Hoi, chummers...

Everyone did know that the SRII hardback is limited edition, didn't
they? When I was in picking up the GMs Screen, I was talking to the
owner of the store and he said that the distributers said that FASA
was already out of the hardback (of course, most of the distributers
have loads as of yet, but...); FASA has already said that there will
be no reprints of the hardback, all of them once these are gone will
be soft cover...

One quick question on Virtual Realities: Is the maximum rating
program a Decker can design restricted by Computer or Computer Theory?
The table for program design says one thing, but a later example
contradicts it... I lied, I have a second question: anybody else feel
that the "System Load" section partially ruins the feel of the
Matrix [notice it's not in SRII] and is only good for determinign the
maximum amount of ICe in a node?
And, one comment: anyone else want to throw out most of the "Magic
in the Matrix" section? My first ever character was an Elven Decker-
Mage; a great concept, but not real good at either one ;) Now, I'll
have to try a Human Decker-Sorceror (Adept) since I have those rules
(I stopped playing first edition before Grimoire came out)...

My next posting is long (about 4 pages)... I got bored at work
last night, so I typed in the hardback errata sheet that came with
the GMs Screen...

l8r... I'm off in search of worth-while data...
