Yeah, I read about the dead zones... and was thoroughly disgusted.
Completely breaking all known laws of physics? I'm sorry - I simply do NOT
like that at ALL. Furthermore, in some cases, if a person`s cyberware
simply stopped functioning, they would DIE. Real simple there. Real fun.
Lets introduce an area where most of the party is at an extreme disadvantage.

Now I realize that some people like these dead zones, but myself,
I can truly say that I hate them with a passion. Of course, that is just
my opinion on the matter.

Anyone out there realize that the first idea for Shadowrun was a
cyberpunk game with no magic nor metahumans? Just when FASA's idea leaked,
other game companies beat them to the punch on the cyberpunk market, so
they revamped SR by adding magic and metahumans - which explains why the
magic system in SR1 seems so out of phase with the rest of the game.
