Carebear tattoos would make them all the more fearsome. They wouldn't even need the Blood Kites they could drop off of rainbows. There would be no stopping them!

Actually I had my newest runner debate on whether releasing Drop Bears from the Arcology Mall Zoo would be a good distraction...unfortunately that pasky shutdown happened before he could find out the capabilities.
:) There are Drop Bears somewhere in my Arcology tho...:vegm: |

Drop Bear survival horror in Amazonia... Yes, yes that will do nicely.

I'm still thinking it's the Terror Bears from the TMNT RPG... Those guys were awesome!!! Let's see... There was Pain Bear, Fear Bear, Doom Bear, and Nightmare Bear. Great drawing of them on pg. 83 of the Revised Edition. Doom Bear is my favorite. I love the picture on his chest of the skull with the nuclear blast coming out of the top. That would've been a great game, if I could ever get over my hatred of D20 systems... |

We have a winnah! Shrapnel gets 25 Geek points for getting it right on his first post, with an additional 10 for naming them. I'm still waiting for Palladium to update them & bring them into the new After The Bomb system. :D
Sadly, Angelone loses 25 Geek Points for mentioning those wretched creatures that the Doom Bears are parody-ing. :( Eyeless gets 10 points for pointing out the Something Positive strip that I missed, but no more due to the wrong guess. 8) Thank you for your participation. I now un-hijack this thread & return you to your previous discussion, already in progress. :grinbig: |

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can incorporate Drop Bears into the Chinatown district of Seattle?

Well, not for "drop bears" spacifically, but could you modify them to be "drop pandas" and have them as ornaments on the roof of a building?

I was going to say that pandas are more closely related to racoons than bears, but really, koala bears aren't bears either. Is there some sort of HMHVV infected version of racoons? Evil Bandits or something? They know how to pick maglocks, will break into your apartment at night and steal everything from your trash compactor?

That's just evil. Maybe, for the Chinatown thing you could say the Drop Bears are working with the Triads so they can dominate the underworld, along with their Blood Kite mounts. |

Or the Triads could be shipping some in for a AA corp that wants to experiment with them on the QT.

Yup...and either they're installing Wired 3 in them... Or they're pulling an Ares and making them into drop bear insect hosts.... Now THAT'S evil. |

I really plan to - my current campaign is based in Metropole and i guess there's a chance some silly owner of a private zoo has some of these nice fluffy critters. Somehow they escape/ are freed and roam through the city, feeding on the poor souls there. 8)

Interesting thing I learned watching animal planet. Those buggers (koalas) might look docile, but that's because they're usually loaded up with those leaves that they have to eat that makes them sluggish. Not sure if it's true, but the announcer says they can be rather vicious with their sharp claws. Or, could it be that the announcer is saying this so that tourists won't go and take a koala home? *insert ominous song*
;-) That'll be a good one, a rich corp and his family take a bear home as a pet. Runners are hired to clean up the mess or something. |

A koalas could be in for a privet zoo (that’s what you call it when you give in to your daughter and get her a koalas) and get infected with HMHVV latter.
It is true that koalas can be dangerous, they wont attack but if they decide they don’t want to be hugged any more… well you ever tried to force hugs from a cat, koalas have bigger claws, there used to climbing hardwoods with thin bark. Another interesting thing about koalas is that they are one of the few creatures to stupid to die after a bush fire. They sustain injuries that would be fatal on any other animal but they just won’t stop living as if thay cant understand the consept. They have to be this stupid because brains use a lot of energy and koalas are not totally immune to the poison that is there only food. There day consists of a short meal followed buy a long nap to purge the toxins from there body. To be honest some of us are not convinced that they weren’t stupid before they decided to take on a diet consisting exclusively of poisonous eucalyptus leaves. Edward |
