On Cyberware, Essays on cyberware and essence Options

[Kagetenshi]

In a similar vein to my now-long-defunct The Sixth World, what follows is a series of short semi-in-character essays discussing aspects of cyberware in the Sixth World. Although I'm going to attempt to mostly stick to established canon up through SR3 (less the liber non grata, IIRC roughly Shadows of Europe and later), I will in many cases assert additional facts beyond canon, and may contradict canon in some places.

The overall goal for these essays is to lay a groundwork on which to expand the cyberware rules, especially as regards cyberlimbs—making them not suck is a major goal of SR3R. Nevertheless, I expect it to still be useful to players of base SR3, and maybe even players of SR4.

Also, to some extent I'm writing these essays in order of inspiration, so there will probably be a lot of topic-jumping. At some point I hope to come back and put it all in a logical order, but until then you'll have to deal with it.

(For those keeping track, yes, I know I've been letting response time rules rot on the vine. They're still on the agenda.)
