This could just as easily be a net project (hey Fro). Of course
Setting up some rough guidelines for possible game play around then could
be interesting as well. Lower tech and makeshift cyberware holds some
interest for me (early smartlinks that were datajacked for the interface
for instance). If this were ever worked out as an official FASA product
then it could be a section of another SR companion or as the possible (I
not holding my breathe yet) SR almanac.
It would definately be an interesting alternate campaign. The good
old days when everyone was trying to figure out and master magic and the
matrix.
Anyone else interested.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.

Not my place to jump in here -- was Bill's idea and I'll leave it in his
hands. Although I do have an alternate timeline article that has been
promised for TSS..
Unless Bill actually wants to enlist my help, in which in its available. I
just can't turn anything down :)
