Shotgun & pistol quick draw holsters for bike ? alcohol ? Moonshine base materials ? 2007 Gibson x-plorer Guitar & equiptment ? Still ? Cowboy Regailia (including ammo belt & hip flask) 11,980 remaining *I discussed the geas with the player and we agreed that, for the geas to be fulfilled, the first row of his stun condition monitor had to be filled. Using Zen Shooter01's house rule and the rules for healing stun damage, for him to be able to activate his adept abilities, he needs to be drinking pretty much continuously. **The low lifestyle is a placeholder for the moment; we're currently using the detailed lifestyles rules from Sprawl Survival Guide, so he and I are going to sit down later and build something custom. Additionally, part of the reason I'm asking for advice is to get some numbers for the items with question marks by their costs. So, opinions? |

Just tell him he can have all of the little stuff for the rest of his cash (or a nice round number like 5,000 or 10,000). |

That's pretty much what I was going to do if no one had any other suggestions. |

Alternately, you could check out the current prices for each item (in US$) on the net, and then just convert those straight to nuyen (quite a bit of the other gear matches up to this formula). :)

No Cowboy, goat roper, or wannabe would play a Gibson explorer. Heck look at Johnny Cash. He played A Martin May I recommend that he look into the order of Saint Arnold? They are a group of magicians/ adepts that use making/ drinking beer a devotional. Also, Malaguena Salerosa seems to be an appropriately ironic theme song for this character. Its a song about a very pretty girl. he goes into great detail about her beauty. Irony here is that his life is a beautiful wreck. O another reason for going with the old school Acoustic. You can hide a shot gun in the resonator/ neck. Gene Autry did this in many of his movies. Fired it off by playing the low G string. I'd toss in a couple of speed loaders for the DAR, |

Just a tidbit because I forgot that often myself until I changed it in my book with a pen: They changed Fake SIN availability to Rating*3. For a mere 1000¥ per rating I see no reason why to downgrade? |
