Given that Shadowrun is more consistently grim and deadly with its ways, but in a world of cybernetics, why is dodging bullets stupid? Cumbersome sure, given the steps, but I do think PC's, Pro rat 6 guys, and Prime Runners should be able to dodge bullets. Because it's a grim and deadly setting and...

So instead of the stupid carrot and stick approach that SR5 did and fucked up royally, why not just say that all your equipment talks on the matrix, and it's fucked up, an invasion of privacy, and it's so ubiquitous that there isn't a whole fuck of a lot you can do about it? Say my character has a ...

Physical line of sight, or physical contact? Not that you have to see the lock, but you have to see the door with the lock. Which means throwing a black bag over your head does in fact block you from popping the lock to your cell open unless you can touch the door. Also, don't use the fancy electron...

For magic, consider what might be a comparable skill: Teaching people to land jets on aircraft carriers at night. While it is possible, in theory, to teach almost anyone to do this in fact this isn't a commonly learned skill. For one thing, it requires that you first learn to fly a jet fighter, whic...

A more modern take on the Soverign AAA megacorp is the citizen corporation who is treated as an individual citizen in the eyes of the government. So you don't have Ono Sendai as it's own country, but you do have the Honorable Senator Ono Sendai from the great state of Wherever. Or you treat them li...

In March 2006, Cofer Black, vice chairman of Blackwater USA, allegedly suggested at an international conference in Amman, Jordan, that the company was ready to move towards providing security professionals up to brigade size (3,000–5,000) for humanitarian efforts and low-intensity conflicts. Citati...

The company formally knows as Blackwater could maybe field a battalion(-), if all the guys they had on contract at any given time were in one place. But it wasn't organized that way. They ran small units (typically 4-16 guys) running security for the US State Department employees and various other U...

There is no reason for a corp to be a government. Governing is messy. Who really wants to be responsible for pothole filling and burying dead junkies? You just need to be able to influence governments so they are incentivized to do your bidding. Let's say you are huge financial corp and want to avoi...

The idea that comes to mind is ignoring ammo until it's narratively important, than have the person in question roll their weapon as a skill vs some sort of target number. So people with more skill have this happen less often. Skill also changes how fast you can reload. I've seen people who are absu...

Unless the trained trauma surgeon also had a preped OR, a CT and his surgical team in the van you'd likely be better off with an experienced paramedic. Knowing how to cut people open to fix the things that are killing them works a lot better with the tools to cut them open, the tools (and someone to...

The problem here is that we're looking at a game with harsh tiers that pushes people off the RNG altogether fairly often. And for that, variable TNs against dicepools really do work extremely badly. Look at, for example, the vehicle rules in 1st edition Shadowrun. It's... bad. That kind of sounds l...

One of the reasons why i started to specialize in Combat Monster Trolls, because the others usually build more for style than efficience and i could thus usually simply shrug off anything they throw at me <.< It works better if you have LS or KE do your dirty work for you.... :) But we very rarely ...

RQ3 didn't have experience points. To have a chance to increase POW, all you needed was to cast a spell such as Befuddle on an opponent who had at least/better(?) than 5% chance to resist your spell. It's been a while ... I did like the concept of Runes as actual physical things you could integrate...
