If you can fit it in, yeah... there is a size restriction, you know.

Maybe you can try a tractor-trailer. You can create the world's first fully
moble shaman. Ha

>From my understanding of medicine lodges, one must "attune" the lodge to
the magical energies of the enivronment around it for a number of hours
equivalent to the rating of the lodge. You could put a small lodge in a
car (possibly) or a limo... However every time you moved the car the
lodge would have to be reattuned (major pain).

This raises another question that I have. If you place a medicine lodge
and attune it to a specific site and then move the lodge, but do not
attune it to a new site, and return to the attuned site to place the
lodhe again does it have to be attuned again?

Find a car big enough and I can't see why not. Unusual, but I can't see=

No shit, man. :) Friend of mine in RL has a VW minibus with so much
shamanistic/fetishistic/hermetic shit in it I swear the sucker could be a
lodge:3/library:3/talismonger shop on wheels if translated into shadowrun.
Even the shit hanging off of his reaerview mirrors has significance magically
according to him. :) Anybody out there ever read Divine Right's Trip? hehehe

Yes, because you "broke" the lodge to move it.

Magic! Magic! Magic!....oh sorry. The first thing I do with almost any game
system is head straight for the wizards. In shadowrun, I really like all
the different characters, with the exception of riggers. They are real wiz
for other people, but I get frustrated with the financial aspect of it, and
the fact that you can't always stay in the car. I tried a rigger once, and
most of the time got my vehichle blown up. Or, I fire two or three
missiles, or a couple of rounds from a machine gun and burn up more nuyen in
ordinance than I make for the run...and don't have any nuyen for my car...or
hospital bills.

Actually, this has been brought up on the mailer in the past. It is
best to keep each topic on a seperate post. If the questions being
posed are short, don't complain - it's less for you to read. :)

Also, just a note: "Simple Question" isn't really all that descriptive
of the subject matter contained within the post. (I know you didn't
write the subject header in question - just pointing it out for all to
take as an example.)

Justin :)

And Elven private detective, product of Redmond, trying to make it..

I find that private detectives are one of the best characters; having to
think about what you know and piecing it together OOCly. Blah blah

My only problem with using a character's name as a handle is which one
do I use?

SR--
Worlock (shape-shifter mage - it was a _fun_ session)
Black Rose (Physad with a penchant for the finer things in life)
Samhain (a slightly unhinged street mage -fire adept- who rivaled most
sams in melee)
Gunthar Blackfoot (a mercenary mage who was closer to a shaman..)
Shade (former corporate sec. mage)
MAXX (ork ganger-turned merc)
Concrete Feather (Crow shaman who liked to sit atop his abandoned
building and play the guitar)
Wraith (the decker I never played)

Rifts-- Shadow, Melgar, Cobol, Tor-tch, Brand, Goth, Serak, Talos,
Calamar, and another Wraith...
ad&d--Tsunis-kai, Lokosh-Og of Clan Bakur, Gedo of Aramoth, Krag
Iron-Bone, Aesath...
Various WoD games-- Cloak, Speaks-With-Shadows, Pawn, Simon "Fox" Black..
Misc.-- Gron (Robotech), SIM-98 (StarWars), Nog (ED)

I think I'm forgetting some...

MC23 is based on me which in turns feeds MC23. Since I've been using
MC23 for my penname for 5 or so years now, it applies more to me than the
character if that makes sense. I've been online a little over a year but
I had NO question about what to use. I am MC23.




Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal
names more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves,
they answered to another name, because if another discovered their real
name, it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
