Alright, so, we got some magic-y stuff and what not in here so gravitating more and more towards Shadowrun proper. I suppose my question would be are there going to be metatypes? I throw my hat in the not ring. Honestly, I love Shadowrun but I found all of the fantasy elements to be the least interesting and weakest part of the game (Magic, fantasy races, dragons etc) Call me old fashioned but I like my cyberpunk to be about the horrors of technology and the collapse of the nation-state. I get that the metatypes are an extension of racial tensions but I don't think you really need that in Hong Kong, they have plenty of that already between Hong Kong natives, Chinese, Taiwanese, and immigrants from all over without adding elves and dwarves. If they are there, okay, I'm cool with that too, just wanted to throw out the idea right at the start.

This is where I stand as well. While I'll still entertain the idea of magic being involved, I'll grow more and more tentative as the fantasy elements begin to overpower the sci-fi. I like the cut and dry sci-fi of it all, and how it surmounts to the point where it becomes detrimental to any who aren't born of it (humans as opposed to AI or robots).
