Hmm wel she sayed a number of times that her int was to high so she didn't have the
disadvantage of getting stuk in detail ..

Find me ONE Gm in my neiberhood that wil alow that (since we only got gurth that question
was ment as a joke =)
> A. Way too much emphasis on combat in your games?
As gurth sayed in his post we have a High caracter death rate
Since we aren't realy good at tactics,surviving, all the other stuf
Caracters tend to die a lot (espesialy mine since i normaly play the combat monster)
And now i get 3 difrent way's to die
1: rigger dump shock
2: decker dumpshock
3: getting shot,clubber,smashed,blown up, other wize damaged
Hmm i think i'm going to get a acountent caracter gurth alway's sayed if you don't want
your
caracter to die make an acountent with a normal job =)
> also a black belt in a very challenging martial art.
Witch one ?
I play racquetball
Thats squas right?
. I rock climb, hike, canoe, and on one insane occasion, I jumped out of a perfectly good
airplane.
Cool where do you live? since none of those things (exept the airplane part) you can do in
my country

Ok when can you get here? since i don't realy think any of those things are in our group
in
great helpings.. =)
Any skill. I had a player effectively use a Violin skill once.
O gods don't remind me a player with us had a flute skill she made more money with it in
one concert then we made in 2 runs =)
Most of my players buy Theatrical skills now. Can you say

Wel if you want to move over near vlissingen i would love to have you in my group
I'll explain a bit:
We got about 8 ppl who normaly play shadowrun and no more then that, there are other ppl
who play roleplaying games but since they are also adicted magic player not a realy good
adision to out group, and yes we tried and no it didn't work =)
So we are stuck with these lets say 6 ppl who usialy show up
2 of them are usless
One is just there for the coumpany, he's one of those player who doesn't give a fuck about
what happens to his caracter, and uslialy hides behind anything handy when the shooting
starts
The other on is wel..also like that or over reacts to a simple situation
The other ppl have there favorite type caracters and rarly take anything els (and with
some
this is a good thing, one plays a face realy wel becose he's a kind of face in RL)
And ppl do chance to difrent caracters but return to there "normal" arctype fast
So any advice? =)
