Heh. 

So, "GM Discretion" is another way to say I just won more work.  Also, new GMs need some kind of guidance.  Having no guidelines at all for some things is not a point of appeal.  I always have discretion if I don't like the guidance or need to make an exception. 

Nor is the CRB consistent with this philosophy, considering the specificity of some rules like acceleration, gas concentrations and barrier breaching.  Those are examples of areas I'd rather see more handwavium as a baseline.  There's a sweet spot between no guidance at all and a baseline I can play around with easily.  Some parts of SR6e have that, others not at all.  Consistency is what I'm feeling the absence of.  But as you say, that's well into rewrite territory.

But no need to address that.  The new rules themselves all look good.  The changes hit that sweet spot for me.  I think Combat overall is as good as its going to get, and the other changes all seem positive.  The archetypes are mostly legit now.  The rules I dislike are fringe cases that don't come up often, and now I have workarounds for the vehicle rule issues.  I don't know if I'd ever run it, but I'd play it if invited to a game, and overall it's definitely at it's best point yet.

Thanks again for the discussion.

Ah, so you got an update from drivethrurpg. I got the mail from CGL, and quoted a relevant part from it.
