Hi, this is my first posting to this list.

This is a game my gm thougth up while the group was in Germany.
The system was found in a bar/nightclub.
First time players could be scaned for cyberware/bioware or
could purchase these items. The players then jack in (skull net/cap
for mages or beigns without datajacks). The players then apear in a
sinario(sp?) that the system chooses (warehouse, forrest,
spacestation.. etc.) and then the players go for the goals (get items
or just gek the others). The number of players can vary (one to one
hundred ??).
I believe the system was closed to just the bar jacks.

Food for thought
