Any house rules out there?? Not getting pregnant in the first place is the best idea in the shadows... it's not like there aren't biomods or sufficiently advanced preservatives in SR. Other than that, the respective thread holds a number of good house rules. |

It's a fine excuse for a hacker / rigger to go full-immersion lifestyle for ~6 months, or for a magician to participate using astral projection & spirits for that same duration.

Any house rules out there?? 1) Leave it alone? Let it be as big a deal as they want to make it? 2) Or you can go the other way, have bad guys start targeting her/ the baby. Sucks but it's shadowrun. Not care bears. Bad guys often capitalize on any advantage they can. If she's slower, or less dexterous, they can take advantage of it. 3) Have something 'happen' where she looses it. It sucks but sometimes baby's just go. The life of a Shadowrunner is NOT conducive to carrying a baby to term. Car chases, hand to hand combat, bullets, all bad for babies. But the thing is, the only way to GET pregnant in SR is to WANT to be pregnant. They even have male BC pills and the like. So chances are your PLAYER wants um pregnant. You can pull them aside and be like 'Man (( or Woman)) this is really freakin' me out. I don't wanna have to deal with this shit." Most players will work with you. Those that wont... Shoot um. Drop a tank on um. Have a Juggernaut eat um. Something. |

Turned out to be a weird symbiote a cult used to bring about evil spirits but I digress. Everyone was in on it too. He had all the other players working to make me believe my character was magically pregnant. Was an awesome game though. |

QUOTE (Backgammon @ Jul 2 2010, 04:33 PM) She really should have rented an incubator when her womb would meet the limits. Nice take on this, though. Have a player in my group whose sammy lost her child in a similar manner (she blamed the orthoskin and shocks from the adrenalin pump kicking in twice a day, though) via player's decision. |

Any house rules out there?? The player should have some ideas. If s/he thinks this is a cool idea, ask him/her how they think it should be handled. If they don't have any ideas, tell them you're going to take a pass, and nix the idea. |

Morning Sickness and Shadowruns don't mix.
I mean, honestly, what are you going to do? Ask the Security Guards to hold a moment while you run to the bathroom? |

Surprised no one has posted the link to the thread from a few months ago already, but since I was the one that created it, here it is:
http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=31059 The topic was about a pregnant magician who would also be the face of the group. So we're dealing with drain on top of all the other issues of a pregnant shadowrunner. Here's the replies that helped me the most: http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...st&p=926715 http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...st&p=926722 |
