Anyway, a thought crept into the dim recesses of my mind the other day...
drugs are a BIG part of the street scene even now, right? Drugs are a big
part of the streets in every major visualised cyberpunk setting, right?
(I'm thinking of things like Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive here...) So why
is it that our street-born shadowrunners refuse to touch the stuff? The
only character I've ever seen with any kind of drug use is my boyfriend's
decker character - a 60-a-day smoker.
Why does no-one ever make their character a drug user? (Yes, I know that
we all know drugs are bad for you, but that's player knowledge... street
characters would still be hooked on every pretty-looking chemical they
can find...)
