Ummm, can I ask why not?

I wasn't actually going to continue the thread... it's not a shadowrun
topic, per se... Though the adventure possibilities of a whole bunch of
rich wackos getting together to off themselves could be an interesting plot
hook for an adventure

(Assuming the GM has the stomach for it)

I was thinking bad taste. A bit like making Challenger jokes before the
wreckage hit the water.... But then, It *was* a long time

Hell, I'd do a child-porn simsense ring if I thought the rest of the
players would dig it (they'd certainly waste EVERY bad guy in
sight)...... But taking real life issues that closeley, and that soon,
seems a little tactless.

Sorry, it's just that I've heard far too much about those dopes offing
themselves, to ever want to hear about it again. Good riddance to em...

That's all.

Good night!
