I was flipping through my forth edition last night and my four-year-old twins jumped in my lap to "read" with me. At that time I was looking over some of the sample characters and I found the responses interesting:
Bounty Hunter: Monster with knife Combat Mage: Monster with boo-boo (pointing at the magic) Covert Ops Specialist: "I don't know what that is." Drone Rigger: Monster Enforcer: Monster Face: "That's a mommy!" Gunslinger Adept: "That's a mommy!" Hacker: Monster Occult Investigator: "That's you, Daddy!" (I look nothing like this guy.) Radical Eco-Shamman: "That's a mommy!" Smuggler: "That's a mommy!" Sprawl Ganger: "That's a baseball Monster with a bat! Look, Daddy, that will give you a boo-boo." (pointing at the spikes on the bat) Street Samurai: Monster Street Shaman: Scary Monster Technomancer: "That's a mommy!" Weapons Specialist: "That's a mommy!" Just thought that you would all get a kick out of that. |

I made my TM by taking the sample TM and making some very small changes. I'm a mommy and I didn't even know it!

My wife is a stay-at-home-mom (and she loves it) and most of the women in the neighborhood are too, so I guess that female = mom to my boys. |

Finally, someone else thinks single moms who run the shadows to suport their kids make good characters, too.

but for optimum appeal to the target audience and considering the demographics of the select audience members it's more preferable to have hot young ladies with killer skills either in magic, combat, or at computers. The appeal degrades when they have a kid because it means that the female is... ok, I'll quit with the joke now since some of y'all probably think I was serious. :-P

Experienced? Experience is good. It means less fumbling and more fun. |

Thank you AH, I was just thinking that. It always suprises me how many people remember Mom on the Run. I'm actually using her in a game right now, as part of a group setting up a new Shadowland node. People took one look at the handle and went "hey!" It'll be fun too, because I'm including her kid, who is now in her teens. Hope I got the appx time line right. |

given the time stamp on what AH posted, and assuming a relative newborn when she made the post, and assuming you are running an SR4 game, then yes, a 15-17 year old is like the age of the child

The posters in the SBs are really what makes the SR universe work for me.
From the tidbits of information, to the flamewars, to the hints of SOMETHING BIG (usually involving Dunkelzahn or Harlequin) going on, to the quirks of folks like Laughing Bandit, those posts just bring the world to life. |

I'm doing 4th edition. Figured she wouldn't have the deck until about 3, so I put her at just turning 18. |

Kids are so cute at that age. Then they become moody, obnoxious a-hole teenagers.

its the net, it exposes them to how badly messed up the world is...
still, i think its better to expose them to it then shelter them from it. atleast the former will hopefully prepare them for living it in on their own, unless the idea makes them open up a vein or something. hmm, given that dunks gone, whats the matrix-name for ghostwalker? or does he not care for the new tech? |
