I was wondering if we should not take it as a given all runners drive or have access to learn. In RL American culture most people in the suburbs, the prime market for RPG's and rural areas drive because of status and need. But a lot of city people do not drive. They do not need too. I went to college in Brooklyn and never needed a car once except to move in ando ut of dorms. I used mass transit.
In SR land corp employees would have even less need to driving if they live on corp property. So would it be a given that runners would be able to learn a skill like that? Might it not be more common, especially for street level gangs, that they do not know how to drive or that the guy who can drive is special, maybe as special as a spell caster. "Geek the mage?" "Nah, shoot the guy in the green shirt." "Ok" -splat- "Holy frag they shot Phred.'" "So?" "Phred was the only one with a licence!" "Run away!" |
