Yep. And I scoff as well. I'm going to soon be playing in a campaign with
nothing available except what is in the basic rulebook. Never mind three
supplements on cyber, one on weapons, two on magic, ad infinitum, we're
just going to play good old-fashioned Shadowrun like mamma used to bake. :)

Well, I think in the BBB it refers to table deaths being 'rare' in 2050,
which I can agree with. If it wasn't pretty safe, almost no one would risk
it (who could afford it anyway), and it wouldn't be profitable.
