Wait, why kill the Humanis before feeding them to the ghouls?

By the by, I play a Nosferatu mystic adept in one game, and I've completely embraced the fact that he's a monster.

A GM I had long ago finally bit me on this one... Somehow, I managed to get both my HE and my White Phosphorus grenades to get knocked back my direction (I'm still a bit puzzled on how it all happened, exactly), and they about smoked my street samurai since we were in close quarters.

Yeah....i chucked one down a hallway into 4 drones, unfortunatly, it bounced far enough back to not do any damage to them, yet light the entire hallway on fire and fill it with smoke....and ALMOST light my team on fire frown.gif damned deviation rules anyway)

Because you're killing them to fake your own deaths so you can collect a bounty on your own head?

Well, I suppose you could work out with the ghouls a staged scene, where you lure "the targets" into a ghoul ambush.

Bonus points if the targets are wearing trodes hooked to simrigs, and you sell the recordings to someone who makes snuff BTLs. smile.gif

So that's getting paid thrice for the same crime and shaking the heat by faking your own death.

But you forgot one other thing: "disposing of the evidence" ... because I'm pretty sure a big steaming pile of ghoul crap, isn't going to be very useful as evidence ... not like actual bodies would be!

I was thinking more along the lines of tied to a chair and the ghouls let in...

Twincest is Wincest!

I'd find it hilarious if two of my players did this.

I would too. I'd even team up as a sibling pair (gender irrelevant) with a good friend. Or a spouse (that'd be hilarious) if I had one.

You still owe us the story, now. What the hell is Google Seppuku, and what did your player find that was too illegal for Japan?


You like, seriously need to make a "CanRay's Story Thread" thread or something. smile.gif

This, at least, I can answer:

Google Seppuku is when you take some random Japanese kanji and put them into Google image search.
Keep scrolling through the images until you find something that makes you wish you never played.
Generally takes 12 to 15 pages worth, but occasionally something will happen sooner (English example: "multipart couch" WARNING: not responsible for animated naked cowboy gifs)

Wait, wasn't that about a hacker who happens to be an antique furniture collector?

5099. While Shadowrun runs on paranoia, I am not allowed to force the players to do complex legwork and area sweeps on a milk run. Even if it's supposed to teach them about the nature of the world.

Why not? Shadowrunners are paranoid by nature and I'm sure most of them would appreciate having backup clones. Of course, it would mean they were working for Deus, but that's a small price to pay, right...?
