Well I guess it's time for me to get on my soapbox also.

1) FASA wrote shadowrun to be ambiguous in regards to good and evil ON
PURPOSE. In the Awakened world, good and evil start to get a little
fuzzy. Sure, your street sam character has just geeked four MCT guards
and bombed their research facility. But, it prevents MCT from releasing
some horrible new widget into the world. So good and evil become kinda
relative. Which I believe is the point in the "cyberpunk/awakened" future.

2) "Can't we all just get along?" If you don't like someone's house
rules, then don't use them. If someone wants his players to be knights
in shining light security armor, and you want to be a thug, join another
group. There is enough variety out there for everyone.

Hey I just found 50 cents I'll buy the coffee.

Regards

Bill
