a PDF reader, AKA a laptop computer with adobe reader installed in it, should be available for under $1,000 in many places, i would think...

The EEE PC, due out around August some time.
Just like Augmentation =) But seriously, I use PalmPDF (freeware PDF reader) on my Palm TX (<$200) and it works just fine. I have MitS, the GM Screen, and the Critters book on there. |

My Gateway laptop I bought about four months ago was only $800 at BestBuy.
1518 hours, Eastern standard. Augmentation still unavailable. |

Haha. Ouch. :D
I worked in a print shop for a while at one point. When my oldest FASA copy of SR3 started to fall apart, I had them drill it for a 3 ring binder. Always regretted not doing a different binding. Oh well, that printing is old and outdated and I have others now. |

Personally I'm not expecting the PDF to be up until Friday evening, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong on this. ;)

Yea, I really enjoy my copy of emergance I did in spiral. I did SM in a 3 hole punch and put it in a sort of report cover and I regret that... I'll probably reprint it and put it in a spiral binding soon.
Combs are for suckas... |

So everyone's waiting for it on BattleShop then? I wonder if they're doing a combo sale too.

Anyone know going rates at Office Depot/Kinkos for printing out such a file? I've got access to a binder(not sure how to work it, but I can find the manual on the internet if I need to) but I need to know how much printing it will cost to see if it's worth it.

Still, I now have another thing to distract me from work! |

I just want to say that after a quick look at the new rules, Augmentation has changed cyberlimbs in pretty much every way I was planning on houseruling. Great job on it. I apologize for being critical all the time and never complimenting the good stuff, but this defintely deserves some applause so far. :)
Increases to starting attributes, extra capacity, customization options... even god damn "overclocking" as an optional rule. <swoons> |

Thank you.
I know many people still won't be satisfied, but I am quite pleased with the way those rules came out. Customized cyberlimbs, the bulk modification, modular limbs, and the cybersuite rules should make cyberlimbs more attractive... and guess what? Fully compatible with the core rules! The "redlining" rule will even let you punch through a wall once in a while. Enjoy. [Sits back and waits till they get to the cyborg rules and start breaking out the pitchforks and torches] |

Looks like they're just rules for putting a rigger's brain in a drone. Nothing wrong with that as it's pretty much what every house rule I've ever seen on the subject ended up doing, this just makes it "official." I still don't see very many players going that route, though, and those who wanted to just jury-rigged some rules together to do so. Nothing to really flame about, though using the term "cyborg" and the rules that were promised therein was misleading. Cyberware suites are more in line to what people were expecting, I think... and surprise, there's rules for those, too! (Though no examples of a "cyborg suite" after a quick flip-through. Probably the only folly.) I do dig the slang term for cyborgs, though. :D Did find my first major beef, though. No index. :'( EDIT: Though though though. Wanted to add a few more since I don't think I used the word enough in this post. This post has been edited by Doctor Funkenstein: Jul 27 2007, 01:22 AM |

Damn the cyberlimbs look cool, actually make me think about making a character with a cyberlimb or two.
I have had to stop reading though owing to you guys inconsiderately releasing this while I still have 5 hours left at work today =P It's going to make it that much harder to keep gas transfers in my head when there is the potential for reading about shiny toys for my characters. |

Indices rarely appear in PDF versions of things because they can be searched by word inherently from Acrobat.
