Hello everybody.

I´m Daedhel again, and again I have some questions for you,=
Shadowrunners.
A friend of mine is going to London next month and he wants to visit some
good RPG shops
could anybody posbly give me some addresses and/or names(PRIVATE MAIL)?

Now questions about SR
I don't Know if it is a trouble of the spanish translation but in page 250
(BBB about
docwagon ) I can read (more or less) that with the platinum card you get two
free
resurrections. Is it possible to resurrect in SR universe? and what is the
normal cost ,if it is
posible? ( not a very good idea IMHO).
More discussion about DocWagon, what are the cost for high risks=
responses?,
what is the range of the service? (only the city, or wilderness too).
And one question ,very important in my Country(Spain) now, what´s the
matter with
terrorism in 205x (specially with ETA) have they adapted to the new times,
terrorist shamans
and hermetics( or dragons, glub) ? what do they attack now, corporations?
What do the
corporation think about that (surely they don´t like it)

Sorry for the burst of question =)

CU, and Thanks in advance.

*chuckle* What DocWagon does is pretty far from Thy Olde Clerics of
Yore ;) They are talking about CPR, cardio-pulmonary ressusitation
(I'm not an EMT, if someone could correct me, go ahead, but I think
that's the definition). It's a form of heart/lung massage, where the
EMT or any other person with the knowledge tries to "jump-start" a
failing heart, and/or lack of breathing. It's pretty mundane,
exists already, and doesn't involve prayers to your patron diety :)

Doc Wagon only operates within it's jurisdiction. If you have a
Seattle contract with them, and you get shot up in a country that
doesn't support DW franchises, then you're outta luck. (I guess
Africa, Asia and most of latin America would qualify). Check out the
Neo Anarchist's Guide to Real Life for the real paydata on Doc Wagon
and it's operations.

Hmm... dunno. I don't think the political situation of Spain is
discusted in any SR novel or book. My suggestion would be for you
to make it up... Hell, write it down and make your own 'net supplement
;).

Actually, the word is Resuscitation (sp?) which means to make you breath
again. basically, it means they can save you if you've taken overflow
damage but are still alive. Otherwise, that costs extra. :]

That's reaslly up to the GM... I don;t use it much in my games, so no real
big deal... But it's City wide, and they don;t go into the wilderness
often...:]

IMHO this refers to saving your life once you've reached Deadly damage, or
have gone into overflow.

High-threat response adds 5000Y to the medical bill. BTW _the_ source for
DocWagon is the Neo-Anarchists' Guide to Real Life, which has a whole
chapter and good game stats for DocWagon. The service extends to about 40
km outside of Seattle, IIRC, but they don't have the 10-minute guarantee
there.

Well I had a hard time finding any good RPG shops in central London
that wasn't a Games Workshop store .. but then I found a store called
"Orcs nest" unfortunatly I can't really remember the exact address to
it as this moment in time but I'll take a look at home ...

There is no AD&D resurrection in SR .. If you are dead your dead and
that's life .. or was ... :) ... What it means is that DocWagon comes
and picks up your bleeding body two times for free.

Can't recall this but if you caugh up some serious Y's they probably
pick you up almost any place you go ..

Who knows pretty much up to you but I guess they go for the same
thing most terrorist go for ... civilians, corp and things that will
make the six o'clock news ..
