But Great Dragons have some kind of a built-in Masking - in metahuman form, they look metahuman in astral too !

See 1163a. The proper answer is never "yes".

Also, I couldn't remember if they could astral mask or not. Also also, I just wanted the Ghostbusters reference.

They probably can. I think the only reference we have (or that I know of) is Haesslich, who did not mask. But neither was he all that great.
(Never Deal With a Dragon)

1164. There is no such thing as edible bodyarmor
1165. Or monofilimant g-strings
1166. No characters based off of anything in Giants: Citizen Kabuto
1167. My character cannot skip a run to play Giants:Citizen Kabuto

1168: I will not attune my shaman to the platypus
1169: I cannot be a Drop Bear shapeshifter.
1170: Even if my hacker is the nerdiest of the nerd, Lambda Lambda Lambda was not his fraternity in college.
1171: I will not ask for my knowledge points back, even if I did take max ranks in "interesting bodily functions."
1172: Just because I make an acrobatic adept does NOT mean I can go make some quick money at the Olympics.
1173: My Street sam will never get a pet called "dogmeat," and no it won't find ammo for me.
1174: I will not ask my dwarf companion if he's ever tried tap dancing.
1174a: I will not recommend that he/she take up stilts as a hobby if they want to talk to me.
1174b: I will not sue my dwarf companion for being the cause of my sudden bout of chronic neck pain.
1175: I will not solely hate on dwarves...
1175a: I will never be truly part of a policlub, even if my character is biased.
1175b: I cannot start my own policlub.
1175c: It has been brought to my attention that I said "... not solely hate on dwarves", I do not apologize.

1176: It is considered bad form for the GM to dance around the table singing Scissor Sisters' I Can't Decide at the start of the very first session.

1177: While Characters based on Creed, Jim Haplern, Dwight Schrute, or other Characters from The Office are perfectly acceptible, characters based on Michael Scott will be eaten by Lofwyr at the start of play.

This applies mainly to GMs. It's okay if it's in character.

1178. I am not allowed to withhold hits on my damage soak test to lull the GM into a false sense of security.

Spoilsport.

1179: No one wants to hear about the stories my character writes between runs. As a side note, there's absolutely no market for an X-rated version of H.P. Lovecraft's version of Twilight, in the Sixth World or real life.
1179a: Okay, there's probably a market for it somewhere in the Sixth World, but no GM is going to let me sell it to my intended market of teenage girls.

Make the main character a fox and you've got two* potential markets in the real world.
(Disclaimer: Its your own fault if you click those links and venture too far)

*404'ing right now.

Meh. That's too easy. Besides, how many people would actually read furry!Bella on Cthulhu-Edward action?

... Don't answer that.

More than one.

1180. I am no longer, under ANY circumstances, to be left on my own in any RPG due to the fact that in one DnD session, I ran off on my own into the wealthy district of town and changed my form to assume the identity of an old man after I have broken in to his house, gagged and tied him up, stolen and put on his clothes, and called the guards to execute him on the basis that he was the doppelganger trying to kill me. For some reason they didn't question how an old had tied up a rogue doppelganger. It was going perfectly until his gag fell off and he told the guards the true story and my whole group was killed.

That was a good plan that lacked execution.

Actually I think it was a case of BBEG inherent flaw (let innocents live, for a while at least). He should have offed the old guy and said he killed the dopplenganger when he pushed him into the fire (Burnt beyond all recognition).

You should have killed and placed him under the floorboards or in the cellar or simply burned him to a crisp and used the coal shuttle to scatter his ashes. Why makes things complex?

1181: All I know is I can no longer take Lady Gaga as a Mentor Spirit.

The guard kinda walked in on the scuffle. He heard a commotion and ran up to the house to find me, transformed into an old man, and a the real old man tied and gagged at my feet. He didn't seem to question how I had accomplished such a feat at my age against a doppelganger, but, yeah.

1182. Until further notice, I cannot use weapon foci as a adept. The GM has no idea if that's allowed or not.

Oh it is allowed.
Adepts can't use much more than Weapon Focus anyway.
And with their adept powers, they don't even need them.

1183: "Pudding Wrestling" is neither a specialization of the Unarmed Combat skill, nor a valid Day Job.
1184: The "Fame" Quality will not allow me to live forever.
1185: Singing at the table attracts snipers.
1186: Stealing a police car is unwise, but allowed. Stealing a police station is not.
1187: I am no longer allowed to cast spells beginning with 'O'.
1188: While Day Job: Bus Driver is allowed, it does not mean my getaway vehicle comes with 'free hostages'.
1189: If a player earns a Geasa during one of my games, I may not choose 'Give the GM 5$'.
1190: MCT does not sell a 'Probemaster 3000' Drone, and I need to stop pestering every fixer to find me one.

1191. When confronted by a Saeder-Krupp HTR team the default action is not to leave the mage to keep them busy while the rest of us leg it. Not even if it worked the last three times.
1192. Running against Saeder-Krupp Berlin never works. We will remember this next time.
1193. No, you cannot poke the dragon.

1194: I am no longer allowed to write Shadowrun parody music just because I want all the extra karma my GM will give me...

1195: I am not allowed to continually harass the dwarf about the time his overconfidence cost him an arm and a leg in the literal sense.

1196: When the BBEG comes back three days after we killed him, my first thought should not be "OMFG HE'S JESUS!". I should be more concerned as to where he got such quick and reliable cloning technology.

1197(common tail-light bulb, BTW): When surrounded in my GMC Everglades hover truck by special ops soldiers with Panther XL assault cannons, it is never a good idea to "gun it and blow through these suckers", especially not with wounded team members in the back.

1198: I may not name any vehicle the "Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird", no matter how many eagles went into producing it...

1199: While creating an Infected Night One elf is a broken concept, it is not mended by having her SURGE into a blue catgirl...and under no circumstances may I Google image search "blue catgirl" with safe-search off just to show everyone else what this could potentially look like.

2000: I may never play a female character modeled after the Yu-gi-oh: Abridged version of Mai Valentine...

2000a. If male, I may never play a female character modeled after any anime, movie, or TV show hottie.
2001: ShadowRun can be turned into a space odyssey, but it is not one by RAW.
2002: Pixie Drakes aren't allowed, no matter how awesome it might be.

2003: It's supposed to be Good Cop/Bad Cop...Not Crazy Cop/Homicidal Cop.

2004: Rules 1200 to 1999 may not be mentioned and shall not be discused. And must be stricken from the record. Suffice to say furries, nor magna, shall not be mentioned. In any combination. In any running rules, until further notice.

Hehe.

I would...out of curiosity...>_>

Ooops...My bad. I'm usually much better at math.

Sprechen Sie for thyself.

OK, one more stupid question; what does "BBEG" stand for?

Big Bad Evil Guy

The end boss in your campaign.

Assuming you have one!

...JUST one?! Phew....

Damnn---I've got several...I must be doing something wrong.

2005: My heavy weapons expert is not allowed to moonlight as a Mall Santa.

2005a: My demolitions expert is also not allowed to moonlight as a Mall Santa.
2005b: Ditto for my Pornomancer.

2006: I shall not shoot someone in the rear and say: "The problem has been rectified."... Again...

2007. When playing a technomancer I am no longer allowed to sneak up on sleeping PCs use my spiffy echo's to drag their minds into the matrix and then put them on the receiving end of a troll in some raunchy BTL.

2007a. I am not allowed to put any PCs on the receiving end of a troll in some raunchy BTL under any circumstances.

2007b. Unless it is for the good of the group.
2007c. In such a case the vampire does it because regeneration is absolutely vital in such a situation and he would wear the dwarf like a condom.

2008. While explosives are an acceptable method of creating an entrance, four tonnes may be a little excessive if not just because of travel limitations.

2009. No fishing with dynamite.

2010. I will not create a mage based on Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.

2010a. Anything based on terrible fanfiction is right out the window.
2010b. Doing so will result in my immediate execution. Which I would completely deserve.

2011: The Stonecutter's Guild does not control the British Corwn
2011a: Nor do they keep the Metric System down
2011b: Nor do they keep Atlantis off the maps
2011c: Nor do they keep the Martians under wraps
2011d: Nor do they hold back the electric car
2011e: They were not responsible for making Steve Gutenberg a star
2011f: They do not rob cave fish of their sight
2011g: Nor do they rig every Oscar night.
2011h: I am not to make any other references to Homer the Great when the subject of the Stonecutter's Guild is mentioned.

We do! We do!
2011i: Patrick Stewart is not a member of the Stonecutter's Guild.
2011j:The Stonecutter's Guild does not look deep into your heart and assign you a numbers based on the order in which you join.

2011k: Mr. T is not one of the magnificent leaders of the Ancient Society of No Homers.

2012. No NPC's based on any member of the A-team.

2013. If Doctor Evil is your BBEG, have a good reason for it.

2014. Even if you are a short, bald, tattooed bastard wearing a fraeky glasses, you are not allowed to call your fellow runners "filthy assistants"
2014a. But GM can give you the Cat for free... heh, heh.

2015. Your PC's name can be Agatha (or Gilgamesh, Klaus, Lucrecia, or any Girl Genius character), but you are not allowed to have your own fleet of zeppelins, neither an ancient castle controlled by AI.
2015a. Especially a mad, homicidal AI.
2015b. Heterodyne is an organisation mentioned in SR4A fluff, not your family name.
2015b. Even if you make extraordinary good coffee.

I, on the other hand, will. Whether or not I'll be able to play her is another matter.

2016: I will stop coming up with ways to disturb everyone I play with.

2017: The computer is not your friend.
2018: I am not allowed to convert a parnoia character to shadowrun or vis versa.
What the hell is with these numbers?
