:Hi.
:
:One of my decker players has recently started to hound me about the lack
:of 'stuff' availible for deckers, as opposed to other characters such as
:magicians, samurai, etc. etc...
:
:VR2.0 only quieted him down for a few days, then he began to point out
:that there "wasn't really any *new* stuff" in the book. Sigh..
:
:Is there anyone out there who has developed additional programs/deck
:enhancements/little odd things for deckers? And if so, could you drop
:me a line?
:
:Any help would be greatly appreciated :>

A Decker's BEST toy is the Matrix- if it ain't, your not a Decker!
You can do or find almost anything there, but it is usually very
under-developed in location sourcebooks, and not used except for limited,
specific things on a run. I think giving a Decker some fun places to go,
things to do, and people to meet in the matrix would go a long way to
alleviating the "toy" demands, unless he's just upset that he can't kick
the samurais ass in physical combat. I know that I felt similarly about
playing a samurai- compared to mages (and most other characters,
actually), they are offered little in the way of social interaction or
things to do during downtime.
