| Greetings fellow Shadowrunners, (and ThunderCat friends)
Ho! :)
| B4 U ask, I'm a newbie (sort of).
| I've been reading the list for about three weeks now. I guess I decided
| it was time to introduce myself.
Welcome. The Bull Bot will be along shortly.
| 2}==> a. I'm thinking about joining the ranks of truley(sp?) sadistic
| and inhumanly evil GM's...What i need to know is exactly what I need to
| start a campaign (besides players...). I've got: SR2, Awakenings,
| GrimoreII, SR Companion, Street Sam Catalogue II, ShadowTech,
| Cybertechnology, and the Dunky Secrets book. Is there anything else I
| really need?
| b. I'm always looking for new ideas, so any that you might want
| to contribute are OK by me.
The sourcebook doesn't make the GM. It's all attitude, style, and
experience :)
The truely Evil GM is exemplified by his ability to challenge his
players, and their characters, to their limit. If he's also a Good GM
then everyone has fun and actually enjoys it. The EGM can also
challenge the players and PCs on any level (not just combat). The
EGM's game should be a roller coaster ride, on a roller coaster that
changes as it goes from one hill to the next.
In short, all you need is the BBB (see below :). I'd recommend that
you get Virtual Realities 2.0 though. Other than that being
subscribed to this list should give you all the material you need.
Here's a freebie toy: the chunky salsa grenade. Take a grenade and
quicken a mana barrier to it. Set the mana barrier to go off as the
grenade does. When the grenade goes off the mana barrier springs
into place around it (at a radius of 3-6 meters, depending on the
force of the mana barrier). The blast from the grenade will be
reflected back and forth within the mana barrier reducing everything
inside to a fine paste.
Here's a freebie idea: contacts can be a pain in the ass for a
character. If that armorer that's the only source of ammunition for
the character is in debt to the mob and asks the character for
help... <EGMG>
| 3}==> What is the BBB? Where can I get a copy? Thanx
The Big Black Book, i.e. the SRII main rule book.
