The time a novice needs to read the complete thread is not important.
It is true, for the thread transcends time, rises above it, that it may best drop back onto it and tear open its skull like a cheap tin of spam.
...eloquently said.

Two Days! TWO DAYS!!!??? Upon my return to the thread after my hiatus I made it my main goal to reread the entirety of the holy scriptures. 8 hours and a pint of blood from my eyes later I was finished. Two days is mediocre brother...go back and do it again and don't stop for the bleeding that ocurs. If you are worthy the holiness of the words will carry you through, if not then know that you are dying a much kinder death than the Inquisition would offer you.
Ah but much of the delay in finishing this holy thread was the fault of a lovely young lady. It is my belief that the truths contained within this place are better served by my humbly spreading the message, than my death by angry lady.

Now if that had been said in the first place my ire would not have been so...ire-ful....
I too understand the needs of lovely young ladies and their call for some of the devoted to leave the great Thread of Drop. I have, on occasion, been called from my duties here to attend to the 'needs' of one of the fairer sex. Just be careful about how often it occurs, you don't want the Elders to think that the Holy Drop comes second to some non Drop Bear.
Brethren PBTHHHHT reporting from Tokyo near the Shinegawa station. The visit to Tokyo tower was fruitful, excellent location and height for drop bears to make their drops.
Analysis of the deer in Nara has been complete. The deer population are cunning and have charmed the local population into revering them, protecting them from harm and even feed them. They are the main threat to drop bear incursions in that region.
* In Tokyo right now for vacation, if one ever visits the city, they have got to visit Tokyo Tower and see the city at night from there.

Alright, who is responsible for this?

Edit: Should be clear, on Colbert Report, the news is that some Australians gave the Pope a grey kitten, which had consequently disappeared. However, the footage Colbert showed was what I linked to (well, that's a still frame from said footage).

I give my 4,000th post to the Great Bears' Revolution.
I'm still looking for people to help me with the drop bear adventure, especially the end and the SR4 conversions, if there are any takers. The lack of an ending is making me sad.

So Mickle5125, you should prod the keeper of numbers to update the list. Or did someone just put "our numbers are legion" next to the reported membership number? Not that it would be wrong?
So who's gonna update the list?
I could have sworn I had more than a mere 26 posts in this thread. Hmmm ...
Wow, excellent job, Ryu. I vote you get +1 to your post count for your hard work. Everyone in agreement?
I was thinking when I saw this, our thread grows like the great redood. At first we were fast as a sapling, but now we grow slow and controlled, forming a powerful tree... from which we can drop on our enemies' heads!

Wait! Didn't he just quoted an old posting without adding in the postings made since then?
What? This could be a grave corruption. If this is the case, he should definitely NOT be awarded the additional noted point. To the contrary says I, the punishment should fit the crime. His post count should be rolled back to precisely the point from which he copied his information. Tough, but fair, I hope.
Plus He is missing your humble Floridian Commander. My Troops morale has taken a huge beating. We request a Holiday!!
We hereby declare Halloween Drop or Treat!!

What? You wished me to tamper with the works of brother tisoz, instead of merely quothing the word? May the sky drop on my head before I do that.
You can take the words of Brother tisoz as a starting point...
Drop or Treat is a good idea, especially considering you can phrase it from the roof when they come out to answer the door. And either way, we get a treat : )
The downside being, if they are not home to receive their drop, it could be a long wait, which would spread our numbers thin.
As tisoz lacks the rank of very many other brothers here, myself included, his words are not to be considered "holy" at this point, although his work was excellent. Yes, improving upon it would most certainly be, well, an improvement. It was very good of you to volunteer for that purpose.

Guys, with a little work we could wrap up our Drop Bear Adventure and submit it. We've already almost got this wrapped up. The big thing I need is someone who knows SR4 to do the stats for that.
Who is with me??

Who is with me??
I am!
Do you know the rules of Shadowrun 4th edition, and its supplements?
Sure thing. 
Hmm... We only need two characters specifically statted out, the Drop Bear, Becka, and the villain, Fortuna. Probably a generic Drop Bear template would be good too.
The Drop Bear template in SR3 is as such:
B 3
Q 3 x 2
S 5
C -
I 2/4
W 5
E 6
R 3
Init 3 + 1d6
CP 6
Attack 5S
Powers: Adaptive coloration, immunity (pathogens, poisons)
Weaknesses: Dietary requirement (eucalyptus)
(I assume that makes sense to you).
Becka would be slightly improved, perhaps with a Charisma score and some appropriate Photogenic skill et al.
Fortuna is a wealthy and powerful, but ultimately foolish immortal elf, with no relation to anyone else ever (in case anyone asks). We'll some stats for him.
I'll work on the remainder of the information we need, since I've already written up the majority of the run, then post it up here for corrections, alterations &c. Since we don't have to do floorplans, that's a lot of work we don't have to worry about (*whew!*)
Any other characters you think we need? I can repost it in its entirety if you'd like to review.

I would love to stat up Fortuna. Do you actually want him within BP guidelines, or can I just pull things out of my ass?
He's an immortal elf and an NPC, so I think we can break some BP rules if appropriate. He's involved in one combat (the climactic end one), but will probably escape and survive. I don't know the BP guidelines though, so use your best judgment.
Give me a ball park for BP then. Shall we assume that this is going to be for beginning groups, and so set him up at around 500BP.
I'd say more like 700 or so - he's an IE after all.
If I knew SR4 well enough to estimate BPs for NPCs, I wouldn't need help drawing them up
He'll probably be too much for a beginning group, a challenge but beatable for a moderate group, and about on par for a tough group, I'd assume. But you can alter it as you feel appropriate.

So any progress on this? It would probably be good to get it wrapped up well before the due date.
I should have some free time and be able to knock it out today. With all the stuff going on with the 4A messiness in the main forums, I've been a bit distracted. I shall attempt to finish off Fortuna with all the flair and Inside Jokes required.

Brothers and Sisters! My invincible drop army and I have infilitrated the land known as "Germany". After some inital disorientation and sightseeing we have established a foothold in Rheinland-Phlaz. There are a great many trees and other high places for the Holy Drop here.
As soon as my troops get acclimated we shall begin spreading the word. As cute as they are in their caps and knit sweaters, it does not inspire much fear. Although it could be used as a lure... Hmm... this will need more thought and input.

And thus we start the Draupeneatyerfacenbear Brigade!
My troops wonder if there's a German word for Geronimo or Banzai. They want to give the locals a sporting chance. They love the food here, especially the blutwurst.
