Yes it is me, that elven neuromancer, Quiktek.
Yes I have survived it all. Projects, Research, and FInals.
I will be here for quite a while (2+ years). So I will be updating the
Brand Name Cyberware material as well as pulling some more interesting
technology out of the air. Look for the Complete listing of Ammo
Options (unabridged), some may remember the first postings, Some new
armaments, drones, and vehicles. I should be able to get the first of
this stuff out within a few weeks. (I hope and pray).
I also had a frightening thought. I posted something a while back that
had the drug effects that Wordman put on the rec.games.frp.cyber
newgroup. The post gave me an idea. What would the effects of
specially designed BTL chips be. I am talking about BTL's that would
not be designed to cut-off the senses, but just overlay them to
produce pleasure, pain, and/or strong emotions. Sort of a thing that a
person could slot that would induce high levels of adrenaline because
the user is feeling paranoid/scared/wary. But the user still would
have full knowledge of surroundings and exactly what they were doing.
Here is what might be required... Currently simsense cuts off the
usual sensory feedback so that it can overlay its own (correct?). I
think that is the way it is described in Shadowbeat. I can't quite
remember. Anyway, what about making custom chips, sense decks, and/or
chip slots that don't cutoff the usual senses. In fact, the chip
really doesn't produce false senses, just induces strong emotions and
none-physical related senses (sort of like bad feelings and
uneasiness). These strong emotions could (I think) induce adrenaline
release and other things. Any ideas on how this may be expanded?
I am also thinking about changing the Brand Name Cyberware stuff into
either MS-Windows Help files (context sensitive) or putting them into
a nice document. The format would be MS-Word for Windows 2.0 or
similar. Is anyone interested in having this?
