DVR doesn't help when the local College Football game comes on instead of the show you want.

On a Firefly related note, I spent about 8 hours at Disney Land yesterday with my Jayne Cobb cunning hat on. The reactions from people are always priceless.

So I got to play a whole bunch of Missions this weekend at AnCon, and now realize I've been ignoring a part of the rules. Specifically the whole total karma adds to Street Cred which raises Public Awareness thing.

I had almost 60 Karma earned, and few point of extra Street Cred for doing the right things, and only 1 point of Noteriety as I'm not the "performs vivisections", "chokes every prisoner to death", or etc kind of go-ganger, and sadly a few "bonus" points of Public Awareness from some missions. So, when we were doing Romero and Juliette, and I actually took the time to calculate that, I had over 10 Public Recognition. And sure, it was really cool to find out that surprise, little girls were dressing up for Halloween as my go ganger, it's probably not healthy to have such a high PA score. (Okay, I probably shouldn't have hugged the little girls mom and had pictures of the girl and Road Rash Doll taken together flashing gang signs, or offered to bring myself and my hellhound Mr. Torchy to show n tell at her school.)

What can I do about this PA aside from buying off that 1 point of Noteriety with 2 points of Street Cred? It's not much of a dent. I'm just thinking that there has to be something that doesn't involve becoming a sociopath to reduce PA, and that I'm just not looking in the right book.

Thanks,

Ah you did not like tric-or-treat Shadowrun style?

I have seen some players be belligerence to the Johnson. Go out of your way to do nasty things just not too nasty you don't want to be Carver's next experiment.

I hope SR5 has that in check a little better.

Thing is, some runners go through fake IDs like kids go through Halloween candy.

And this is why Shadowrunners are a major voting block all on their own.

How did you think Dunkie won the election?

On the other hand, sometimes hiding in plain sight is plausible. There was a movie Tom Cruise was in where he played an assassin disguised as a FedEx delivery driver, and he spent a few weeks actually delivering packages in LA to research it. Nobody recognised him while he was doing it. It's amazing what people can miss if they're not paying attention and can talk themselves out of it. ("Wow, that guy really looked like Tom Cruise, didn't he?" "You think he was actually... nah, couldn't be." "Yeah, what are the chances, right?")

...should I bring up my Tom Cruise missions character again?

Actually, he won because the votes were cast by real-life people at Dragon*Con. Many of the voters weren't into Shadowrun at all, but there were enough dragon fans at the con to swing the vote his way.

I can't say I wouldn't find that argument compelling. "Vote Dunkelzahn, because DRAGON."

Somehow I reckon it was all staged,

Somewhere Dunk is clinking glasses of Pina Colada with Elvis and enjoying good times

JetBlack is the waiter. It's the only job he could get.
