Not sure, but at least more than i have of triple posts.

Because diamonds are forever. And they add +1 power to any of the spirit's unarmed attacks.

Besides, dikote is just as easy to remove as latex, just have the spirit dematerialize and you'll be left with a spirit-shaped diamond shell where it once stood. It can then rematerialize somewhere else.


I'm going to play devil's advocate here and suggest that anyone who considers flamming emo for his off the wall ideas take any one of his concepts and compare it to the plot listed below.


The newly elected President of the UCAS commits suicide on inauguration day as part of a blood magic ritual to enchant the most powerful focus in the world. The late President leaves this ubberfocus to his drake physical magician protege who is having an affair with the new Vice President and her dark brown nipples but it is stolen.

A bunch of stuff happens and the dead President comes back to life as a Free Spirit who then possesses Billy the cyberzombie. The cyberzombie President gets the focus back and uses it to save the world. Everyone lives happily ever after (except the dead President's running mate who got his face blown off several years latter). The End.

Yeah, some things you can't unknow. Damn you for reminding me of that.

Yeah, there are things in the DS compendium that just make sense here. Swordfish Musterdball is one of those, as are dikoted AVS manafesting ally spirits (that you can have sex with), and paratrooper deamon rats wacked up on kamakaze.

That doesn't make any sense in english let alone smegging leet!

Is there anything wrong with not giving every one of your NPCs 142 cyberarms and a battery operated sex aid latex and dicote covered chainsaws.

How about normal 2070 street folk with power levels based on how they should be, not how insane your campaign is?

Your superiority complex is bugging me!

So THAT's what Ted Kennedy was talking about when he said "What ever happened to Little Billy!" Here all this time I thought it was just a drunken rant, when he was actually predicting events in 2057.

And don't ever forget the Drop Bear Conspiracy (currently at war with the Disney Company, we will have Michael Eisner's head on a pike!)

Actually, I have an IC excuse for why my character is so skilled without ever actually having been on a run. See, Fangirl had a normal, middle class upbringing, but ran away to Seattle at age 16 (because, as I've already said elsewhere, her parents just didn't understand! Oh, the pain! The angst! The PAINFUL ANGST!) with an aim to join the shadows. Shortly after running away, she met a fixer, Mackie Messer, in a Shadowland chatroom. Mackie found himself drawn to Fangirl, finding her innocence and sense of optimism refreshing. Having been a runner in his younger days, he soon began to mentor Fangirl, helping her gain the abilities she'll need in the shadows. Thus, Fangirl has got a lot of practice and theoretical knowledge out of the past three years, but an over-protective Mackie has shielded her from getting any real, practical experience until now.

How does that sound?

You get me wrong.
I'm not having a go at your char.
Given the building "restrictions" it's a wonderfully balenced character.
even more so considering it's your first.

Its every time emo get slightly insulted he goes off on a superority complex agressive bender.
For example in the hellhound thread he practicaly attacked me when I asked his age.

For the record i'm trying to take everything emo says as if its the first thing i've seen him say. That way I don't judge based on past experience.

I know, I'm just saying that it's still possible to have a plausible and highly-skilled newbie runner.

I think he's a sophomore in college, so probably 19 or 20.

Yeah he eventually relented.

It's not random. Convert it to hexadecimal notation, and you'll get the moniker I used to use back when I spent all my money at arcades instead of my FLG store.
So

And yes, I'm married, yes, my wife games, and yes, I'm too old to be trusted

FanGirl: Have you played any other systems? And was a TM your first choice of character?

That's something i wanted to say for three pages or so .

1. I played one session of DnD a couple months ago. I was an childlike, pyromaniac gnome sorceror who traveled around with a halfling rogue who constantly tried to pick people's pockets, as well as a noseless human ranger who only traveled with us to keep us from stealing and/or burning everything in sight. Unfortunately for me, the tavern we started out in was magically fire-proofed, but I did get to kick a drunk guy repeatedly in the torso during the obligatory tavern brawl (the drunk had picked up my halfling friend and thrown her across the room for trying to pick his pocket). Good times. Other than that, I have no real table-top gaming experience.

2. Well, yes and no. I might have picked a mage or a shaman character when I first agreed to join Emo's campaign, but one of the other guys had said that he wanted to play a magic-wielder and I didn't want to deny him that choice. Emo suggested a TM, and I was amenable to the idea, but it wasn't until I studied the section on TMs that I truly fell in love with them. I really can't claim much credit for the fact that my character is well-balanced: I just took the TM sample character sheet from SR4, replaced the negative qualities with reasonable equivalents, switched the languages around a bit (the sample TM's first language is Spanish, and there's no way I'm pulling off a Latina character), and tacked on the extra points Emo gave me.

Come to think of it, I just realized that I now have 6 more Knowledge skill points to tack on, now that my Logic and Intution have been boosted. Where shall I put them?

You mean when that run takes you into a startrek convention and everyone can access that klingon dictionary on their contacts, which is probably a bit less insane compared to those who memorized it...

Try the three seashells . They're terrific.

Interesting program. Just for the heck of it, I made a street samurai picture. Those are cybereyes.

Also, I'll point out here that Klingon could come in handy for encoding those important documents. Even after it's decrypted, it's still gibberish!
