You forgot the Paratrooper Deamon Rats wacked up on kamakaze.

I had a very advanced (karma & cash) PC that made a "safehouse" out of a van converted to full amphibious, submersible function. This was done with the vague amphibious modification rules of the 1st or 2nd Rigger books.

The van was just anchored underwater in a handy Seattle-area lake. Swim to it, enter in the belly hatch, and you've got an underwater micro-apartment to avoid all reasonable pursuit for a while. It was also pretty cheap, several tens of thousands of nuyen as I recall.

It was a little over the top, but the PC was getting pretty over the top by that point.

The contents were far less thought-out than the engineering details: magical wards to discourage astral examination, a spare assault rifle and ammo, change of clothes, and some nuyen.

heh. I should do this. I usually play the least paranoid charcters, but this one had a very stong sence of self preservation.


This would of course all be tweaked to match the SIN getting used and the location of the safe house. He had 16.

Suitcase/Duffle/Garbage bag
Briefcase/Messanger bag/shopping cart
2-4 days Cloathes
Fake SIN (between 2 and 5, again depending, a homeless begger vs a corp suit )
+amount fitting SIN on an account
2-5 days non-perisable food
2-5 days bottled water or idoine tablets
Pistol (depending, either a Savalette Guardian, or a WW Infiltrator)
Big Gun (something with a stock and a bayonette)
2 load outs for each of the above (Hi-C for the WW if needed)
Skill wire chip for above (if needed)
Stun Baton
Armor (Armored Cloathing/dirty long coat /possibly V-Island Actioneer line)
Medkit (w/ Stim/tranq patches)
Pre-preped Disguise kit (to match SIN)
¥50-¥1000 in cert cred (though not whole numbers, ¥784.50 would be more like it)
50-200 bucks in real cash (usually UCAS dollers)
0-¥500 in trappings to match SIN (watch, MP3 player, liter of Gin)
Pre-paid Cell Phone (all same brand to match barreries)
Pocket Flashlight
1 gram novacoke or bliss
2 pairs rubber gloves
3 molotove cocktails (or the goods needed to make them)
Incendary gernade
Zip ties

Again depending on the SIN & location, most of this would go up in flames once used. What, you thought the molotove cocktails where offensive?

Isn't Mortimer of London a fashion line exclusively for males?

Don't be a clothing Nazi, JesterX. There is nothing wrong with women wearing men's longcoats just as there is nothing wrong with men wearing armored leather skirts.

its simple avoid white leather, it's trashy.
Fresno Bob
I think its actually that you're not supposed to wear white shoes between Labor Day and Memorial Day.

And I think the rule is "Leather that isn't a jacket looks trashy"
Lindt
There is nothing wrong with leather pants. This IS shadowrun after all.

Leather boots and whips are never out of style (although white ones might be).

Yes maybe gyrojets are more effective. But in this case there is such a thing as too much. I like to be able to enjoy the feeling not have require medicare.

Who needs an expensive bolthole?

Rent a prostitute, go to her hotel room.

A) When bad guy finds you: He will kick down door, announce self, talk a little bit, and then shoot the prostitute to remove witnesses.

Use this time to grab the pistol under your pillow and blast his brains onto the back wall.

Take his gear and her money... transaction successful.

B) If bad guy does not find you, kill the hooker and take her money... transaction successful.

C) If bad guy is in multiple armored units, you fragged up to much elsewhere and you're on your own... transaction successful for GM.
