you should be a human or ork or dwarf adept and then cheat in enough karma to do matrix bits. can even keep the 6 magic w the cyberware affinity thing i fuckin love this drat game. i believe its a contender for the best character writing in a game, or at least serious contender for second compared to disco elysium or third compared to planescape you should name em zeke shif, street name shifu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_kung_fu_is_stronger_than_yours?wprov=sfti1) bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Dec 8, 2020 |

On that note, if it's not gonna spoil the game, what are things like in 6th world Australia and the rest of Southeast Asia? the wildlife is even more australian. aboriginal peeps have more mojo but iirc they werent able to pull off the stuff the native americans did sydney has a mana storm and is a city state, which actually got mentioned last game rest of sea would be mild spoilers bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Dec 8, 2020 |

i change my vote to vote for shin black as full name nobody actually in korea in actual life would name their kid this but it is a properly outrageous hong kong name, like some of the ones we will see in heoi  and thats as spoilery as saying that hong kong is on the coast, they have those outrageous names in real life right now bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Dec 9, 2020 |

apostateCourier posted:Lorewise, cuffing the mage doesn't do poo poo. They don't need their hands to melt you into a puddle, they just need to be able to see you (sense, really, but sight is the most reliable). Kind of a shame that isn't modeled- one of the biggest nightmares of dealing with mages is that until they are dead they are a threat. An unconscious mage is a mage that might get you via ritual later if you left any physical evidence behind. Always geek the mage, and geek the mage first. there's magecuffs and magemasks that will actually do the job in the tt crunch. if you don't send them to mage jail somehow and dont geek them they might geek you by ritual later yah bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Dec 29, 2020 |

one of the reasons this game is also amazing is it's a marvel of project management. if they didn't have the chutzpah to cut all sorts of poo poo out of the tabletop game this thing wouldn't have gotten made. and if the story wasn't really great the game would suck. but the story is great so they spent the right amount of money on the right poo poo

basically scry-and-die in a game without teleportation. defensible by all the old gm tricks for fuckin w scry and die peeps. off the top of my head, counterambushing, traps, telling the pcs to knock it the gently caress off if its pc's, magic defenses specifically for that sort of thing they put a fair amount of detail into disallowing the explicit clairvoyance scryanddie so just go further also you would prolly have to get, like, a clear from the corporate court for ares to actually use the thing on someone who's not a nobody like a runner unless they want corporate war bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Dec 30, 2020 |

i enjoy them but everyone has to be into it and then it has to go wrong moderately but not totally, which is p hard to gm its like in heist movies where a plan that works you cant tell the audience but a plan that will fail you can tell the audience. boring otherwise
