Ooh, that does sound like a good plan. I was discussing what I would like to use for Shadowrun earlier, and thinking maybe Gurps, but Blades could be a very good call. Do you have a link?
The problem with vouchers is they can only be used in limited places. What we need is some kind of universal voucher that can be used anywhere to be exchanged for goods and services. Maybe we could put a monarch's head on one side and some sort of famous scientist on the other or something.

So I made use of the infamous rm -rf and sat there thinking "this is taking a long time"... then realised I had my Windows drive mounted as a sub folder and I was in the process of wiping my hard drive of everything!
So life was better when e didn't have a tory government absolutely fucking everything up that makes the country worth living in? Colour me shocked. (yes there are international factors at play, and factors beyond the government's control, but they have absolutely exacerbated every single one of those things)
