well, i could have told you that...i tried to have them do more role
playing, and i always thought shadowrun should kinda parallel detective
like stories...find out who's doing what to whom, and either help or stop
it...

SOME armed forces may have internet, but it has never been at any of the
ones i've been at...well, actually, they do have internet where i am now, but
a) its in from the internet only....no outgoing stuff
b) you have to REALLY justify being on it, be doing the right
job, have the right office, etc etc etc...plus i think you have to sign in
blood....all in all, in an organization of several hundred, we only have
about 15 people with access...and IN NO WAY am i eligible...
