ETA: Chrome Flesh

Any word on an ETA for Chrome Flesh ?

When it's done™

While I'm greatly looking forward to the opportunity to fling money at LW, CF is three weeks 'late' at this point and I'd really love an update.

I wonder if some issue came up that required redoing the entire thing.

No, we haven't had to redo the whole thing

To give a progress report - at this point we've got the drugs, cyberware, and bioware parts of CF 95% finished (they need another couple of days to finish some complicated items, but that's all). Work is now in progress on the nanoware and geneware, and after that I think we'll be ready to release. We're doing everything I can to get those parts finished as soon as possible.

In some other good news, we should have the point buy system from Run Faster ready by the time Chrome Flesh is out! Life modules are also part-way done - I'm not sure if they'll make the CF release, but if not they'll follow soon after.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much on the progress report! It's great to hear that Run Faster is nearly there, too. I can't imagine how complicated it'd be to make not only a totally new UI for the alternate chargen methods, but also code all the myriad combinations as well.

Which point buy method? I presume the Karma method and not Sum-to-Ten. Either way, I am happy to hear things are progressing relatively smoothly on the development end.

Thank you.

Yes, Karma is the first one we're implementing, followed by life modules. I think Sum-to-Ten is planned for after that.

In 4th edition, it was called "Karma System" (Runner's Companion pg 41). In 5th edition, it's called "Point Buy System" (Run Faster pg. 64).

Then I shall eagerly await their implementation.

When you get the sum to 10 finished, I think you should be able to select the Sum. This would give us the street scum and highlife methods of creation in the corebook then.
