I recently found out that one of my favorite characters in the SR world died, what I don't know is how did he die? I assume it was in a sourcebook so can somebody tell me which and what page? the last sourcebook I bought was magic in the shadows and consequently I've been out da loop.


One of the main reasons I had bought the sourcebooks I have was to see the play between the characters posting, from argent, to smiley, to locutor. Ever since he quickened the stink spell in that bar in revenged for being bounced i enjoyed his exploits,I shall mourn rikki's passing

Bad assumption. Everyone in that list died because they either got careless or did something stupid; while it's not impossible that that was magic-related, it seems unlikely given the kind of intel the SSG has.

Wedge?? He's been around since...SR1. RIP Wedge. I guess he didn't have his trusty AR with him that time...

Or his X-Wing.

True...Wedge isn't exactly rare.

Ricochet Rita and Neon Antichrist I seen forever too.

Figure these folk were in their 20s when the original books came out in 2050. They should be below old age..however early retirement can hit.

Hopefully Fastjack, Matador, and some of the others can hang in there...

FastJack doesn't exactly stick his neck out, scan?

Fastjack does stick his neck out,. Unlike most deckers, he makes sure his ass is covered when he does.

Ahh, damn! now THAT was a cool character...I loved the whole thing with him in Fields of Fire.

Well, I don't think Fastjack is going down anytime soon at least. Unless it's old age, but that old guy is prolly rich enough by now to get Leonization, if he wanted it.

Ahh, Hatchetman, I remember him too...and The Smiling Bandit. Wasn't there The Neon Samurai also?

*gets misty eyed with 1e-2e nostalgia* Ahh, making me remember my first SR game. We had a party of 11 people and it took us newbies about a week to make our characters...

Yeah, Neon Samurai was one.

I'm sure you heard what happened to poor old Hatchetman.

Uh-oh. See, I've beena bit behind on my sourcebooks as of late. There are so damned many of them, I pretty much just get what's immediately necessary anymore....what happened?

Yah, apparently Hatch got chewed up by a rotodrone armed with a Vindicator minigun.

Ouch to both Matador and Hatchetman...

Ratboy no doubt pissed off the wrong mage/magical group. i have a feeling, at least.
He wasn't the most popular chap.

Rikki died because the overflowed damage he took exceeded his Body. Just like all the rest.

I think Wedge was mentioned as recently as Cyberpirates. One of the Huk said, "your poster Wedge burns through ten thousand rounds of ammunition in week! If he doesn't want them, send them here!"

From what little I know of Wedge, he sounded like a real gun nut, so I guess I'm not TOO surprised that he kicked off.

Wait a minute...Neon Samurai?! As in the anti-Ares guy?!! The guy that hated Nightfire for working with them?!! He's dead?! Somehow, I think the suspect list on that case should be pretty short...

Edit: D'OH!

ty hanhsoo for the info, I think I'll look up up at my local book store.


also remember neon samarui and matador, well it's the world in which they live in, to be expected i guess...


anybody else of significance that kicked the bucket?

Wow. I really haven't been paying much attention to the shadowtalk stuff....Anyone heard from Slammo recently?

Double post, second one today. Hmmmm.

Didn't Slammo-O help in the fight against Deus?

wow guys you really know how to ruin my day you know that...with hatch, wedge and rita gone, I have no one to look up to...no one to warship (well at least as sam/fighter/whatever archtypes). o well I gusse thats that way it it with us here today gone tommorow.

You can look up to me.

As long as you don't get warshipped.

In the navy, in the navy... und ne buddel voll rum!

Hey, at least Rigger X is still around.

Have the Big A got round to geeking Pyramid Watcher yet? And is SPD still around with his hickory stick?

Thought i read something by SPD in SOTA:2064... most likely the police chapter. But i'm not sure and can't check my books right now.

Yup, he posted in the police chapter. Another old timer still alive and kicking.

What about Grid Reaper?

Thank ya.
