I'm just kinda wondering, is there a list of some of the older runners from the from the older books who made it through the 2nd crash?  There seems to be only a few of them on Jackpoint.

The new books are also written as jackpoint articles. Any chump wth a deck and halfway in the know could find shadowland but Jackpoint is more selective. So many of those old schoolers may still be around but not have the connections or inclination to join JP.

But then the 6 years between the crash and earliest 4e book leaves a lot of time for people to die or retire as well.

Fastjack, Picador, Smiling Bandit, KAM, Winterhawk, Ethernaut, Man-of-Many-Names, Frosty, Slam-O, Fatima (RIP), Glasswalker, Kane, Kay St. Irregular, Orbital DK, Rigger X, and Sticks.

These are those of the JackPointers that I'm either certain or fairly sure used to haunt Shadowland. Might poke through older books to see if I spot other names that have made appearances in SR4, since I'm currently mining them for campaign notes anyway.

KAM, The Smiling Bandit, and Bull.  A few others.

The Chrome Accountant got enough money to buy a small island apparently and has retired.

Still waiting to find out what happened to Captain Chaos...

I have a sneaking suspicion about this, but I'm unwilling to go any further than saying "let's wait and see".

Better than me.  I have about a dozen ideas of what might be going on...

'Course, my brain went into overdrive and ran fuel-rich for a bit there when I was thinking about possibilities when I read about E-Ghosts...  So that's why.

I've had an idea rolling around my brainbox for a while.  A horrible one.

I thought that was all the ideas in your head.

I know they are in mine.

[Dead Monky]

Good point.

He's dead Jim.  Gone the way of Hatchetman.

Well, as my Deadlands group put it, "There's dead.  There's Dead.  And then there's DEAD.  Next, there's DEAD-DEAD.  Finally, there's REALLY DEAD!"

[Dead Monky]

Wanna know how to ensure the REALLY DEAD status? 

1) Retrieve the corpse
2) Chop said corpse into tiny, tiny bits.
3) Burn said tiny, tiny bits.
4) Feed remains to ghouls.
5) Kill ghouls.
6) Chop ghouls into tiny, tiny bits.
7) Burn tiny, tiny ghoul bits.
8 Sprinkle ashes over several square miles of ocean.

[CanRay]

Actually, that's pretty close to what their definition was.  Only instead of "Ocean" it was "Different Vats of Strong Acid/Base".

[Angelone]

Guys, he was a decker. A strong breeze probably could have done him in.

[Dead Monky]

We're just making sure, man.  You can never be too safe.
