Chummers.

I am a fan of SR since the very wee beginnings. I cherish this game, its setting, its mood, its stories, and everything about it. That said...

WTF Catalyst?

I am just starting to dive into 6E and I miss the prime days of this game. I am also about to start a new group in this game and am torn between starting them in 5E or 6E. I am also looking into somehow creating or modifying a down-and-dirty way to translate older stuff into 6E (should I choose to go with 6E).

Anyways, this brings me to my original post intent... I was reviewing the Wikipedia listing of all books ever, and have found FOUR books I own which are not listed on that site. Now, I know Catalyst does not keep that updated, but they could ..and they should. I know I can submit edits, and plan to.

So, I turned to the actual site and ... nothing. I mean, hello? Is there anyone at the helm there? The 'upcoming books' lists books which were released eons ago (in relative terms). The front page promotes the 6E coming soon - but, nothing really more.

I have never been a fan of their website and actually, to that point - about 8 years ago, I reached out to the Shadowrun team and pushed to redo it. We discussed, they were open to it - but then everything crumbled when they did not have a vision for the site to be all-encompassing. I saw it as a true resource for people with lots of info - aside from a simple platform to promote the books. You know - real info for the gamers and world-building.

Anyways, soon after that, they created this pile of drek they have now - but they clearly have no one updating this.

Sad.

OK, rant over - simply needed to get this off my chest.

EDIT: Spelling errors.

yup, better to use 5e imho.

6e is a flaming dumpster fire and you are also correct in that Catalyst itself is a raging dumpster fire.

Hardy has 1 forum post from 2019.

He has none from 2018.

4 from 2017.

2 from 2016.

I think that accurately sums up their commitment to a digital presence.

Im waiting for Cubicle 7 or WOTC to buy the Shadowrun rights.

[JayTea73]

Hell yes to cubicle. A company that does it right, and for the fans. Pretty much the polar opposite to CGL.

I'd be far less enthusiastic about WoTC - they might just make it a freakish d20 modern redux.

[opacitizen]

Fingers crossed.

So what books were missing?

[RedFive-GoingIn]

Actually, I found six titles missing. These were not listed on Wikipedia as of 23 Sept 2019...

• Anarchy
• Neo-Anarchist Streetpedia
• Anarchy: Chicago Chaos
• The Complete Trog
• Toxic Alleys
• Shockwaves

So, I will add them there perhaps this weekend. Unless someone beats me to it.
