Finally, a list of questions the whole family can enjoy...


1) Karma Pool. Is there a point where a PC gets too big a
pool to handle? I.E. they're always succeeding at tasks
that should be reasonably tough (TN 9-12). If so, how do
you deal with it?

2) Karma Pool Again. Do you follow the rule that meta-
humans gain karma pool at half the rate as humans? If so,
do they start out with 2 karma pool, as in 2nd Ed.?

3) More Pooling Around. Do you even use the pool? I
know one group (probably more) that don't; instead they
burn good karma to do the same things as the pool would.

4) Just Plain Karma. How much do you typically give
out for runs that you make up (I recently bought Eye-
Witness and Double Exposure. The karma awards are
way out of line with what the GM section says you
should get)?

5) Karma Fer Sale. Do you use the Cash for Karma
rule, and vice versa? If so, what do you use as the cost?
The "upscale campaign" example the SRC uses is kinda
crazy...1 point for 1000 nuyen...

6) Mmm....foooood..... What should I have for dinner
tonight? I was thinking of a Stroganoff type meal, with
broccoli, but I'm quite a bad cook.

7) Ghouls. A while back, I posted a bunch of questions
about ghouls. One was never really answered, and maybe
someone with T:UCAS could help me out. What happens
with a ghoul PC and cyberware? What's the deal?

8) Canada. Without looking at reference material, I.E.
anything at all, who's the current leader of our country,
and what's his title (don't cheat...this is a public awareness
poll...and no, I haven't a clue who the Australian Prime
Minister is)?

9) Dice. How many dice do you usually take to a gaming
session? And do you take those multi-sided AD&D dice,
even though you know you won't need them?

And now, the tenth question on our poll...

10) If you were covered in bugs, what kind of vegetable
would you be?


All right, class, put down your pencils. Pass in your papers.
Sign your waivers. Notarize your wills.
