Reading through Shadowbeat I was looking at ways to update it - some aspects are fine as is (the rules for music / reporting can be updated to 3rd ed easily), and I expect that a lot of the flavour has been updated in other source books (I definately recall someone making a reference to the Olympics - is this covered somewhere?) Has anything changed with the media (or sport) since 2053? Which books cover these sorts of things?

I'm also having trouble fitting the skills in (the old active / knowledge thing again). Does anyone have thoughts on those - I know singing and musical instruments have been discussed ad nauseum (IIRC the consensus is that those skills are knowledge - but does that change if the character is is a professional rocker?)

Thanks!
