Where did you think I came up with the idea?

3117a: Bubba The Love Troll is always on topic.

First movie to show a rape scene in theaters IIRC. Broke a lot of new ground, and probably scarred a lot of people for life ^_^

Stanley Kubrick was only able to get himself to do the role because Alex liked Beethoven. He figured anyone who liked Beethoven couldn't be pure evil, no matter what else he did; apparently he found the part very difficult. I can't say I blame him.

The book is even worse, of course. By which I mean disturbing and awesome.

Could that not have been done with a simple chemical gland which, at least in SR3, automagically gave the user immunities to whatever the gland was made to produce?

ah, right, my mistake ^^

I have a rather distinct lack of 3E books. frown.gif

I finally said, "Frag it!" after years of waiting when I saw the 4th Edition BBB, and decided to run my own game. Still took years to get that off the ground.

3118 "Shotgun to the face" is not a contingency plan.

3119 Even if my character takes the flaw without points at maximum level, I'm still not allowed to shoot the dwarf if me makes one more damn pun.

3120 No longer allowed to play Shadowrun in the coffee shop. The nice men with badges will take a long time to understand what you meant when the waitress overheard you say "And after we get around the motion sensors, we'll still have to take out the guards." Especially if your GM prints out realistic-looking blueprints.

You win the thread. Awesome!

Just what happened, exactly?

It was back in my college days and it didn't get quite that far. I was GMing the game and my three friends were massive pink mohawk players. I'd used one of the school library's printers to make copies of floor plans I found online and taped them together so from a distance, it looked pretty realistic. They were talking about the security and everything else and a waitress overheard us. It didn't help that both myself at the time and one of my friends were decked out in punk rock clothes constantly (my friend actually had a foot-tall 5-color mohawk). The waitress apparently told the manager to call the cops but the manager knew us since we hung out there all the time and politely asked us what the hell we were doing and, once we explained it, asked us to knock it off. Since a place that allowed teenagers/early 20-somethings to sit around for hours on end drinking coffee refills was far more valuable to us than a place to game, we played at home from then on.

It's fresh on my mind because my current group were brainstorming places to game since our GM's apartment apparently looks like a bookshelf sneezed out notes all over the place (he and his wife are working on their thesis...es? theses?) and one of the places suggested was a coffee shop in a fairly popular neighborhood.

I heard of a group that got to spend the night in a Southern Ontario Jail due to a Rifts game in a restaurant.

It's actually my family's town of origin, so my Aunt was quite freaked out until I started completing the sentences about what they were discussing, and explained Role Playing Games to her. Silly Insurance Company Worker. nyahnyah.gif

Or am I doing it wrong?

They were talking about Command Trailers and taking it over by force.

It just so happened that there was a Police Command And Control Trailer in the area (The town in near Ottawa), and...

3121) Suggesting the builds that even I won't play to other people.

3122) Starting off new Shadowrun players with the most ridiculously OP build I can imagine.

3123) Using our spare cash to buy cruise missiles which we would then launch from our base of operations when in a bind (Not yet, but eventually).

3124) Binky. Not that what we have so far is feasible anyway.

Talking about Shadowrun in public is just asking for trouble:

"So, what are we doing next week?"

"Well, since we already took out that guy we were supposed to hit, and the cops aren't onto us, we need to copy his keycards so we can break into his office and steal all his files. I'm thinking we can set fire to the place, make it look like an accident, and get away with this one clean."

"Cool. Your place at 7, then?"

3127: I will remember to remind both the Street-Sam and pyromaniacal mage that its '*PILLAGE*, then burn', not the other way around. Constantly.

Happened in a one-off game recently. Tyro, archive panic or not, I agree that more people need to read that comic.

3127a: I will also remember to remind them both that it's "Loot the buildings" and "Rape the women" and not the other way around.
Stahlseele
Well, in Shadowrun, it CAN work . . you cann allways sell it as fetish porn . . and you can ALLWAYS sell the women . .

I believe looting women is generally looked down upon. But since when did that stop anyone?

I don't know, it's traditional.

I need to watch that movie again some time.
longbowrocks
Was it only in SR3 that uncompensated recoil did stun damage, or is that a rule variant for SR4?

3128) I'll leave this to the imagination.

4028: I am not allowed to make us lose 900 rules. (see this and everything before it, is at 3900ish, then this post knocked it back 900. to 3000ish.)

Scratch 4029. A lot of that was valid, and only one tank in the game has 30 armor.

4031: I cannot have over 9000 BP, even with long golden shock frills implanted into my scalp.

Just because it was all valid does not mean I am allowed to do it.

Also, by the time you get the long golden shock frills, you're looking at a power level of 10,000,000.

4032: I am not allowed to play a night one sword adept dual wielding scimitars.
4032a: Any night one who even attempts to pick up two scimitars is prone to being struck by lightning
4032b: Or any two swords, really
4033: No, I am not allowed to play a aspected summoner using the pokemon tradition either.

4034c: This includes basic chemistry.
