Hoi chummer, always room for a true LPer! You're handling the game mighty fine. I never did beat this game, so I'm looking forward to this LP. Is there more to combat than just stand still blasting away until someone drops dead? You should drop by TG, there's games of Shadowrun every once in a while, in addition to endless bitching about the latest version.

As I recall, the Rusted Stilettos are an Ork and Troll gang that lives in the radioactive toxic wasteland part of the Redmond Barrens. They do tons of drugs, are completely nuts, and look kind of like the ghouls from Fallout.

Yeah, in the tabletop version, any fraction of Essence loss rounds up to Magic loss. So, even a datajack is as damaging as, well, anything that costs less than one Essence. This does lead to some weird number shaving, but it's usually never worth it. Unless you're an Adept, in which case the cyberware is probably better than your powers. Poor Adepts  I don't think it comes up in the game, but as you lose essence, you start getting weird and take social penalties, and if you use up all your essence you die. Unless you decide to make a bunch of stupid bargains and use up more essence than you have, in which case you get to be a cyberzombie. Or rather, you get to make a new character, because they're just too messed up for a PC. They're basically what you get when you have so much cyberware your soul fails to recognize your body and decides to leave, only to grabbed and nailed to that catalogue of cyberware you call a body. They have negative essence, and are basically equivalent to a minor atrocity in terms of spellcasting interference and haunting by evil spirits.

On the other hand, heh, there's a relatively rare magical mutation called Shiva arms. It's either part of a set of random mutations that usually turns you into a furry, but there's also a stable new subspecies called Narataki, which get that and red or blue or gold-colored skin. You can totally build a six armed gunslinger, but you have to divide your dice pool uo between those six guns. Best to use the grenade pistols.

I haven't played Shadowrun in a while, and that makes me sad.  On the other hand, Dragonfall was great. I don't really care for the combat system, but the writing is fun and the fuckery you can accomplish with high level Charisma/Decking is amazing. I haven't had a chance to try out the user generated modules, though.

On the other hand, ghouls also exist to run Tamanous, the loving terrifying organlegging and used cyberware outfit. If you're dealing with them, you're probably a seriously bad dude. Or thrifty. You can actually play as the Infected, but it's kind of a pain, since you're basically a walking biohazard. Most of the special metatype options were kinda hard to use. Man, I still remember grinding off those ghouls. If you're here by yourself (or if you don't give a poo poo about your teammates), you stand behind one of those coffins and tape down the shoot button; they get stuck on the coffin trying to get at you. I think 4th edition let you buy artisanal wooden bullets to hunt vampire. I know you could buy silver bullets for werewolves.

I know cloned limb/organ replacements are a thing, at least in 4e. I think Cybertechnology had the actual rules. I always wondered if there were a market for selling limbs for food and getting them replaced, like a really metal version of selling blood plasma. I recall it being super expensive, so probably not. OTOH, it'd be something to throw into the backstory of a street sam, although I'm pretty sure ghouls already eat surgical scraps. EDIT I think the logistics on it were pretty terrible in all senses of the word, it was something like a pound or two of flesh every week or two, which doesn't sound like much but builds up to a huge amount with any length of time or population.

I guess the shopkeeper won't buy the mesh jacket because it's his neighbor's? He doesn't want anything to do with the Dark Blade? Also, I...have no idea if mermaids are a thing in Shadowrun. I know the iceans are probably polluted as hell, though.

Wow, awesome LP. Now you need to play the Shadowrun Returns mod version for comparison, haha. Assuming that project hasn't flamed out, anyway.
