>1) Karma Pool. Is there a point where a PC gets too big a

>you deal with it?
No, there isn't but then again I changed the system a bit.
When my players consult their Karma Pool then the Karma
is actually burned, gone, lost,... no matter how they used it.
This way they always think twice about what they are doing
and how they will do 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.?
No, here again I customized the rules a bit. Everyone gets 1/20 of
the earned Karma to put in their or the team's Karma Pool. However
the 1/20 is additional Karma for the Pool and not subtracted
from the earned mana.
>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.
I considered this system to, but found the above more appropriate,
otherwise players always have to keep Karma in reserve.
>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)?
The usual amount of karma varies from 4 up to 7 depending
on the accomplishments and the roleplay.
>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...
No, I don't. I think karma refers to experience and reputation
and therefore cannot be bought.
>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.
Sorry, got digestive problems when eating broccoli.
I prefer a nice little steak au poivre with a small salad
on the site.
>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?
Sorry, I have little experience on Ghouls. I still have a
lot of reading to do though. Until now, I didn't have a ghoul
PC yet.
>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 have no idea!
>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 about 13 dices fetched in my bag and yes, I also take
the multi-sided dice. Sorry, but they all fit in the same
bag of dice.
>And now, the tenth question on our poll...
>10) If you were covered in bugs, what kind of vegetable
>would you be?
A nice and sweetened carrot.
>All right, class, put down your pencils. Pass in your papers.
>Sign your waivers. Notarize your wills.

>(Bonus question: Heard of these guys?)
No.
