These values are VERY low in terms of build points, until you realize that you also have to purchase your Magic and Resonance attributes and build them up, as well as buy spells and complex forms.

Commlinks, and many of them can be accessed using a datajack or 'trodes.

The qualities are very similar to the equivalent edges and flaws, but some are completely different. Uncouth, Uneducated, and Infirm, for example, have been put on steroids and now should only be taken by characters who don't want Social, Knowledge, or Physical skills respectively... it takes twice as long to learn the respective skills, and you are in the "Unaware" category for skills that you don't have, which means you can't default to an attribute (or rather, you automatically fail).

I'm not going to answer this one. Suffice to say, it's a shortened version of the same information in the Sprawl Survival Guide.

Most comfortable piece of clothing on the planet.

I guess... but I will never know for sure

Well, i just got in from about a 12 hour drive back to NC from Indy. I started this thread to kinda just tell people about my gencon weekend. I was planning to update it every morning with the days happenings. Yeah after playing SR until 4am every morning, just getting to the conn in time for our 1pm games was rough. And it seems most people have just put up game info, which is kewl, so far I have found most of Sr4 to be balanced.

This sunday morning when i woke up i KNEW what i wanted to say here. That I was sad that I could not buy a copy of SR4 even though thats basically why i convinced my group to go to Gencon. And guys that did not get a book, I feel your pain. Because we like everyone else wanted a copy of Sr4, but just could not go on the 2 hours of sleep to get up and be waiting in line at 8am for the con doors to open at 10. So we had decided that we were going to have to do without the LE and just wait until we could just buy the new edition at home. The only thing left we had to do at the con was stop by to see how we did at the Sr tournament. We knew we had completed the run* which if anyone wants, and it is allowed to speak of, I would love to do a report on* but, did not think we had done it in a exemplary way. There was lots of death, and just plain getting caught which just leads to death via HTR teams. Anyway, Brett I think was the name of the GM announcing the winners of the Corp. Ghost tournament. When he announced 3 places, I was very optimistic that we might get 3rd and a nice copy of SOA. But that went to I think a "kingston/kinston" group. So after that, everyone in my group had their hopes go into the crapper. A team leo, took second and WAS not even there to collect the 6 reg. SR4 manuals. GUYS get in touch with people if you can Well the big buildup here is not for naught. When first place was announced all 5 of my teammates looked around the room for the winning team, then looked at each other in awe. WOOT we won And the reason why was ... i am very proud to say, thanks to a great group of friends and teammates and GM's *not to forget lady luck, cuz thats all you got when your hacking a red 20 *. At 1pm this afternoon my friends and I's con experience went from moderately enjoyable to lifelong memory. That will be my memory of Gencon, not the lines or the high priced food and hotel room, or the 12 hours of pain driving, nor even the lack of sleep.

Sometime, if anyone wants, I will put up a day to day on what happened at the Con SR wise, and like i said i would love to be able to tell the story of our run. If its ok and that run is not going to be used again, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

well I am off to sleep, if anyone cares I was the white guy in a black shirt with glasses, 6'1 180 pounds. no goatee. black hair with a kinda short haircut. Its was nice to be able to put a face to some of the people i have talked to here.

Not just hairy gamer legs. Pasty white-skinned, hairy gamer legs

I need to look into a kilt next year

Hi, I'm nezumi! I post on the forums. *waves*

(Or did you just mean phoneieoix specifically?)

I actually meant forum members at the cons. For example, Tisoz was at origins and GC, and we have no clue who he is.

We don't bite. Mostly.

Lessee... Thursday and Friday I was there pretty much non stop all day, over at the demo table. Saturday I was there at 10 to help with crowd control and lines, then went to the FanPro seminar at 11. Got back about 12:30, but it was already crowded and so I wandered off to actually visit the dealer room a bit (which I hadn't until then). Other than that I was there off and on, usually over at the demo table either watching, running, or helping Brian do his demo's.

As for who was there... Adam, Brian Cross, and Drew Littell were all working the booth. Michelle Lyons (Lady Anaka) and Robyn King-Nitschke (Rat/Winterhawk11) were around. Steve Kenson was generally over at Green Ronin. Rich Tomasso was there, but he was usually GMing events up in 206. I'm sure there were a few others I'm forgetting.

Klaus Scherwinksi was the artist who was hanging around the booth most of the weekend. He's a really cool guy to talk to. Shane Coppage was also there for a bit on Saturday, I believe. Steve Ellis was over in the artists area, as was Nigel Sade. Nigel gets "Cool Symbols" art credit, which i find amusing. he did all the funky symbols you see in the background and such throughout the book. Steve and Shane both did color plates (Steve did the Troll Bounty Hunter and Shane did the Ork Hacker), and Klaus did some B&W art in this one, and did the cover to SoE, I believe.

PLus plenty of playtesters

Hoi Gamma, we had some great runs and much fun! This was, I think, my 4th time as a player in the SR Tourney, but the first time ever to be on the #1 team (came in #2 twice).

The Tourney was a blast, the story was intriguing, the action exciting, and the gms were excellent. Thank you Craig, Josh, and George for being great storytellers, and to Moo for putting it together.

It's an old picture (GenCon 2002, in fact), but I have one of Bull available here.

Sadly, I couldn't make it to GC this year. I was barely able to make it to Origins, else I would've been around for all the release hoopla and signed a bunch of books.
