Stahlseele - have you been a bad person?

Don't follow the official forums but saw a link to the thread and thought I'd see what was being said there...

Useful post, I thought. (Not sarcastic)

K.

Here's the two things you need to know about the official SR forums: Link 1 - My former "friends" have a secret subforum on the official forums where they created a thread specifically to bitch about my three posts . Link 2 - These same people are complete hypocritical douche bags - and t...

This is probably a pretty good time to say "Dragon cock? I walk." Well, in her case it'd probably be walk funny . . :D I'm barely checking in on this stuff now, but glad I caught that comment. It seems like nothing much has happened since I quit Shadowrun. There was a discussion about the...

While IMR's undoubtedly a clusterfuck, it's also more opaque than ever now that most of the staff and writers who've got problems with LLC and/or the generally borked management have walked. Frank was spot on about financial trouble and mismanagement when he first went public, but pretty much every...

Lets look at your spin, shall we? CGL was not "forced" to pay creditors, they voluntarily settled out of court. I think it's fair to say that most people agree that if legal action is taken against a company to get the money out of them and in response to that legal action the company pay...

Let's put it this way: when the license expired IMR owed Topps about $150k. Wow. To what degree is that substantiated and when was this known? If I had known (if this is the case) that CGL owed Topps that much money, then I would have been a lot more doubtful about Frank's claims that Topps would y...

You don't really know that. The thing is, there is literally nothing in the universe more annoying to me than someone using "God" as a reason for anything. And I'm the guy who gets mad about everything. Well I can't say that it's universal, but the point I'm making is that when someone tr...

Randall apparently said that at an owner's meeting. What do you mean "Owners Meeting"? I thought we'd pretty much established that the Coleman's own the whole kit and kaboodle. If there was an "Owners Meeting" and people were invited to it wouldn't that legally imply that they w...

Randall Bills has certainly permanently lost my trust. The moment someone says that they are putting religion before justice, integrity, and financial rectitude they have thoroughly painted themselves with the irrationality brush. They literally cannot be trusted , because they have said that the v...

Yoink to the power of yoink. Those maps/breakdowns are excellently detailed and the lone star station seems like an incredibly likely location to come up and will be invaluable for any future Shadowrun campaigns I run after my current one, which is winding down to its final adventure. Thanks for 'e...

500 sales earns you the same amount of money whether zero people or 5000 people pirated it. The point which I shouldn't have to make is that if of those 5000 people pirating 2% would have bought it, that's 100 sales piracy has cost you. I sense a quibble about my arbitrary 2% figure coming, so I'll...

200 pages can hold more than five adventures. If you're actually talking pages and not sides (just to clarify this because of the maths), Are you seriously suggesting that Wesley meant 200 pieces of paper and thus 400 pages? I was. Language difficulty. I'm used to "pages" meaning actual s...

You are just being retarded now. You know, I'm going to disagree with you there, Frank. Mounted police are an anachronism even today. They have some limited utility for crowd control when you know in advance that you're going to need some and can show up with them. But primarily the purpose of moun...

Knasser: Don't you owe me a PACKS review? Somebody does. Yes, Emergence was a small disaster. I completely agree. More than offset by your many successes, AH. I do owe you a PACKS review. I'll see what I can do about that. I haven't done anything Shadowrun since my game collapsed and I found out th...

Like Jay I heard the same "we don't do this because they don't sell" line. But I never saw any numbers to prove or disprove the idea. It may very well be that the days of the 32-page adventure book are gone... though the four-part Dawn of the Artifacts clearly contradicts that. But whatev...

On the Salt Lake City mana ebb: To be honest, I have no idea. I don't even recall writing those two shadowtalk comments. It's entirely possible I didn't write them, because Davidson Cole did add some writing to that chapter. Not that I'm pinning it on him, because that was a long time ago and I jus...

There really isn't anything wrong with cops running around on unicorns. While the SR unicorn specifically is allergic to cities and that wouldn't work, it is entirely reasonable for someone to have a griffin mount or something similar. It is entirely unreasonable to have cops riding around on Unico...

The problem with the party of monsters syndrome is not that it's hard to find ways to make a drake or a spirit or an AI a runner. After all, it's no harder than the way you have to find justifications for a super-employable magician a runner. The problem is the ever-present risk of Realism Collapse....

Anyway on a more serious note I am pretty informed about the situation now, I think. at least as much as I can be with this forum thread being my main source of information as opposed to actually working with/for these people I wouldn't use this thread as your main source of information. I would re...

Well, Tarharqa, your extended explanations of what I said using different words, emphasis and context... They're one of the most contrived set of misintrepations I've seen in years. I have a slightly higher opinion of people's mental faculties than you do apparently, in that I don't think anyone nee...

@knasser: Well hello there! I did not know you posted here. I recently ran your Carnival adventure for my PCs and they really dug it. I took some fairly extensive liberties, turning it into more of a campaign motif than a single adventure, and I actually combined it with the original 1E Harlequin m...

But I ultimately cannot take a side (either side) because ultimately I was not there. In before Godwin? Not that I'm forcing you to take a side, it's just that "I was not there" is a terrible reason to not take a side. If he's saying he doesn't know enough about what happened to jump in a...

Would it break people's hearts to hear that Shadowrun somehow managed to be the 4th bestselling RPG of Q2 2010 (according to ICV2 - coming behind D&D, Pathfinder, and Warhammer FRPG?) http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/18045.html Not really. Shadowrun's been primarily written by the people who h...

Link . </pimp> This went live three days ago? How does it already have 118 threads / 970 posts? I notice some common names. It was a full time job keeping track of just activity on Dumpshock. I can't see how many people will manage a dual-presence, so are people migrating? I noticed at least one mo...

You lied and misrepresented in the "and by extension would" part, as wall as the "something he welcomed them to try Having listened to the podcast, Frank's reading of it may be accurate, but can't be shown to be accurate. Randall Bills put it forward in a casual conversation sort of ...
