to quote Toby Keith:
"let's have a party!"

joking aside think of the influence/friends you could cultivate

With a name like Guerilla (not to be confused with Gorilla!), I imagine they'd have to be.

Dare I ask what the T stands for?

~Umi

Guerilla T. Troll?

Having the last name of Troll would cause you a lot of problems.

~Umi

Guerilla T... T is for Troll (He is a Mercenary - with a Magic of 1 or 2 (adept))... Street name, of course, he does not go by any other name. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Does he have a mohawk and dark skin?

Invite a heavy trog rock band over to play for "candy". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Find the SR equivalent of Charlie Sheen. Now you have 0 doses of Novacoke and some Nuyen; maybe even a new friend.

Exchange it for baking soda to confuse the Audio/Video dope fiend at your tattoo parlor front/illegal 'trid porn studio. (Sorry, long story.).

You don't need to find the equivalent of Charlie Sheen; if he's been Léonized, you can find the actual Charlie Sheen. And then reenact scenes from Platoon in your living room with Novacoked-up Charlie Sheen.

Better yet... re-enact the scene from Scarface. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Cut it with nitro, add sugary stuff and sell it as an a healthy alternative energy drink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Don't forget some Natural Supplements and lacing one in every 50 with a dash of K-10 (for that extra boost).

This came up sort of in our game though it was bliss and they stole it as a side money making venture. One of the players who missed that session is an addict for bliss and they plan on selling it to him.

Reminds me of a Firefly game. One of the players was a proctologist.

I...I shouldn't continue that story.

No... You really shouldn't... *eek*

I am guessing it all came to a bad end? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Lets just say that one session one player was not around and the other player was able to practice his trained skills.

I, the cook, and the engineer made booze. Really really good booze. Like Tech x10 equivalent. And lots of it. Like 300 gallons.

The money we got from it was insignificant.* It was like being paid in stick-'n-shock but really really wanting deltaware.

Or as one player said, "Hooray! Money! Is it worth anything? Who knows!"

*This is due to the fact that anything that is within the "reasonable purchase price" of starting player characters isn't worth having (or is so cheap you can have 30 of them by accident, as they cost 5-50 credits) and anything worth having costs 25,000 credits minimum.** The only thing you'd actually want to buy that has a price you'd actually be able to afford*** is the fuel to make interstellar jumps. Which is all financed by the person you're transporting or the goods you're transporting for them. So the price is irrelevant.

**Only one item inbetween: a landing shuttle for 10,000 credits. We already had two.

***Not really. It has a cost of like 300 credits per one-way trip, with the profit on a one-way trip being like 50 to 100 credits. Our 300 gallons of booze netted us 10 credits a gallon. The 2000 credits we ended up with (after splitting the booze with the captain, drinking some, etc. etc.) was not enough to buy anything we wanted and we already has a slush fun for anything we might need.

That is an impressively terrible economic model for a game.

Tell me about it.
The only way to make "common junk" valuable was by getting it as Tech x2 or Tech x10 (there were no in-between values). You multiplied the base cost by said multiplier and got minor benefits (don't recall what they were, exactly) along with non-mechanical bells and whistles (e.g. a book could have a small holographic projector instead of regular 2D images).

Also, if you had the "Trust Fund" quality, you could make dice rolls to buy things up to a certain cost for free (cost based on charisma and negotiation, IIRC, along with a dice roll). Cheesing it meant that at the top end you could just barely squeak in a "free spaceship"* if you tried often enough. Keeping mind that the roll was specifically "to see if you could get the cash" and were not required to purchase anything (successful or otherwise).

*That 25,000 credit item

The T is his "real" first name's initial. He was known as Gorilla T playing ball in college before blowing out his knee. The Guerilla moniker described what he did better than anything else when he started running the shadows.. cause who'd hire a runner named CokeNwhores...?

You obviously have never met some of the employers my group has had. One of them would have been able to provide both the goods and the services in payment for the run...

The number of "hookers and blow" jokes in my office alone would prove otherwise.

screw you guys!
i'll make my own shadowrun group!
with whores and blackjack!

My Mistake... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
CokeNwhores fits him better though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
