Tom told us [local con] earlier this year that the new cybertech book would
cover negative essence - a mix of magic & tech according to the ex-DLOH.
Other tidbits from my handwritten notes: attachment syndrome, dermal
sheathing, delta-grade cyberware. Release date was fuzzy. Terry

Can you say "MUNCH-KIN"?

(I don't mind munchkins BTW. If the players can have it, the NPCs can have
