Go To Jail, What's the worse a GM can do to a Player Options

[HarryChrishnaugh]

speaking of penal colonies: Mexico currently has one (or I suppose a handfull) called las isla marias. if you look at a map of mexico they are of the coast of acapulco about 50-100 miles. I haven't found much information and/or documentation on them, but they actually do exist. As far as I understand though they do have wardens.

here's a link

that was a bad era for Mexico it seems when they had the Olympic games they killed a bunch of students in a soccer stadium too.

My CoWorker/Supervisor is a Mexican Native... I can ask him if he knows any details.

I speak Mui Poquito Espanol, and he talk english little bit, but usually we can have wonderfull conversations, even if we have to resort to Pictionary or Charades.

Thank you thank you, I do apperciate the applause and the compliments.

but also some criticism would be nice. What would such a child be like being raised by an elven mage, and a dwarven Street sam.

We had a "Three Men and a Little Lady" campaign where the runners raised the orphaned daughter of one of the runner's dead girlfriend (killed by the Ancients in a rather large gang war). The girl's name was Angel. Half of the game involved keeping her from getting killed in various situations. She turned out to be a virtuoso pianist, so the runners eventually "retired" and turned legit to pay for her music school tuition.

I don't think raising a dragon baby is anything remotely similar to that... in fact, that's one of the dumbest ideas I've heard for any Shadowrun game. Your GM's batting 0 for 3, Weredigo. Sorry.

An island? How pedantic. My big bad inescapable pit is on the moon.

Seriously. Ares and SK have lunar bases; this is established in the books already. Ares has a mine in one of them, a hole a mile deep and a quarter of a mile in diameter. They capped it, filled it with air and are using it for a combination prison and sociological experiment.

SINless shadowrunners captured within the UCAS can be shipped to The Pit, if their crimes warrant it. They are stripped of all augmentation-grade cyberware, and given baseline cyber which lets them do their job and no more. Then they're told to find a shovel and get working.

Food is doled out on a quota system. Work your quota, you eat. Don't work your quota, starve. Fall sick, die. You're SINless, they don't care.

You're a mage? Sucks to be you. You're in an effective Mana Warp, effective Background Count of 9. There's a lot of prisoners and the air system is comprised of a HUGE amount of algae acting as air scrubbers, so it's not 10 like it should be.

If you're a rigger, you might get put in charge of one of the digging machines -- but they're way down at the bottom of the pit, and essentially, you're given a behavioral chip and a kink bomb to make sure you don't decide to use one of these machines to cause havoc.

Go ahead, foment a rebellion. There are no guards. All Ares has to do is evacuate the mines. Now you're in vacuum. Death follows soon after.

Escape? Landing craft don't service The Pit. They land at a base miles away. You're then shuttled to The Pit.

In reality, this big scary hole is a boogeyman to scare my players with. Remember my earlier statement: You are sent to The Pit if your crimes warrant it. This means don't become a psychotic killer. Treat the cops nice. Make deals. Have alibis. Keep your head low and it don't get chopped off.
