All:
I'm having real trouble grokking the hacking rules in the rulebook. Is there a thread or pdf that describes a standard hacking run? Kind of a "Hacking 101" thing? I'd love something that has some vanilla flavor text combined with rules-specific roll descriptions. Or, if there's not such a thing, can we start it here? Bear in mind, I'm wanting to understand the rules as written. I'll take help from anybody! |

I'd actually appreciate that as well. The rules in there are a little weird in how they're laid out. I'd be helpful to see how they work in, say, an example or two.

There was a thread a few weeks ago where someone recorded a hacking run and had it posted as mp3, try a search.

Since I'm such a nice guy and my search-fu was good enough:

i think there was also an attempt made at doing a hacking example thread when SR4 was new, problem was that people could not agree on how some of the rules should be interpreted and the thread died a slow death...

You can also take a look at Serbitar's Matrix Rules (in his signature) as he has multiple examples of typical runs...there just the dice rolls, but I think you can get a solid feel by following along.

Thanks All! I'll take a look at Serbiter's stuff, re-examine the book, and see if it makes sense!

And honestly, don't feel bad. I have been running SR4 for about a year, and the matrix runs are still evolving at our table...
As long as your players are willing to share the growing pains with you, everything will be fine! |
