In game terms, the Smartlink provides a -2TN bonus across all ranges for
firearms that have hte module, IN the hands of characters that also have
theimplant.

In roleplaying terms, and borrowing from the one, NON-SR novel I have read
that had one in it (I read it before playing SR for the first time, the image
has stuck :-): it slows down your perception of time, and puts aiming
reticules and a "target/impact" dot into your field of vision. Thus, what
seems to others a "fast shot from the hip" is, to you, a moderate-speed, much
more AIMED shot ... and without bothering witht he physical sights on the gun.

None, really; the room has lousy acoustics, so the music just makes it hard
for me to hear my players, and my players to hear ME or each other.

Otherwise, I would go with something like the Akira Soundtrack, and such.
Something Techno. If I could find a TRIBAL techno sound, it'd fit even
better. :-) Know any cyberpunkish Tribal-Indian types, chummer?
