SHADOWRUN UNIVERSE AND RPG CONTINUE ON!
CHICAGO, IL-- and Fantasy Productions of Germany announce that the
popular world of Shadowrun will continue to be published. The game will
go forward under the direction of Jordan Weisman, the co-creator of the
Shadowrun universe; supervised by Mike Mulvihill, the long-time

Productions, the German publisher of Shadowrun. Fantasy Productions

and has now committed to publish new material in both German and
English.

what would become of Shadowrun. Wešre excited that we were able to
continue the line so quickly."

On Thursday, 15-Feb-01 19:40:54 EST, Dice Junky said- SFR Acquires Dragon Dice
SFR, Inc. has purchased the rights for the collectable dice game Dragon
Dice from Wizards of the Coast. This acquisition includes all intellectual
properties, remaining inventory, and artwork.
Production of Dragon Dice, which was voted "Adventure Game of the
Year" by Games Magazine in 1995, was put on hold when Wizards of the
Coast acquired the game in 1998.
"This is a win-win situation for Wizards of the Coast, SFR, and fans of
the Dragon Dice game", said Dave Papay, Vice President of SFR. "It
allows Wizards (of the Coast), to focus on their core product lines, and
gives SFR the opportunity to concentrate on the further development of
the (Dragon Dice) game."
SFR plans to resume development of the Dragon Dice game with an
initial release of three new, limited edition "Dragonkin Champion" dice in
the first quarter of 2001. This will be followed by a major game
expansion called "Treefolk" in the summer of 2001. Other products are
planned for subsequent release, including the long-awaited "Champions"
and "Unearthly" expansions.

On Monday, 05-Feb-01 18:57:12 EST, Steve D. said- Okay, so next week's alleged installment is Netrunner. The good news is that I have a box of unopened starters, so if you don't have any Netrunner, but would like to play, it's completely possible. You can even keep the starter (yes, that's right, I got a box of 6 starters for $2.00).
On Monday, 05-Feb-01 08:10:01 EST, Steve D said- Ok, so maybe this whole blow the dust off thing wasn't such a great idea. At any rate, there being only one person who even mentioned magic (and he said no) I guess this week is off too.
On Monday, 29-Jan-01 16:43:06 EST, Dave said- If I can get anywhere with my cheesy access database today, I'm up for some INWO tonight...
I'll look for some input/updates later today.
On Monday, 29-Jan-01 00:07:49 EST, Steve said- Ok, so I guess it's time to call no-joy on INWO for tomorrow. Anyone else have a suggestion?
On Monday, 22-Jan-01 10:07:19 EST, Lou said- Since I have school on Monday's don't plan for me to make any of the games.
On Sunday, 21-Jan-01 20:53:41 EST, Steve D. said- Is anyone up for Rage tomorrow or should we make the call now to skip or change games?
On Tuesday, 16-Jan-01 17:18:13 EST, Tim said- I did want to play though. It just did not work out that way.
On Tuesday, 16-Jan-01 17:14:00 EST, Tim said- Sorry I could not make it. I got a new fridge and stove and the truck(my fathers) and my help(my brothers) were late showing up to help me get them so instead of doing it at 5:30 like we planned we did not get to do it untill 9:00 or 9:30.
On Monday, 15-Jan-01 20:56:51 EST, Steve D. said- As I sit here by myself, a new Dust Bedevilled rule occurs to me. From now on, I'm going to suggest that if you ARE playing that week's game, you say so by Sunday, the night before. If we don't get a reasonable number of players (at least three, depending on the game), then I say we cancel or change, probably cancel.
If there is one or more game currently on the list that you don't plan to show up for, it might be a good idea to say so - that way if there aren't going to be enough players, we can change games now, rather than play nothing.
On Monday, 15-Jan-01 15:10:52 EST, Lou said- I doesn't look like I'm going to be able to play tonight. Sorry.
On Monday, 15-Jan-01 14:57:23 EST, Steve D. said- Okay, so based on last night's discussion, it looks like Dragon Dice Risk is the winner. Rules are online as best as I remember them. If you're looking to borrow dice, I *might* be able to loan you a few dozen.
On Wednesday, 10-Jan-01 17:02:04 EST, Tim said- I say we play Dragon Dice Risk tonight. Any takers?
On Tuesday, 09-Jan-01 08:43:11 EST, Steve said- Now the important question: Who's up for Dragon Dice and do we want to play straight or DD Risk? How many points if we play the straight version?
On Tuesday, 09-Jan-01 08:36:51 EST, Steve said- Played Diskwars last night. The scenario was called "Rescue the Princess" or something like that. Tim played Knights who had to get to the princess before my Orcs. Dave played the Mahkim and just wanted all of us the hell out of his swamp so he could kill the girl and get it over with.
The game was mostly decided on the first round when I used Twister1 to send most of the powerful units on my side of the board over to Tim's side of the board, leaving me with mostly weaker units to contend with.
Tim's army of wardogs didn't do very well against the Mahkim and Dave used several Fireballs and Powerballs to good effect against my poor orcs, but in the end the Familiar-Zip combo proved very powerful and I was able to grab the girl and make a run for it, using a half-orc and a bit more cheese to end the game.
- Twister is one of those things where everyone else's drop is cheesy, my drop was no exception.
