my group is fairly black trenchcoat, with a couple minor exceptions.

the one hacker, had a casemod to his commlink so it looked like Guitar hero. one of the others (i forget who) paid an npc hacker to spam him with polka music (a running gag in our group with his characters).

now when left to their own devices, the adept face started a cult (cult of 31, with pink jackets. yes it was a baskin robins theme). and the rigger had some fun in a race with a million nuyen prize- he got a nicely decorated bus, put humanoid drones in it, and actualy won the race despite a few problems... he invested his million in a nice stock portfolio, but lost everything when his fake SIN was blown later that session on their getaway.

i tried to give em a bunch of fun toys (including a bug spirit larva symbiote) but for some odd reason they didnt want them... even though they let aztechnology put cranial bombs in their heads (because the ware was cheap at their beta clinic!). aztech was very happy with all the nice biotech the runners brought them after all, even if the johnson was killed by sniper fire.

We have a few moments of mohawkness in our games the worst I'm afraid were caused by my Mage with the shapechange spell

The drake in the team had done a grab and run on a item we extracting under heavy fire. After flying in at high speed and just managing to grip the damm thing (A bronze helmet we were told had no magical properties when we agreed to do the job) became stuck to his foot and he couldnt let go.

After much silliness flying around with what amounted to a very bling bit of foot jewerly he lands beside the van and tries to shift back. For some reason he cant go back to human form or drop the thing, hoping for the best I overcast shapechange on him and due to some lucky rolls (edged on the drain) and because the GM just hadnt seen it coming I again created a DragonPig small enough that we could fit him in the van with everyone else (little scaly foot still stuck to the helmet).

What I didnt know at the time was the GM had planned a dogfight for the Drake and something airborne as we went to the drop off but was so pleased we found another way out he allowed it.

There is a Fixer I use in all my Seattle-based games. Ork Fixer, gold teeth, yellow suit, faux-leopard skin lined, to the huge double breasted jacket, platform shoes with goldfish in them, wide brimmed(as in..out to his shoulders) yellow hat with a HUGE arse yellow ostrich feather. Goes by the name Frederick Olivier Hollywood. He also doubles as a low end johnson for handling repossessions. The earliest job I used him in(2nd Edition), he hired the team to repossess the synthacardium of a dwarf child(on a little league team...the wealthy parents thought that, since it was done by a street doc, they didn't have to pay). Frederick keeps the heart preserved in a small jar..Yes, he really does have the heart of a small child that he keeps in a jar on his desk. And the speech that I give runners when he first starts working with them always involves him telling the story...and putting the jar on the desk...and saying "Now...if I hired someone to do that for one of my clients...imagine what I would do if you crossed me?"

Oh...and Frederick is a physical Adept to boot...In one game, I actually had a player get on Frederick's bad side. Fredericks response was simple "If you keep doing that, I am going to rip your heart out through your ass." You
guessed it...player did not cease and desist..so, when you make a statement like that...Level D killing hands, and a strong Ork...the player failed to stage down the damage(5 soak successes, verse 7 successes on the damage roll)....
Yes, Frederick really DID rip the guy's heart out through his ass...and then billed the guys next of kin for the
dry-cleaning.

Rule of Cool.

My eastern drake has a Katar. And being of the cloak and dagger type, a katar was one of the best melee weapons I could pick up.

Wiping out a museum full of people and nearly himself in broad daylight to get two guys. Guess I just thought that seemed over the top.

You know, should have thought of this thread but... mentioned it in things I'm no longer allowed to do first. The team had to get in to a guarded facility with surveillance systems all throughout... except the roof. My character (yay, I got to play for once!) is a troll street sam/ infiltration expert who is in a B&E focused street gang with a love of extreme sports. When going over the data on the facility my character points at the big old hole in their security, when the rigger pointed out the team had no aerial assets I point at my parasailing gear (for some reason team discussions always happen in my character's apartment, something about furniture being crushed by the trog's big hoop or some such). Since my character was the only one with the needed skills we hook his gear to the back of the rigger's vehicle, get a good bit of speed going and my character parasails (in synth-leather duster and mirror shades) over the security systems to break in and steal the McGuffin. the ex-filtration was a mess, eventually he got spotted and it devolved into a gunfight, still pulled it off though.

Where was that story of that one thief who stole something by doing just that?

It was post on dumpshock a month or two ago. Guy parachuted down and stole the thing (all I remember is that it's star shaped, has lots of diamonds, and that there are very few of them left, originally made for a queen of England) and no one realized that it was stolen.

3rd Ed, running a conversion of the a 2nd ed adventure, the name of which escapes me (though I think it was from SuperTuesday).

At any rate the adventure led us to some illegal rave that was taking place in a mall, and we were supposed to find a guy there who might have some information we needed. Unfortunately the mall happened to be the mall where our gunbunny who had the dayjob flaw worked as a security guard.

Upon seeing hoodlums trashing his mall "The Colonel" decided to disperse the crowd. He stood on a table at one end of the foodcourt with a megaphone and shouted "disperse!" immediately following it up with a couple hand grenades.

Then there was a lot of running, some screaming, automatic weapons fire, and then Lone Star pulled up.

We ended up escaping into Redmond driving a hijacked Police van, sorta like that scene out of Robocop.

There was also the time we dropped a fuel air bomb on a Triad Warehouse in Hong Kong but I suspect Dwight could elaborate on that better than me... I was busy caught up trying to outmanuver another PC and prevent him from releasing a bioweapon into the city.

The reason I mention it in this thread is that the group is based on the cast of "Things to do in Denver When You're Dead."

Thank you, I just finished watching it. That was a great movie and it had Shadowrun written all over it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No, wasn't that movie. Actual thief. News article was linked here a few months back. They caught him because he'd made mistakes in one job, and it took them forever to track him down.

He loved going into under construction banks and putting in his own surveillance equipment and building backdoors.

Just now happened; I hired a hacker just for my entrance, and he hacked some service drones just to break through some windows and play Ride of the Valkyries while I used Suppressive Fire to sweep a crowd (including hostages) with gel rounds from the ceiling, riding down on another drone. The fledgling GM learned not to agree to something before I told her what I'm hiring the character for lol

Yes..that is the wrong order. Mind you, any Pink Mohawk GM would have heard you out, and then agreed. A *GOOD* pink mohawk GM would have heard you out, and then
given you pointed questions to make it even COOLER!

I was running the Thrash the body electric mission in Denver, the group did a couple of recons and were a bit put off by the layout and that Ares were right next door. I tell them its getting late and the plant is shutting down when one of them asks whats across the road from the plant. I tell him its some run down warehouses/factories at which point he starts jabbering in Danish to the rest of the team - I'm Scottish so I dont understand what their saying and I demand to know what their muttering about, turns out hes having a plan.

One of the guys has a high loyalty pimp, and drug dealer, another is hooked into the local anarchists and another has gang contacts and yet another has a very connected fixer by mixing these together they somehow get the idea of throwing a rave.
They organise vans to bring people out pay off a hacker to sort a temporary permit to ward off the Zeddies and give out free booze. While their setting up a couple of the hookers "get lost" and stop for directions at the guard hut they convince the guards to come over once their finished.
After a while they start spiking the free drink with coke and speed then they blow up the generator and bust up the gangers' bikes while wearing the invited guards jackets. Once the power dies the anarchist runs into the room and shouts that the rentacops across the road have "killed our buzz", cue instant riot

Their own security footage even backed up some of the legal challenges by sinner gang members because of the permit.
