Sorry but did FASA ever plan to release a new VR? I think the VRI is
enough is not it? It has everything about computers , mainframes and
programs . what is the need of new one?

Heh. The rules presented in VR were superseded by SR2. They are, almost, no
longer valid. The new sourcebook, that should title Virtual Realities II or
Techno-Shamans, hopefully will present the new matrix rules already sketched
at the end of the Divided Assets module. Me and all the decker wannabee in
this list are all waiting for playable matrix rules.

As someone from Deutschland said some time ago, the sr2 rules are only hard
to learn, but once this is done, matrix runs go pretty well. Only drawback,
I know this will happen 61 years in the future, but can we have something
more tied to a _real_ computer network? (thanks Gurth for your new rules,
only have to playtest them :)

Bye, Paolo

Yes, VR2: Techno Shamans is due out this fall, I think. I don't think
anybody's sure on what will be in it, but I for one would welcome a
brand-new approach to the matrix...

Has _anyone_ playtested them yet? If so, I'd like to hear about your findings...

BTW, this reminds me of the quick-play (card) combat rules I sent out to
various people for playtesting a few months ago. I received 1 (yes, one)
comment from somebody, and that wasn't even about the game mechanics proper
but about converting characters...

According to the GenCon registration book, VR2 will be released there.
Will let you know in a week or so, when the money I sent to GenCon with a
friend returns. :)
