Might be an oni ork, albeit still skinny compared to the average.

Meh, hope there's more to this than making special snowflakes happy. Cant be arsed with minmaxed furry shapeshifter drake adepts that punch through tank armour and can do pretty much nothing else.

I'm kind of torn about Run Faster coming out before Data Trails, since Run Faster should have the rules in it for making an AI character, which should probably reference things that are in a book that won't be out yet.

I'm kinda torn because the two archetypes that need the most help (technomancer and rigger) are the only ones that haven't gotten a book yet...  That's not cool.  But whatever, it's not like Run Faster won't have some helpful info in it.

Well yes. I wanted Data Trails to be the first side book after the core came out, since they completely revamped the matrix. It was the book we most needed. Both Run and Gun and Street Grimoire just feel like copies of the content of Arsenal and Street Magic, with less rules. I feel like I bought the same books twice and got less content the second time.

That's a fair way to feel about it.  I mean they are essentially just updating the rules for the new edition.  But that's always how it is with new editions in my experience.

On the bright side, I can always think "If Data Trails takes so long to come out, then it'll be the more carefully made and have less errors."  Because if they do any amount of copy/paste from last edition like they've done with some things in the other books, it'll screw up everything since the matrix rules are totally different.

The cover art is great. Hopefully they will keep leaking more tidbits from the book up to the PDF launch.

But what good is any expansion book until people can build characters without having to roll for sanity loss? I want a usable chargen system, then we can talk about expansions

[Zar]

I for one am glad that Data Trails is coming out later than sooner.   I hope they spend the time to quality control it like the other books seem to have lacked.

I saw this pic and immediately sent it to my players! 
I love Echo's art -- first found her when I saw the Attitude cover.

@Bull -- perhaps she could do an additional Bull vs Brony's piece...or would that be Bull and Brony's vs The World?   

Thanks for sharing - very cool!

Cyber-Centaur,  I can now die knowing I have seen it all.   

[MijRai]

I'm still not sure it's a centaur, given that Shadowrun centaurs are, you know, horse-headed, primate-torso'd, three fingered folks.  Either it's a new look, or maybe a SURGE victim?

My ShadowPony...My ShadowPony
Where will today's adventure be?
My ShadowPony...My ShadowPony
Will there be exciting fights for you and me?
Where will you wander? Hither and yonder
Letting your Mentor be your guide
My ShadowPony...My ShadowPony
 I'll be there right by your side
I'll be there right by your side

Don't forget the street sam.  I have a handful of characters I can't port over yet because things like eye lasers don't exist.

Converting cyberware is easy, though. All that changed is that some things got more expensive, sometimes by a lot. If you really want your street sam with skimmer discs back, it wouldn't be complicated for your GM to find a fitting 5e price for them. The matrix was completely rebuilt from the ground up. There's no converting there. Trying to run the Matrix without Data Trails basically requires GMs to house rule their own matrix systems, since the rules are incredibly sparse right now. And Technomancers are just awful. Just...so, so awful.
