Greetings, chummers! This is Shadowspawn from Whitman College with a probably
really stupid question, but I haven't really been using the SRII system very
long. A friend of mine is creating a decker, but neither of us can find any
information in the book about the programs. For instance, is the rating of the
program limited by the deck itself or the amounts of active and storage memory?
Also, I would appreciate some hints and/or tips for GMing. I'm getting together
some runners from my dorm, and it looks like I am going to be in charge of
controlling the runs. One last thing-I'm trying to find a guy that goes (or
used to go) to Rice University. I played SR with one of his friends, Mason
Hart, over the summer. The reason I needed to contact either of them is because
they have some newly developed IC programs and stuff on computer disk that I
have lost and would like back. If anyone knows information about the
whereabouts of Mason or the mysterious Rice Runner, please let me know. I had
some other questions, but I can't remember them right now. Oh well, it's back
to the shadows I go. TTFN (Ta Ta For Now...)
