Was talking with someone about gag gifts to buy a certain dragon ceo for xmas...
Number one was: A statue of a gecko with fake gold plating on it. And got to thinking what would be bad ideas for gifts that say an insane character would send some of the more powerful npcs in shadowrun. Just thinking of dragons: Lung - whoopiee cushions Ghostwalker - barbie dolls ( doll maker always makes me snicker and think barbie boy) Hulpa (or any feathered serpent) - feather dusters Probablby come up with more and post them, but want to hear others |

I was considering going the zombie route, but figured I'd go for a more subtle jab on this one. Can't ghouls only eat raw meat and not drink alcohol? (probably wrong about the alcohol, that might be vamps only) |

(probably wrong about the alcohol, that might be vamps only) I see what you did there, but that is SO 3rd Edition. At least, I don't remember that must be raw requirement in RC, and Hanibelle recommends a cannibal restaurant in the Neo-Tokyo bit of Runner Havens where she often goes when in town. |

It's assumed because most ghouls don't get a lot of flesh, so they tear through it as quickly as possible - plus they don't mind it being uncooked. There is the cannibal restaraunt, but I also believe that flesh is synthetic.
Most of it. Continuing on! President Colloton - A year's subscription to the New Revolution newsletter and a copy of the old flick "I Know What You Did Last Summer." |
