Some kinda gun book pdf thing out. Anyone give a fuck?

Apparently they are doing the Street Samurai Catalog thing again. Yay. My enthusiasm knows no bounds.

Sorry, my give a fuck has run out. I am literally in Asamando. But making gun lists is not super hard, so I'm not surprised they are attempting to squeeze five dollars or whatever out of a non-official pdf.

Was. Was the best Shadowrun resource site in the world. Now it is down.

Now it's just...

...Ancient History.

Anyway, it's still there in the Way Back Machine.

The preview was mucho lame. It's a bunch of old crappy guns that don't work properly with modern electronics. Yah, because i really need MAC-10s and M-16s in my game. Yawn. The full book is more of the same. There's a new assault cannon and an assault rifle that aren't old shit, but nothing that gave me a boner.

A Pity about the Ancient Files

Mallory's Divinations
Quentin Mallory was a young, undeniably brilliant theoretical thaumaturgist of the Pythagorean school, who effortlessly mastered the intricacies of magical mathematics and post-quantum physics. Mallory's doctoral theses for MIT&T set a record as the move thought-provoking, ground breaking, and utterly useless thaumaturgical text to ever be written. In exceedingly bad taste, Mallory went on to have the text mass-produced and sold as an advanced textbook on chronothaumaturgical mathematics and physics.

Mallory spends an incredible 1,917 pages proving, through precise and mind-bending multi-dimensional mystical mathematical formulae that sorcery as we know it cannot warp time or space. To compound the utter uslessness of this gargantuan paperweight, described by many students as "Spinecrusher, Breaker of Souls," it concludes with a motley of the most inane and ill-conceived magics ever invented. Most infuriatingly, according to Mallory's arcane computations, each of them should work perfectly.

These spells (all at Force 2) include:
align chronometer
analyze black hole
analyze chronothaumturgy
analyze wormhole
detect alternate timeline
detect space/time fold
detect teleportation
detect time travel
detect wormhole
measure speed of light

Many students suspect professors assign this book to encourage them to develop and utilize levitate spells, or for basic exercise.

Publisher: MIT&T Press
Price: 300
Availability: 4/24 hours

Humor such as this is needed

I'll try and save it all fromt he way back machine . .

Really? Like they seriously stat out M-16s and MAC-10s?

That's sad.

Still, I'm enjoying the short stories. Are you planning to get involved with publishing Cthulhu stuff perhaps?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Jun 14, 2011 8:19 pm

No outright plans on it. The Unspeakable Oath doesn't need any of my stuff, and the anthologies pay for shit...and the only thing worse than pumping out a crap Mythos story is to pump out a good Mythos story and get paid shit for it.

Next book: Melee weapons of the ages! Finally get a statted out rock!

fectin · Post by **fectin** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 12:49 pm

Think that they could sell a book of rocks? Like, a list of different sized rocks with slightly different stats?

Fuchs · Post by **Fuchs** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 12:59 pm

The remaining fans of CGL (which fortunately are not equal to all the remaining fans of Shadowrun) would probably buy that, yes.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 1:04 pm

The rest is probably going to pirate it . .
Wonder how the German Division would improve on that though . .
Probably some stones that can only be found in the ADL *snickers*

That's kind of heartbreaking. I loved that site. Is there anything anyone can do to convince you to reconsider?

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:00 pm

He made an archive and put it up on rapidshare for those who want it.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 7:09 pm

Well, technically I gave it to someone else and they posted it, but more or less.
