Probably; and there will probably also be Aspected Technomancers, Limited Technomancy (i.e. geas), Glitched, and other such qualities (as the rules for TMs seem to be mirroring those for magicians)

I can think of much scarier things to do with Pax than make her a technomancer.

Cell Phone Stalking Came to me from Bruce Schneier's blog about digital security of various natures. There's a nice summary in his blog post with a link to his source. |

Same story, different article/author. Thanks, I was getting annoyed by that.

I noticed that too... There are a few other errors, though, but nothing beyond a minor typo. |

I'd missed that part. Maybe we can get some clarification from Synner? Is that correct, or an error? |

I thought people only SURGEd into trolsl and orks, not dwarves and elves? So is this a spike dwarf? I mean, who wrote that part? Is there some way we can confirm that either way?

Maybe the 80 year old dwarf is an artifact from 3.0 when adults could goblinize into metahumans...and "otaku" meant "hacker" instead of "fanboy". It still makes me laugh whenever I see that.

Adults could never goblinze into dwarves or elves... |

Let us clarify: you are always born an elf or a dwarf, you always goblinize into an ork or a troll.

Spike Dwarve/Elf, people born shortly before the 6th world when the mana level wasn't supposed to be high enough to allow it (but some appeared anyway.)

20 years is a big spike. Just how early did spike babies start occuring in the SR timeline?
