I see someone else found the Cyberspace book to be a useful source for
background material... Not having my Cspace book with me, I haven't looked at
your conversions very much yet, but I am wondering how you arrived at the
figures you use for essence loss and prices. I've tried converting the stuff,
but I had little success with it.

I have converted a lot of Cyberpunk 2020 stuff successfully, though. For
cyberware, just multiply the price in eurodollars by 10 to get the price in
nuyen, and divide the humanity cost by 10 to get essence cost. For items that
have Xd6 listed for humanity cost, I figure an average .35 essence cost per d6,
or .15 essence for 1d6/2 humanity. This conversion has worked well so far.

Say, I don't suppose you could post some of that stuff to the list for those
of us w/o the scratch to pick up Cyberpunk, couldja?
