Full Version: Sleeping Tiger Clothing
I've been reading and re-reading the description for Sleeping Tiger clothing in the CC, and no matter how I picture it in my head, I don't see how it could look anything but retarded and unwearable. How could it possibly be considered executive wear? Did the Awakening also destroy everyone's sense of fashion? Also, what the hell is a 'power tie'?
i actually like it because it doesn't match today's fashion mores. i get tired of the "cleverness" of having 206x fashion trends being "retro" 200x fashion (though i understand why it's done--few people want to play someone who looks stupid).
it is apparent, though, that trog fashion is basically retro-80spunk.

Power Tie - (current trend 2063) A suede necktie, often narrow, with a cascading texture scheme and a jewel or logo insert on the knot. Reversible silk and suede designs are gaining popularity with Manhattan jet-setters.
Well...thank you.
So...is a swede tie a tie from Sweden?

Just the skin. It's tanned in New Jersey.
Hey, I don't know ties. I dress like a trog.
And I spell like one.

Did you somehow miss the 80's? Power ties are ties worn by yuppie executives to enhance their image and appearance. Since most corporate dress codes precluded wearing anything fashionable (unless you wanted to throw away money on a Armante suit, and even then, it was just a well-made suit), the middle class/upper middle class businessmen tended to wear fancy silk ties made by the top names in fashion. It started to get ridiculous when ties started to cost more than the suits. The trend stopped around the early 90's, but there are still a lot of folks who get expensive ties to impress their boss or coworkers.

Well, when you were born in 1987, its kind of easy to do so.

Saw that one coming.
Man, next thing you know, you'll start asking what the word "grok" means or who George Harrison was...

I'm pretty sure Armante doesn't exist...

*smacks forehead* Damn you, Shadowrun! I meant Armani, as in Giorgio Armani.
I was born in 86... and I know what grok means. So combined, we win!
Score! Take that, you fogeys!

It's all about the 80s, really.
I liked the '80's! That was back when I was still alive. 
I like how 2050īs Shadowrun was more eighties than the eighties.
2050's Shadowrun, especially the first half, was like an MTV video of a Rock collection. Ah, good memories... 
Yeah, every runner looked like they belonged in a heavy metal hair band....
Something I donīt miss a chance to remind my players of. Yesterday I played a "memory run" with two of my players, detailing their first meeting, back in -56. So funny imagining a minotaur in a pink shirt with yellow rectangles, white shorts, and a yellow jacket with fake jewl buttons in different shapes and colours. 
Yep, early SR was what happens when you take the 80s over-the-top. Scary thought.

There should be rule where every full five combat actions you waste on guitar riffing you get a karma point or something. It would lead to firefights where the whole team stands around riffing.
Shadowbeat needs bonuses for mullets. I mean, they've already got them for sasquatch.

Wounded, then you'll get a virtuoso adept that runs around doing masterpiece guitar riffs.
All the artwork in the centering section of the Grimoire book had mop-headed elven mages doing guitarr riffs in them, if my memory serves me right. 
Bet that Adept that took the Only when wearing a Mullet Geasa on all his powers back then wears a Hat a lot now...
CORRECTION.
It is
not a MULLET.
