Here's a challenge for those creative souls out there ...

Try and come up with the game effects for chipping, be it Dreamchips,
2XS, *whatever*. I thought that details for them would come out in
Shadowbeat (chipping also being a recreational activity), but from
what I saw, it wasn't in there (although I might be wrong -- I only
took a glance through it ...) Although I like the concept of trying
to come up with game stats for movie/media stuff, I've gotta agree with
the Elder Dan when he said that too much of this copying drek is really
grating on one's nerves.

Nonetheless, I've been waiting for a sourcebook to detail chipping in
game terms, but nothing's come out yet, and since I'm too busy to work
on it myself (well, actually, I'm too LAZY to do it), I thought I
might issue a challenge.

PS: Shadowbeat is GREAT !! I just can't wait to get my physical adept
into a game of Urban Brawl, now ...
