"We fixed this issue by adding another very specific rule with an associated unique dice roll" really is Shadowrun in a nutshell.

I've finally caught up with the thread and just wanted to say thanks to Kanfy for doing these LPs. I picked up the games in the GoG giveaway and I've been reading through each one a little behind where I am, usually after I finish off a run. It's been great to get a few extra details filled in since my character doesn't always talk to everyone all the time. I'm curious to know what speculation is about the dreams. My own theory is some corp has developed a dream machine and hidden it inside KWC, probably because they want to raze the whole place and redevelop it. Although I have realized that's basically a Scooby-Doo plot.

I feel like if everyone at the table knew every rule exactly and what their dice pools were off the top of their head the dice rolling wouldn't be as bad because they'd move fast. But with a normal group just starting out it's gonna end up extending things a lot.

But because it's Shadowrun, his method of pretending to be a ghost either summons a bunch of real ghosts or turns him into one, so there really is a supernatural monster inside anyway!

Envisioning Fred as a seven foot tall troll shaman trying his hardest to fight the "uneducated brute" stereotype, Velma as "basically just Is0bel", and Daphne as one of those street sams that doesn't actually know where the trigger on their gun is. Shaggy and Scooby would be 100% unchanged, they fit in Shadowrun just fine.

Shaggy as a dog shaman with Scoob as a totem that has an interpretation of providing protection to be running the gently caress away from everything spooky

Broken Box posted:Shaggy as a dog shaman with Scoob as a totem that has an interpretation of providing protection to be running the gently caress away from everything spooky I mean, it's a very practical response usually. If you aren't a shadow runner or trained in combat, your best interest is usually getting as far away as possible from whatever it is that's trying to blow up the building this week.

girl dick energy posted:By behavior, Shaggy is a shoo-in for a Raven shaman, of all things. Easily bribed with food, paradoxically both greedy and generous, avoids combat whenever possible, dislikes dark, enclosed spaces. Shaggy has no problem with combat, it's the supernatural he's utterly terrified by. Show him a regular dude threatening to kick his rear end and Shaggy will just put him down.

Scooby is actually an Adept with chi abilities focused on movement boosters, investigation skills, and a weird linguistics thing who just happens to hang out with a Raven Shaman for completely unrelated reasons.

Do I even want to know what the Shadowrun verse would make of Scrappy Doo? I’ll leave speculation to those who know it better than me.

Just caught up on this thread. I'm really liking HK over Dragonfall overall...the missions seem so much more intriguing, as well as the overall plot.

This was why I rolled up a Mage for Hong Kong when my usual default back in DMS and DF is a Rigger with just enough Magic for Heal Wounds and Charisma for Eagle Totem, Haste, and Etiquettes. As a bonus, I named her Aurora Glimmer, Street Name Starlight. Not badass at all, ain't it? nightelf_37 fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Nov 13, 2021 |

There has to be a niche for weird masochistic BTL chips, possibly those are less addictive than the common stuff. also on lower than true BTL level there has to be pain intensifiers/diminishers for every kink level.
