Okay, one: No one knows my sex and i prefer to keep it that way.
two: Who gives a shit what a man or woman percieves as
acceptable, stupid, or whatever!? This is stupid.
Three: I am still putting the stuff together on Vegas and am
trying some of it out but I'll just plce on here if no one minds.

Also, I need some ideas on a genetic\alien type monster
for shadowrun. A crawl through a sewer reveals what the corp. did not
want found. So the runners are hired to kill it, but ultimatley it'll
probably kill them.

One. Sorry, but I *do* care. Everything else out for the game is
written by men, and I wanted to see what a woman would write.

Two. I still want to see your take on Vegas.

Three. Genetic thingies. Patterson's Guide to Paranormal
Animals of North America has a few critters. Ice/Fire Drakes and the
Fideal. Shadowtech mentions a couple more. The Bloat and whatever the
thing is in the picture that The Smiling Bandit posted about 3/4ths of
the way into the book. Paranormal Animals of Europe has the Otter. I'd
say just run with it.

Four. With your first name being Johanna, I lept to a conclusion,
my apologies if I was wrong.

Just a random thought... But what about the monsters in Alien? Or Predator?
Both, played right, would make a formidable opponent for a team of runners.
Exoskeletons, camoflauge, add in a little cyber or bioware... Very nasty.

I wondered about the subject... :)

I would prefer Predatorlike enemies... Rythetium Polymer suit, Vision enhance-
ment, Smartlink-like Targeting system, Lots of Physical Attribute bonuses
due to special race, ...

It should be a very tough bugger, if you want him to fight a whole team!!!

I did it once with a kind of golem... I gave him a power like damage resistance,
which did only 1 box of damage for a medium wound, 2 boxes for a serious and
3 boxes for a deadly wound. Mental damage did not harm him in any way!
It was a REAL TOUGH FIGHT!!!

Here's another idea, but only *if* you have the Cyberpunk
2.0.2.0. Chromebook 2.
Those full body cybers in the back are *deadly*!
My team tangled with one. . .
We all lived, but it was close.

As for the Aliens in SR- I figure that's about what the bug spirits
are.
