Folks,
We can't just get rid of the UB. They are one of the few true
Nemesis' of the Shadowrun universe. I believe that Lisa Simpson said it best
when she said, "Even Maggie has that baby with the one eyebrow."
Everyone has got to have something they can't beat. If we destroy the
UB then the ShadowTk characters have simply become too powerful. This is the
kind of a thing where we should fall flat on our a**es. Shadowrunners have a
lot of pull in how political actions take place, (i.e. protecting candidates,
blowing up policlubs, etc.) but I don't think we have the power (or the right)
to completely obliterate an organization like the UB.
Mind you, I don't agree with the UB. I think they royally suck and
would like to see them get wasted. But, personal opinion aside, as a
gamemaster, I wouldn't allow it to happen in my game. (I would just sort of
play around them.)
Also, there is more to the UB than just buildings and organizations.
These are insect spirits, are we actually going to go around and banish ALL of
the insect spirits out there so that there is no possible way the UB could
come back. (Damn, that'd be a good storyline. Oh, sorry, for a second there
I forgot I was against destroying the UB.)
Anyway, Even if Chicago does become "bug city" I don't think it's
right or safe for us to alter the FASA Shadowrun world so severely.
Thanks for listening.
Brad
