I disagree here, all that has happened is we are free to decide our own
course. No one ever said you have to follow the published material
exaclty. I hada campaign that had the universal bortherhood/bug stuff go
in a different direct. The runners accidentaly exposed the whole deal
with them and started a major scuffle in Seattle, it made things very
interesting for some time in that game.

So, as i said above who said you have to follow their track? That's the
beauty of an RPG you can make your own world.

That's funny, i don;t see how it's limited. The only thing limiting it is
the imagination of it's players and gm's.
The first game I ran i started a whole immortal elf campaign thing(this is
SR-1) and they ended up going that route. Which to me shows that
sometimes you can end up in the same place by different routes or ideas.
I always use the FASA stuff as a springboard, or a general movement, the
incidentals though are easy to change or create without affecting their
stuff, then again you can say screw em and use your own stuff exclusively.
