[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 4201329, member: 725"] The slang was in every edition of SR, I just plucked 1E from it's place, on page 161 there is a limited selection of slang words "Breeder" ;-) Personally I found 3E rules wise an improvement, but graphically it was the start of the end. I find 4E graphically very un-SR. i love anime, but SR is the wrong game for anime like illustrations, Exalted is a perfect game for that. Rules wise I think that 4E hasn't improved that much, it became rather bland. Although the wireless aspect of the update might seem interesting, I find it almost completely useless. While wireless might become more common for commercial applications, secure locations (such as runners would infiltrate) would NOT use wireless for security reasons. I'm a computer 'nerd', and my home network is wireless capable, I disabled it though (even now considering physically removing all the wireless cards from the routers/laptops). There are already far to many folks making a sport of hacking into wireless networks. I worked at a bank, no wireless connections for security reasons, we're not unique. A street samurai that would consider using a smart link that could be hi-jacked is either very stupid or has a dead wish. If you have a wireless system in your body, you make sure it's not connected to anything else if you expect to get into combat. If someone could get control of your cyberspurs they could kill you in your sleep (when your hand is near your head, extend cyber spurs *grins evily*). To be honest, the newer 4E SR stuff doesn't have the attraction the older SR had. I think they tried to hard to update and change SR to better work with newer inventions. SR had an apocalyptic event that set back technology many years, it worked for the setting, why change that? Btw. SR isn't made by WizKids, they own the propert, but license it out. [/QUOTE]
