I'm planning to run my characters through the UB module, but due to
shipping constraints, it's possible that I might not get the actual material
until the night before the actual run.

so could a more seasoned GM ***PRIVATELY*** mail me and educate me on the
finer points of the plot line? again, **PRIVATELY**, as half or more of my
group reads this list, and the last thing I could stand is the secret
spoiled for them.

I'd appreciate the time this would give me to prepare for what I hope to
be a great adventure.



(ps): privately : )

I'm terribly sorry.. I've been silently watching the list for a while
observing the ettiquette, but did I do something wrong? go ahead and tell
me if I made a mistake, please, as I'd prefer not to be left in ignorance,
silently irking others.

It's just that Geek Codes are bit, um, passe here... I mean, ShadowRN was
one of the regular forums Robert Hayden used to write it. I have my 0.9 Geek
Code lying around somewhere in my archives of my uni unix account.

But mainly it's just that your geek code describes a true geek who doesn't
think he is one.

[snip huge amount of unneccessary message reply.]

Glad to see you are admitting things to yourself, george. Now, what the
hell did this have to do with what Neil asked?

Now go sit in a corner for a time out.

Oh forget it. I hate counting that high.

I won't go into actual Missing Blood happenings, I'm hoping someone did
respond off list. Plus, if you can read it once, you shouldn't be too badly
off, esp if you just use it as reference during the game. :)

Keeping in mind that UB is the intro for the bugs in to SR.....

First of all, remember to emphazise how horrific the bugs are. I've always
stressed to any magical on the team will that they seriously creeped out by
the astral view of the bugs or their environment :> Even magicals without
astral perception found their skin crawling. :)

Information on the bugs is not to be found, not even in the more esoteric
places. Someone asking around about this type of thing will be reacted to
like they are nuts, or on some pretty nifty sims of the Fly from the late
20th century. ;)

Most of the people associated with the universal brotherhood are freindly
beyond belief, many/most without even suspecting the UB has a deep dark
secret. Auras reflect their open and friendly nature. (It's a very
different matter inside4 the bug's hisey hole....)

Fhaolan grumps and deletes the message unread.

temptation. ;)

I know the feeling man, I know the feeling. Especially since it's my GM
