I'm going to abstain from voting but I'll cheerfully thank the devs for making the physical adapt a much more fun choice this time around. If you're playing along at home you may want to try a ridiculous troll adapt build.

I lost my grandma recently and it was not unexpected but hard, if I suddenly lost both my best(only) friend and companion *and* my entire identity I think that I'd be an inconsolable sobbing wreck. Duncan is taking this in stride, and it's not really spoiler to say that he is ready for action on the next (first mission)

I imagine that every once in a while some well off failson tries to get in for the action, probably leaving the 6th world within the first hour or so.

It also establishes that anyone double-crossing the triad and not properly covering up will come to envy the pitiful old man who got roughed up. Ain't nobody loving with the Yellow Lotus Triad, nor more to the point dear old Aunty.

Just to reiterate: no edition is actually good, if you wish to play just grab your favourite RPG and modify it. It's a lot easier than trying to fix Shadowrun's ruleset.

As you may remember from from Eiger's mission and Glory's on the last game destructive cults are a definite thing in the sixth world. That said, unlike Lovecraft you don't find them under hiding every rock and behind every evil scheme. Kind of a rare thing, a lone toxic shaman is a much more common problem.

True. I was remarking on the rarity of such cults, not the destructive power. Aztech is arguably the biggest destructive cult to ever rise on the planet.

You don't need an excuse to hate on the Megacorps but Aztech is practically writes phonebooks full of reasons to start fighting.

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.

Must be pretty rare, considering that the metatype lineages are partly genetic IE: an ork union usually begets orks and the occasional mainline human.

Ibblebibble posted:Sounds dope, as a Malaysian I'm used to us being forgotten about in sci-fi/fantasy stuff set in Asia which is almost always Japan-centered. Actually since the Malay identity and culture changed so much in the last 600 years I think someone should really use it for inspiration for some epic RPG, most fantasy games deal with cultures that stayed roughly the same for millennia so there's new ground to cover here.

There are definitely some interesting people you meet and have a chat with and then never see again. Quite a bit more realistic than you'd expect in a crpg.

The sixth world has a tremendous disparity between the rich and poor and also advanced technology and magic so I'd assume that the sheer scale of different drugs manufactured for different niches would fill an encyclopedia. If I were to GM SR I'd just rule that if you can define a need then someone is making drugs for your taste. Maybe make some rules about the quality vs. cost. I.E. Premium uppers probably don't crash you as hard and won't destroy your heart.

GhostStalker posted:There’s an equipment package in 5th Edition’s Run Faster sourcebook (it’s the base rules supplement) called the Instant Army PACK that has injectors of K-10 and cheap assault rifles, for when you just want to round up some gangers, give them guns, shoot them up with combat drugs, and then send them at their enemies. If nothing else the bundling of assault weapons and possibly mind loving combat drugs sums up the mood of most of the sixth world.    Cheer up everybody, we're not there yet!
