Hi there everyone, new to the game and setting and hope you can help me.

I'm coming from a World of Darkness rpg background and find the Shadowrun rules intuitive and flowing. I'm currently 3/4 of the way through the core rule book (20th anniversary edition, finally got but oh no, NOT from amazon [rant for another time...]) and loving it.

My question comes from Riggers and jumping in. The game seems to lend itself wonderfully to introducing elements from Ghost in the Shell anime. I was wondering if there are any rules/books I should be looking at to run a game where the characters can effectively jump in to robotic, human shaped "shells" (as drones). - taking this further I was thinking of having a character (perhaps a pc) that found their consciousness severed from reality and exists only in the matrix - thus relying on drones (and hopefully android type drones) to exist in reality)



If anyone has done this or something like this, or if it is covered in one of the books and you can let me know, it would be very much appreciated.

thanks

Sexy Robot is not a bad idea . . well, at least not in my book . .

Also, you won't have too much fun with that. complete cyber replacement is still a dead end pretty much.

seriously though, can you make a major type character?

Assuming I remember the character correctly, I suspect that given enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) there are several different ways that you could build a character that captures various aspects of the Major. I am not sure you could build an exact 'copy' since Shadowrun doesn't generally take advantage of the full-conversion cyborg concept.
