Soooooo Canray,

Any teasers you can share? nyahnyah.gif
Nope, Bull hasn't signed off on it, so I've been keeping myself busy with other pursuits.

That would make too much sense,remember this is going to be story about Slam-O writing a story about NetCat and a Toaster and posting it to Jackpoint.

He had better get on with it. I have $5.00 in an envelope set aside for this.

Not signed off on it yet because they just got back from the Con or has other concerns about the project or has other requirements he wants from us? nyahnyah.gif

I also work roughly a year ahead of the curve, and we tend to work in story arcs rather than just random nonsense. smile.gif For example, I have roughly 12 SRMs mapped out (6 in various stages of done), all of this years CMPs in the can, an idea for next years CMPs already worked out, and 3-4 Prime Missions in various stages of planning, plus an idea for a possible April Fools Special Mission already lined up.

So it's not quite as simple as "Go ahead and do it".

Plus, yeah. Gen Con was last week, and I *just* walked in the door to my apartment 30 minutes ago (They were redoing my floors and some problems cropped up, so I couldn't get back in till today).

Patience. We'll work with Ray and see what we can do.

Thanks for coming back to us on this. Yeah I figured even once you did sign off on it, it would have be a while before any get to see a finished product as it would have to be designed, put together, checked over, rewritten a few times and finishing touches put on it. Hence the asking about teasers.
Enquiring minds want to know more about 'Toaster' nyahnyah.gif

Welcome home. biggrin.gif

Oh and any rumours of building delays due to a botched run trying to infiltrate the domicile in an attempt to snag some signed 1st printings and preview materials for future splats should just be disregarded. Really...*limps back to the shadows*

We would be delighted to have him join us. I would, anyway. For my part, work continues apace on the long-delayed follow-up to Another Rainy Night; I never thought I'd be working with Anne Ravenheart before getting a chance to deal with Martin de Vries, but that's how fiction goes. I know there are another couple of enhanced fiction products in the pipeline, too. So a little luck should see that line expanding.

Anyway, 35 votes on DS and 74 on JP/SG shows a healthy interest at 109.

Remember if you are interested in investing in this Mission/Story be sure to vote to show your support for the concept.

But please remember to only vote once, whether it's here on DS or over on that other place otherwise Bull calls foul for vote manipulating.

Of course since we all play shadowrunners he should be glad we are not hacking in to vote as Damien Knight or Masura. nyahnyah.gif

A - HA!!!!

I knew that would draw you out and at long last the mask has slipped, Mr. K!! Can I call you Mister K?


TJ: You got me *shrug* Well done.

*does the happy newshound dance*

TJ: Okay, now what?

What do you mean? I have exposed you. I will be famous for this scoop.

TJ: Yesssss... But then what do you think is going to happen?

Well first thing is I am going to call this in and... hmmm.. don't seem to have a signal on the commlink.

TJ: *shrug*

Well, no matter. I can just pick up the phone here...hmm.. no dial tone there either. Peculiar.

TJ: Really? Don't you think if I am who you think I am wouldn't I have..... contingencies for just this sort of thing?

Contingencies? What sort of contingencies *looking around nervously now*

TJ: The sort that would end with me walking out of here..... alone. *shrug*

A-a-alone? *noticing a surprising number of red dots dancing up and down his own body*

TJ: *shrug*

I see. And what sort of contingencies are there if I were to just sort of put this behind us?

TJ: I imagine it's the sort where we both get to walk out of here.

Ah, well then, TJ... can I call you TJ?

TJ: *shrug*

I would like very much to walk out of here.

TJ: Wise decision. wink.gif

Never forget that you owe me your life, Mr. Sendaz. Perhaps, sometime in the future, you will have the opportunity to repay your debt to me...

Actually with you that would bring us up to 37 for DS and 81 over at JP/SG for a 118 supporters. So we have met the minimum, but let's keep up the good work and the more supports willing to buy in on this the better to show support for the concept.

Bull did comment it may be a bit before this project gets some time allotted to it as they have other missions in the queue already, but you can see that at post 159 above on this page.

No, the sheep has been explained. I don't have to harp on it any longer.

Yeah, a little. It fills the void for a moment.
Then it comes back, the emptiness inside. And you realize how hollow your life really is.

KSEN News has reports of NetCat going through the Small Kitchen Accesories section of AZ-Mart.

On the prowl or just needing a warmed soybagel, you be the judge.
