Flame tank with a flail?

I just bought my copy of this and Safehouse's, so now to read them!

Looking forward to your review, Paul!

I'm pretty pleased with Another Rainy Night. I just finished reading it, and I was happy to see how it was all put together. The fiction piece it starts off with was enjoyable to me, and more importantly held my interest. (A lot of stuff is fun, but can't keep my attention for long.) I liked the feel of the fiction. It felt right to me, and I enjoyed how it mixed the old and the new. I also liked that while the story introduces, pretty clearly, a bigger organization of some sort-it stays small. The main characters can't stop everything, and hell barely make it through. I like that personally.

The game rules section seems clearly written to me-I'll be honest I really liked the Character portraits, something that's actually been pretty decent in several recent books. The equipment seems to fit the game world, and I like the overall concept.

The only complaint I can even come close to leveling is one piece of artwork (Page 13) reminds me of something in another book. But frankly if that's all I have I'm pretty pleased with spending the price I dropped on this. (Damn cheap.)

All in all I give this product a thumbs up, and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a reason to stay with, or get into SR4. Thanks folks.

I'm glad you liked it. *preens*

The artwork on page 13 is a re-used piece that originally appeared in "The Vampire Conspiracy" in Threats.

And I recently figured out who as I began work on "Sail Away Sweet Sister." This one's turning out to be tough to write, though Thomas's ex-wife is turning out to be a very interesting piece of work....

It occurs to me that I never gave due credit here. The spell effects are all mine, but the AR descriptions, especially the sculpting descriptions, were added on whole-cloth (or at least embellished greatly) by Jason during the editorial phase of things. I kinda glossed over them in initial drafts, to be honest, and for reasons which elude me to this day I kinda continued to slip past them. If it's AR and it's wrong, it's probably my fault.

It's my birthday. If you haven't already, you should go get a copy of Another Rainy Night at either the Battleshop or DriveThruRPG. Please rate it and leave a review! If you've already bought and read it, then leave a review to help send traffic to the story.

Thanks for your kind indulgence!

Happy Birthday Patrick!

I've been meaning to buy a few more SR books recently, I think I'll add ARN to my list.

I have taught you well, my apprentice. *Evil Sith Lord Smile*

Well well, we have the same birthday!

I'm so sorry.

Besides, we really don't; we're a day (and a lot of years) apart there.

The family resemblance made me think y'all might be long-lost twins.

Oh yeah, I see, you're the 2nd. Says so on your profile. You post was dated the 1st, that's what made me think you were an April Fool too

What we can probably all get behind is my traditional birthday ceremony: I drink about 20 ounces of hard liquor to get smashed, then watch Blade Runner.

Thread necromancy!!

With the sequel to ARN underway, I've begun work on translating characters from 4th to 5th editions (the book is currently set to be dual-statted). In the time between story-writing sessions, a lot came out, including Shadowrun 2050, and as someone suggested, I reworked Lydia Bowden's cyberware. I'm going to submit that and an SR4 version of the Predator III and see if we can't get the PDF updated and reissued so that everyone can have the corrected stats.

I'm also making sure I have a plot hooks section.

Anybody else still wants to talk about this, or speculate about "Sail Away Sweet Sister," I'm all ears.

ARN is now available for the Kindle and the Nook. Links can also be found in the second post of this thread for ease of discovery, and the BattleShop and DTRPG links in the opening post are still valid.

I confess when I first started reading the adventure narrative, I was confusing the character with Bull

When I first started working with this character, and first introduced him back in Running Wild, I had no idea what the character Bull's actual name was. The writer Bull and I occasionally have a chuckle about it.

And the rest of us tease the hell out of them!

On the bright side, at least there are two different spellings, unlike Kane's Kat and Kat O'Nine Tales (TV Tropes mistook the two to be the same person.).
