First of all, thank you. Second, playing with rules and char gen to keep
things from ever getting routine for myself or my players is what I do.
Every single time I run a game, in any genre, rules evolve. To the extent
that no two of my shadowrun games has been entirely alike in mood, house
rules, scope, or story line. Feel free to mail me off-list if you want to
pick my brain about something. I have nothing to do all day but read mail
and respond. (unless a crucial server process dies or some idiot breaks a
database) Being a system analyst is boring. :)
