Rigger 2's user friendliness is proportional to use...so if you're a
rigger or have lots of riggers and vehicle interaction, it's fine.
If not, you'll never remember all the charts and you'll have to haul
it out each time you need it.

To answer "what's next", I'd say "What do you need?"

For Magic:
Awakenings--Couple of spells, some neat options for warding and
metamagic, but not much else. Mostly more of the "how a mage/shaman
thinks" Oh yeah, Voodoo rules.

For Sammies:
Fields of Fire --Mostly big guns that GM's tend to restrict. Not
much else. Lots of great optional combat rules.

Street Sam Cat 2--Some nifty toys, nothing essential.

Cybertechnology--useful to Munch out that character. (we all do it
sometimes :) ) Makes cyberlimbs a real pain though, not the easy
use ones from the main book.

Shadowtech -- A god book. :) Bioware is more subtle than cyber,
and the cyber here is more my style (i.e. mental rather than
physical)

For Deckers:
Virtual Realities 2--IMNSHO, You need this book to run deckers as
PC's unless you run alone. It makes decking quick and easy while
retaining the "feel" of it. It does take several readings to get,
but once you do, it works very well.
