I left it openended to see what people would read into it. My thoughts were
to write a supplement regarding roleplaying from 1996-2040 or so. There
would be a significant reduction in the technology, the power of the
megacorps and magic. The range of roleplaying could go from working for the
government trying to slow the growth of these upstart corps or Native
Americans, to trying to expand the influence of your corp while sabotaging
the others (and the government). In addition, you have a lack of organized
practices of magic, and some major areas of "history" like the food riots,
the night of rage, and the Great Ghost Dance.
Something to think about while we work on our current projects.
Gurth, has anyone written up rules about players getting into the underworld
activities?

I've got a couple of ideas about the matrix that might work well for the
underworld, but I'm not sure yet. If anyone has any ideas please post them.
I'm considereing writing up a group of geeks that hack into systems to get
them to do the work, but have no real power themselves.
Also, has magic been included in this supplement? I don't have any specific
ideas, but it would be a shame if magic were left out of the underworld.
