Hey, having to wait forever for German translations of the BattleTech books did wonders for my English grades, it can work . (Clicky-techs new-dark-age of industrial mechs took that game from me. NERD RAGE!)

You might not mean it as elitism, but it's certainly still some ugly "gatekeeper" stuff. You're not in charge of who gets to be called a gamer, who's a "real" gamer, etc, etc. Don't be that grouchy guy telling the kids to get off your lawn, and how real gaming means carrying a sack of books uphill both ways in the snow and rolling your own dice by hand.

But it's the truth!

Do you play games? Congratulations, you are a gamer. I've always identified, in a positive way, as a gamer; even when it wasn't cool to be one. By which I mean I grew up with a 286/386 (PC master race!) and all the consoles from the NES forward and then got into Shadowrun after playing the Genesis title... which also led to the WEG d6 Star Wars and D&D. I was no more or less a gamer before or after entering the world of pen and paper RPGs.

I was in Lofwyr's backyard over the weekend (SPIEL Essen) and was greatly amused to see this: https://imgur.com/GoqciUI
However they do it, Pegasus are running one hell of an aggressive pricing.


(And I found a factory fresh copy of the Munich book in the bargain bin, hooray)

>20 euro for Stolen Souls
Are you sure you want to do this?

Depends, Pegasus fixes a lot of stuff, maybe they unbuggered it?

I liked the concept of having an extraction book but honestly didn't follow up on what the outcome was, or how much anal intercourse it contained. I don't even have the PDF so far.

But still, with CGL's prices for hardcover going up and Pegasus selling it for 20 bucks each (and that's not the bargain bin price), we're approaching the point where language classes and international shipping must be getting cheaper than buying the English hardcovers

Funny you should mention that as I just got the Shadowrun France book and now have to slowly work my way through it with French dictionary and Google translate

Isn't that that book which made the French authors for SoE say "fuck this shit, we'll rewrite France from scratch"?

Still, nice collector's item, congratulations

yep
Indeed, I am told it's like a train wreck.

You know it's bad but you just can't not help looking anyway.

Should be interesting.

20 euros is not 20 bucks, more like 25.

20 Eurobucks
