NEgative essence, are you serious?

That sounds supsiciously like the guy in Elven Fire who was causing all
the trouble. The one who's cyber (though mostly useless) added up to
more tha the amount of essence he'd spent.

Are we talking full on borgs like those from the SR book featuring Kham?
Scary stuff?

I can see that this is going ot be one of those books that I try not to
let my players see until they learn about it themselves and ask for it.

Stuff negative essence for a PC lark. ;-)

As serious as I can be. I asked Mike, and I distinctly recall him stating
in his reply that the book will deal with negative essences.

I'm really not sure. Reportedly, yes; definitely, no. I know that it will
supply rules for neg. essence, but I'm not sure if they'll be calling
them "cyborgs" (though that seems to be the most accurate name). Maybe
"street toasters" or "cyber samurai".... We'll find out in a couple of
months.

They were called Hellions in Never Trust an Elf. Probablely just keep
that name, sounds as scary as they are.
