I would like to thank FanPro and every freelancer and playtester who's working on SR4 for doing just that. I think it was needed and I believe that you will do a good job.

Thank you.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Um, it's their job.

But they could have just kept on putting out books with new rules to make a bigger mess and create more stuff that could be interpreted in fifteen different ways because of something said in the BBB. Instead they put a lot of effort into creating SR4 and though I don't have time to read all the posts here the majority of the ones I have read are about how much SR4 is gonna suck. I just wanted a thread to show my appreciation.

Someone has to take the role of the nice & good guy. Wearing a white hat and so...

Wonder who's the evil villain.

if i weren't such a big fan of knocking down SR3 in order to make room for a better game, i'd take the job.

The fact is they (FanPro) are producing product(s) that they want us to purchase. They should be thanking us (and I mean all the SR community not just DS) for continually buying any SR products. Without a loyal customer base, you are in for the long-haul, not vice-versa.

I do appreciate quality products and services, but don't forget *we* are the customers. You will not gain any special favor from Fanpro on your great comments, no one is going to mark your name down on a list and call you up for a cash prize or special award. The only way you can show FanPro you like what they are producing is to continue to buy what they have to sell.

It's almost a given many of us will buy SR4 if nothing else to see what it has to offer. IMO, the bigger telling moment is if folks clammor to purchase additional rules and suppliments beyond the core SR4 rules.

I agree with the idea that certain parts of the game needed some serious attention.

I'm not sure I care for the deckers are now hackers bit, but I'm willing to suspend opinion until I get more information.

And to be perfectly honest, if I don't like what they've done with SR 4.0, I can always go elsewhere or use a different system.

Thanks anyways.

Now, if the developers, freelancers, and playtesters had refilled my coffee six times…

Errata, FAQs, unpublished material, previews, direct access via forums, etc -- there's your coffee refills.

Etc is not an item. That is not six refills. Now, I am sorry, but I ain't tipping on that kind of shoddy service.

Original fiction! PDFs! Developers Blog!

There's seven, six if you don't count the FAQ.

If you're not gonna tip, stop peeking down my shirt.

Well, ok, for that I'll tip.

~J

Add in my thanks to all! I'll see you at GenCon..and I'll owe you all drinks!

I (might) thank you after seeing SR4. I'm not gonna thank you and praise anyone for it before I've got a copy in my grubby little paws, though. Sorry.

Yeah. There's a distinct possibility the changes to SR might actually be substantial enough to kill my equally substantial interest in the game, with SR4. Until I know whether SR4 is all it can be, in a good way, versus all it can be, in a horrible way, I'm withholding judgment and thanks. I'm hopeful, though.

As long as they don't make it D20 I'm pretty sure that it will be a good game.

I know there's a chance (not so big) I might not like the final product, but that doesn't change the effort they put into making the game.

I can part with my thanks allready. This is worth a shot, and I owe you thanks simply for doing it.

(Please, please do it well too )
