For stuff like we saw in Dragonfall sure. But for a big public spectacle like those in Aztlan? You want some notorious murderer or corrupt official or anyone else who'll get the crowd cheering as a Sun Priest rips their still-beating heart out of their chest.

Including whatever Aztechnology middle management people want to blame for accusations of blood magic. It’s just corporate restructuring, you understand.

Most likely fighting vampires since if there's one thing the Azzies love it's vampires. Could probably make a good anime out of that.

And well should they be! Catholics stamped out the Aztecs in one world, but in this one they couldn’t stay dead! Just finished the Dragonfall LP. What a ride. Thanks for the LP. I will soon start reading this one and hopefully enjoy similar excellence. Thanks in advance for that too.

There's probably also some neo-Aztecs (Aztec revivalists?) Who would very much like to destroy the central authority that brutally runs everything and has no tolerance for any differing opinions about how the religion could move ahead.

Don't mess with the Vatican Jesuit Ninja Force. When they say they have the power of god on their side, their shaman isn't just talking poo poo.

You’ve got to know the Vatican Archives have all sorts of mystical stuff that they give to the Order of St. Sylvester when they need to get some poo poo done, especially deep into Aztlaner territory, occupied or otherwise.

Finally caught up with the LP series. Been months since I started with DMS. Man, what a great ride. Thanks, Kanfy and the lore buffs, for making this an enjoyable experience. I've been thinking why these SR LPs are so good and I think I got it. Kanfy struck a perfect balance between interjecting his own style and humour and letting the game speak for itself. The mechanics explanations and completionist approach are a great bonus, too. Kudos! This is really great. Now, I've been reading the series after work since it was basically the only free time I had and the pacing was just great. I tested positive yesterday and am stuck in a 14 day quarantine, and now that I have all the free time in the world, I caught up, hah.

Thank you for the kind words, it's always tricky to gauge how something reads from the "inside" but I definitely do my best to maintain a good flow through the updates so it's good to hear it's made for smooth reading. Fortunately the games do most of the heavy lifting for me, especially by this stage. And sorry to hear that the plague got to you, hopefully everything'll be alright and you won't have it too rough. There's no shortage of great LPs in the forums and archives to dig through in the meantime at least. While I'm here, feel free to give your input on our feelings concerning this whole shadowrunning business if you like. We can also establish whether we believe Raymond to be alive or dead with one of the last two options. This is just another minor bit of characterization so there are no major consequences to the choice or anything.

The best thing about Vatican ninjas is that by being part of cannon you can run a campaign around getting to say, "they won't arrest/capture/kill us, we're on a mission from God." E: we got arrested before raymond could rehabilitate us. We live by the law of the streets: a head for an eye and a face for a tooth.

Nothing better to do and Ray's dead and someone's gotta pay since I think I believed he was alive when I played, mostly to try to be optimistic and help Duncan feel better.

Option 5 for me. I think Shin's loyal enough to do that. Or would consider helping Raymond to be a debt paid at least.

Look, you can probably re-SIN someone (with a new and otherwise untarnished identity) for not more than 25-50x the cost of destroying it in the first place. So: you never know.

Hey now being a troll has nothing to do with your upbringing or your DNA, it's all about finding who done you wrong and performing some sickass dental surgery with your fists.
