/srg/ Shadowrun General - Bedding Down for the Night

Ghouls can't derive the substances they need to survive from anything but metahuman flesh, and cooked meat makes them sick. With some 'ware to suppress nausea, they might be able to send other food in and out of their body, but it would do no good.

Ghouls can get cyberware, new eyes replacing their blind ones being most common.

You can't rig into metahumans, but there are humanoid drones.

That's not how BTLs works. I'm not even sure you mean BTLs, because they are nothing like what you seem to be thinking of.

You can't feed a ghoul with blood transfusions.

Ok, am I missing something regarding rules for small race weapons ? They have an increased lifestyle cost just like bigger races for adjusting the products to them, but I feel like I read that they needed special weapon somewhere ? I think I will go with a gnome sniper with a bullpup rifle.

its magic

I remember something about increasing costs for their weaponry as well, but I can't find my rulebook and it drives me insane

I live in a Goodyear blimp.

If it's just the cost then I think that's covered by the increase to the lifestyle cost, but I think I read something about some weapons not being suitable for smaller races in one of the books. It was probably an optional rule so nevermind, I doubt it will come up.

You might be thinking of Metahuman Adjustment, for vehicles.

General costs for everything else, including weapons, are rolled into the Lifestyle tax.

Get on my level, I live butt naked in the forrest.

Ah ye, BTLs just so the avatar's original owner doesn't care about being jumped into.

Hm, well we could replace the blood with injecting ground raw meat into her digestive tract.

But I find it quite weird that you can't rig into metahumans.
I mean, actually, it should be possible without rigging at all.

The Sixth World clearly has the brain mapped to completion.
Simsense proves that they can map emotions and sensory inputs perfectly, and cyberware proves that they can map motory outputs perfectly.

So really it should be possible to pilot another human by just using a neural interface and on a willing/unconscious body.

I live in a flying fortress and collect rare birds for fun.

Not sure about prices, but I'm pretty sure run&gun has optional combat rules for creatures sizes. At a glance they looked like they were nearly ripped straight from D&D, so they might have something for weapons too.

Not perfectly, but to the point that ASIST bridges the gap in recorded experiences. The difference being that recorded experiences are fully processed using specialised simrigs and post-production, not live feeds (rigging animals causes them significant distress and psychological trauma). Cyberware is part of the body, but is still often disorienting and requires work to incorporate.

nah, that would allow Brainhacking and most people here get autistic fits if it's suggested

We went there before. Don't follow the Trollman, chummer.

Best Idea for a Pacifist Runner?

A pornomancer.

Full-grapple Nartaki cyber-monster. Just pin corpsec in several full-nelsons at once until they agree to stop shooting your team.

playing a different Game where you don't annoy the rest of the group.

we're taking hacking, as in using tech
manipulate people with tech with heavy restrictions? blasphemy, madman, what else
manipulate people with magic, being able to do so on a large scale, with no chance of resisting and with the mage being able to make you do much more? nah, who cares

Then I recognize you as a fellow man of taste.

Mouse House
Sixth World Disney's mini-arcology resorts, one in each nation. Highly secure, fully furnished, and they'll let you dress up as a pretty princess whenever and wherever you want.

Even if you're a boy?

Especially if you're a boy!

Gnome shotas! Convince Hestaby to /ss/ you.

Hack datajack.
Insert any high resolution ARO you prepared before the run.
Watch the hacked person try to interact with the ARO and possible fail miserable/ be confused/ die.
I let my players create own ARO with the edit action and the victim has to beat the successes of the edit roll to notice that it is fake.
Turns out that decker are pretty good graphic designers.

Ghouls can use cyberware, unless they've changed that again. One of the most common things was for ghouls to get cybereyes so they were no longer hungry hungry morlocks.

Hannibelle eats wimps, sometimes. She just complains that they are 'sterile' tasting.

I wish the Shadowrun rulebook was edited better.
>Have friend make a shadowrun PC, takes hours
>Have friend make a black crusade PC, takes minutes
The complexity is not THAT different, either.

have you tried our own personal Ambrosia, Chummer5?

The next step to Chummer addiction is to track down Yekka. Boy, will Yekka be surprised when people break into his house to snort ground up thumb drives containing C5 off him.

Yes, but they were brand new to both systems and Chummer isn't the best teacher.

Have you also downloaded our personal Panacea, the Hayek sheets?

Its is however the best tool at hand
Short shilling for HeroLab. HeroLab is much better.
Not saying this to negg yekka or anything.

trollspin

you mean
TEACUP RIDE

I have not, is that the painfully colored cheat sheets from the pastebin?

Do you think there's a yelp for shadowrunner teams?

>painfully colored
?
not seeing it
I mean the ones in the mediafire
5e -> Hayek Sheets

I dunno user, what would the shadowyelp say about your runner?

So I'm working on a campaign ghat I'm going to set in a slightly different Sam Francisco, where instead of the canon Mayor an Anti-Jap mayor gets elected. The Japanacorps are still just as intent on making the Bay Area a new North American base of operations, but the public opposition is much more violent and much more supported by the government.

Since the two characters already build are heavily Anti-Jap, I'm thinking about having them start off doing runs for non-Japcorps looking to stop them in the Bay (mostly Horizon and Azteca) or anti-Jap militias, and slowly become sort of leaders of the resistance if they want. I want the BBEG to be the bred-management Regional Manager of one of the Japcorps, probably MTC. A sadistic bitch, reveling in being stupid rich and enjoying how upset the Bay's populace is.

Does this sound any good? Should I try to bring in the CFS at all, or let the Bay be more or less a free city?

>This runner has no reviews yet. Be the first!

>when you can make a Synnibarr character in less time than it takes you to make an SR5 one, despite only knowing the latter system
You know it's bad when the tabular clusterfuck is faster to make characters with.

>"He did the job, broke into my house, murdered my dog, all to get that last 20% escrow money. Found out later he'd poisoned most of my neighbourhood and his entire team by accident with ringu. Too many corpses, would not hire again."

The problem with cyberpsychosis is cyberpsychosis and the GM letting you play whatever you think a fucking lunatic might do.

>Geeky decker, who digged to deep in some corporate network and now has to hide in the shadows.

>Face, who is a giant coward in every situation he didn't set up and can't control.

>Support shaman on the search for lover/friend, who run in the shadows and gone missing on a run.

>Street Kid, who thought to try his luck in the shadows but realized on the run, he isn't ready to pull the trigger.

The Man With One Hundred Cyberdicks

"Make love, not war!"

>one hundred cyberdicks

That's not love, that's just destruction

>Am confused. I Thought the advertisement said runners, but I'm pretty sure I hired Halloweeners.

So who replaced Kenneth Brackhaven as Seattle governor?

The entire Dawkins Group, jammed into a single incredibly wide trench coat and fake moustache the size of a large bear

I really wouldn't be surprised. "And your weight concerns, governor?" "That's healthist!"

Who needs a security detail when your fake moustache is a piasma?

What kind of clothes would be good for a technomancer to wear on a run? Like, fluffwise. Photo references would help.

Basically you want to look like someone who isn't hacking things with their brain.

A shirt that says "Wanna see my deck?"

Damn that's good.

Oh, cool, it's the original cheat sheets but just in a better color. Bizarre.

Don't hire, they're obsessed with explosives.

>Chummers, this guy is a ghoul. He ate my friends and stole my commlink, 0/10 would not run with again.

YEKKA, HORSE MENTOR SPIRIT DOESN'T GIVE YOU MOVEMENT POWER IN METAMAGICS

STOP TAKING AWFUL MENTOR SPIRITS
It's a known issue, I've just been super lazy with implementing the conditionals necessary for it.

I'd actually prefer you don't fix it, that way nobody takes such an ultra shit mentor spirit.

>STOP TAKING AWFUL MENTOR SPIRITS
BUT I WANT TO GO FAST

SEDUCE A WILD SPIRIT OF FAST THEN

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM MENTOR SPIRIT

On the one hand, being a tourist at a Disney resort is really good cover. On the other, how the hell do you use that as a base for running? Do you have to find a safehouse in every city to keep all the highly illegal gear?

GO FIND A CENTIPEDE SPIRIT

THEY GO FAST

So good guys are good because they're American, fuck the evil sadist slanteyes?

Not a bad plot, but pretty one-dimensional for a cyberpunk game.

Also, how are they part of 'the resistance' if SanFran is already free, electing anti-Jap mayors? The runners are just racist shills for Horizon and Aztech at that point.

>He thinks horse is ultra shit
>he hasn't seen the new Lion, which totally isn't a shittier wolf, we swear

At least with Horse you can maybe break the sound barrier, if Horse' power is back.

I got to 123/243 movement with Horse.

It's pretty great.

...

Sneak in and alter the suit of every costume employee to have a concealed weapon. People will think you're trying to molest goofy, but in reality you're tearing out an assault cannon even he didn't know was there. He just thought the suit was really heavy.

Ahahaha
Original?

mangago.me/read-manga/grand_blue/nbt/v01/c003/pg-18/
Next three pages.

>People will think you're trying to molest goofy
oh how the tables have turned.

You could probably hide a lot of shit in Tomorrowland and people will just think you came out of the toy shops with a little paintjob.

I only just noticed the dad's face under the goofy mask. Jesus fucking christ.

"I am a FOMORI, sir. Carrying this Ares MPIII and its underbarrel dwarf carrying an Onotari Arms JP-K50 is my CULTURE. Are you, perhaps, a racist? An elven APOLOGIST?"

Shedim mentor spirits.

Jesus christ.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

IT COULD BE A TRAIN OR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF AN OBSOLESCENT WORK ANIMAL
Anyway, doing some shenanigans with it now. Should make it into the next build.
Best manga is best

I'll level with you, I use GB for everything because, well, if you added heavy weapons to GB, it'd probably be close to the off hours of most shadowrunner teams.

God, just thinking about the size constraints makes me well up a little thinking about how families of goblinoids manage to fit into the same car in certain rides. It's not as much of a problem on Splash Mountain, but what about Autopia/Cars and Small World?

And now I wonder if there are any meta face actors.

>Greatform vehicle spirit: Phantom Train

Sometimes CGL DOES do something right.

Try this on for size: Party van gets kacked on the road, gets into about three streets of running gunfights until the driver manages to boost a vehicle. Hatchback. Troll mage hanging out the rear hatch for dear life while the decker tries to plug a dozen holes in the face with a can of spray-meat (tm), using a cut cardboard box as a stencil.

...

I actually kinda hate that it's a thing, but most of that book is ashes in my mouth anyway.
Fixed-ish for the next build. You won't see the Critter Powers tab because that currently unlocks the ability to take extra critter powers, but the power will show up in prints.

>I actually kinda hate that it's a thing
Well, magic adapts to environment, and if there are internet wizards, spirits of nuclear power and urban paracritters, why not ghost cars? There ARE urban legends about them already, after all.

>just 100
git gud
