GM Info on Game Setting

I'm still ironing out exactly how I'm going to do this, but I can give you the basics now. (All of which are subject to change)

- This game will be very tongue-in-cheek. It's a game about old shadow runners, and I expect to hear "I've fallen and I can't get up" at least once. ;)

- Characters have been retired for at least 15 years (current year being 2064). They should be in their late 60's, early 70's. In their day, they were damned good. So we're looking at around 75 Karma to make characters.

- In terms of cyberware, nothing that wasn't available in first edition (though we're using 3rd edition rules). This means no bio ware, no nanites, no move-by-wire, etc. If you have a question about a specific item, let me know.

- Cyberware will also cost 20% more in essence then what's listed in the book.

- Your characters are old. This means that things that used to work, don't. Mechanics wise, I'll decide what ailments you have based on the character you create (I'm flexible and can be negotiated with).

- The above applies to cyberware as well. You're wired reflexes may be spotty, or you may have a funky rash from your dermal armor.

- Mages are not excempt from this. A likely ailment to strike a mage would be senility. "Why are we sneaking in this building again?"

I think that covers the basics. If you have any other questions, let me know. Hope to see you there!
