Our gaming group has been trying to compile some universal (slightly
satirical) rules of Shadowrun. Our list is very small....

1. Never rely on the pictures in the Sourcebooks.

2. Given a mechanics rule, FASA will break it in a module.

3. Never expect a Sourcebook until you find a new novel.

4. Take a FASA module, add a Mr Johnson, and you have betrayal and a
dead Mr. Johnson.

Any additions? :)

But is it a Light, Moderate, Severe or Deadly allergy? ;)

Wrong. If you have to fight your way out, you've screwed up.
