I'd love to see some new Tim Bradstreet and Alex Ross pieces, but that's a pipe dream.

Pipe dreams can come true.  Look at Alice in Wonderland!

That was probably written on Opium.

Wow.... Ok, this will be fun. A chance to run my group through every damned adventure written. *twitches* Ok, maybe not some... *Giggles* A chance to run with Harley when they are young... And then again when they are all 22 years older. As long as they aren't orks... Or trolls. Or got killed in between then and now... *Shrugs* Ok, guess not... Hehehe.

Yes! Thank heavens I'm not the only one daydreaming about this. Tim Bradstreet's art was my favorite part of SR2 and really sold me on the setting. I still flip back to it when I need inspiration.

Nah, referring to an old good Novel doesn't make you old by default

[Murrdox]

You can pretty much take my money for this supplement / core book / expansion whatever it is now, I'll just tell you that.

There are a few things about Shadowrun in 2072 that makes it a better RPG than Shadowrun 1st edition however, and a return to 2050 brings back those old problems.

The main old problem is that Shadowrun 1st edition was really three games in one.  You had Astral, Cyber, and Meat worlds, and you often had individual players who did most of their stuff in one of those three worlds.  It created a lot of flow problems in playing sessions when I grew up playing our first games of Shadowrun.  I can still remember our first play session.  We were all having fun for about 45 minutes... and then the hacker wanted to do something.  Fast forward 2 hours of my friends and I sitting at the table for a half hour, then getting bored and playing Nintendo until the GM and the hacker finished... and we could finally start playing again.  Then about an hour later, the Shaman (me) wanted to do something!  Everyone got up and played Nintendo for another hour while we did Astral stuff!

I'm hoping the translation to 2050 keeps stuff like this in mind so that Shadowrun 2050 doesn't take a step backwards to being a less-accessible RPG.

[Mirikon]

To be fair, those kinds of problems are still inherent in the system these days, though the wireless matrix helps with that. But matrix and astral matters can slow the game down, if the DM doesn't have a good way of pacing things.

[Murrdox]

Oh they certainly do.  I think the changes in Magic give Mages more incentive in 4A to actually accompany the Runners in his Meat body and not simply hitchhike Astrally.  And hacker sessions, especially related to legwork, can still be a solo affair.  But it's much less painful than it was in 1-3rd E.  I'm just saying it's a concern.

On the bright side, they've figured out how to use 2XS to solve Erectile Dysfunction!

[Morg]

Will spell locks come back? Will we see the colour code system for the matrix, 2072 still has UV but where are my Red 12 and Blue 2 systems. Will we see some of the cyberware that was phased out come back? Will cyberware essance costs be higher?  When will I see this miracle in the making in stores?
