Hello all,
well, i have seen some people saying that the boards have been
getting quiet i nthe recent times. Well, there's still plenty to talk about!
Shadowrun is afterall a game, would we all still play it if it wasn't fun and
memorable? i think not!
Well, to fix the slow down in the lines.. i have something we all can
talk about. Now i apologize if the boards get too flooded, but if they do,
then it's good that we're all talking again....
Everyone here probably has a game going, or has...or is going to
at one point in the near future. Let's talk about our old gaming memories.
I'm sure that there are a lot of old runs we can talk about.
There's the runs, the people you're playing with, the PCs, NPCs.
Nearly anything that has to do with the game, and playing it would fit
in this category.
Well, i'll leave the dirty work up to you all, and I'll post again later
with my
groups and friend's gaming experiences. Hope to hear some interesting
events..

Improvisation is one of the biggest things my gm is good at. This forces us
lowly PCs into creative lines of thought and action. Example: Small
extraction run on tall building 45+ floors. target is unwilling but a
stunbolt is quite effective. Security is allerted and seals all exits,
stairs, maintainence shafts, elevators you name it it is closed. So with no
way out i begin to think 'creatively' (GM is still winceing that he let me
do this, Thanks Hal). blow open window on 37th floor hold target close cast
Physical barriar under me as a flat plane and tilt gently down. viola.
instant magic slide. as the barriar was center behind me and tilted forward
and down i could slide down it. as i slide down it it moved along with me.

OK maybe a little ... off but it worked and was friggin fun.
