Still irritable about not having been on the list since 95, I have
to play my trump card to secure my Lazy-Boy recliner. Back at
Origins/DragonCon in Atlanta (1990 I believe) I got to meet Dowd, Hume, &
Stackpole together at FASA's booth. I had to ask them how Flash Grenades
work since there were no rules for them besides Flare Comp halving the
time involved. I got an answer from them that they all agreed on which
surprised them. I also questioned why Meta-humans could never reach maxed
Attributes while Humans did have that potential. (SR1 rules, Attributes
could only ever be raised once.) I didn't get an answer I was satisfied
with.
