I still cling to the naive hope that I'm the youngest one here, at 20.

Yeah, but if you think that means that Vladimir Putin won't roll an armored column all up in their shit and wreck their faces if they start getting notions of being beyond the government and openly flaunting it, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. |

(I'm missing the SR2 BBB.).I'm a little rusty with them as I've only played ONCE, and only know them academically, but I do know them OK. |

For me, the easiest way to wrap my head around the SR4A decking rules (and the same goes for earlier editions, now that I think about it) was to do it. Not to read the book, or even the chapter, cover to cover, but to make myself sit down and say "Okay, fuck it. I'm...I'm logging on, I guess? Okay, how do I log on." And then finding it all, one step at a time, using a sample character or an archetype or whatever. Trying to understand it by reading the rules never, ever, worked for me (which isn't true of most other systems, for some reason, combat, magic, whatever, I always kind of "got it" just by reading over it), the only way I could grok the Matrix stuff was to roll it out.

You got it. I pulled out the dice and just did it for fun. All alone. In the dark.
No, no, that's fine, you're all busy and far away and other important things... |
