Oi.  It's ugly as sin.  But I got sick of people asking me about it, especially since I had passed it off to others to develop.

This is very much a "Rough Cut".  It was laid out in Word 2003 and converted to PDF via a crappy program called PrimoPDF.  And done with about as much artistic and layout skill as you can expect out of me.

There's the possibility we'll have a "cleaner" version online in the next couple days, and I hold out hope that Chrome will actually finish the real version some day soon.  Until then, I hope this holds you over, and I hope you enjoy.

That was entertaining

[Bull]

Entertaining in a "THis was fun" kind of way, or entertaining in a "Ha-ha, look at that car crash adn all those dead bodies!" kind of way?

[Casazil]

  It was entertaining as in good read and interesting content

Let me expand on that to give proper feed back....

Art ~ I can't draw worth a Frag so I'll excuse myself from makeing any comments on it.

Opening ~ I liked this it says enough about what the idea is with out takeing too much space.

Small Awakening ~ Didn't read it if I do I'll give my 2 nuyens worth.

Advice from a Fixer ~ A good read well plotted out. Although at the end the fixer says you can trust me ...... yeah ok.

The Black Market ~ like the fab armor, under Horizon-Doble MS3TD i had a laugh at the what's the UB comment, And dam if I ain't staying away from the tree!

Music MaveN: The Top Ten Songs You Should Be Listening To RIGHT NOW!!!! ~ This was ok but Eh not real music so just more or less a shadow talk area. (not a bad thing mind you)

Seattle Newsnet™ Screamsheet! ~ LOVED this took me back to the Shadowbeat sourcebook.

RUNNING WILD ADDENDUM: SHAPESHIFTERS ~ Now if only you'd allow a Troll Metavariant Minotaur Tiger Shapeshifter in missions.........(god that guy be nasty after earning like 200 karma lol)

Prime Runners ~ nice write up on Bull and Rush.

Tough Lessons ~ Didn't read it if I do I'll give my 2 nuyens worth.

Giving Form to ChaosT (or Not) ~ I'd say I like to try to give the setting and then let the players run the game I have some things that more or less need doing to move ahead but I do try to let them go there on their own. (Although for now they are running through all the old published adventures)

Dear Mr. Johnson ~ This is a good Q & A stuff.

A Fixer’s Little Black Book ~ I liked the lay out and it gives good info to use them.

Expanded Training Rules ~ Didn't read it if I do I'll give my 2 nuyens worth. (I just let my players get or upgrade skills between sessions)

Dueling Reviews: Shadowrun 4 Anniversary Edition ~ Didn't read it if I do I'll give my 2 nuyens worth.

Interview with a Developer ~ So he plays Wii heh ok now to work him to work the higher powers to get them to find someone to make a Wii Shadowrun game!

Bulldrek ~ A good ending to a great first issue.

Though I am still working though it, so far I am impressed. Again thanks for all the hard work bull and staff. To offer something of this kind of value for free is an amazing gift, thank you.

[Prime Mover]

Stop worrying, don't you know we're just starved for decent SR goodies on a regular basis.  Even as a rough draft it helps fill the void pretty well.

[Bull]

Thanks guys.  I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.  ANd nice review Cas.

THis "Rough Cut" is so far from where I wanted the final product to be, it's not even funny.  But, it's readable, it showcases the art and the writing, so it's workable.

I only ever had part of Issue 2, Chrome was working on the rest of that one, so no idea where it stands. :/

Looks great, Bull. Thanks for all the hard work. Now where did all my issues of Ka·Ge get to?

[Casazil]

Looks great, Bull. Thanks for all the hard work. Now where did all my issues of Ka·Ge get to?

Don't know but if you find them let me see them I promise I'll return them 

[Teutonic Overlord]

Bull, I think this looks like a great product so far.

I had to laugh (in a good way), because it reminded me exactly of Ka*Ge as well...which I still have all my issues of as well.  I loved Ka*Ge and I'm glad you've put this together much in that same format!

[Prime Mover]

I always looked forward to my Kage, when it stopped printing I shed a virtual tear.

FaB armor hmm, now this is were I saw manatech going, giving mundanes an edge.

EDIT: Now just need astral sight and weapons for mundanes. (evil laugh)

[Caine Hazen]

Since we're posting such things... the early proof we circulaed of what the issue was "supposed" to look like when done

Loved it,

I'll be looking with interest at a cleaned up version but for a rought draft that was very nice.

One thing I didnt like so much was the mage armour, It effectively makes a very localised background count which doesnt quite mesh with armour in my mind. Personally I would have given it a armour value just like balistic and impact and just had it add on dice to resist. Armour that means someone casting a force three automatically fails regardless of net hits (net hits do not up the force just the DV) seems wrong especially as the mage will still take drain.

[Kontact]

One thing that caught me as funny is that the New Orleans Urban Brawl team is called the Tombstones.
New Orleans has actual tombs, not tombstones, since you can't dig into the ground without hitting water.

Maybe they should be the New Orleans Blackouts?

[Bull]

I think the Tombstones was actually their official name in Shadowbeat.  The only team we added was the Cleveland Chaos, since that's the Urban Brawl team we used occasionally in my old home campaign, which was set in Cleveland for a time.

If we want new names...  The hurric...  Ok, I'm not gonna go there.  ad taste.
