First of all, beware of the spoilers that this topic may contain for players and GM who intent to play the Renraku shutdown.

You where warned.

My question is directed at GM who have run game inside the Arcology, using the stuff from the Renraku Arcology Shutdown. Then again i'm really open to suggestion from anyones around (since i've notice many creative GM's and player's consult this forum). It's some simples and straightforwards questions.

1-How have you managed to get your player across the drones produce by Deus?(what type of encounters, a chase, seek and destroyed... what gears the team was packing on?)

2-What's the best way to dispatch/destroyed/evade the terrible army of drones of the AI using the normal SR3 rules?(I mean the medusa are extremely tough customer aren't they? In some example used in the shutdown book they seem to say they took out medusas using pistols and smg, witch seem improbable to me). It seem to me one pack medusas could destroyed an entire team with almost no scratch(look at the armor rating!)...

3-If you trapped your players down the Arcology(your sooo bad), i want to know
-how long they got stuck inside(days,weeks,months,a year?!)
- what "missions" did they accomplish?

I guess you'll extrapolate and give me even more than i need so i'll just wait for your answers for now.

Thanks to all of you. I really appreciate this forum and the quality of your post.

(By the way, i already know that the drones of Deus are supposed to be quite lethal, heavily armored and quite smart. I'm ok with that, i just wanna know how to take them out, survive them, escaped them without tactically nuke the entire downtown area...)
