GhostStalker posted:I forget what the BTL subplot in Hong Kong was at the moment (unless you're talking about the thing regarding your character's foster father and how his mom was attempting to control him using them) but I do remember that the lore mentions that one of the main sources of income for some HK triads are BTLs specifically known as Kong Chips, which are cheap, low quality product turned out quickly and with little of the safeguards that normally come with regular simsense, and then shipped across the world. There are also CalHots, BTLs made in the California Free State (I wanna say the San Fran area?), which are simsense chips that are just on the far side of legal, with safeties just over the edge, which seems to be one of the major high end versions of the product. Reliable Matthew Who has them prescribed by the closest thing the hub has to a proper doctor.

JustJeff88 posted:Firstly, who is Lars. J. Matthews and what did he do to be a marked man? He was a guy who cut a deal with Big D for protection. Big D dies, this happens. It's a ruse that allows Lars to fake his own death easily and take on a new identity now that his protection's gone He also donates a classic car to a guy who's car he accidentally crushed with a bit of building trying to scratch an itch.

It could also be in the books so when the GM wants to make an NPC baddie they can do it with the proper stats and mechanics.

AmishSpecialForces posted:I have a question about essence loss. A character in one of the later games Racter, the half-chrome psychopath in SR: Hong Kong found a way around the typical essence loss effects. What's stopping a TT group from announcing 'We're like that guy, we can have all the chrome no problem'? The character in question was pretty interesting but could be a one-of-a-kind deal. You could bypass the social aspect of essence loss by not being the social guy, if you're uncouth with poor charisma it doesn't matter how much you're made of metal, you just don't like talking. The rule of 6 (hit 0 and RIP) still applies though. Also a lot of GMs don't think of essence beyond "Still got 0.1, yeah you're cool." e: the social penalty is a 5e thing. Losing essence reduces your social limit which can be a problem if you're chucking 20 dice at negotiation but can't get more than 4 hits maximum.

Alacron posted:Was this mission added in a later patch? The only time I played Returns was right after it came out and I don't remember doing this at all. It's optional and you can only do it at this time so there's a 50% chance you just missed it.

Skypie posted:Shadowrun's mechanics really encourage that kinda stuff, though, since you really need to go all in on your specialty to be effective. Plus it also rewards system mastery and knowing what little goofy things you can do (like using a microdrone with satellite uplink to bypass the Signal 0 restriction on, say, an enemy's smartlink gun if you wanna hack it and gently caress it up) Being a cheap specialist mage who can actually afford to live in an apartment instead of being "Hobo with a Wizard Staff".

painedforever posted:I may have said this before (I have a tendency to repeat myself), but I really liked Dead Man's Switch. The campaign is pretty linear, but it does such a great job of introducing you to the gameworld. I mean, I know nothing of tabletop Shadowrun, but Shadowrun Returns just eases you in. And your player character has a definite personality thanks to the speech options. Kinda like in Alpha Protocol with the Suave, Professional and Agressive responses... although here its only for fluff instead of being a core game mechanic.

Randaconda posted:That's every Shadowrun PC in every TT campaign I've played in. Difference between Table Top and Video Games is that the Table Top version will allow options to gently caress up in ways video games will never be able to match. Outside of maybe Breath of The Wild physics fuckery.

Oh, that's uh... I misinterpereted that. Sorry I think it's because to get his opinion low enough (-8) I think, you have to have been a smartass before. If you were professional before you met him he'd have a small positive opinion before you talked poo poo for the next 10 minutes
