Okay, it's bragging time. How many people in here have had posters in the various sourcebooks named after them or one of their characters? I've noticed Dvixen and Synner so far...
The Abstruse One
Full Version: Shadowland Posters from Dumpshock
Well, I guess only German-speaking dumpshockers could know it but there are some shadowtalk-comments by me in Arsenal 2060 (the German version of the Cannon Companion).
Yo. Jon (Szeto) and spud have, as well. There's quite a few.
IIRC Audun, Labrat and Flak Jack (aka Flakjacket)...
Bull's in there, but probably because he stuck them in there. 
Well, there is a Black Isis, but sadly, I didn't have anything to do with it. 
She was the one attributed with the posting of the corporate profiles way back in Corporate Shadowfiles, too.

The best i got was a blurb on shadows website.
I'm on page 59 of SOTA.
Sadly, I'm still waiting on mine.
I'm thinking I probably don't post enough...
Despite having been around since the really old tope coloured forums...
Guess nobody likes us trogs who live in sewers...

I've seen Bleach, Teucer, and Zan, all major characters from my ten years-strong campaign, posting once or twice in a few books, but that may just be a coincedence.

I haven't posted here in close to two years.
Which is probably why they killed you, nasty Rigger. 
I've never played a rigger in my life, but beggars can't be choosers.
I got a minor mention in Target: Matrix.
I appear in SOTA: 2063 in the mercs chapter a couple times, and I'm not completely sure about it, but I believe I appear in Dragons too, though I don't own it so can't say for sure.
And one of my PCs was called Stalker, which actually appears posting in one of the latest books... pity Stalker had already been brainwashed by Aztech by then...

What I want? I don't wanna appear in any books. I DO want Smokin' Joe to come back in some capacity, though. Maybe some new beastie book.
I just loved the bastard's stories.

I got into Dragons, through threating and cajoling a freelancer. I made the mistake of sending the kitten back to them, though, so I'm out of leverage for another appearance.
Two characters from old campaign of mine, Twitch and Cheshire, got mentions as examples in the SR3 mainbook. I can't say for absolute certainity that I'm the source, but I was trading a lot of email with Mulvhill in 18 months prior to the publication of SR3. My somewhat pathetic website was in my email sig line. Who knows? Fun to speculate, though.

I could say the exact same thing.
At least I had my real name in Dunky's Secrets.

Nope, not quite Deev ;]
I originally got in Target UCAS purely by luck. I won a "contest" Mike Mulvihill threw into an email to the ShadowRN mailing list way back when. He quoted Big Trouble in Little China and had "Name the quote, win a prize!" in his .sig. I think we all assumed that it was a joke, but several of us replied anyways (Spike, Granite, Adam (as Fro), and a couple others, plus me), and our prize was a quote in Target: UCAS. This was before I was involved with FASA as a freelancer or convention bitch.
I've thus far only had two small things published, the critters section of YotC and Peri in Dragons, so those are the only times I've been responsible for Bull showing up. The others have been other writers putting him in.
Side note, the name Bull was used in Shadowtech (IIRC), long before I ever got online.

I hear you. My name is from a character in a childrens program. Still, a roundabout mention would be nice
Mine was my dad's old Civ-band callsign when he was a Health Inspector, so no harm there - and Bagpuss, love the sig - I agree totally
Closest I've gotten was a NERP's book or two thanks to a freind of mine who was part of it.
Does being drawn into a Comic book count?

Never let it be said that I make empty threats.
I doubt I'll ever make it there, unless Lord Phylos or just Phylos gets used...
Maybe when the time comes and I release NERPS on an unsuspecting public (because, let's face it, I'm not even taken seriously here, let alone by REAL people )
Of course by then nobody will play SR anymore because the general concensus will be that the 12th edition ruined it

I invented my name. I was in a poetic mood so I just created it out of whole thread.
That said I doubt it'll ever get used. It's not particularly memorable, not to mention a little close to the name of a canon character.
My old name, Poe's Ghost, was the "callsign" of a particularly weird character in this series of books I read about 2 years ago. He had autism, I have autism, so I kinda felt drawn to the name
And Bull, there is a Bull in Target: Smuggler Havens. Or is that a different Bull?

Myself, and characters I've played, have appeared in a few sourcebooks.
Wireknight, Paul E. Hedron, Prodigal Son, and, I think, Matrix Fox.

Personally, i'd love to see my name on a book, but it's not likely to happen

Not sure which one, but I know I saw Raygun in a book somewhere. (Now to just annoy the freelancers at GenCon enough next year *evil laugh*)
Buying us drinks helps.
D'oh, crappy British Suburbia... crappy lack of Gencon... crappy local gaming inadequacies...
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Drain Brain, it's worse here in Spain's butt. The only conventions I've seen in my city are the ones my club organized some years ago, plus those of the japanese club. This more than 
Now you guys have got me curious. How DOES one get their character into one of these books??

From what I can tell, all the Dumpshock people who've gotten Shadowland posters named after them are either frequent posters or are people who do a lot of work in the Shadowrun community, like doing lots of net projects and stuff. Kinda like a reward for service or whatever.

Sepherim, remember that there are other Spanish-speaking players who don't even get that.
Q: Does AH get a mention anywhere? If community service is a way to get this "reward", he certainly deserves it.
Not yet.
Hm, anyone going to be at GenCon SoCal? Technically I can't buy drinks, but I can pay for them
I doubt I'll be making it; it's pretty close to my planned trip to Amsterdam.

Well that's no excuse man! If I can drag my arse out to Milwaukee and Indy from sodding Birmingham, others can make it. Mind you, even that didn't help. My nick still got mangled in the editing stage.

at least if the name should fit to my character
my 500 karmas BlackSmith, is a HardCore spell slinger and martial artist who teases his partys cybersam's about their puny cyber while he self lacks compleatly from cyber.
manaball with force 11 works much better.
maybe when he gets computer skill and buys a tortoes farlight from his candy money...
