C'mon Bubba, tell them....:)

Steve's in a shadowrun group I run, and currently he's got a voice talking
to him in his head. He ain't magicly active, and I won't tell him what I'm
doing.... It's making him nervous and Bubba denies it ever happened...:)

Tell them your side, Bubba.... C'mon.... I dare ya... ;-)

OK, OK, I know when I'm beat. Sheeesh, you introduce a new player to the
world, let him GM a few times and he turns on you . . .

If any of you saw the new Former Hick Archetype I posted a while back - I've
been playing him in a new low power campaign we've been trying.
His name is Bubba, and he knows nothing about Cyberware, Magic, and very
little about the city. His main claim to fame is that he's a big dumb ox who
follows orders well, and is too simple to try to screw any of his teammates.
Anywho, one night, Bubba's sleeping on the couch and he starts to hear VOICES.
I'm talking live in your brain, make you eat babies VOICES in his head.
He's been having dreams about Dunkelzhan too.
I'm starting to worry. . .

Bubba's Gamemaster grins evilly...>:)

It's good when a guy who thinks he knows everything about shadowrun and owns
every Shadowrun product is suddenly confronted with something that isn't
FROM a sourcebook or novel. He's worried and paranoid now.... I love it...:)

Well there are several situations I can think of that would account for this
situation..All of which should make you follow this bit of wisdom..Be afraid,
be very afraid..By the way has your group been complaining about not being
able to pull off the perfect run?? Oh never mind..forget I mentioned it..

Just remember..you can't kill them all outright..you have to stretch it out a
bit..so it at least seems they have a chance... ;)
