Although, I would imagine there is a bit of conversion going on. Some, if not all, of the adventures you are playing are from first or second edition Shadowrun. Fourth edition timeline starts at 2070, so you guys are about 20 years behind (2052, I think).

Sorry. That was a long time ago, and I have trouble remembering if I locked the door when I leave for work in the morning. However, knowing my friends, they probably nuked the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Although, I seem to remember an attempted infiltration of the UB, but I don't remember if that was successful or not.

WOW ... Queen Euphoria. That brings back memories. First edition Shadowrun goodness.

Couple good ones from my Eberron campaign ---------- Cast: Bastion: The last Warforged to emerge from the Whitehearth Forge before it shut down. Gueybum Fistmonger: Male Dwarf Bard Nayalisha: Female Changeling Rouge masquerading as an Elf. Porsche: Female Halfling Wizard ---------- Bastion has just bloodied his opponent, which triggers one of Gueybum's powers. Bastion: I bloodied him! Gueybum: Congratulations. Have 4 temp hit points. Enjoy them in health. GM: Enjoy them in hell? Gueybum: Why am I here? I have temps! ---------- The party is aboard a ship headed for Xen'drik. When the Captain and Nayalisha met, the Captain put the moves on her. She picked his pocket while he was close to her. Her prize was 10 gold and one key. The key opens the door to the Captain's quarters. She enters the Captain's quarters surreptitiously, with hopes of a romantic interlude. Captain: Do come in. Nayalisha: That's my line.

There's one in every group So, I'm starting a D&D 4 Eberron campaign, and I had a sit down with my players to get their thoughts on character backgrounds, where they want to go with the campaign, and what they see as their epic quests. Everyone had really good ideas. Based on the discussion with my players, the story patterns I can exploit encompass self-discovery, revenge, and the journey ... and then there's that one player. When asked about his character, he replied, "I'm playing a Dwarven Bard named Gaybum Fistmonger. His epic quest is to seek out two bardic, epic relics: the rusty trombone, and the skin flute." We all had a laugh, but he maintains that he is serious. Remarkably, none of the other players have a problem with this, and honestly, neither do I. It just means I'll have to stat up a couple bardic, epic relics.

Re: How to deal with a multiform pregnancy? You may also want to consider that, contrary to the dire warnings about intercourse from your high school sex ed. teacher, unprotected sex does not guarantee a pregnancy. I have personal acquaintences that have been trying for years with no success. And as far as I know, they are the same species and opposing genders. However, if they're going at it like rabbits, and you want to impose a morality tale on your players, then burden them with parenthood.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Problem is, I don't have a favored game system ... what kind of pie, exactly?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Drhoz, I feel your pain. I've never had players walk out on me, but I have had players complain badly enough to ruin everyone else's enjoyment of a game because they come upon a situation where they have to use their brains. Some of my players just want to blow stuff up and not think about it too much. I have had to give up on otherwise awesome systems due to this phenomenon. Millenniums' End is a great, if dated, game, however it was doomed to fail for my group because it requires the ability to investigate, follow leads, and deduce probable scenarios. Just the kind of thing a D&D 4 player never has to do. Eclipse Phase died on the vine because my players couldn't handle the cerebral aspects of it. Luckily, my Shadowrun players thrive on that sort of thing, so I can make them think a little. Like you, I give them plenty of clues, and even out right suggestions as to what might help them out, but like you, I get ignored. Then they complain that it's impossible to complete the adventure because they've been out maneuvered, or out gunned. Had they had the capacity to use common sense earlier in the scenario, they would not have painted themselves in to a corner in the first place. I commiserate with you. I think your players will come back to the table eventually. Give them time to cool off. It's hard loosing a character you have spent so much time developing, even in a system where you are expected to loose your character, like CoC. Mjolnir74

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... A little personal . . . ---------- The Sitch: The GM and the players are discussing what kind of characters we want to run in the upcoming Kazei5 game. I have run female characters more often than not in this GM's games. ---------- GM: What kind of character do you want to play? Me:​ (Perusing the book, I see the Puma and automatically think of Dominion Tank Police): A Puma! GM: OK, what gender? Me (Still thinking of Ana and Una Puma): Female. GM: Is there some reason you like to play females? Me: It's because I like the ladies -- GM: And you secretly want to be one? Me: What can I say? I'm a lesbian trapped inside a man's body. GM:​ . . .
