O.k. you wanted a challenge here goes;

1) A Hairstylist/Barber (everyone still needs haircuts)
2) Pharmacist (legal or otherwise)
3) Garbage Man/Trash Collector (someone has to do it)
4) Clown (you know the kind that does silly shows at children's parties)
5) Street Performers
and for the challenge ...
6) A mime (they don't really say much ... but the GM would have fun
playing charades [sp?])

Just getting a little silly here

C'mon, let's get real.
Most of these are quite simple.

> 1) A Hairstylist/Barber (everyone still needs haircuts)
> 2) Pharmacist (legal or otherwise)

Take the Bartender's stats, and just alter his professional skill.
Works the same for pretty much ALL shopkeeper types.

> 3) Garbage Man/Trash Collector (someone has to do it)

Again, just change the skill on the Dock Worker contact.
Hey, they both move heavy items.

This would actually be a GREAT contact to have!
Anyone remember the Burkingmen in Into the Shadows?
You can learn a lot about people from their trash.
A little Dumpster Diving can be quite revealing!

> 4) Clown (you know the kind that does silly shows at children's parties)

Simsense Star Contact - lower the Charisma, and add skills like juggling,
balloon animals.
This is a nice contact to have when you need to sneak into a corp enclave
for an extraction.
"Yeah, we're here to do the Villier's boy's B-Day party .... Oh those?
Squirt guns ... the kids love 'em!"

> 5) Street Performers

Assuming you mean musicians, just take the rocker archetype and lower the
skills and remove all nuyen.
Most street rockers start this way, and it also gives them a reason for
running the shadows.

This would be fun.
Stats can just equal the Simsense Star, or even just the Pedestrian.
Skills would be Mime, and IMO Annoy.
In 2058, I can also imagine some mimes would have some decent combat
skills.
Hey, you'd learn to defend yourself too if every sammy that walked by
wanted kick yer ass! ;-)

Any more? These were too easy.
I was hoping for something that might make me break a sweat ... ;-)

LOL! I would love to see the look on the player's faces when a mime
starts kicking their ass! Haha!

Nah ... I usually have the Domino's Driver, or the baby sitter kick the

To hell with stats, just pick up an assortment of dice and roll. :)

I understand now. :)
I guess you could say to hell with dice too. Just turn 'em loose.

Is that better?
Am I becoming an evil GM ?

No, no, you need the dice for a sound effect. Just don't concern yourself
with how many pips are on the top of each die.

:P
