Hi all!
Along the way about the net I have picked up:
"The Shadowrunner's 10 Commandments" and
"Murphy's Laws on Shadowrunning."

If anyone is interested, I can email a .txt or postscript copy of these two
items. They are just the ticket for something to hang on the back of those
custom GM's screens you might decide to build......

I'll take a copy. Maybe you could get someone with a site to repost them.
The archives maybe? Lets face it everyone could use a laugh once in a while.

I would like to get-a-hold of these two items, if people don't want them
posted to the list, could you email them to me?

Hi Spike,

Sorry, no can do. I haven't asked the list supervisor about it, and don't
really need to bother him. I can just as easily send a copy to whoever
wants one. Don't cost me none.

List supervisor? What are you talking about?
Anything to do with shadowrun can be posted here (except binaries and things
like that).
I picked up the "Shadowrun Christmas" Rhymes from here in December.

Go ahead and post. You've had 2 people request you post it and a few more
requesting e-mails....

Sorry, I haven't asked permission to post something like that to the li=
st.
It's not my 10 commandments, and posting to the list is a little too
public. Nothing wrong with sending a copy to whoever asks though. :)

The ShadowRunner's Ten Commandments

I. Deck thou not over thine home telephone wires, for those who
doest will surely bring the wrath of the Chief Special Agent down upon
thy head.

II. Speakest thou not of important matters over thine home
telephone wires, for to do so is to risk thine right of freedom.

III. Use not thine own name when speaking to others, for that
every third "other" is an FBI agent is well known.

IV. Let not overly many people know that thy be a runner, as to
do so is to use thine own self as a sacrificial lamb.

V. If thou be in school, strive to get thine self good grades,
for the authorities well know that scholars never break the law.

VI. If thou workest, try to be an employee and impressest thine
boss with thine enthusiasm, for important employees are often saved by
their own bosses.

VII. Storest thou not thine stolen goodes in thine own home, for=

those who do are surely non-believers in the Lone Star Security Forces,=

and are not long for this world.

VIII. Attractest thou not the attention of others, as the less
noticeable thou art, the better.

IX. Makest sure thine friends are instant amnesiacs and willst n=
ot
remember thou hast called, or from where, for their cooperation with th=
e
authorities willst surely lessen thine time for freedom on this earth.

X. Supportest thy contacts, as they are thy information pipeline=

Yeah, post away, so long as they're not 100k or something it ought to be
fine. I for one would like to see them, and I'm sure others would too.

Murphy's Laws of Shadowrunning.

1. You are not Superman.
2. Keep it simple stupid.
3. Automatic weapons - aren't.
4. Recoilless weapons - aren't.
5. Suppressive fire - won't.
6. Incoming fire has right of way.
7. If the opposition is in range, so are you.
8. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
9. If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
10. When in doubt, empty your magazine.
11. A friendly force 4 elemental is great for intimidation, unless
the opposition has something that's force 5.
12. The chance of a vehicle breaking down is directly proportional
to your need for it at any given moment.
13. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
14. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.
15. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
16. If your run is going really well, it's an ambush.
17. No run planning survives contact with Lone Star or Corp Security.
18. The only thing more accurate than opposition incoming fire is
friendly incoming fire.
19. Make it tough enough for the opposition to get into your flop,
and you won't be able to get out.
20. When you're short on everything except people shooting at you,
you're in the barrens.
21. Lone Star invariably attacks on only two occasions, when you're
ready for them, and when you're not.
22. A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
23. A head shot means your personal camoflage sucks.
24. Watch your back, conserve your ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal
with a dragon.
