I think you've hit the nail on the head with that comment, Adam. I know
personally that if I want to play a game with outrageous and interesting
technology, I'd probably slide over to Paranoia, or Tales From The Floating
Vagabond (which I also play. :). Stretching the boundaries of SR is okay,
but when someone posts something that leaps over the boundaries, people tend
to knock it back.

Speaking of TFTFV, if people think that throwing recently severed flesh at
an astral being should hurt it (as there's the willpower of the thrower
behind it), how about Projectile Vomiting (points awarded for accuracy, of
course)?

(I've been thinking about that comparison since the original
"Chuck-Launcher" post was sent. Sorry for disturbing your day).

Oh well, at least the post spawned an interesting debate on how regeneration
could work.
