Overqualification, baby.

They're hardly going to get anywork cause noone is going to think that they
can afford them; and their reputation is obviously so high that every one
and their hellhound will be out to get them. That's bad news if your a
potential Mr J.

We had/have Karma Pool, but my players never bothered to use it, and i
never bothered to tell them they could. :-)

>2) Karma Pool Again. Do you follow the rule that meta-

Yes. No.

Depends. I've done some pretty fucked up runs (a Demon just ripped your
Million dollar condo apart by looking at it ) where I've given characters
12 points and more; but that is the upper limit.

>5) Karma Fer Sale.

No.

The Australian Prime Minister is John Howard. Please, don't get me started.

>9) Dice. How many dice do you usually take to a gaming

>even though you know you won't need them?

Lots.

I don't play AD&D but I have multi sided dice in the same jar; and some
Warhammer 40k Dice too.
