>10. Your alias is Loki.

9. You keep bringing a copy of Bug City to the gaming table, even though
the runners aren't anywhere near Chicago.

8. It seems as if APDS ammo is hard to come by, unless you're an NPC.

7. You have one of your runner's closest contacts/buddys join the Universal
Brotherhood.

6. The character with a legal SIN is declared dead by a computer glitch.

5. You start to use phrases like "It appears to be..."

4. You bring an ample supply of fudge to the gaming table.

3. This phrase sounds familiar: "Roll a perception test, target number
really high."

2. You listen in to the player's planning to get ideas to throw against them.

1. Roll 36d6 behind GM screen for no reason. Chuckle.
