That's one area that I've never broached before...

Back to in-game quotes before I get new ideas!

Yeah, how's that law working out? Rate of violence gone down?

Absolutely! They even threw a party in the streets to celebrate! Oh, wait.....

No stabbings, though . . .

Yes, because being beaten with baseball and cricket bats, or just stomped on with boots, is so much better and humane. nyahnyah.gif

I want some hobnailed boots now.

Me (GMing): "OK, you summoned a Spirit of Man... A powerful one, and rolled really well. Let's see, what kind of Spirit of Man would hate Cops. A lot. I got it."

*Deep Sinister Tone*: "As the police move towards you, lights flashing on their roof, time seems to almost stand still as the driveway of the mansion opens up, a pillar of flame thunders forth reeking of brimstone as a hellish scream of both man and machine come forth, overwhelming the sounds of the flames, the sirens, the alarms. It's a cry of pain, nay, suffering and agony, but also one of joy and freedom as an ancient knucklehead chopper blasts forth from the newly formed gap in the earth that closes right behind it's rear wheel. The motorcycle and rider are sheathed in flames, the tires made up of them completely, with the rider wearing bullet-hole ridden leathers that have torches flying forth from them. It's helmeted head is sinister in it's inhumanity as the hellish iron horse slams down on the hood of the lead police car, and drives over it, leaving an indent and lighting the paint on fire while the lights on top burst into a thousand pieces. The rider then moves past the second vehicle, drawing a crowbar covered in demonic runes that glow with an infernal power and hooks it underneath the bumper of the second police car, pulling upwards and flipping it onto the third and final cop car responding to the alarm. Laughing all the while, the biker rides off, flipping the ruined remains of the squad cars the bird from a ragged leather glove as his knee scrapes against the concrete, one of the mufflers creating sparks as the flames that roar out of it gouge a hole in the road."

Shit, I bet they could make a movie out of that!

Hell, I was even thinking of the comics rather than the movie. I got a bunch of the old classic ones from my Father.

When he does go, he'll be #3 on my Lunch List.

That being, the list of Dead People I'd want to have lunch with.
(It'd probably be easier to book him post-mortem, too)

The other two being Isac Asimov and someone I can't recall at the moment (damn it).


I REMEMBER NOW.

Player: What do you mean she's dead, I only used stick and shock bullets?

GM: You put an AP 4 based round into the back of her head at short range and got 7 successes when all you needed was 3, you upped the damage to much and BLEW HER BRAINS ALL OVER THE WINDSHEILD

GM(me) as you turn around with your drinks you bump into a troll spilling both yours and his drinks
Troll(me): what the fuck bitch you spilt my drinks, you better get me a new on.
Bunny(5'1" elf girl weapon expert): a please and thank you wouldn't hurt.
Duster(6'9" ork male ex seal): *I walk up behind the troll*
Troll: you better get me a new drink bitch or I will hit you so hard I can drink the mucus from the wound I. Your head.
Bunny: you don't scare ms trog.
Duster: *I tap the troll on the shoulder* you shouldn't talk to a girlike that.
Troll: *turns to duster* I can speak to her how ever I want
Bunny: *I reach up between his legs and grab him on his dick and flip him over.
GM: ok roll to hit
Bunny: < I got 15 hits >
GM: ok you grab the troll from behind on the dick, flipping him over into dusters waiting elbow
CanRay
And every male on the board is wincing at that one!

Good one scarius!
Neraph
Unrealistic. It doesn't take that many PSI to rip off that certain piece of male anatomy. Plus, it appears that your group doesn't have any realistic fears in your game... shake them up by actually having Prime Runners in bars where shadowruns are set up. Unless you like playing a version of SR more like That Other Game, that is.
pbangarth
You'd be surprised what one can do with that part of the anatomy:

EXAMPLE

There are YouTube videos of female versions of this, but I don't think I should point to any of those.
Neraph
Training your body for a specific purpose is different than having a normal piece of anatomy. We could point to record holders for board/brick breaking, but your average person would not be able to do this and probably his (or her) attempt would end in pain.
CanRay
Yes, because RIPPING IT OFF is so much better for our mental imagery than just flipping the guy by it. Thank you very much Neraph!

The PC didn't rip off the trolls genitals, she flipped him over into her buddy's elbow, smashing his nose.
Neraph
My point is that the force required to flip a grown troll male over in place by his genitals alone would exceed the force it would take to remove said genitals.

EDIT: Also, that would take a 360-degree rotation. He would have to be flipped so hard he spun fully around once in place. Again, horribly Unrealistic, or it belongs in BESM.
CanRay
Also, that might have not been the only part that she grabbed, only the part that hurt the most before the elbow came into effect.

That was not made clear by your post.

Might've worked like a throw in the style of aikido, or other similar styles. They have a choice of going with it and allowing themselves to be thrown, or planting their feet and suffering the effects of your wrenching on their body. I'd allow that.

I would too. It's not unreasonable to grab someone (even someone as big as a troll) by the nuts and flip them, as long as you're putting force against other areas of the body too.
Synner667
Of course, any such lifting a troll by his bollocks does require a person to be physically strong enough to lift the aforementioned troll.

Leverage and technique can only do so much.

Anyone who allows such a manoeuvre, regardless of number of successes, has already given up on any pretence of reality and is beyond even hollywood's tv/film reality.

You would be surprised how much that troll wanted to get off his feet if she had his bits in hand.
Stahlseele
Well, technically, a trolls dangly bits dangle at about 1.5m height . .
Blitz66
That's the thing. Aikido and similar arts don't use much strength to throw people. They make the person throw himself in an effort not to get their elbow, shoulder, whatever wrenched, broken, whatever. If she grabs his bits and is pulling back and up, he'll bend over forward and rise on his toes to relieve pressure, and then it's so much easier to flip him that it's... less funny.
Dr.Rockso
Oh, Dumpshock. Where else can we see a debate on the feasibility and mechanics of flipping a troll by his junk?

We are playing in an "80's action movie/pink Mohawk" style of game, also this was just a random pub fight and not everyone is a prime runner.

Tetsu(dwarf with a penchant for taxidermy and strippers): we can go to my safe house guys.
All players: yeah ok, let's go their and hide for a bit.
GM(me): ok, so you guys arive at tetsu's safehouse, upon walking in through the door their is a taxidermied stripper with a painted suit on with a monocle and a top hat holding out a sliver platter with a bottle of single malt scotch and five glasses, her other hand is out making a "high five" motion. As you walk further into the house there is 4 strippers sitting on the lounge chairs holding glasses of brandy and with a cigirete with a French holdy thingy in their mouths. As you come into the kitchen their is a varity of different meta-type strippers all around the round kitchen table replicating the dogs playing poker. Over near the bed rooms you have two strippers replicating American gothic. And over at the bar are some strippers replicating the boulevard of broken dreams. Apart from that this place has your normal safe house stuff. Did I do ok?
Tetsus player: better then I could of ever imagined.

The "French holdy thingy" is called a cigarette holder (I own one. No, I don't smoke.).

Oh, and you forgot the naked strippers that made up the furniture ala the Milk Bar in A Clockwork Orange. nyahnyah.gif

Quellazaire is apparently the fancy name, but it's still mostly know as just a cigarette holder.

And, well, with everything else that was going on that you described, they might have missed the naked women as furniture due to comforters thrown over them and junk on the glass top of the coffee table.

Personally, I thinki it might have been the desire to have something look normal along with the ubsurdities of the taxidermidied strippers.

"How did you do all this?" "I had a weekend." "There's that many strippers that die in a weekend?" "It was a busy weekend."

Are these elven ninja strippers per any chance?

Do ANY of the Ninjutsu laws hold if they are taxidermied?!

Well, stuffed ninjas are arguably less effective ninjas than live ninjas. So, which is making them visible? The fact that there's a bunch of them, and therefore lousy ninjas, or the fact that they're dead, preserved, and posed, making them lousy ninjas?
