Hi all.

After a couple of months (well... more like almost 2 years) of absence in these boards and in SR in general (don't worry... I never stopped buying the books... to Synner: loved the Shadows of Europe - excellent work - you did it man, congrats) because my life went into chaos mode (got fired, my grandfather died, my grandmother is seriously ill, got a girlfriend, moved to live with her, got a new job and soon after lost it again and a couple of other things that turned my life into a mess... the only good thing should be the girlfriend... eheh) I´m back and the first thing I see is a fragging new edition!?!?!?

I don't know (yet) if it´s good or bad until I see with my own eyes but judging the comments I read around here I´m a little pessimistic. I liked the game as is (was) but will see... (at least I hope the links with ED resist).

Meanwhile I noticed that a couple of the old posters (SubRosa for example) didn't posted since I read this forum again in the last couple of days... They still post or what?

On the other hand I´m happy to see Ancient History is still around... good to have a encyclopedia at hand...

To Synner: So sorry about my silence in all this time but didn't had neither the mood or will. Hope you´ll understand... and remember me...

Now... move away... let me warm in the fire... I bought marshmallows with me.

mm marshmallows, second only to popcorn

Bem vindo de volta. Sorry to hear about your woes and nice to see you back to the fold. Thanks for the praise, SoE is still my favorite baby (though System Failure is close behind) as it opened the way for a lot more writing (yep, it's turned into a semi-regular gig).

Drop me a line when you can and we'll catch up.

(A nova edição é um choque para quem está habituado a SR3 mas tem muita coisa de bom e o setting continua mais ou menos na mesma, sofrendo apenas um salto de 5 anos e a destruição total da Matriz - e sim, tive o prazer de escrever o fim do mundo em SR - Apologies all for dropping into Portuguese)

Maybe we should have a whole forum to kick around the good and bad ideas about having a 4th ed.

You mean this forum, which has had almost 30,000 posts since March?

Hey Ken Sub Rosa left the DS board as fortune said a while back however, Sub Rosa has been seen on the Underworl93 boards run by TheDude and JrWoodchuck.... Hope it helps

when it comes to the posts about the new version, remeber that its the same old same old whenever a new version is released. the conservatives come out of the woodwork to complain about everything being better before and all that.

anyways, its only negative posts as the ones that like the new version are all to happy to shut up and go play it. therefor the view gets slanted from the one-sided overload. but this is similar to everything else in this world. you never hear anything until something is wrong. so, silence is golden

There's a few of us lurking around and a couple of us have actually become regular contributors in recent FanPro books (em SoE, SoA, Loose Alliances e System Failure fomos pelo menos dois e em alguns casos três). There were more Brazilians a while back, namely Mestre Bira and AK but they've seemingly retired from the boards.

Blimey - this could get confusing !!

Oh..
..Hello to all - my 1st Dumpshock post !!

Synner got a brother who's living next to the beast?

Nah, across the street.

At least myself and GrinderTheTroll are easy to distinguish.
