So, In Character vs. Out of Character would be more accurate.
I prefer the half and half, but I'd rather have a mixed book (SOTA: 2061)
since that way I don't have to wait until "SOTA: Magic" for magic stuff,
since this year is "SOTA: CorpSec" or some such.
I liked CorpSec and FoF, but I feel teh books would have more use to be
more varied (though, not as chaotic as Neo A's Real Life)
To update the corporate security wouldn't require a complete book, since
a lot of the stuff is already in another place in SR3, but a good IC
breakdown would be nice. I'd also love to see some new magic, and new
edges/flaws too, which don't need IC descriptions at all.
Also, to make sure it's clear, there is NO shadowtalk. The IC parts will
be more in teh way of explaining the new rules or new ways of doing stuff
AFAIK. You're not getting a catalog with shadowtalk comments underneath
or such.
