I'm shooting to have a "fix" on the magical talents in the Big Book O' Magic
(whatever it ends up being called) sometime next year, if possible. It's one
of a long list of things to fix/update in the SR magic system.

Am I to believe that there will be a 3rd edition of
shadowrun out soon.

If so then is it going to be a complete revamp of the rules
of just a restructuring of the old rules. e.g. The book
contains the magical rules from awakenings,the matrix rules
from VR2, and the rigging rules from R2

Yup.
In fact, you just missed your chance to indicater your wants and don't wants
in the thing...

(Steve asked us to enlighen him with our infinite wisdom on certain
points...)

He says it's going to be more of a clarification and "out with the old, in
with the new" type thing. They'll dump the old rules on matrix and decking,
replacing them with the core rules from VR2 and RBB2, and clarify a LOT of
points that've been plaguing shadowrn for ages, like can to ground through
woodchucks.....

Errr.... Sorry, little brainstorm there, mixing up two of the most hated
threads in shadowrn.....
