is of any value, I'd cast it against the "Implosion" spell as well. I
mean, you get one bozo Kamikaze mage willing to take a deadly drain for
the sake of a terrorist organization, pop that sucker off at level 6,
and *whoomp* there it ISN'T... I mean, there isn't a Space Needle, or a
downtown, or maybe the whole Sea-Tac metroplex. Just one big, sucking,
nasty mana vortex.
That's the kind of damage any self-delusional terrorist would just DIE
(pun) to be able to inflict as a last act "for the cause."
On another subject entirely, Hr. Hayden...
"munchkinious" ???
What the hell does THAT mean??? :p
Oh, and, glad you're not dead. (!)
And, to Mr. Falk, admin... I mised that spot in the FAQ. I'll look it
up again (as I should have in the first place.)
And a final 2 cents: on the Dragons issue... somebody mentioned the
idea of a several-part module featuring the dragons. I was most
intrigued by the concept of the runners caught in a feud between two
dragons. The biochem snatch-wreck-and-destroy routine could be done
with any corp or group, not just dragons... but, on the other hand, a
dragon feud could be a tremendous way to bring in all sorts of outside
elements, from Yaks to Aztechnology to even Humanis members, all as sort
of "decoy" enemies for the runners. Hell, with not more than a little
bit of imagination, it would be easy to cause the runners to unwittingly
flipflop from one dragon to the other, as a sort of wildcard pawn over
whom each one tries to keep control. The runners could never even know
they were pawns in a dragon feud (until, of course, the EXCITING
CLIMAX). Imagine the surprise on the part of the runners when, without
ever intending to do so, they find they've broken the first rule printed
in Shadowrun...
Never, ever cut a deal with a dragon.
Just my own vague rambling thoughts.
