    Those merchants who think it easy to take advantage of the primitive Isslen by offering them shiny rocks often find themselves on the bad end of the deal instead. Although males are not too bright, the females are another story. And the Matriarch always does any negotiations for her harem. It...

    Well... I'd prefer not to, really. I was going for a differnt feel. Barizar is a decadent place where anything can be had and decidedly Aleasanan, while Arber's a frontier of another culture that has become an armed camp and merc central. In Barizar slaves, narcotics, and other items of that...

    Yeah, I recall the Faegrim being to the southwest. I figured the Island would be north of that. And it's not exactly just off the coast as the various archipelegoes are. I figure it's a bit further out. Trade involves a sea voyage, but not a too too long one. As to being overrun, it is...

    Well, it is complicated. The occasional summary is somewhat helpful, if brief. Just throwing out ideas, but maybe an index. Say divided up by category, and then what posts it's mentioned in. Like, say Dragons, Post #xxy or whatever. Or, is it possible to link to specific posts? Then just...

    And, jumping on the religion bandwagon... The dragons have their own religion with no connection to the humanoid races of Aleasana. Their religion revolves around the elements, which they regard as the building blocks of the world and life, and the embodiments thereof. There are four major...

    Perhaps the most bizarre claimant to the throne is Nara, an alu-fiend- and the daughter of the last king by his first marriage, to a succubus who had seduced the king in disguise in an attempt to engineer some hellish plan. She was discovered, and forced to flee, leaving the half-breed behind...

    Shadowrun I: The Take-Out

    Will throws a scowl at the sight of the decker drinking on the job, but turns at Siren when she explains the financials. "Sounds okay." He pauses at the call for introductions. "Cat." he grinds out. "Everyone called me Cat." It's a little apparent the nickname irritates him. "I was until...

    I don't believe I've seen this mentioned, but who's the law in this sprawl? Lone Star, Knight Errant, some other company; or plain old public sector cops?

    Shadowrun I: The Take-Out

    Will paused at the door way to the hotel suite. He was a little irritated at being late, but ongoing negotiations hadn't been concluded quickly enough. He tugged uncomfortably at the collar to his shirt. He was considerably dressed up from the usual. Silk shirt, a blazer, and a pair of...

    Mike DF. It might be MikeDF or Mike D F or something. I mostly lurk, though I post once in a blue moon. Also, another question. In Cannon Companion, they break down Unarmed Combat into separate Martial Arts styles with different advantages and disadvantages, along with available maneuvers...

    OH! HEY! I recognize that siq quote. Especially because the posts mention Pennsylvania. I take it you'd prefer it if I didn't read the threads started by Empyrean Seraph in Dumpshock?

    Gah. Knew I forgot something. Hmmm...had to take another flaw, as I was unwilling to dump something. Nothing else fit the character. So I just took a mild allergy to cigerette smoke. It was the only decent one I could think of, as I myself don't do well around it. (And in a family of four...
