Yes, it's realy nice. But when the GM catches a glimpse of the time
most of the stuff takes, and if he only thinks about the costs you
need to invest to get most of the toys to make your own boards then
you can be in trouble. Hach, I once got such a smartass who made a
real cool deck all by himself. After the time had passed, his deck was
to his surprise a nice way behind the Sota curve. Well, I was a bit
nasty about that, but he learned his lesson.
<end wide grin>

But true, VR2 rocks, it made deckers so much more part of a team. I
only wished I had mine handy and not borrowed to a friend.
