Tom Dowd and Chris Kubasik were guests of honor at a con put on at the
University of Kentucky. Bug City is in print and should hit stores in roughly a
week and 1/2. Copies were given out as prizes for players in the first SR game
[naturally I was in the second game]. I have to say that the ex-Dark Lord on
High is a helluva gamemaster.
The SR novel "Who Hunts the Hunter" is supposed to be out in March and the
Corporate Security sourcebook in April. The security book sounds good with
material for 'security riggers' and some technologically based measures for
magical security.
The Cybertech sourcebook [this year?] sounds like a delight for chromed types.
It includes topics such as negative essence, delta grade cyberware, 'attachment
syndrome', and 'cybermancy'.
Virtual Realities II is targeted for Gencon but the new matrix rules will look
much like the proto rules in the back of Divided Assets.
FASA plans to do a PC game [cd-rom based] and also new Sega and Nintendo games.
I asked about the Sega/Nintendo games since I liked the sega but wasn't
impressed with the nintendo. Fasa sees 2 different market segments for the
games so I guess the next set of games will be like the last [different for the
platforms]. There was also a vague and cryptic comment about the Sony
Playstation. Actually all of this last section is still 'iffy'. Terry
