whoops. Bummer.

But meh, its still cool !

A friend of mine forwarded this vid to me. Its pretty good for the most part.

Anyway, Thought of you guys over here and thought Id come share the love.

that look really good !

And for me to say that is taking two major things into consideration. I dont care for the lead actor, and I hate remakes of moveis that I enjoyed in my youth.

So with that said, I am SO going to see that movie.

Agreed. I ran a school here in Reno for 8 years. And in that time I discovered that a good student brought out the best in me. I was more excited to teach those who were dedicated and willing to learn, than I was those who just took it all for granted.

In the long run, it was the people who made me not want to teach any longer. in general, people suck.

I hold a Third Degree BB in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu. thats Japanese sword quick draw.

And while the martial arts I studies are for the most part Koryu, or traditional arts, I still appriceate modern arts and their innovative ways.

I really dont like it when one arts students look down on another art and talk bad about it or its practioners.

I wish all martial artists could get along and appriceate eachothers unique styles.

I thnk IC or Intrusion Countermeasure is a fair term. It implies a firewall with perhaps a bit more than a static dynamic.

IC is fair.

I think what Im looking for is the rules. This does this, and that does that, sorta thing.

Also the conversion, making your 2020 netrunner into a R.N , stat conversion.

Lastly an way to convert both decks and programs, would be a quick and easy way to get going.

Maybe the stats block example for a deck and a program. like a deck and program character sheet. This is what the stats are that we use, and what they mean, and how they work.

The particulars can come later.

Most roleplaying systems give you some quick examples, and then suplement as they go along.

LoL, I guess I dont want THAT much after all.

so how close are all of use impatiently waiting (grin) minions, to seeing a PDF of the core rules?

but I guess life comes first

Stinkin real life, always messin up my fantasy world.

May I suggest one more thing from a sort of Admin point of view. Not that Im your Admin, but from that line of thinking, just to be clear.

Once you get something the way you like it, lock it in. Dont keep going back and forth over the same thing and letting every little opinion sway you. You are not, ever going to satisfy everyone. Nor are you going to make the PERFECT set of rules that will be hailed into the next centurey. So what is your goal? To make a streamlined set of net running rules that you can set out for people to use? Cool.

So when you get to a point in the creation, lock the progress to that point. And then instead of going back and redoing that little part over and over as things develop, leave it alone. develop the next part to fit with the established (finished) work.

Otherwise, every time you take a step forward, you take ten back.

Granted Im not in the mix of creating these rules. And I dont know everything thats been said over the course of creation. but it seems like you guys (whoever the core people are) take alot of the input and advice to heart. So much as to the point that you go back and change things constantly.

I just want to see this ruleset complete, as much or more so than the next guy. So this is just friendly advice from someone who has headed projects in the past, and understands the dynamics of that task. Seems easy at first, but then it gets bogged down really easy.

Keep your eye on the prize. And dont be afraid to set limits as well as goals.

What if you had a set of conversion rules. That way you wouldnt have to make ALL the programs, but allow people to convert everthing that exists. Bang !! Done. And no work on your part.. .. .. well any more.. .. er worse work.. .. .. er.... um.

Crap, ya its work.

Sorry.

not to be a jerk. . . . but how much closer are we to a totally awesome PDF of the consolidated rules ?? (fingers crossed)

Ive got the 1.0 core book. Now you guys have got me wanting the rest of the series. If for nothing else than the collection aspect. My wallet thanks you.
