As you all know, I am new to SR, and I have some questions about what is
exactly allowed in the world of 2053. I am still running Elven Fire which
is set in Seattle, and the question came up of what weapons the characters
are allowed to have visible (not conced). Are there gun-toting runners
walking down the street on the average day in Seattle? What kind of law
enforcement is present at all tims? Are there cameras and stuff hidden
near sidewalks to capture wrong-doers? After seeing Demolition Man, these
kinds of things don't seem to far fetched anymore. Anyway, I ruled that
if runners don't want to attract any undue attention to themselves, they
better make a good effort to conceal their weapons. No AK-98s. They both
packed Ares Predators and Palm Pistols with concealable holsters.
Also, about using contacts: during the adventure, the runners went back
to one of their apartments and simply used a vidphone to contact all of
their contacts (they both have middle lifestyles). It seemed okay to me, but
it was too easy perhaps? Are they really supposed to pound the pavement (it
seems pretty archaic to me)?
Thanks for you advice,
