I was just curious as to how your characters have tried to make money in SR?
I've had characters that tried to make money almost any way they could. Never did straight up organlegging, well at least we didn't go out with that express purpose, but I will say it helps to have an Organlegging Street Doc as a Contact. "Ah yeah, hey what's up Doc, yeah we just killed like 14 Red Samurai... Uhh huh... yeah just like 3 minutes ago. Ok same place as last time. 40% on the cyberware. Sweet! See you in thirty!" Now I have played all kinds of characters that would give up their money (Had an Ork Physad who gave almost all his money to "his people" in the Ork Underground) Some wouldn't do organlegging period, even selling the dead foes who attacked them first. Then I had characters who would pimp, sell BTLs, do wetwork, run protection rackets with Organized Crime, you name it. Basically I know that you won't get to retirement working for Johnsons. <"Wait! You're going to pay me 20,000 nuyen to break into the Arcology? Sweet can I roll my Neg. Skill to see if I can get 500 Nuyen per success?> Just wondering what different things you guys did to make phat cash, or even better what things your characters wouldn't do? Thanks in Advance |
