Hi guys. I was on this list a while back have obtained home access and have
cemented JD's homepage into Netscape. Must resist ShadowMush.

Quick background.
-----------------

Im Nate (real name Nathan but got Nettified) yup another. Any problems with
the name I also answer to my runner name of Rayles. I spell as badly
as my barbequed name sake and as fer grammer well as long as you dont sneek
up on you she wont knee cap ya with her spurs. I live run and in England
and moi eeeenleeesh is apaulin.

Group History.
--------------

Current group all previous **&*ers. I converted them Mwahahahahaha.
One game under our belts loadsa problems but were learning. Am currently
running my own game. Have only justed introduced meta's as a character option.
No spell chuckers or shaymen. All Decking and Magick is done via NPC. I
have been reading Shadowrun and Cyberpunk for a couple a years now but I
still dont have a clue on how to GM the Matrix.

Get on with it.
---------------

okay so my first question to you bunch o bad ass's and ass'ettes.

I have a Street Sam who has been arguing black and blue about mounting guns
on her Harley. She keeps wanting to use her smartlink, and she wants moveable
guns tied in with it. She says why not, I say coz she will crash. Comments
please. Also what are the modifiers on fixed weapons on vehicles? Someone
in our group thinks coz its bolted on it doesnt need stabalizing and recoil.

second. We have had arguements over ammo and weapons. Why not use AP all
the time in Fully Auto weapons if it steps up damage levels?

While skulking around Alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo I came across a great excert
from a story called Big Fish Little Fish. In it there was 3 tech items of
interest that had me wondering if anyone had come across or designed.

i : Impact armour. A lite wieght padded aromour that hardens when impacted
ie, melee, falling of bikes etc.

ii : Fly Armour. Sticks projectiles to itself absorbing the energy.

iii : A very high caliber heavy round sniper weapon (strip gun or summin)
hi magnification sight. range 400 - 800 odd kilometers at a guess.

Anyhow. Have to scoot off to run the game. Damn english weather its just
started pissin down.
