62: Never overplan, keep it simple stupid - See 61. Old Man Jones would disagree with you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then again, when asked, "Wait, you have a plan for if a dragon just randomly shows up?" He said, "Yes." He's also fond of the quote, "I dislike the term 'Plan B'. It implies I only have 26 of them." -k |

Eliot: I like Plan M. - Leverage, Pilot Episode AKA Black Trenchcoat Shadowrun if you got rid of the cyberpunk and magic. Showrunner John Rogers (avid gamer, writer for Dungeons & Dragons, and author of the current D&D comic series) has not refuted my statement and has admitted to being a Shadowrun fan on his blog. |

Hardison somehow survives Plan M, when they do have to pull it out, BTW.

#67: The biggest gun in the world is useless if not present on the battlefield.
#68: The best armour in the world can still be penetrated with a big enough gun. The only way to be certain of not getting hurt is not getting hit. |

69) Anyone who says that no plan survives contact with the enemy sucks at planning.

#70: Explosives linked to a Bio-meter is only an effective deterrent if your enemy knows about them.
#71: Shadowrunners can't count. |

#73: If you have more than the gutter for a living space and a bottle for company, you're living above your means.

#74: You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. - Al Capone
#75: Plan B is not twice as much explosives as plan A. #76: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. - Gen. James Mattis #77: Victory does not always rest with the big guns: but, if we rest in front of them we shall be lost. |

#78 If a gutter for living space and a bottle for company is the extent of your means then you are a hobo not a Shadowrunner.
#79 In planing, guns, and vehicles you are often best served choosing the ones with the least number of moving parts that still gets the job done. |

#80: Train using iron sights. When your smartgun is compromised, having an unjammable and unhackable fallback will save your life.

I think you meant "Get a Red Dot sight and put it on the top of your gun. Just as a good as a laser sight in terms of being backup to a smartlink, without being an emission source." |

#81: Buy the best gear you can, but train with the worst. You never know, that gutter-punk trash holdout pistol you found in a dumpster might save your life someday.

#82: There are two ways to survive the Shadows; have power on par with a mega-corp or be anonymous. It's the rare runner who manages the first one, so be anonymous if you want to live.

#83: Never trust easily but once you trust, never give it up easily, it will save your life. (Also known as "No One Gets Through Life Alone", "No Man Is An Island", or "Teamwork Hax")

#84: Always have a Plan C, when Plan B falls apart. Plan D should be a bug-out plan, as everything else has fallen apart. Know when to stick, know when to run.

Hilarious show, I just started watching it. Still in the first season. |
