To have a simple option for handling proprietary spells in Shadowrun? Golden.

I also imagine that my Earthdawn conversion is going to see some love from this.

Oh! That's another thing: There is a way to create one-off spells in there with costs and prices. :-)

You can also make stuff that adds enhancements to your existing advantage. Maybe your magic bolts penetrate armor better when you have your power ring. This supplement will tell you how to do that.

I'm sorry the price is [FNORD] for early access.

Most of the crunch has already been done, and distilled into method.

Exactly. I've done most of everything for you except the build itself. And that would be the examples folks keep wanting. Each example of a device is about 150-200 words. There are approximately 850 words to the page for a GURPS supplement. So each page might get you 4-5 examples. If I were to get a book of a similiar length (if this one does well enough) then I could write up about 150 examples.

But again, I don't control that. I can only write what I can write and I can only write it if it can be shown the investment is worthwhile.

Who wants a teensy tiny outtake from the book?

I'll take two.

[nudj]

I want all of them now.

I guess it's not wanted. There are only two voices. You folks sure you don't want to know about costing one-off the Stars Are Right Spells for GURPS Meta-Tech?
