking about, although it is also referenced at the end of the original Harlequin adventure.)

Poor guy got to be the first example of a summoning gone bad. At least his wife got a few cred out of the deal.

Nice, very, very nice. Thanks for this just made my day.

I didn't read much of it, but



That made my day.

Nice work!

I always assumed that was you. Heh, the things you learn. I'll go back to lurking now that I've made my annual post.

You mean monthly. You've on average made 15 posts a year since you joined.

Any idea if DDH #2 will be put together? Or is this a project that has been put on hold indefinitely?

On hold indefinitely.

actually i'm working on it now, got a few changes to the bleeding thing, well ok two really and one's already done and i think i'll leave the second for the next installment, however i do need anyone who's here to contact me Via pm so that i can reconstitute the email circle so issue two is able to be built

Any chance of new folks getting in on the deal with the second (Or third) issue?

in a word, YES!

Anyone can submit, i may send back for clarification of certain parts and/or editing but eventually everything will go to production

Good luck guys!

All right! Now to figure out what to write...

Kraplakistan perhaps?

What about a little story about Bubba, the love Troll?

I think I said here I'd be willing to continue the work I was doing for the entertainment sector. I've got notes for another chapter, at the very least.

As long as Bubba the Love Troll is in place for the Datahaven, all is right with the world

i repeat, anyone who wants in the next issue or wants to work on a constant section PM me and i'll give you my email address

Please tell me Ma Barker is an obvious reference to the actual Ma Barker.

Also it makes me think of Boney M's Ma Baker. And Knorkator's following cover of said disco tune.

Regardless of aforementioned references I think this has a lot of potential, and I very much like reading the adventure structures section, even though I've read it many times before. The Top Ten songs also added in a bit of feel I might utilize beyond our typical troll thrash and rave clubs.

Very solid job everyone. I'm looking forward to more!

i shot you a PM, after Bull had to tell me that he does no longer work on this and pointed me here.

Hehe, yeah, sorry about that Stahl.

Good luck guys. Keep the fan productions flying.

Bull

Not your fault ^^

Ah... "Constant"... My latest hiatus (FOUR MONTHS!) has proven to me I can't do consistent anything.

Hey, i told Bull i'd do a translation of a location writeup when this all first started, and i got it done YESTERDAY . .

Stahl: English to German or (hopefully) German to English?

I did a translation of my writeup from german to english, seeing how german is my native language and i did the writeup mostly for my own gaming group ^^
Why? wanna see the german outline?

I was hoping you had written up a German location and translated it into English, but that is cool too. Thanks!

I did O.o
That's what i just said o.O
Look into your Inbox ^^

But it's not a Canon Location.
It's a Concept Bar i cooked up.

Oops! I saw your second PM (the German version) first and just now found the English. Very cool. Thanks!

Yes, there definitely needs to be more bars!

No Problem ^^

I'm designating that Stahl's bar is in either Berlin, or the Rhine Ruhr plex, Stahl's call on that. Otherwise its going into issue #2

I'd have chosen hamburg, due to it being my home town, but it's your choice now.
Maybe i'll even do a map of the whole building. not likely though, because i SUCK at that.

I might be inclined to do a map if I have time this week.

I have much faith that you are MUCH better than me at this.
Because, seriously? ANYBODY is better than me at this ^^

As i wrote in the writeup, left and right of the mirror behind the bar are the doors to the restrooms.
The Kitchen under the main room is not accessible from the Bar at all, aside from falling through the ceiling/ground.
Same for the Storage area under ground and the security room behind the mirror.
Also, above the ceiling is the living area of the Owner of the Bar. And of course, some rentable rooms/flats for people who don't want to be found.

A map? In a Shadowrun project? You can't be serious! That would be... MADNESS!

Sorry, couldn't help it.
