one, eh?
If you've ever played Rage, these are my Rage adaptations for Shadowrun.
If you haven't, um....these are my Rage adaptations for Shadowrun. The
game isn't radically altered, but the changes will incur a change of
strategy. In fact, you might actually even find a place for Skillsofts.
Setup:
Objective Deck
Just like normal, choose a minimum of 6 objectives with a total value =
of at least the game minimum. =
Runners
Select any number of runners with a total deployment value of 25¥.
Challenge Deck
Select a minimum of 20 challenges for your challenge deck. =
Supply Deck =
Select a minimum of 25 gear, contacts, locations, and specials.
Play:
It works pretty much the same: You run for objectives and are
blocked by challenges. The differences are as follows:
Your trash never recycles. Dead is dead, gone is gone. The only
exception to this is the challenge deck, which recycles as normal
Shadowrun.
You start with five cards of your supply deck in hand, with a maximum
of six. You get 4¥ a turn as normal, but if you use the draw-up option,=
you only draw up to five(and then a sixth). =
Whenever someone declares a shadowrun, all other players draw three
cards from their challenge deck. Players then play their challenges, up
to the maximum, on the objective. Afterwards, the players place any
remaining cards in their hand in any order on top of their library, or
in the challenge trash, or a combination of the two. After the
shadowrun, regardless of whether or not it was successful, all
challenges on the objective are trashed.
Recon lets you look at the top card of someone's challenge deck.
Browse lets you look at the top two.
Your supply deck may not contain runners. Your challenge deck can,
but since you could only bluff with them, that would be a little strange
a choice.
Some cards, while allowed, are pretty stupid. Ex: Mr. Johnson.
