I am wondering if anyone knows if any threads exist for consolidating ideas on defining virtual worlds per these official totally-canon rules (not to mention cool OCCs like the Cybermancer or Coalition Digital Reaper, also canon!)
In particular when fighting the machines in Splicers, or the bugs in Systems Failure, knowing more about designing AIs, weapons or tools within the digital scape, it would all be great.
This also makes me wonder, if Palladium could negotiate the rights to franchises like 'ReBoot' or 'Digimon' or .Hack or SwordArtOnline (all supposedly set in digital worlds) which I am not aware of having dice RPGs, if they might make interesting dimension books based on utilizing Rifter 2's rules.
Getting back to the vague purpose of thread... like say you are playing Mutants In Orbit and want to hack ARCHIE-5 or playing Rifts and want to hack ARCHIE-3, I don't know much about either of these entities (or the female personalities of NEXUS in Splicers) so it's hard to know what their capabilities would be when trying to battle them on the digital landscape.
I think that would be a sweet sourcebook if Palladium could stat out a bunch of undefined things on a digital basis. Machine People for example seem like naturals to this.
