Dunno, never got to that point myself (Just recently began playing
Shadowrun again, after an absence of many, many years. :)
>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.?
The current gaming group seems to be following the half-karma rule. And the
starting karma is 1 for everyone, if I remember correctly.
>3) More Pooling Around. Do you even use the pool? I

I use the pool. Haven't used the karma burn bit, yet.
>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)?
I'm not the GM, so... :)
>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...
Haven't seen this happen yet. Sounds kinda flakey, except maybe a one-time
deal, like winning the lottery or something.
>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.
Stroganoff actually not that hard, but to do it right, you have to have a
few things available that people who don't spend a lot of time cooking,
probably don't have. :)
>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?
No idea.
>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)?
I am unable to answer this question. Not because I don't know, but because
it would be unfair. (I'm Canadian myself. :)
>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?
I have a small bag of dice with approx. 15-20 dice in it. I bring the
multi-siders because they're all in one bag, and I can't be bothered
sorting them out beforehand.
I was actually looking at getting a bunch more 6-siders, but I found these
'Jumbo' dice from Kapoc that I like. Unfortunately, I can only get them in
packages of multi-sided AD&D dice, and I really don't want all those
four-siders... :)
>And now, the tenth question on our poll...

>10) If you were covered in bugs, what kind of vegetable
>would you be?
Thistle or leek, depending on my mood at the time.
