I like the quotes from "the Book of Cataclysm" in Syndicate Wars: *Snip the awesome* Perfect! Where can I get a copy of Synficate Wars? Also to post without adding would be rude. There is no plan so simple it cannnot be fucked up royally by an idiot with a Panther. - Unknown |

Oh man Syndicate and Syndicate Wars the PC games were both awesome. Were the games based off of a book or vice versa?

No, there's no Syndicate book. The "Book of Cataclysm" is just the fictional Church of the New Epoch's Bible, and is quoted at the end of each of the church's briefing.

This one co-opted from one of the group's GM's for my most recent character (who drives around in a stolen LS cruiser, wearing a dead cop's uniform) - also works for actual LS cops; "Prepare to get fucked by the long dick of the law!: hahahahahahahahaha *wipes away snot* hahahahahahahahaha |

This is a oldie but goodie. I laughed for days reading these quotes
Big Knobi Klub's "Overheard in the Shadows" My favourites: (>) If your opponent's battle cry is: "Die, Mortal !" don't stick around to see if he isn't. (>) Serrin Shamandar, elven mage (>) No, we're NOT surrounded -- we're in a target-rich environment. (>) Fenris, former company "operative" (>) The best way to a man's heart is through his chest. (>) Ricochet Rita, razorgal |

To quote Q from The World is Not Enough;
"Listen 007, I've always tried to teach you two things. First never let them see you bleed." "And the second?" "Always have an escape plan." - To paraphrase Miracle Max from The Princess Bride; "He's only mostly dead, if he was all dead there's only one thing you can do." "What's that?" "Go through his pockets and look for loose change." - You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and when to spit hot lead. When fighting monsters always take care to bring an effective weapon. Know that when gazing into the abyss, someone may push you in. Make sure you run out of targets before you run out of ammunition. I love it when a plan comes together. |

Meriss, your best bet these days would be ebay. The games haven't been sold in the shop for about 10 years now. Either that or try http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=1916 and http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=1917. Nothing there right now, but they should have the links sorted soon.
Some random contributions: "OK, time for plan B" "What's plan B?" "Kill everyone." "I like plan B. Why can't we just use plan B ever time?" "A ganger learns never to bring a knife to a gunfight. A runner learns to always pack a rocket launcher, just in case." And finally, some advice to GM's; "Remember, any good runner can handle themselves in a firefight. Few runners have even the slightest clue what to do in a fire." (It was amazing how quickly the players went from zero to "Oh shit we have a fully stocked chem lab in the basement") |

Hey all! (yeah, back again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
Kill it, don`t grill it. (to those who are using flamethrowers extensively) Never come to a gunfight with a knife. The only way to be sure someone is dead: take his head with you. |

I played a Nosferatu with the Carrier (ghoul) negative quality. We were on a 'run to kill the Prime Minister of India at a public relations conference, where he would be introduced by the UCAS President. We needed to make it look like an accident, and were sent with a second team. The second team's sponsor got our retinal scans as collateral before the run, and we roomed with the other team's memebers. My nosferatu roomed with the other team's leader, our sniper roomed with their sniper, and our gilette roomed with their gun-fu mistress.
If you didn't see it coming, we came to find out that the second team was going to hit the UCAS President, blame us, and give our retinal scans to the Star/Military. We found out, hacked the Sevret Services' TacNet, tipped them off and withdrew without being seen, ran interference on the other team (finding the other sniper, despite his Concealment Power and his Chameleon Suit with Thermal Damping), saved the President's life by a well timed sniper shot taking out a drone hurling at him at 120 meters/round, and still were able to frag the Prime Minister. We also recorded the whole thing, including the other team's audio, as severely incriminating evidence. When everything finally went south, my nosferatu mage turned off his foci, cleaned the astral signatures, and now finally to the quote: Me (nosferatu Ghoul-carrier to GM): "I lick one of his (the leader of the other team's) spare shirts on my way out the door." GM: "... Wha- Oh crap. Nice!" To the general sound of laughter and applause from my teammates. |
