I've seen something similar on the fanpro forums. We did Shadowrun trivia, basically picking out book references, which gets to be more difficult that you think based on the differences between the English and German books. Maybe we could do something like that.
Be warned though, the thread is at about 44 pages, IIRC. Don |

Extended clips if I recall correctly. And no, they didn't updat all of the guns to carry them - the HK MP5-TX should have a 30 clip in that case. I have to admit though, despite my perchant for the Old Stuff some of those questions are really out there in Fan Boy territory. Now, where's Trivial Pursuit, Sixth World Edition? |

70 points for me. What's a Heath spirit? A metaphysical representation of a candy bar?

Heath, as in moorland. Quite common in Europe, essentially an upland area cleared of old forest for grazing and since left to grow wild again. classsic example would be Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor.
As for Canon reference - Germany Sourcebook. :proof: |

I think my force 6 candy bar spirit friend would like to disagree. May I introduce you to the dreaded, "Mr. Goodbar."

If there's a shaman of Toaster, there could well be a candybar shaman.
I'd strangle the player who tried to pull that in my game, though. With his own intestines. |

Nice one Ancient. BTW- You can add a "subquestion" to number two too.
Who's the other canon character who should have six fingers but only has five... |

Sweet Jesus. Despite my massive Shadowrun collection, I still ended up with a pathetically low score. Talk about obscure. :) Maybe if I had read some of this stuff over again more recently I'd have done better.

Do we get extra points for knowing the right answers to the question(s) that the spoilers have incorrect answers to? :-)

I made a few booboos,s ince I was going from memory, yeah. I didn't think I was being too obscu...okay, maybe Dr. halberstam's name and the two six-fingered ones. The thaumaturgy license was a bit anal. The Power armor was damn obscure. Only GMs should get #13. The bonus was strictly for the compulsive types like me.
[/edit] If you had the right answer to a question that had an incomplete answer, give yourself two bonus points each. [/edit][/edit] And anyone with more than 111 points because of knowing those answers may proudly bear the title of Adam. But hey, I got a good cross-sampling of material, eh? |

The answer to 12 is just plain wrong, not obscure. :)

Okay, I should have said powered armor, and it was Sword of the Knight publications, not FASA. Picky, picky.
[/edit] There are /always/ mistakes. I'm only a room full of monkeys, y'know. |
