HEY! I'd already claimed my condo when that bit about playing SR1 was
added to keep out some of the gridsec rifraf! (I easily hit the other
2, and had to learn SR1 so I could understand the other books before
they revised them, but never actaully played our SR1 rules). OTOH, I
have first printings of LOTS of other games- SR1 just came out in my few
"years off" from gaming. I did play box set CP (enough to decide it, or
my gm, was really bad)...

Well, I'd love to, and even have a character (Samuri with a program
carrier & hacking pool of 25, for those rating 5 "flygrams"). I almost
wish we HAD played with those rules... but NOOOOOO, my friend was all
proud of his new black book, even though all the adventures he had
needed new stats and stuff...
