My, you certainly are a blunt, cynical, and Opinionated Munchkin (Yes, you
heard me. Anyone who can run a game with that much Karma Pool needs a
serious reality check. Sorry. And just for reference... My 5 year
campign character has a total of 25 KP and a Team pool of 18, and we don;t
refresh until the end of an adventure, and i STILL rarely ever use half of
it unless my GM is TRYING to make me burn it. Trying really hard. And I
still feel sufficiently challenged.)

Now, most on this list know me well enough after my almost year and a half
stint to know that I'm one of the friendliest and most easy going guys
around. However, you've maneged, within 3 posts that I've bothered to
read, to ROYALLY annoy me with your self righteous attitude and your "Like
it or screw you all" personality. Sorry, but those are the facts, and as I
told our esteemed Assistant Fearless Leader, it seemed only a matter of
time before I felt it was time to face off and give you a piece of my mind.
Seemed that came sooner than I expected.

Personally, I know exactly what Rigger 2 *IS*. It's a very well done (if a
bit on the Techy side) book that updates and replaces the badly worn out
and incomplete original Rigger rules. Riggers were little more than pilots
under the old rules, now they are a great and much more useful part of the
shadowrun team.

As for the book itself, you may want to consider choosing your words and
your flames a little more carefully, for you never know who might be around
and watching. In this case, the author of said book, Jon Szeto (Nice guy,
BTW), is a listmember. And you just ripped apart (with no real specifics
other than your standard "I don;t like it, it sucks" attitude) his work.
Bad move kiddo...

I'll end this now while I'm still being fairly pleasent, but try and watch
it in the future... Not everyone will agree with you, and blatently
telling people they suck for not agreeing with you is NOT the way to make
friends...
