Chapter1_Issue 006

BAM! Just when you'd lost all hopes, Senretsu blasts his fat satisfying load of creamy shadowrun goodness in your mouth and saves the world again!
You got that fucking right, I'm back, and this issue took a ridiculous amount of time to finish, but well worth the wait non? Tell me what you think about the new bordering. I find it gives this chaotic slab of pixelmeat a little more cohesion. But its what the consumer wants in the end that sells the product.
Either way, this issue introduces Gabes fixer Hugo, the hot-pink-haired high class Menthol-Weed smoking elf. Responsible for finding the team it's necessary equipment, work and taking a cut from the final salvage of all business deals. Can't survive on the streets without one Chummer. Enjoy, and I'll try be back with a new issue soon!

Oh, and Deckers, Riggers, Street Samurai and various other "Classes" are explained somewhat vaguely in the title page comic. Shadowrun doesn't actually have Classes, just a large customizability that tends to work better when you lump your skills towards one particular profession. Hence why... Well, you haven't actually seen everything Gabe & Vinnie are capable of, so I'll leave it at that. =P

Well, the cityspeak (As it's affectionately become known as) was something that had life only up until 3.0, so yes, it is somewhat intentionally there only for the oldschool players, but it's also meant to represent how far slang and language have gone in the future. Words like "Fuck" are purely medieval in the Shadowrun age. And now, for a quick translation! Drek = Shit, Frag = Fuck, Slitch = Duh, Ding = Damn, Chummer = Friend, Nutrasoy = Vitamin Goo, like super-porridge for the super-poor, Nuyen = The newage currency, Goose = Slang for "Prostitute" or "Hooker", or at the least "Hoodrat". Hope that helps, I enjoy your readership all!

Heck Yeah. Its great. Although... Could you put some shadowrun translations in the author notes? (there because they too distracting in the comic...)) So those of us will only the knowledge that shadowrun is freaking awesome, can understand it better? Or is the slight confusion there for effect?
