brilliant stroke of ignorance last night as I tried to go to sleep. We
seem to always just assume that the only way for people in 2054 to
increase their muscles is to get Muscle Replacment or Muscle
Augmentation. But hte fact of the matter is that those are pretty darn
expensive. How will the gangers and street trash mulk up?
My answer is this: steroids. Yes, they are bad and mean and nasty and
ugly. Trust me, I know. I lift weights religiously, and I know people
on 'roids, and I've triedd everything shorts of taking 'roids (somehow
the thought of having cancer and being sterile just doens't turn me on).
But I should think that by 2054 _some_ of the negative affects of 'roids
would have ben eliminated. Not to mentionthe fact there is alrady today
and dmillion dollar industry that produces weight gain powders, amino
acids supplements, chromium picolinate, and borderline stuff like
yohimbe (an extract from an african tree root that puts the produciotn of
testosterone into overdrive. Very powerful. I know from experience.).
With all this in mind, what about steroids for shadowrun? I'd really
appreciate any and all comments on this. But please, don't tell us about
how steroids will mess you up. I think we all know enough about this. I
mean hell, I still remember Lyle Alzado being a mere ghost of what he
once was, then dying. Not a pretty memory. But if anyone has anything
productive to say, then bring it on!
