And being a Tech monkey...a few songs..

Starfishies
The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in The UK

Right, Click, Hahahahaha

I am your tech support
I am your last resort
Don't know what you've done
But I know how to fix it
Don't' wanna rebuild registry

Cause I do not like starfishies
No caps lock key

Starfishes in the USA
They call me sometimes, daily
Don't care about time
Call the data line
My futile scream cuz there's no more cream

Cause I, I do not like starfishies
New York City!

How many techs said "Can't fix what you want"?
Mess with the best
Die like the rest
I have no M. C. P.
I use common sense

Cause I do not like starfishies
Is there any more coffee?

You have MCSE?
Or are you a CNE?
Or are you a DBA?
I thought you were a starfishie
and just another (l)user
Another pot of black coffee.

I do not like starfishies
And I do not like starfishies
And I do not like starfishies
You know what i mean?
And I wanna kill all starfish
Again I'm pissed
DESTROY!


Kiss from a Starfish
(Originally Kiss from a Rose, by Seal)
There used to be a decent Techie who sat next to me
He became the ideal I wanted to be

Truth is that talent's what kills, not the LART
But did you know that by the phone
My eyes become large
And the truth that you told can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from the Black Widow death
Ooh, the more I hear from you, the stranger it sounds yeah
Now that your lie's in full bloom
My head hits the dent in my desk

There's just so much a tech can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my death grip, my starfish, my pain

Baby, To me, you're like a growing
cancer that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that by the phone
My eyes become large
And the truth that you told can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from the Black Widow death
Ooh, the more I hear from you, the stranger it sounds yeah
Now that your lie's in full bloom
My head hits the dent in my desk

I've been kissed by the starfish of Death
I've been kissed by the starfish of Death
And if I should LART, will it all go away?

There's just so much a tech can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my death grip, my starfish, my pain

Baby, To me, you're like a growing
cancer that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that by the phone
My eyes become large
And the truth that you told can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from the Black Widow death
Ooh, the more I hear from you, the stranger it sounds yeah
Now that your lie's in full bloom
My head hits the dent in my desk

....
........

............

I hate them all
Tech dreams of organic toys
And I'm runnin' out on the edge
Soft screams of the rockerboys
Echoing through my head

Always wanted to play Bottled Demon; my gaming group way back when in Laffalot, IN ran it when I wasn't there.  Arleesh became a major group Johnson.

Now I just want to find myself a GM so I can solo my biosamurai adept through the modules and all.  Imagine deliberately trying to win a Super Brawl by personally-delivered wipeout ...

2009 Shadowrun Tournament
Idol Threats
Twenty years ago it gained the attention of two dragons, now it wants your attention. This year’s Gen Con tournament revels in Shadowrun’s twenty year history, while it manages to pack all new surprises into the mix. All teams advance, so plan on playing in both sessions on both Friday and Saturday Night.

Definitely linked to BD but would need work to be canon. A nice little trip down memory lane though. The tournament had a number of little tie-ins to earlier adventures.

Maybe they should publish it!  ;)

Any news on this Bull? Any chance that we will see a PDF of that tourney? I konw I'd buy it!

No luck on my end.  I'm not even sure who wrote that tournament.  I'll keep poking.

Poking is good. Use a stick.

Keep sharpening it so you can poke deeper if you're not successful  ;D

(I'll see if I can find any info on writer, though I doubt it...)

Edit: Oh! And thank you so much for adding CMP 2010-02 to Silver Platter! It'll let my players build a much more solid connection to MacCallister before we start SRM4 - awesome surprise!

I know who the writer is, so Bull hit me with a message off the forums and I'll disclose the information to you and you can see what can be done by the higher-ups.

Many years in the shadows and I still keep coming back for more.

I've made a habit of running classic adventures for my runners, and Bottled Demon was easily one of their favorites. When they later ran Survival of the fittest, their previous work with Arleesh definitely worked in their favor. And later, in Double Take, they kidnapped Blackwing (especially satisfying after the trouble he caused them in both Bottled Demon and Dragon Hunt).

Though EarthDawn seems like a taboo topic, I always associated the Imps with the Horrors. Perhaps some remaining vestige of their imprints. I'm currently running an adventure during the Year of the Comet where the players are brought in to guard a ManaDyne digsite for naturally occurring Orichalcum. An Atlantean Foundation team comes to content the site, but both work together when they stumble upon a ruin beneath the vein. The ruin has some vague EarthDawn connections, but the special inspiration I got from ED was tainted orichalcum. No matter how things go, the miners are going to go paranormal psycho from the work, resulting in a last fight that brings Ghosts of Mars to mind.

There are minor Horrors called Eendwings that strongly resemble imps.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."

Bottled Demon was one of the first adventures I ran for my old (SR1) group; the street samurai trusted the shaman implicitly on any magical data after that adventure.  (The player running the shaman was spot on on what needed to be done; I'm going to avoid spoilers, though.)

BD and Universal Brotherhood were some of the best old adventures written.

Universial Brotherhood was pure, undiluted High Octane Nightmare Fuel for the players when they got the printout that came with it.
