Oh, please, please, please, please DON'T

If you wanna play Shadowrun, Wright, I'll run it for you as soon as I can
get work, school, and relationship responsibilities squared away for the
short term.

A range table of that type just BEGS that cover/movement tables that are
hidden in SR be included too, and they ARE a pain in the ass. Trust me.

Rick and I were bandying about the range issue the other night during a
study break, and there are existing rules that are both in print and
obscure that may solve the range/skill issue ... give me a bit to finish
my current post.
