You know, you might be better off actually e-mailing him rather than posting here on the off chance that he sees it. Just a thought.

Posted by: The Question Man Jul 6 2004, 11:33 PM

I would Lad, but none of his e-mail addresses seem to be operating.

Posted by: FlakJacket Jul 7 2004, 12:42 AM

The main address on his page is active since he still posts to the lists with it. Either spam filter ate it or he just hasn't gotten around to it yet. AFAIK though, Gurth doesn't really use the forums much.

I am reading through it right now, and it's really neat to see alot of these powers; some make sense in a why isn't it cannon!? kind of way, and some are just plain interesting I have noticed a problem, I believe. Page 12, improved reflexes, states that the power costs for lvl 1, 2, and 3 are 1, 4, and 6, respectively. I believe this was changed in 3rd ed to be 2, 3, and 5. I don't have my book handy (it's across the state), but you might want to double check that Other than that, looks like a great improvement over any other handybook I've seen

Real is 2,3,5, just like the essense costs for wired.

I believe since he put it on the web for free, it will never be official. SOmethign to do with the submission guidelines. But I guess that only matters if you are hopeing it becomes canon.

That's not true; material that has been available on the web has become official before; Linda Naughton's skill advancement rules were used in the SR Companion after then-developer Mike M. found the rules online, contacted Linda, and purchased the rights for them. However, the chances of a large work distributed widely online becoming part of the canon without major revisions is pretty unlikely.

That is why I qualified it with "I believe." I don't write, don't know the guidelines, and was only going off bits I heard here.

Posted by: Adam Jul 8 2004, 06:58 PM

And that's why I clarified things.

Posted by: The Question Man Jul 8 2004, 07:32 PM

Be nice Adam

Posted by: Adam Jul 8 2004, 07:37 PM

If clarifying things factually and politely isn't nice, I don't know what is.

Posted by: Frag-o Delux Jul 8 2004, 08:09 PM

I thought he was nice. There was no offense taken.

It is nice to know that stuff that was availible before could go on to be canon later.
