My question is why is your GM running Shadowrun? My experience with my group back home and from tooling around dumpshock is that SR is a brutal, gritty game and that's what its aficianados want. What you did was, seriously, not that bad (especially considering certain of my friends unbridled...

What a great idea! I agree with you on the collateral damage issue. One shouldn't allow one's players to spray lead all over the place without their being some consequences. What those are, however, is where all the fun is :D I will say that the most fun I ever had playing was a sabotage...

I remember back in my 2E days using poison regularly. My rogue players had it for their hand crossbows, while my druids used herbalism to make them. I don't remember being particularly concerned about the moral implications, it was just a smart force multiplier (and yes, that's the way I think...

Most people have already hit it on the head. SR is very different from D&D (and for that I love it! :D ), so trying to use the same morality code is sort of counter-productive. While it's possible to play honorable characters, it's not built for high heroism. I disagree with those that simply...

Movie: The Bourne Supremacy (I enjoyed it muchly) Book: New Challenges, New Tools for Defense Decisionmaking is the last I've read. Currently reading The Political Economy of Armed Conflict and RPG-wise, Shadowrun's Man and Machine Album: The Audio of Being by Matthew Good Band

Or distract her until the monk can grapple her...pretty hard to cast spells if you're pinned... :)

Excellent. I like the changes. Fixes it from broken to not so much. Although if the mechanic disappeared I would certainly not complain.

I would like to both complete one of my many homebrews as well as get the chance to run something in one of them. Sounds simple, but stuff keeps happening that gets in the way. Also, a naval campaign.

"Archon speak good. First rest, heal. Then smash." He grins. "Then save Laurel. "Justice you have friends. Together we strong. Smash good. Bring you and sister back together. Melyn may be own risk, make sure this risk finished first. "You see. Together all be good." He smiles...

Kaereth surveys the situation, closes his eyes for a moment and takes a few breaths, just as Master Ryoko taught him so long ago. Thinking of home for another moment, he recalls the similarities of life between One Oak and Hyrwl, though the changes wrought by the refugees dispelled some of...

Yeah, but it's really hard for me to communicate effectively IC, so I like to be clear over here first. What's happened on the IC thread thus far hasn't really facilitated a situation where Kaereth can try and converse. Of course, I could just write "Kaereth smash" and leave it at that. :D...

I believe I offered a reasonable compromise between our duty to the town and our oath to our fallen comrade, weighted somewhat to the latter. My reasoning is pretty clear above, but I think, under the circumstances and considering the situation that waiting four hours might be risky for the...

I'm not sure how what happened on the IC thread solved anything. I think it would confuse the lot of us, but the major dilemma remains: mainly, how long can we wait on getting Laurel out? In game-wise, I think that while the battle looks to be turning to our favor, it's also a new development...

I could look at pictures of weapons all day long... Look great, DB!

I'm mostly interested in the historical arms and armor, though the idea of more realistic combat rules intrigues me. I would have to see how they worked before committing to them, though I think feats are the best way to go about it. Historical style armor and weapons would be great for...

Also XP for the undead was 12350 for those that don't have it.

Kaereth will not be taking four hours rest, he will be fighting with the grunts until victory is clearly in hand, with the full understanding that he can't level until he gets rest. But he's not as badly off as some.

So we're just abandoning the fight and hoping these guys can pull it out? I can just imagine the boost to morale when the grunts see their great heroes teleport off inexplicably (maybe some know that one has fallen, but that's no guarantee and anyway, their surrounded by the bodies of their...

Heh heh, but I did gain a new appreciation for Raid... and resigned myself to the fact that even in fiction, roaches will likely outlive us all... :D

Couldn't say it better myself. And I've been trying! :lol:
