What do you call a Runner in the air?

That's the viral marketing video going around, yes? It's fake, but has anyone figured out what it's actually supposed to be promoting?

One big arse Kickstarter maybe?

Apply the LTA mod to skates?

Yeah, that video looks questionable at the very least. If it were legit, a question running in my mind was about the power supply, duration of said power supply, and just how the thing would actually work like that.

In answer to the OP, if the GM is nice you can use the stats presented in Rigger 4. Otherwise the answer is the levitation spell.

Entertaining at least.

If it were legit, they'd all have fallen off

Ahhh... you must have missed the mention of the Gyrostabilization technology.

Posted by: mister__joshua Mar 5 2014, 03:24 PM

Does it also have the magical ability to add rigidity to people's bodies when their feet are at 90 degrees to their body and they aren't moving? That's some clever tech!

Wave of the future, Man.
It is those Microgravity Generators... they always give you "Down" no matter what position your body is in. They are also an integral component of the Gyrostabilization tech.

I have it on good authority that those gyrostabilizers are made of only the finest of Handwavium alloys...

Posted by: Tymeaus Jalynsfein Mar 5 2014, 04:15 PM

I have heard that as well, though I am not sure how reliable my source is.

It's a career boost/PR stunt of several second row and/or fading American celebrities.

Pronounced HOOVER cause it sux so hard.

Good show Mate...

Posted by: DMiller Mar 6 2014, 01:06 AM

My understanding is they will be produced in very small numbers. The Unobtainium in the power cells and the Handwaivium in the gyrostabilizers is very hard to come by. Of course if they raid CGL headquarters they will have all the Handwaivium they could ever use, but the Unobtainium will still be a problem.

So, time to start mining other planets full of blue aliens then?

Btw if wiping out the na'vi means we get hoverboards then it's totally fine with me.

I've heard it only works when wireless is turned on

Posted by: Tymeaus Jalynsfein Mar 6 2014, 01:38 AM

Well, you need the power of Cloud Computing to align the stabilizers correctly.

Posted by: FuelDrop Mar 6 2014, 01:45 AM

I thought that the wireless was used as the power source.

Posted by: Tymeaus Jalynsfein Mar 6 2014, 01:54 AM

Wow... that wireless is doing more than double duty apparently. But you are right. They need the wireless to keep the batteries powered up.
