so I haven't been around for a few months but had some questions to run past folks here - mostly the same questions as before, but more refined I guess you'd say. It's been a couple years since I even played SR so forgive me for being so very out of touch and so very blunt about it.

Where do I find SR to GURPS conversions?

How much is a current SR Manual? (I live in redneckville, utah where no-one's sold RPG stuff for nigh on a decade now)

Why the hell did the Federal AeroSpace Administration end up going bust in the first place?

Did Dunkie really know he was gonna get cacked? And what happened to his remains?

Is there still a market for SR-style novels?

Who the hell are all these kids on ShadowLand and why they gotta bring me static? Don't Dave and them keep the pimpin' hand strong anymore or whut?

If there were a Utah sourcebook with an updated Ute Council section, would anyone use it?

Would anyone here consider playing a post-apocolyptic horror scenario which incorporated elements of SR, WOD, and some totally wack wrongness?

Would anyone care if I chugged this month-old, half-empty, flat 2-liter of Black Cherry Faygo?

Could somebody conceivably specialize in fighting with credsticks and be effective? What is damage for a credstick, anyway? Could a physAd or a ninja trained by credstick possibly be an efficient killin' machine?

What's exchange from today's dollar to the SR nu:nuyen: ?

And finally... How the hell do I catch up on everything I've missed over the past couple years? Wassup with Bug City? The Arcology? New Stuffer Shack stuff?

C'mon, now don't be all shy on me...
Slake my thirst for information and I'll be out of your hair sooner, I promise.

my bad. I meant Freedonian Aeronautics and Space Administration. I told 'em, they should have sold the martian-poop on eBay... But noooo, they had to sell out to Microsoft, like everybody else... I'm just playin. I looove me the X-Box and all it's halo-ey goodness.

And SoNA doesn't really cover the dynamics between the Ute Council and the Mormons, and the "Anglo Reservation" inside Ute lands. I was thinking an update would only appeal locally and I dunno if it's worth my time to work on it since most of my gaming research is going into Everyday RPG.

Mmm. I like Jak Koke, but never really could get into the ED world...

Month-old, half-full flat Black Cherry Faygo... Still tastes like flat Black Cherry Faygo.

And as for the horror-game... I don't mean a GURPS-issue cutout game, although it'd probably be easier just to package it as a module for the GURPS engine... I mean an actual world with a storyline and plot and stuff... Think Evil Dead meets SR meets WWIII. I know you probably still won't want to play it, I just wanted to make the distinction, heh.

And are there any more stories from or about axeman, I think his name was, whut got cyber-zombified in one of the cyber sourcebooks? He was bitchin'!

And, um... I should apologise. I threw the credstick crack out there without thinking I'd be taken seriously.

[QUOTE]And are there any more stories from or about axeman, I think his name was, whut got cyber-zombified in one of the cyber sourcebooks? He was bitchin'!

He was called the Hatchetman and unfortunately his story ended with Fasa . However there have been hints in various fan writer's stories . He's also made a few appearences in my campaigns .

And Welcome back chummer .

Actually, FASA didn't 'go bust', they voluntarily decided to cease trading and licenced their product lines to other companies.

Mostly likely goes by DarkeElf, still. DarkeElf used to be a regular, back in the day.

Darke: Dave? Who's Dave? (Joke. He doesn't come around there at all anymore.)

Thanks, Question Man, it's nice to be remembered. I wasn't sure if even Pistons here would remember the 'ol monkey. *nudges Pistons* I'm just playin, ma'am.

And did the 'Land just evolve enough for Dave to let it fly or whut? *grimaces at the memory of SL3* Good thing he got it this far.

Talondel: it was a couple months ago, since I last logged in to chat to see if any ol' folks were still around. I don't remember names but there were only 2 in the chat and guess mebbe they was bored? I dunno. I said "Kids" coz that's my kneejerk response to juvenile e-behaviour.

But when I was asking about Nethr and Trash and Pistons they were like "Pistons left all sudden-like and who the hell are those other people you asked about? Are you sure you're in the right place? Do you know what a paper RPG is?" That last one was probably due to an EverCrack comment I made.

I even got warned away from the dice roll for no apparent reason like I was brand spankin' new or something. But it didn't bother me so much as made me curious as to the state of SL coz we were kinda nice to noobs before - well mostly heh.
But I ain't been regular there for... Nigh on six years now if I reckon proper.
Since Trash and Nethr left, Pistons and BM were really the only other ones I talked to there, so after she left, I kinda lost touch. But I see there's at least a handful of folks here whut used to be on SL, so that's good.

I oughta go log in and rag BM about growin' up so fast while I was away heh.

Fortune - what's the life expectancy of someone in hatchetman's condition? It'd be bitchin' to have more stories about him... Or at least a bio sheet.

Synner - with him working for a corp, I could see that unless he was just a prototype experiment or something because the corp would want to recoup their R&D off him, but I was always curious about a scenario like that because he didn't strike me as an inherently bad man, just a sam who got all jacked up. If the corp had him do things that ran counter to his nature, I wonder if he'd still be all docile and stuff for them.
And I've never played Deadlands. So I dunno if it's like Everyday.

Just asking, since I'm an Admin over there. Like anywhere else, it's not unheard of for someone to get a little razzing (or a lotta razzing), but we try to keep people from out and out newbie bashing (at least, not just for being newbies). Makes it tough to get new blood if everyone gets run off before they even post a character sheet and find a game, y'know?

In the likely event that a cyberzombie develops cancer, it has a max lifespan of 5 years and 10 weeks. (M&M page 59) If the IMS fails, and treatment is not provided (treatment needing a cybermancer), the cyberzombie dies in 3+willpower weeks. (also page 59)
