Yeah I know BC is old hat but I just finished reading Burning Bright
and I realized how really cool Chicago has become... Question:
is it just me or have bugs been boosted since Euphoria Queen?

Second I see that there is a new Cyber book out.. Has anyone seen it
and also does anyone know of SR sticking in Boomers (see Bubblegum Crisis and
Bubblegum Crash series.. Anime..Japanese)?

Also some of my players want to get some pleasure enhancing cyberware..
Like hydrolic jacks and vibro units.. does anyone have a list of such
fun things and their prices?... kinky..

There are lots ok versions on the bugs, as FASA say they keep
changing them to keep players guessing as to what they are facing.
The nastiest version i have seen are in 'Double Exposure' where they
have the 'Bug City' powers plus protection vs mana spells e.t.c.

What?
We are expecting the Corporate Security guidebook this week ( i
suspect that is now out in the USA), i thought the next cyberbook
would be a while? query which book do you mean?

There are conversions of the cyberpunk chrome books 1 & 2 on the web,
if you can access those don't know if that will help as they are
pretty general.

As far as 'boomers' go, I don't think SR is ever going to
do something along those lines. Boomers have need of
an AI to run all of their functions and SR seems very leery
of having too many AI's (Morgan Le Fay is the only AI I can think
of and she's having fun with Dodger). If you mean more of a
'complete cyborg' (only has the brain and cranial stem left) they
also appeared only in one novel. I've heard rumors that FASA was
going to deal with this, but don't expect PC's to be able to become
one...They were schizzed to the max. Complete mental breakdown
by the end of the novel.
