Message no. 1 Has anybody ever tried to run two runs simoultaneously...like they get a
job, but then are contacted by another Johnson? Have your runners ever
declined a job due to whatever reason?

I always keep two runs on hand just in case they decline one, but they
haven't yet (probably a good thing). I like to give my runners absolute
freedom...which means that unless they say the do something....they do
_nothing_

My runners have a tendency to plan as they go...If they do it once more

Message no. 2 out on a run halfway through, and would have second thoughts. It took
us quite a bit to get our rep back.

Still, its a great concept for a group of gamers who are after that
NEW thing that can spice up a game. Its not something tangable, or
someone that is out to get you. It is your decisions making you see
what being below the law is all about when you cross someone.

My GM's (we all seem to go through stints of campain GMing or runs),
have only ever written stuff down relating to a run once or twice, in
really really big games. Most of the time they dont have backup runs,
they just continue to change the story to suit our decisions.

Makes it harder to stump the GM, but the flexibility, and knowledge
that your GM may still be figuring out exactly what IS around that
next corner makes it great fun.

How do people prefer to GM? Question relates to all GMing, do you find
you work better with lots of dice rolls? Minimal combat? No dice at
all? No character sheets? With props? Doing silly voices? It'd be
good to see how different people feel about these concepts.

I for one seem to use very little in the way of dice or even character
sheets beyond the basics. Combat seems to last not to long, and i do
make silly voices to help keep in character. But usually zero props.

Have a great day!

Nature spirits were handled more like the messengers and lackys of their
god/goddess. The major difference is that it takes the same ammount of time
to summon a "spirit" as does an "elemental". It tends to balance a
little
better. Elementals are as they are, except they are a little more willed
than in SR. In SR the only thing a mage NEEDS to do is get so many
successes for an elemental to owe it's services. In ours, unless the mage
has had good dealings with the elements, the mage must compete in a battle
of wills (similar to banishing). If the mage wins he has its service,
albiet resentfully. If he loses the elemental "goes free" and will usually
return to its home plane.

Message no. 3 The other dimension to my style with PBeMs is that I
make very few dice rolls at all. As I said, I'm a
storyteller and I like to see things happen that will
advance the story. So for practically anything outside
of combat, unless I want to leave it totally to
chance, I'll just make a judgement call. It's worked
well so far. Combat, of course, is a bit different -
you can't make judgement calls when you're dealing
with the PCs ("He shoots your character and I
think...yup, I think you should die now."), so then I
pull out the dice.

And yes, I do type in funny voices where appropriate.

Yeah, but the slower guy is getting shot more often, most times. They
WILL run out of pool dice to "dodge" with, but the fast guys can still use
"just" skill dice to attack. In effect, the fast folks will get multiple

Sadly, this is rarely the case. If the drone is a *small* drone, sure, it's
more *likely* to happen, but put even point of armor on the thing (if
possible), and you come up with some incredibly "spirit resistant" drones
really fast.

And, please remember that ramming a drone into an object (by SR rules) can be
incredibly devastating. There are times I keep wondering why I don't just
use ramming rules for missiles and *then* add the explosion, just to be
annoying...but I digress.

Spirits often have a hard time interacting with Drones and vice-

Instead of keeping runs on hand, just construct your campaign
world such that there's always something to do. Hell, half the time my
players end up making the runs themselves, as they have things they *want*
to accomplish. A lot of the stuff they do isn't even for someone else,
they just do it because they think they can make a buck, or whatever. It
works out really well.

I'm not sure, but just amplifying the ping would probably work on very basic
sensors, but it would also depend on the proximity of the objects you are
trying to screen, as a decent directional antenna would be able to ignore
signals outside of its sensing area. Plus higher level sensors, or equipment
with ECCM could process the signal received, and work out wha

This would have had to have been GenCon 96, as I was at 97, and the run
described was most certainly Not the inauguration ball run. (It was
cannonball run, on hopped up steroids. ;)

Must have been the last time there were that sort of promo handout, since
there was no such handout during 97 or 99. (Or 98, though I wasn't there
for that)

haha,,,the last run I GM'd the players didn't negotiate for pay...they
didn't even ask how much they were being paid! When they delivered the
chips to KSAF they were paid 5,000¥ TOTAL! Hahaha, they were mortified!
There was five of them in the first place! Plus they had to pay to get
stuff fixed too...hehehe...it was brilliant! I think they learned their
lesson there...

Hmm...nothing that..._interesting_....but I did have a blimp with an
advert-screen thing on it form a hand on the screen and wave to one of the
PC's...as well as say "We're watching you"...and "Run"...and
"MOVE IT
NOW!!!"

of course...they now burn with the need to find out who owns it, but they
always trust theblimp.. :-)

That and they once broke into a golf course to steal some golf club (the
