Yup. 10 karma pool and the PC is definitely a threat to game balance. 15
and you have troubles. 20+ and you may as well go home...
>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.?
Well, I'm currently in two groups. In one I'm not sure, in the other we use
2nd Ed rules.
>3) More Pooling Around. Do you even use the pool? I

That's an old SR1 rule; I've never played in a group that uses it.
>4) Just Plain Karma. How much do you typically give

>Witness and Double Exposure. The karma awards are

>should get)?
We usually get anywhere up to 10 karma for an adventure, depending how long
it takes and how much work we've done. This is also very dependent on the
GM, and our old group locally really escalated in karma awards, which was a
bit unfortunate.
>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.
Curry. ALWAYS Curry.
>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)?
No idea who Canada's PM is (I know it's PM though). Australia's PM is a
short irritating conservative little bastard who's utterly laughable and
it's embarrassing to have your country associated with him.
>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?
About 60 dice, including all my AD&D dice.
>10) If you were covered in bugs, what kind of vegetable
>would you be?
Brussel Sprouts.
(Utterly irrelevant and not-ObSR-fact: Did you know that broccoli enhances
sperm production in male humans?)
