There are many different ways you can play your game. The two largest distincting lines are mana- vs cyberpunk and prime- vs gutterrunners. I'm getting increasingly frustrated by my own dissociation with most others on this board regarding game-style. Perhaps I don't get it. Perhaps I'm missing something. Or perhaps I'm merely dissociated from a vocal minority.

I just want to be well-liked! ;) (And know how you guys do it.)
