Yep. Because as we all know, 99% of all runs require you to waltz in through the front door, stop to get checked by security, and declare your business as "yeah, I'm hear to kidnap one of your scientists." Sneaking past or bribing security? Perish the thought.

Now I think it is time for YOU to go reread the first two sentences of the very first post, along with the title of the thread. Something about a "meet" as opposed to the actual mission. What do you "generally" carry? Not on a mission, but in "general". If your list is everything you carry on a mission, then good luck to you. I don't usually sneak into a place to "meet" anyone. That's silly.

Yeah, I don't get hassled anymore either. Of course, I do have an ID now. We get calls all the time though, from all over the Northeast, of people trying to get in with all sorts of things. Not for the purpose of causing trouble... just innocuous items that they didn't think twice about. I am sure a lot of people slip through, and it has to be easier after they know you (trust can be dangerous).

I would, but I'm terrified that I might get stopped along the way 'cause I have a Dr Pepper in my hand and a Swiss army knife, a lighter, three rubberbands, a half-empty bottle of Tylenol, a matchbook, a handkerchief, a notepad, a pen and mechanical pencil, about $3.00 and change, a pager, more keys than God, and assorted devices on my keychains (including a flashlight and a can opener) all in my pockets. Oh, and my wallet that's also sporting several credit cards, two IDs, a driver's license, several company cards, and about $50. They're gonna stop me for sure. Especially if I head towards a pub or other public place.

And to think that I'm only wearing a pair of blue jeans and a short-sleeved shirt.

No, just the knife, although I would personally let you through with it for the $53. Oh, and the tylenol... after dealing with you, I'm gonna need it.

That's not a canonical spell. The closest one I can think of is Redirect, but that only applies against melee attacks... and its an Instantaneous spell with which you have to hold your action to use.

I'm pretty sure Siege knows what Cutters are. I believe he meant he stopped wondering about the weird gear, because he's carrying nearly impossible-to-get-at nanobots worth 100,000 on the street.

...

That's not a spell description. That's a description for some kind of weird ruleset and/or a bastardized mutation of Immunity to Normal Weapons for a unique being or something.

Doc's $53.

Enough for me to spend that 100 kilonuyen on a reusable way to save it.

Sometimes in the deepest shadows only the knowledge that you could take down a whale stops you from gibbering in the corner.

Ah, a lethal security blanket. See, now that's the kind of answer I was looking for

~J

id spend my 100,000 on one of those troll pistol that your PC that rarely carries a gun carries

also on the pastry, but only because i havent eaten breakfast yet

my combat decker mage light sammy always carry cutters, because i need them for the awakened crabs i keep on getting

It's a pasty, not a pastry.

P.S.: Yes, he's a paranoid and a cloths horse.


Edited to the Nth degree

can ther AVS have a silencer and gas vent, since they work against each other?

also alot of that stuff isnt canon, such as ceramic ares predators and improved gasvents, i think they got ditched with 2nd ed.

You can't tack on armor mods to SecureTech (secure) armor - jackets, long coats, etc. as per Cannon Companion, page 52.

-Siege

Well that silencer on the Ares Viper Slivergun is a nogo.
1) it conflicts with the gasvent (both are barrel mounted)
2) The silencer will only work on SS or SA weapons. The sliver is a SA/BF weapon.

On the other hand, the ceramic mods and improved concealability are in compliance with the firearms costumization rules in Cannons Companion.

Edit: But the Sliver comes from the factory with a silencer on...stupid me. So its the Gasvent that has to go.

The slivergun already has a silencer built-in.

~J

well there is one case of a silencer and a gas vent being combined.
this is a canon example and i have no idea why the gun would need it but...
the Ranger Arms SM-3

Can't you just package all your clips in ziplock bags? It's just one more action to get the gun ready if you do it that way.

There was something ... Shadowrun-esque that I read earlier this year, about hermetically sealed magazines that were resealable: you could load them, seal them up, and inserting them into the gun would break the seal and ready the ammo. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

One assumes for the rifle it simply has a long enough barrel to include both.

JaronK

or the end of the barrel and the gasvent has a silencer screwed on them

Thing is, if you simply had the two one after the other (as JaronK implies), only the first would be effective, the second only for show.

You could have the suppressor mounted over the gas vents/muzzle brake in such a way that all the gases escape at the muzzle when the suppressor is attaches. Or, you could simply forget about the gas vent altogether, because a sound suppressor reduces recoil in almost the exact same way.

Most likely its a unique system that's neither a silencer nor a gas-vent, but has the game effects of both. Hence it not being availabe as an accessory for other weapons.

What do I bring to the meet...

A Coke and a smile.

And sometimes Ted Nugent.

Technically Fygg, a gun is only allowed one barrel accessory. Per canon.

-Siege

Hang on, how does one dikote a plastic knife?

You cast Endure Elements on it first. Or was that in The Other Game?

If you're a preparedness nut, always arrange meets near the local theatre scene...

As a sometime theatre techie, I have to say that almost everything that you guys have mentioned (save the obviously offensive items like guns and real game stuff like nanite cutters) are standard belongings for Theatre Technical staff. Not to mention that they ALWAYS wear black clothing which is, often, very sturdy - so I can foresee the 2060's versions being armoured (and justifiably so).

Forgot something!!!

Locks in 2050+, the mechanical ones anyway are not the normal locks we see around today, which would require the use of a tensioning wrench, these 2050+ version is a cylidrical lock, the tumblers surround the key, not just above and below it, hence no tensioning bar in the 2050+ setup.
