Monthly Shadowrun Chat - April 19th (In Character!)
This should be cool.
Catalyst Game Labs will be holding our monthly SR Chat next Saturday, April 19. This month we’ll be doing something somewhat different from our regular Q&A with the developers and authors. Instead, to promote our upcoming campaign book Ghost Cartels, we’ll be giving fans the opportunity to participate in an “in character” chat with some of our regular JackPoint posters. In the guise of a Matrix discussion between our regular fictional characters, we’ll be offering fans teasers about the upcoming campaign and the events depicted therein.

This was my first SR developer chat - I actually booked the day off work a month in advance so I could participate (and worked a Sunday instead) and I did not enjoy it as much as I expected. With so many people talking, the chat scrolled so fast I couldn’t keep up and formulate a question at the same time, so typing made me fall behind and scramble to catch up.
I don’t think I learned much about the upcoming Ghost Cartels book, though I did leave early out of frustration and so may have missed some juicy tidbits afterwards. All the chat accomplished for me was confuse me about what the new drug Tempo really is/does.
Also, when I first intended to join in the chat, I had a specific question in mind… which I could not ask, as it had nothing to do with Ghost Cartels itself. I’m still looking forward to next month’s chat, with the hopes that the usual chat format of question / answer will be more enjoyable for me.
I also look forward to the chat transcript being posted on shadowrun4.com so I can see if I can make more sense of what was said and learn something more than I did “in the moment”.
Did everyone else enjoy it more than I did?
