What is the year?

I've always thought that the year in SR was (Current Year+50), or 2052,
but I've seen a number of people signing their transmissions with 2053, so
I'm wondering if I'm confused.

Thanks

Yes. Seriously, though, Shadowbeat has the year listed as 2053, and I
thought that SR was released in 1989. If so, that's a 51 year
difference. That's why I use 2053. That, or I have an even better
time/date stamp program than I thought!]<<<<<

I just thought of something. I read somewhere that Fuchi designed/built/
whatever the Matrix, so would know the most about it. That got me thinking
(scary, I know...) about the fact that the phone companies can rightfully
claim the entire Matrix as thier turf, and yet people rarely if ever run into
a phone corp decker or phone corp IC. I understand the IC, but the lack of
deckers? I am wondering if you out there in netland have any "fixes" or
general information on how they could be incorporated into a run.

I'm in the middle of editing Edge Runners right now and I have a quick
question I need answered ASAP.

Anthropologists argue about how races should be designtated (humans that
is). For Edge Runners I am using the theory that there are only three
basic human "races". They are the Caucasoid, the Negroid and...what are
the Asians called? I seem to recall Mongoloid, but that doens't seem
quite right. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Y'know, this brings to mind a question back in the recesses of my
mind...since races are the same as subspecies, I have the following
query..
How do you accurately classify all of the metahumans? Take, for
instance, a black elf. Homo sapiens nobilis. But where is the
negroid? According to taxonomy, that black elf might as well be
_green_! Now, since the metahumans _are_, technically, subspecies (or
races), then their scientific name should rightfully come in third in
their trinomial nomenclature. But, what about their "race"? Would
scientists in 2050+ have simply developed quadrinomial nomenclature,
giving homo sapiens derivatives four names, including a sub and subsub
species name? But yet, by singling out humans like that, it defeats
the very purpose of the taxonomy system - unifying all creatures under
one, same classification system. Even if scientists then revamped the
entire system to use quadrinomial nomenclature, merely for the sake of
continuity, then they would be forcing themselves to tack on a useless
fourth name onto every other species in the world. Of course, science
could take the easy way out by simply declaring that were no longer
any "races" (negroid, caucasoid, etc.), but would science really take
the easy way out? Ack...I'm babbling. I'd better stop now. Well,
flames, comments, etc. welcome (but of course, please limit the flames
and personal comments to personal e-mail, so as not to waste
bandwidth.)

I have been meaning to ask this but did not want to start up the
whole thread on quickened spells.

I have run with a mage with quickened attributes +4 spells. And was
wondering do these spells function on the astral plane if so then the
mage in question would have a high initiative.

Also does the spell function on the meta planes?

Increase x spells do not affect astral combat/initative etc it does
say so somewhere in the magic chapter SR2 but its fairly well hidden.

Depends totally on the setting, if the plane looks and actes like the
real world then it probably does, rules on the metaplanes are total
GM discetion from standard (as physical plane) to anything.

If the increased attributes are int, will, or cha, then yes thier

If it's a mental boost, I'd say "yeah"... you have Astral Attributes when
astrally projecting, and they all refer to mental attributes.

Grimoire, p.86: "[...]So Astral Reaction differs from Physical Reaction
and always equals the Intelligence Attribute. [...]
In fact, most things, including non-permanent magics (sustained, locked,
or quickened) do not affect Attributes in astral space."

>Also does the spell function on the meta planes?
Grimoire, p.93: "A magician may find his or her appearance changed from

I think this means: "It's up to the GM" :-)

No, no, no... the spell affects the BODY, not the person (well, the
person too). It doesn't carry over into Astral effects.
Same go for the various detection spells, BTW.

No. Not only wouldn't the quickened spell work, but the "Attribute +x"
spells don't work on the Astral, anyway.

>Also does the spell function on the meta planes?

The quickened spell wouldn't, but it'd be a GM call, varying between the
planes (and per visit), wether the spell itself wouldn't.

Why not...
Of course spiders are bugs.
Just 'cos it's not an insect, doesn't mean it's not a bug...

I was playing around with a character idea (SR2). A physad who survived a
lab explosion only to end up with an arm and leg replaced with artificial
limbs (read: NOT cyber). Of course he'd take the essence loss and
associated magic loss, but would he be able to wield a weapon focus with
the artificial arm? Technically he's not in contact with it, but using the
cybereye explanation in the book, since he's paid the essence for it, the
replacement is considered natural.

Thoughts?

I'll give it a go. :) I would say that even though the arm isn't his that he could use
the weapon focus. However, I might engage this as a good roleplaying experience and have
it take him longer to bond, etc. The character should be aware of some sort of difficulty
impeding the bonding and may need to get another magician to help him out a bit in order
to overcome the obstacle. So, while he may end up spending some NY and perhaps a few
extra karma points, I would keep the "damage" minimal and create a good
roleplaying experience out of it.

If you really want to be picky with the player in question, try this. The
arm reduces the essence of a character by one (1) point normally (discounting
"graded" stuff). And remember, that activating a foci often requires an
action and occasionally some kind of willpower/attribute roll.

Increase the target numbers by one, or even give the activation a "threshold"
of one (meaning the first success doesn't count).

Well, I would say that he'd be able to, but it might require a little more difficulty. Not
really training, but, well, figuring out how the limb works. Then I'd make the weapon
foci he wields exclusive to him because of the arm...and maybe make him pay a little
extra karma.

Still, I like the idea of him telling his contacts that he's "busy trying to bond
with my arm"
or some such crap.

Well, just one- why is there essence loss? Yes, injury can cause magic
loss. Yes, getting even a non-cyber limb transplant can cause magic loss if
it is not cloned- although just leaving the stump (and using a prosthesis)
would not. But none of that causes ESSENCE loss. Essence loss results in
magic loss, but the reverse is not true.
If they are prosthesis, he can't pay esence for them (unless its a
cyberpegleg, or cyberhook- I shit thou not, check out CyberPirates if that's
what you want). In that case, they are just "tools", and he can't use magic
through them. Although making the prosthesis a (weapon) focus is perhaps
do-able...
If they are transplants it would not affect his abilty to use a weapon
focus (or other magic) with those limbs, compared to his natural limbs-
magical abilty is not "localized" that way. On the other hand, there's a
pretty cool potential ofr a Geas there, if limits his magic to not using
those limbs...

Perhaps you should be more clear as to what you mean by "artificial
limbs"...

What I meant was that the character would have a "simple replacement" arm,
much like the artificial limbs available today. Machine, not organic. I
chose this type because if I made it cyber, there'd be too much temptation
to pack it with cool toys. According to the book (SR2 for those just
tuning in), simple replacement artificial arms cannot accept built-in
accessories, and are cheaper.

Anyways, thanks to all for the responses.

Sorry man... I could hook you up if you were in the Celeveland area,
but... Bay Area's a bit far away... Don;t think you could afford the

Now I know what POAD and NAGRL, etc. mean for sourcebooks. But I've seen the
abbreviation UB around here for a sourcebook....which is it exactly, just out
of curiousity?

UB stands for the Universal Brotherhood (Adventure/sourcebook). really good
