Well, maybe that "kid" is no kid. Ever think of that??? Hell, he could be any number of spirit types. He could be a young great dragon. He could even be a SURGE csse with REALLY good regeneration abilities. (Of course, that would mean he probably IS a akid, so just forget I brought that up ;))

Well, if the legends saying so are true,  then  the True Emperor really is a descendant of the Sun Kami, Amaterasu. As I recall, Sun Spirits are also known as Salamanders, and are a form of Nature Spirit, then perhaps young Emperor Yasuhiko is actually a very powerful summoner or has the aid of a very powerful Salamander free-spirit type protecting him? After all, Salamanders do have the Guard power, and I'd say a volcanic eruption is a very potent form of the Accident spirit power.

Kind of makes you want to talk to someone who's been close to the little tyke doesn't it?? Does anyone know if he came to power before the D.C. rift blew it's top and spit out Ghostwalker???

Probably has more to do with the Comet and the mana-spike it brought with it.

Is the Dunkelzhan rift still around after Ghostwalker comes through it? Didn't it get smaller or bigger or something?

It became more stable, but it is still there. But the thing is, all kinds of unique spirit types came through. Sheim are the most well-known, but there were all kinds of nasties that came out that never got acounted for.

I thought they traced Imps re-emerging from the DC Rift.

Probably did, but what else got out during the initial outbreak that never got catalogued or even noticed. How many really wierd spirit types are roaming around our neck of the woods now???

Here is a great entrance for your Cthulhu-type critters, Captain North.

If horrors got out, I'm going to go have a ad night followed with a .45 chaser

Yeah, but you know Retread would be jumping for joy if the ever brought some ED stuff into SR and actually CALLED it by its ED name.  ;)

Yeha, but if they didn't, I think Retread would do a little jig. And I think for once, I would have to join him. That would be pretty cool.

I don't think the guys doing development now are big ED fans... I think they're busy trying to make Shadowrun more 'modern'

More "modern" and less fun. I guess that happens when you get second and third generation game designers working in a pre-established setting. Oh well, I can always get old modules.. :'(
