Now that would be ugly. Black has the best impact for the cover.

Thank you.

Not that much of a description. Don't forget that Cybertechnology
does pick up some of the slack.

I have problems with that fast rule. I can't agree with it. Maybe
some other way perhaps.

Since those are options from the Companion, that's where they should
stay. This is about the CORE RULES, not what to do to the entire system
or how to make the book over a thousand pages. Please let's keep ideas
relavant to what's in the main rule book already and anything else that
HAS to be in there. If it's in another book, then you should ask yourself
if there is something wrong with an existing rule where it is at.
Optional and additional rules are fine where they are at. Anything that
need to cover or CORRECT the main book should be there. Rules for
handling Stealth and the expanded Threat ratings are two examples of what
should be in the book. Metavarients and Edges & Flaws are fine where they
are at.

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.
