>Who do your runners support
Whoever does them the biggest, latest favor.

> Democrats
What? A socially conscious Shadowrunner?
Good, though-they're soft on crime.

> Republicans
What? And let the corps rules the world?
Good, though-firearms laws are less restrictive.

> Technocrats
Like Emperor Bill Gates? We are facing a reverse of the
splitting of the Roman Empire, as the Constantinople of Redmond merges
forces with the Romoe of Silicon Valley.

> Green party
A slumber party with hormone-crazed virgins.

> Various poli clubs
How about various polo clubs? Like Pres. Ralph Lauren.

> the BOB lovers
Leave Hayden out of this.

> The Dunklezahn for President party.
Beats the "Dunklezahn for Dinner" party led by a couple of
wacko elves.

> The Barnie the Dinosaur party (AHHHHHHH)
Will probably be sued for using all the melodies from the
Dunkelzahn party.

> Do your runners ever get into that horrible plot of politics?
Only the Munchkins, since guns just generate bad PR.
Also, it beats that horrible plot of dirt that all runners
end up in.

> How much they affected by it?
Depends. Imagine if the Brady Bill was actually passed, or
if it was extremely restrictive. Then all of those shadowrunners would have to
sit at home and watch the Brady Bunch all day, eventually buying NERPS for
Life and getting a house call by J. Kevorkian (who could be an entropy vampire
and might be alive in Srun. Right, Rev?)
Dan.

Sistine Chapel's ceiling).
