I *feel* like 53 sometimes...

*ducks into RPG-book storage* Yes, you're right... I hadn't noticed :/

The reason I wrote it as a film script is because I suck at writing up
descriptions of things like you see in novels, metaphors, and all that
sort of thing... If someone is willing to turn it into a regular piece of
fiction, go ahead and post it here :)

Maybe some kinds of decker archetypes could be included, from very simple
to net-god like was done in one of the NAGEEs for the SR2 decking rules.
Apart from that, some kind of organization sounds OK to me.

OK, that is exactly what I need. I can make up the SWAT thing myself as
soon as I have an idea of the kind of money regular cops get paid.

I'm glad you got this show back on the right track :)

I would also be able to create some hormones/drugs/etc, but as far as
writing an adventure goes...I tend to get good ideas and then get bogged
down in working them out.
