scanners: the madness?  yeah...i've seen that and wasn't too impressed. 
before ua game out i was working on a game called "schism" -- like ua in
spirit, if not in content (schism dealt more with body-horror and mental
illnesses/diseases as a positive thing...a virus as a pc?  sure!  why not?).

thank you so much for the compliment!  although the 3rd school i wrote up
was antimancy (the hunters), not anarchomancy.  as for cronenberg...i love
his work and am too amazed that nobody has done anything with it in rpg
(hence schism).

heh.  the bee people came to me in a dream about a year ago.  ua seemed like
a good place to unleash them.  again, thanx...and i thank msrs. stolze and
tynes for giving me an excuse to get off my butt and start writing!
