IMHO, R2 is in decent shape as it is already. And with some of the ideas that
Keith have had, Jon Szeto would more than likely roll over in laughter from
some of them.

The one problem with R2 is that R2 is not a normal sourcebook. It is a
compilation of rules with some stories introducing some of the chapters.

And remember, all rules in SR are optional.

As for myself, R2 is considered one of three or four bibles for the game in
Lafayette. Without it, our game might not be thumping a war path to see who
can beat each other out in terms of toys and the like.
