So, does that mean it's "Shadowtech" and not "ShadowTech"? And SRII
should really be SII? <shows sad, ingratiating face> C'mon Mike, I like
the capital R, it's so ----- shadowrunny.

No Shadowrun sourcebook has a capital letter in any word. Too many psychic
scars from BattleTech. Our Editorial staff can and will maim anyone who
suggests that any word should have captial letter in the middle of it. I fear
them and only hope to enlighten.

Have Fun!
Play Games!
Fear the Editorial Staff - They have Space Shooters!

Is that why so many BattleTech words/titles have a capital letter in the
middle? BattleTech, AeroSpace, DropShip, MechWarrior, CityTech, AeroTech,
BattleMech (at least in some products), OmniMech...
