Subject: Bioware, Betaware, and a 3rd edition game of mostly newbies
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 15:39:48 +0300
Ok here is the deal...
Bioware in second edition was introduced in Shadowtech and the book was
specifically saying that it must not be given to starting characters. I
tend to keep that rule even in 3rd edition with the excuse that it's
still hard to find and they have to look for it as characters inside the
game. But sometimes I allow bioware stuff if i see that the player
doesn't takes too much advantage of it.
As for the the betaware and up Cyberware the answer is definitely NO!
Everything above alpha is considered secret, military, very very hard to
find... especially Deltaware belongs to the top-secret projects of
megacorporations.
The best rule is this: If u think that something will blow up ur
campaign or it is too powerful for u to handle it, cut it. You are the
GM, you have the final word in everything. And to the players that know
everything make it clear to them, that since you don't know the game
that well, they have to be patient with you and not to complain all the
time.
