While reading about 4e in general, I stumbled on the "Ends of the Matrix" an alternate Matrix rule system that looks & feels more streamlined.
What is Dumpshock' stance on this unofficial supplement? |

Use it if you love brainhacking. Otherwise, it's a bit better than the standard SR4 system. At least it has a sound mathematical base becase Trollman (the author) knew maths.

From what I have garnered from old threads found in this forum and the one over at Catalyst, I see most hardcore gamers don't seem too keen on brainhacking, it doesn't seem to "fit" the Shadowrun mentality.
Well back to reading my core rulebook |

....still have no idea why people keep harping about brainhacks, since it technically wouldn't be feasible right now in SR, unless if someone just HAPPENS to know that cyberbrains will be introduced soon.....

Tasti, if you had actually read the rules set you'd know what I'm talking about.
Thing is, Trollman decided to make decking with just your brain viable again (it was in SR1). |

1.) I have no idea who Trollman is (new here, remember?)
2.) What, in the vanilla SR4a rules? If so, there is nothing that indicates brain-hacking. Source please, other wise I have no reason to believe you. |

The topic right now is Trollman's alternative Matrix rules, see post #26. Being new is one thing, not reading what you reply to and then complaining about posters 'harping' about the current topic is something else.

...and nothing about post #26 hinted that Trollman was the author of said rules. At all. And there was no way that I could have inferred that.
Last I checked, I'm not psychic. |

Last I checked, I'm not psychic. Well, if you read the post after #26, you'd see hermit attributing it to Mr Trollman. Last I checked, you could have simply scrolled down and read. |

*blinks*
Da hell did I miss that? (well, it's what I get for trying to do work AND type on a forum) *quickly looks it up* Oh...THAT ruleset...the one that reeked of so much bitterness that I actively decided to avoid it entirely. *grumble* |

Sorry if I was a bit harsh, It was 5 o'clock and my allergy was keeping me up, that makes me grumpy. Yes, that rules set. And uhm. That's Trollman for you. He's very angry about a lot of things Shadowrun for a lot of reasons. Still, he's a pretty good rules designer.
