That's the best part; no strict class roles! Also, I love that the robot playing a cyberpunk game goes with the most human option. We roleplay what we aren't.

iiiiiiinteresting I see mages and AIs almost . . . as fulfilling a certain similar role in stories? technology <=> magic thematically?
-
Ehh, it's more that Shadowrun considers changing the human form as diminishing magic, thus making technology opposed to magic. The more you augment, the less essence(/humanity?) you have, so they're in competition. There's some interesting ideas at the juncture of the two though.

Also, if you wanna expand on magic v AI, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. If you mean wish fulfillment/power fantasies, I get what you mean. I somewhat sympathize with the "Strong AI=rapture of the nerds" philosophy.

hmmm yeah will mull / distill and respond tonight I hope :)

Cool. Frankly, I'm already kinda drunk, so no worries on rushing that or anything tbqh. (It's been... a day)
