You'll find that there are *many* different styles of GM's and players on
the list. And if the ultra-high-grade cyberstuff doesn't fit in most of
their campaigns, well, you're just weird(j/k) :):) Not that the rest of
us aren't weird:) If it fits in your game, fine. If it fits without being
unbalancing or causing terrible amounts of strife and heartburn for those
involved, terrific! And if it doesn't fit in mine, that's fine, too.
Certainly, I'm the *last* person who should lecture on the evils of
power-gaming:) Which doesn't mean I don't:) But I probably shouldn't. But
I digress...

Your prerogative, but you maybe should have noted this in the original
list, eh?

Neither did Tom Dowd. Which is why we have Deltaware instead of
Gamma-grade cyber:)

Nice try, but I don't believe it:P I would suggest moderating the 'way
out' stuff - keep in mind that lots of folks run low to mid power
campaigns around here and that some of the stuff that you toss out may
well seem excessive to the high-power folks as well (Hi, K! :) But don't
run off just yet. It's not like we haven't all had the occasional idea
that seemed whacked to the rest of the world (I've had several which I've
quite thankfully repressed and cannot presently bring to mind:). And it
could have been worse. You *could* have posted this to rgfc and started a
flamewar:)

Well, back to lurking for me...
