Time to get that world developed!

Your runners go to on of their dosses, or to a bar with a trid... something
to get entertained!

What show is threatening "The Odd Coven"'s position as the #1 sitcom? Does
anyone news station seem trust worthy? Any Illegal channels?

Is there a hot topic, say a recent kidknapping, on that there trid?

What about hot simsense titles?

Share with the group so we all can benifit. And I shall add my two scents
when I'm down it!

I write Power Rangers Fanfics.

Well, the obvious response is to say check "Shadowbeat." Damn but that
book has turned out to be worth the money I paid for it. Except for the
fact it still has the worst cover art of all the books.

Aside from that, best thing to do I think is to make parodies or spin-offs
from popular television now, or to say there are actual reruns of some
programs. Make it up on the fly.

"Friends" becomes a tale of six mismatched best friends that just so happen
to be...trolls that live in the sewers! "Dharma & Greg" adds in the fact
he's a corporate wage mage and she's a nature shaman, always summoning up
little hearth spirits for silly little pranks (and gratuitous nudity and
sex of course). "ER" becomes a drama about DocWagon response teams and
trauma wards. Fiddle with the names a bit and you've got something that
your *players* can relate to and enjoy.

>Is there a hot topic, say a recent kidknapping, on that there trid?

Make it up as you go along. This is a fun place to throw red herrings at
your players.

>What about hot simsense titles?

Um...Debbie Does Dallas, Detroit and Denver: the Early Years, part 12?

>I write Power Rangers Fanfics.

Lord, grant me strength... ;-)

Nah. I'll say "swah-vay" or a close approximation thereof!

Mine's not old enough yet ... so shh... don't tell anybody about the
hidden directory mapped to X: on his deck ... ;)

Actually, the decker (Elf) in question lives with an ex-simstar turned
rigger (Ork) in an RV ... and no, they're just friends ... kind of like a
brother & sis relationship ...

Anybody messes with her, and the decker'll muck with whatever datatrail
you've got ...

Anybody messes with him, and the rigger'll muck with whatever bodily
functions you've got ...

Here's an actual in game quote from my co-GM, where he was the voice
of one of the runner's home telecom unit.
"Good morning. You have six-thousand eight-hundred eighty-three
messages in your Inbox. Filtering advertisements. You have seven
messages in your Inbox."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I like that. Need to use it myself. I had
forgotten entirely about advertising! How silly of me. THank you for yet
another way to torture my characters. ]:-)
