Hey now, calm down, Fro.

Gothic talked about the "so it came to pass" section, to hand it to
players who are new to the game, not about scanning the rules. Does
every player in your gaming group have the black book? Don't you write
and hand out some rules, or the combat modifiers?

You know (do you?) I am among the people who curse at anyone requesting
rules, but this is fragging background. People will need the books to
play SR. Calm down, Fro.

What about out-of-print stuff? I'll probably never see them. And, by
definition, never have the oppurtunity to buy them. TSR has put some
out-of-print stuff out on the web for free...

I suppose you don't want to hear about my upcoming Shadowrun mugs (or
my current Btech mugs for that matter.) 'Course the contract renewal
is pending right now.

Mugs? How about Dr. Pepper IV bottles and needles? I could use those at
the gaming table. Or devices that strap onto your face, and can load up to
10 cigarettes one after the other. That would sell to a few of my friends.
This would save some gaming time. And help get in character if you have a
suprathyroid or adrenal pump. And a nephritic screen turned way up.

Did I just see "TSR" and "free" in the same sentence? I feel woozy...
