I really REALLY hope none of these books will go the "way of the Cannon Companion" (Augmentation being in the greatest danger). That being: filled with so much over-powering, game-unbalancing, muncher drool-inducing material that I have to disallow major sections. Like my personal favorite: anti-VEHICLE PISTOL rounds.... No....

Unfortunately, there's money in appealing to the munchkins. They'll buy the books that have the most overpowering crap. |

sigh... I'll get my "sharpie" ready to ink out a bunch of lines/paragraphs/pages/chapters then. SR4 was nice while it was "balanced".
I shouldn't complain too much. Every RPG I know fails victim to this sort of thing. Us RPG-ers are always asking for new "cool" material, and game-unbalancing inevitably results as the "rules lawyers" find the loopholes. |

Tell the players that they're allowed to have anything in the basic book, but stuff in expansions appear only at GM whim.

I just tell em, you can get anything you can, and the corps can get it far easier and at a cheaper cost.

I guess I have to wait until 2007 for the Unwired book I've been looking for...

True dat. Matrix stuff needs some clarification (or at least, more examples) than probably anything else right now. |

Oh, hmm... I thought I posted here, but I guess not. Anyway, like I was telling someone last night, I give it 2:1 odds that there will be bracer tech in Augmentations or Arsenal.

What do you mean by "bracer tech"?

Degenesis... nice.
If you are interested, and don't mind reading german... try the official page - it features the whole core book for download... well, in german. ;) |

And it's a very fine RPG, too. :)
I don't like the character generation very much, but the gaming-world and the art are fantastic... :) Greetings, Nyx |

Remind me to A) not buy NuCybe for my sexual organs and, failing that, B) never remove it unless I'm looking for my privates to experience "as much bloodloss and pain as a skinned knee."

Bio-drones? Where did you guys see that? And let's just hope that Runner Havens does a better job describing Seattle than the New Seattle Sourcebook did. I find myself referring back to the Seattle Sourcebook evertime I want detailed information, or even (gasp) a semi-detailed map of one of the districts. |

It mentioned Bio-drones on the very last line of the Augmentation book.
I thought the New Seattle sourcebook was excellent. My only "knock" was that it included more detail than I could remember. I guess my players and I don't put as much stock in maps and the physical placement of things in the city. Do your games really require that level of detail? (You took a Left on Elm Street? WRONG!) |

I'm envisoning creepily moist and tentacled things scrabbling around with cybernetic control overrides in their strange genetically-engineered brains. The kind of rigger that wants to habitually use these freakish aberrations scares me. Either that, or they're talking about slapping control overrides in pre-existing beasts so people can finally fulfill their dreams of remote-piloted hellhounds and so on. Or, more likely, remote-piloted people. That probably scares me more. |

I'm more thinking Halberstam's stuff, though you can read it either way. Creepy enough whichever way it turns out.

Human "zombies" who explode in a mist cloud of toxin-infected blood and cutter nanites when touched. Oh, wait. No, that's just something that was created for the arc on SL.
So, Snake-Eyes? |
