/srg/ - Shadowrun General

First for cyberbutts.

>>51541873
By taking 3 sessions.

>>51541873
Drones, spirits, and agents. A million eyes keeping watch. At all times.

Sensor tags are pretty handy for that, though I'm still trying to figure out how to stop them from being looped. All I can think of is pointing them at clocks

Yekka, my Ch5 keeps having problems. I get crashes, can't launch it, nothing. 5.190 or later

>>51541873

That's literally the specific job of a drone rigger.

Any good novels set in the shadowrun universe? I just finished playering SR: dragonfall and Hong Kong and I'm a little bit in love with the setting.

Not quite what I had in mind, but I'll take it. Thanks.

Hey guys. It's the anon whose been GMing a campaign with his girlfriend, with sessions often resulting in her getting pissed at me.

>Took a long break cause girlfriend wanted to try the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPG.
>Just played last night.
>Girlfriend's character is doing runs for Shiawase, targeting Ares.
>Girlfriend has mainly been looking for the elf that turned out to be traitor working for Ares.
>After a few small runs with no real incidents, Girlfriend is introduced to a 'mew' companion.
>'Mew' companion is a human whose gotten cybernetics so she could look more like a cat while gaining some feline traits as well. She calls herself Kat and likes to work 'mew' or 'nyaa' into as main sentences as possible.
>Girlfriend hates Kat, but Kat is very fast and agile, as well as skilled in various martial arts. So girlfriend tolerates Kat.
>After a few more short runs, group runs into the Elf as he joins a Knights Errant counter-strike team tasked with eliminating girlfriend's Shadowrun team.
>Kat and Girlfriend, at the same time, both yell that they had loved him and it hurt when he betrayed them.
>Trigger explanation that Kat is the Elf's wife, as in they never actually got a divorce.
>Trigger IRL drama.
>Trigger Girlfriend locking me out of the house and me having to send this from my grandma's house, who I am staying at for awhile.

>>51544177

>>51545268
>>Trigger Girlfriend locking me out of the house

Kek, you fucking cuck.
I remember you, last time you had to sleep on the Couch or something like that, when you made this Elffleshdildo betray her.

>>51545322
She gets really into stories and campaigns. She'll be fine by the end of next week when her period is over.

>>51545323
Perhaps, but I like drama. I just underestimate how she'll react. Especially since it's her time of the month.

>>51545343
It's not too bad. At least I get a bed at my grandmother's.

>>51545415
lolsto

Did you also ask on plebbit for tips for your runs a few times?
I remember that there was somebody there GM'ing solemly for his GF and i suspected this to be pretty rare.

>>51545415
>It's not too bad. At least I get a bed at my grandmother's.
What a fucking cuck. She has no business kicking you out of the house unless she actually owns it and you're not paying her rent to live there. Grow a fucking pair, will you?

>>51545749
Hey, maybe he's into that.

I don't use Reddit outside of the Warhammer subreddits and Warcraft subreddits, so I'm doubtful it was me.

Every post you have made here about this bullshit story are fucking lies.

Either way you're clearly a little pussywhipped bitch. The day you actually do get a "girlfriend" don't come here to tell us about how you watched her suck Tyrone's dick.

>>51545415
So what was the story you told your grandmother? Because I have a feeling, "She kicked me out because I have a character in an RPG betray her," would only spawn more questions.

>>51546150
That is your opinion. It's not my job to convince anyone that I'm telling truth on the internet.

If that's enough of an explanation, then you officially have a psycho girlfriend.

Humans - even women - are expected to function rationally at all times. Not just 3 weeks out of the month.

>>51546346
It's a choice to just let my girlfriend do whatever she wants. Sure, it means I have no spine and she has my testicles in her purse.

I have three settings. Pussy ass bitch, neutral and short tempered retard. I'd rather be neutral or pussy ass bitch than option 3, since last time option 3 came into play that woman called the police on me, dumped me the next morning and got a restraining order.

>>51546321
It's been joked about but the only time it seriously came up for my character was when there was a serial killer taking people's hearts.

Between you and me I don't see the big deal, it's like these gringos don't even PRAISE THE SUN

>>51544737
Anyone? The list with all of them is easy enough to find, but I'd like some pointers to the must-reads. And perhaps more importantly, if there are any so shite I should avoid them at all costs.

>>51546390
Eh. I'm psycho too. I'm just taking my meds to deal with it. Besides, it's not like she gets physical or abuses me emotionally. When she's not upset with me, she treats me like a king.

Besides, I doubt I can find another girl so willing to try out my hobbies and support my video game making like she does. We often toss ideas off each other. Her for her novels, me for my games. So far though, those novels and games haven't gone anywhere. But someday man, someday.

>>51546409
Then you need to stay on neutral setting, you idiot. Or make sure nobody ever finds the corpse.

By being a pussy ass bitch you encourage her behaviour. You need to send a message that she can't do as she pleases or she's going to think that she can.

>>51546459
I didn't know that people even read the Shadowrun novels to begin with.

Okay so i have this horrible idea for a character & would like to turn it up to eleven & stat it out
A technomancer who has a family, is hit hard by bad times, techie can't find a job. Turns to shadowrunning to make a buck. Catch is, he doesnt actually have a family anymore. They died years ago, he has subconciously created Sprites to look & act like his wife & daughter, his house has turned to shit, but is covered in AR so he wont see the trash & stains. Still kills himself to make money for his "family". His "wife" & "daughter" both love him, but he cant help but subconciously make them suffer so that he suffers more, i.e. his notdaughter comes home upset because another girl bullied her, & his nonwife says up at night when she "thinks" he is sleeping & cries about the families bad situation. How can i best represent this using Qualities (other than just dependants) what other horribly depresing things could i add or tweek, what could i do with the money he earns? Some caveats though, no rape or cucking, it's way to fucking overused. I dont want it to be tragic so much as just depressing & full of denial.

READ 2D STORY TIME IN THE PASTEBIN.

Caps aside its not actually a book. It starts out as a greentext and then turns into its own story. Its one of my favorite stories I've read to date and give tons of flavor for the setting.

>>51548334
Get that Quality from Chrome Flesh that requires you to take uppers and downers.
Some sort of insomnia might also do the trick.

>>51547782
I guess we could go back to being just friends but we're sharing the costs of the house since it's in both of our names. I certainly can't afford the place without her help. We've been friends for around 10 or 11 years before we started dating in 2014. So it's not like we wont know what to do if we went back to just being friends. It'll be awkward living with her though.

>>51547805
Myself is a terrible piece of shit. I have nothing but self hatred and doubt. My girlfriend is the whole reason I'm trying to make something of myself instead of just drowning in my own depression.

>>51547851
This only really started when I had her character's in game boyfriend turn traitor weeks ago. She was the most behaved and best player I've ever GM'd for up until that point.

Going to be serious, I'm tempted to just reboot the entire campaign and reworking the story cause the campaign is just getting stupid with how powerful her character is, this campaign is over a year long IRL so far and we've been playing anywhere between one and four times a week. The elf turning traitor was me trying to stop the campaign from ending but now it's just hard to challenge her.

>>51546321
It depends on where you are. Like, if you're in a part of the CAS that borders Aztlan, you bet your ass people will kill you on principle. Otherwise, you should be safe, esp. given that most of the azzie blood mages aren't even of the aztec tradition.

>>51544737
Changeling is great, if you like sappy novels about learning to accept who you are.

>>51548637

There's something fundamentally wrong with her if she'd kick you out over a stupid game.

And of course there's something thoroughly wrong with you just indulging her ridiculous behaviour.

Don't bother rebooting anything if you expect her to go extremely apeshit whenever things don't go her way.

So...my players have finally reached their goal. The Street Sam is now a fully fledged Cyber Zombie. They're going to be going down in a blaze of glory soon and they know it. How do I give them the biggest sendoff possible?

Attributes are marginally better. You won't suck if you do it the other way around though. I'd put Resources above both, FYI.

Got a question for you, /srg/

Is it possible to play a adept/mage who is partially, occasionally, whatever possessed by a spirit? If not, what can I use to emulate something like that within the existing rules?

>>51550844
Yuh. Pick a mystic adept/magician, initiate, get the channelling metamagic. You'll get to retain control. Mostly. Otherwise just pick a possession tradition and go nuts.

>>51550844
>>51550868
Or, make a spirit pact (dream). When you're asleep, the Spirit is awake. And in your body.

>>51550868
>>51550893

Are these in the core book or what? Sounds fucking neat.

>>51549950
That's cool. I'll probably have them fight through to the target, hold off a wave or two of TacNet mooks, then have the survivors pull back as the strike gets called in.

Their next characters will pick up a week or so before all this. They'll be on a standard run and the strike will be a major complication in their run. The cyber zombie might survive and be taken in by someone with authority.

Naturally, I'll let them have some fun with their new cyber zombie before I deploy a superweapon to completely erase them.

Bullet-curving homebrew anon here. I'll post my homebrew bullet-curving quality and answer some questions.
>Bullet Curving
>free action
>cost 0.5PP/level (max 3)
>when using a ranged weapon to attack a target behind cover, as a free action you can cause your projectile's trajectory to "curve" around the obstacle in a spectacular violation of the laws of physics. For the purposes of this attack, your target's defense bonuses from cover and shields are reduced two points per level of the power, to a minimum of zero.
>additionally, using this power allows you attack enemies around obstacles, albeit at a penalty equal to (3 - your levels in this power), minimum zero. If you are aware of the target's exact position, this supersedes the normal blind fire penalty.
>this power is not compatible with automatic fire

>>51534323
>Does it work with Bows?
It should also work with primitive projectile weapons such as bows, crossbows, slings, thrown spears, atlatls, thrown rocks, and so on
>Can I do it with Heavy Weapons, Hunting rifles, flame throwers, tank cannons, guided missiles?
If the weapon is considered man-fireable for your character, I say yes. Perhaps for a weapon your character directly physically operates, like a minigun, rocket launcher, or HMG. A tank's main gun would not qualify because your character probably can't whip it around fast enough to curve the projectile.
>Can I do it on full auto?
Single shots and 3-bullet bursts. Unless you can wave your gun back and forth 100 times a second. And in that case you're probably better off going for melee.
>Does it work with blind fire?
I included a penalty for firing around corners at enemies you can't see (3 minus ranks in the power, min 0). If you actually know the target's location, that supersedes the blind fire penalty. If you have no idea where the target is and need to bullet-curve to hit him, the two penalties should stack.
>Can I use it with thrown weapons?
Absolutely. Curving a thrown knife is pretty baller.

Why was I born a Mac user?

Holy shit I looked into this free spirit compact thing and it seems confusing.

Where are the rules for making a spirit pact? How strong a spirit can it be? Where are the stat-blocks for spirits? Does the GM come up with it or what?

The ritual says 'The cost of completing this ritual is in Karma equaling Force x 2 of the spirit.' Does this mean I just pick a force (limited by Magic x2 like it says in the core book for summoning), and just pay Force x2 karma for it?

What is going on? Am I a moron?

He routinely throws curves, sliders, sinkers, and gyroballs. They serve the purpose to dodge an enemy to get behind them/smack into a wall in a different corridor while also going much farther than a regular thrown grenade.

And a textbook 'whacky misunderstandings' opener. Character wakes up and is balls deep in the torso of a corporate schoolgirl. Edgy DM heaven.

>>51552370
You'll work with your DM to decide what the spirit is. Dream pacts are typically formed unwillingly/unknowingly - tempo, for example, formed a sort of dream pact between users and the spirit who owned the tree the bark was harvested from. You might want to try asking the GM for a formula/dream pact. Basically, the character stops aging. Anyone who looks at his aura can see there's something odd going on, it's visibly distorted. The only copy of the formula that can ever affect the spirit is the character, so the character can always summon the spirit. And the spirit will do its best not to fuck the character completely, but still cheerfully take advantage of him.

>>51552629

Street grimoire says that the aging and aura thing only happens for a Life pact. Dream pact is the one where you're You during the day, and when you sleep, the spirit possesses you. You have no memory of it and the aura is all spirit.

Unless I'm reading this wrong. In any case, I was hoping to do a 'Female former corp-mage timesharing her body with what is essentially Coyote.'

>>51552333
Well there it is. I can't believe I missed that before.

>>51552673
Formula pact - right above life pact. A life pact doesn't stop you aging, it just trades damage for karma. And it's really a shitty pact, the life pact.

Combine the two. If you want it to be Coyote the totem spirit, claim it's an avatar you formed a bond with and go for the dream pact. Or that respite from aging was given in exchange for nightime control of your body, since Coyote is a dick but not so much as to give nothing at all.

Otherwise, pick some sort of mischievious Coyote expy, stat the spirit out - say, F8 or something, big enough to make people think twice, but small enough that it's a possible it'd pay attention to grubby mortals - and combine the two pacts. The formula pact was received in exchange for the dream pact.

>>51552577
Adept powers, by long-standing convention, are incapable of acting upon forces that aren't connected to your aura. Missile Mastery works as a power because it's affecting how YOU throw the object.

Once that bullet leaves your gun, there's no longer a magical effect that can be applied to it.

Beyond that, there aren't enough physical forces that can interact with a bullet to generate any noticeable effect over the ranges combat typically happens at, if you want to actually do anything beyond impact the target.

It'd make more sense if it was like Deadshot, redirecting the bullet by grazing off other targets.

>>51552799

Think I'm gonna go with the Dream pact and see if my GM is okay with it. Probably using the Guardian Spirit stat block, cos it's nice and beefy and gives optional powers like Animal Control and Concealment, which are very Coyote.

Although, Force 8 would give me (or rather the spirit) effective Body 9, Agility 10, Reaction 11. Are those constrained by my metatype, or am I just gonna be rolling lots of fucking dice?

Sorry for throwing questions on questions, but I normally roll street sams. I don't rock the magic side of things at all.

>>51552897
Keep in mind that you have zero control. Speak to the GM, but he'll probably give you a list of priorities for the spirit when it's asleep if he lets you play it. I suggested my other half, with the double pact - formula - so you could always call on that spirit as needed. With channelling, you can go for the possession aspect too - voluntary as well as full blown spirit time.

Don't worry about it. I'm the same with the matrix.

Homebrew sounds fun. I personally think you shouldn't be able to control more than one bullet fired at a time. Also, consider the implications that you're suggesting an Adept has some degree of control of the laws of physics (or lack of). If that's not consistent with how your world is treating adepts, consider building some explanation as to why this is different. If it were up to me, my players are fine with "It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit". In my headcanon, It would be up there with how adepts can walk up walls .

>>51553788
Man, a gun adept with the adept spell power would be a hell of a thing. Levitate, improved invisibility, fly up, blast your target, disappear.

Sniper mage: has anybody made one before? What ideas did you have that you thought were pretty clever?

I wonder if there's a good way to cast a detect life spell at a target location while you sit far away, ready to shoot your target through a wall.

So far I got:

>New experimental prototype guns. Just be sure not to loose it.

>Showing off this year's catalog of Ares drones. You break it you buy it.

My Face\Gunslinger got an Ares deal that was similar. He was a gunsmith (along with being a drug addict card player), and had a hobby taking Ares products and tricking them out with accessories, but specifically, with engraving and artisan works. Ares sponsored his line, and he became a small subcontractor for Ares Arms - basically someone could factory order an Ares Predator (or whatever else Ares makes), and he would artisan engrave it to their specifications, or whatever he wanted to do artistically.

It was slow work though, and didn't pay a lot. But he was an Ares fanboy, so he was happy to do it.

>>51554229
I did. The clever thing was he was a normal mage who happened to own a telescope. Remember, if the range of a spell is line of sight, the only thing you have to worry about is the curvature of the earth.

>>51553996
The advantage of drones is that you don't even have to be present, so no DNA evidence, facial recognition, or whatnot. Hell, the blast will generally make the drone largely untraceable (as if it wasn't an off-the-rack model purchased legally by a completely different dude with a SIN who has no idea who he bought it for).

I guess I can still place a directed explosive device under a manhole cover and blow up the target as his car passes over it. So many problems can be solved with sufficient quantities of C4.

>Beyond that, there aren't enough physical forces that can interact with a bullet to generate any noticeable effect over the ranges combat typically happens at
It's literally magic... If it was actually physically possible, it wouldn't need to be an adept power. I even mentioned in the power description that it violates the laws of physics.

>Once that bullet leaves your gun, there's no longer a magical effect that can be applied to it.
The "lore" explanation for how it works is like in the Wanted movie. The character doesn't actually control the laws of physics. Basically a guy swings his gun really fast while firing, which imposes force on the bullet to make it curve. The result violates physics, much like running on snow without leaving tracks, but it's because of the adept's actions, not because he's telling reality itself to sit down and shut up.

It's basically meant to emulate what happens in this scene around 0:50
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huJIBP2SbLw

>>51556206
No matter how hard you swing the gun, you're never going to make the bullet's trajectory curve.

>>51556265
And no matter how strong you are, you'll never walk on walls, but adepts can do that.
No matter how cool you are, you'll never deflect bullets with your mind, but that's not only an adept power, it's one of the shitty ones too.
No matter how smart you are, you will never will your flesh to heal itself, but that's totally doable with adept spell.

Youre aura allows you to see trajectories, & give the bullet a little bit of extra oomph once you pull the trigger the bullet flies, bounces off the ceiling light, down to the wall, off the helmet of a corpsec gon the ground & straight up the hoop of the troll with the blastshield thats giving you trouble.

I think the Jackpoint bullshit would read much better if they went out their way to use different/new usernames as much as possible, so it actually felt like a large forum of people discussing the niche subjects they specialize in.

As for Slamm-0! in specific, I wish the writers didn't try so much to pass him off as a lovable rascal. Just seems like such a waste that an unattractive manchild of a decker only gets any real flak from Clockwork.

So I recently started playing Overwatch, and I was wondering if there was a way to put the chemical found inside your usual Stimpatch in capsule rounds, auto-injectors or DMSO grenades

Is Acting worth it or should I just take Con?

>>51558436
I don't think there's a rule for stimpatches, but there is a way to do it with trauma patches in Bullets and Bandages.

>>51558512
Take both. Con is convincing someone that you just left your keycard at home, while Acting is crying when they won't let you in because you need this job or your 2 kids and 3 cats will starve.

>>51558512
>Acting group or Con
You're better off getting the influence group and taking Con separately. You'll be rolling etiquette 24/7, and negotiation is basically the default social skill for most tasks.

>>51558619
>Acting is crying when they won't let you in because you need this job or your 2 kids and 3 cats will starve.
My GM would probably let us roll Con for that.

Also, acting isn't a skill, it's a skill group. It contains Con, Impersonation, and Performance. IMO the latter two are pretty much useless for a runner unless you plan on literally dancing your way through the mission area.

>>51558436
Ana's gun is tranq rifle loaded with Savior Medkit juice or Nopaint, but I can't think of a tranq rifle in 5e. For the grenades the closest might be Gas Grenades loaded with DMSO Nopaint, since I don't think that DMSO works with Nanomachines, son.

>>51558686
>I can't think of a tranq rifle in 5e
Parashield Dart Rifle. Core book 429, listed right below the shotguns.

If you ask me, it should key off Longarms instead of Exotic Ranged Weapon(Parashield Dart Rifle), but that's just like my opinion man.

>>51558602
>>51558686
I forgot to look into Bullets and Bandages, silly me. Looks like a mix of NoPaint and HemoSynth should do the trick, thanks.

>>51558722
They like needlessly complicating things with exotic weapon skills for anything slightly unusual. I think they do it to justify srg saying that Alphas are the only firearm a runner should use.

>>51558820
I wonder what would happen if the Alpha was 13F like the Raiden

>>51558820
The Raiden's still a better assault rifle though.

>>51558820
You need Heavy Weapons to use the underbarrel though

>>51558686
>>51558722
>>51558820
Ask your GM if you can use substitute Longarms when using it. If you're cool with the penalty then there you go.

Personally I'd make it a penalty of no more than -2, probably just a -1. It's fucking stupid that you have to have a separate skill just for it simply because it uses darts instead of bullets.

>>51558686
Capsule rounds, omae. Capsule rounds.

>>51558908
IIRC the penalty for substituting Weapons skills is -2, which is negligible.
>>51559024
I was emulating Ana as closely as I could, omae. An Ammo Skip weapon with different capsule round payloads is probably mechanically superior.

>>51558861

Is it just me, or are streetsams a distinct minority among Jackpoint shitposters....I mean, commentators?

How long does it take to increase stats?

>>51560007
Core p107, (New Rating) x Weeks

If you mean how long IRL, that depends on the rating you want to reach, and the amount of Karma your GM awards each session. I usually give 2-3 Karma per session, and 8-10 Karma at the end of each run. So increasing an Attribute from 3 to 4 would require 20 Karma, around 2 runs, while raising one from 6 to 7 would require 35 Karma, which is more like 3 runs.

>>51560007
New Attribute Rating x 1 week.
>Raise STR from 1 -> 2 = Two weeks
>Raise STR from 2 -> 3 = Three weeks
>Raise STR from 3 -> 4 = Four weeks
>and so on

For another example, if you wanted to jump from 1 to 3 in a stat, it would take five weeks because you need to go 1->2 and then 2->3.

Note that this time cannot be reduced, by trainers or otherwise. Even once you get the karma to make stat increases happen, it's a long road to the top.

If I'm not driving is 3 reaction okay? I have a health focus for improved reflexes, so is increasing the base stat worth the karma?

>>51560254
Absolutely. Reaction is used for Driving, dodging attacks and for Initiative. But the latter two also use Intuition, which is also important for Perception. So if you are not driving and feel your REA+INT is lacking, you can always raise Intuition and enjoy the side benefit of better Perception.

>>51560254
You'll lose out on a better dodge pool, and be worse at some miscellaneous stuff like quick drawing and weaving through Suppressing Fire. You can pump your INT instead or sustain a spell to help your dodge pool. Plus higher INT is useful for all the other things it's useful for.

>>51559636
Because Street Sams are the jocks of Shadowrunners, so they don't do nerd shit like post on forums all night. Alternatively, they're the most autistically dedicated to their job so they spend all day oiling their guns and working out, so no time to post.

Also, how does one get involved with something like Urban Brawl or Desert Wars? Are they mainly ex-military/mercenaries? Do the companies that run them have talent scouts embedded with those groups? Do they have talent scouts watching stuff like gang wars or shadowrunning communities?

I actually played a /k/ personified mage once. He believed his powers came from murderkube and he had a refluffed doom spirit as his mentor. He was complely unable to cast anything unless he was wielding a firearm. Refused to wear anything but old milsurp clothing too, and made sure that all of his guns were free of interfering electronics. Fun character.

>>51560485
Desert Wars are official corp teams made of active corpsec. I imagine there is competition in their armed forces for places on the team, more obvious in places like Ares.

Urban Brawl did come out of gang warfare, so they might scout there, but they probably also try and entice professional soldiers (who already have the cyber, saving costs) and grooming up some likely candidates in minor league football and similar violent sports.

Laugh all you want, ignoramus maximus, but go ask any veteran how often they used or were instructed to use full auto. I can guarantee you the only ones who said they used it at all were the gunners. In fact, I think the kikes have a variant of their service rifle that doesn't even have full auto since it's so completely and utterly useless.

>>51560899
That's what recoil is. Get very high recoil compensation, and suddenly it stops being a problem.

>>51560899
Why are you ignoring the fact that every modern military uses full auto weapons and not semi-auto ones? And the fact that for a long time they tried to make them even more full auto but gave up due to technical limitations. Putting multiple bullets downrange quickly statistically increases likelihood to hit.

>>51560943
It's not an abstraction, it's complete fantasy. Full auto should be less accurate and more damaging, not the other way around.

I only ever use bullseye double tap since the rules are so fucking retarded they make my autism flare.

>>51560973
I also go for semi shots but always want auto as an option for suppressing, since nobody else in the party has Automatics

>>51560973
>Full auto should be less accurate and more damaging, not the other way around.
The fuck are you going on about, full auto isn't less damaging.

>>51560973
>Full auto should be less accurate and more damaging,

Why in the name of sweet fuck should a bullet fired full auto do more damage than a bullet fired semi-auto? Whoever told you modern militaries are switching away from full auto or are using less full auto was a goddamn idiot or was lying for some reason.

>>51560964
Correction: every modern military uses SELECT-FIRE weapons. No soldier ever uses full auto or burst, ever, because it only serves to waste your ammo. If you use full auto, you're a gunner, and your role is to suppress while others manuever. If a rifleman suppresses, he does so while using semi-auto.

>>51560773
t. hasn't done a tour of duty

>>51560993
>No soldier ever uses full auto or burst, ever
I'm going to need to see a citation for that.

>>51560985
>>51560987
Full auto should be more damaging since you are putting more rounds downrange, and if multiple rounds hit = more damage. The downside is that you're less likely to hit.

I know this isn't a perfect solution, but from a mechanics standpoint there should be a reason to ever use full auto when in real life there is not. This is the best I can come up with.

>>51560993
>No soldier ever uses full auto or burst

>>51561010
>Full auto should be more damaging since you are putting more rounds downrange, and if multiple rounds hit = more damage.
That is exactly what happens in the rules.

>>51561024
No, full auto just gives the defending party a penalty to dodge pool while the damage stays the same. Technically I guess it's true since the penalty also increases net hits.

>And putting down accurate fire isn't even necessary you fucking idiot, fuckton of miliary studies showed that beyond a certain threshold of material Quality and penetration, all that is really relevant is the amounts of bullets fired within a timeframe.

Dead wrong. Suppressive fire needs to be accurate in order to be effective, and you achieve that by having either greater volume for fire (belt-feds) or accuracy (semi-automatic fire). Suppressive fire is the only reason why armies expend so much ammunition.

>>51561268

He says that how often a soldier uses semi-auto is indicative of how well he is trained. Only retards use full auto.

Here are some training videos of proper room clearing:

These are across the room distances. Note the complete and utter lack of full auto fire.

Given that "full auto" means "1000 rds/min in combat", I think they can do volume just fine.

The problem is that the size of the mag means they can't do it for very long.

>>51561477
Wrong, because suppression also needs to be SUSTAINABLE. With a full magazine, you're out in 3 seconds flat using full auto, and then there's a lull in combat, allowing the enemy to recover. You also overheat the barrel, meaning that when you need to land killshots your accuracy is fucked.

Ever wondered why LMGs have a quick-change barrel or some other cooling method, as well as shooting from open bolt? Well, now you know.

Damn, i knew it.
You never made a tour, probably didn't even do Basic Service in your home Country.

>room cleaning

geez fuck, now why would this probably be the cause?
Protip:
You train everyday soldiers to not use full auto in room clearing because its a scenario where the Chance for third party bystanders that shouldn't be harmed is pretty high, especially if you are deployed in asymetric conflicts.
Goes exactly the other way round for more "specialised" troops that need to do shit with a lower unit count .

Multiple targets, close range. It's more time effective than full autoing them one or two at a time, and 3 or more at time is just too small a dice pool.

I think this is enough for the time being, unless people really want me to keep going.

>>51561680
But as long as they have 5 or more initiative they can avoid it entirely by Hitting the Deck.

>>51561718
And then they're prone, which means they can't dodge as well and they're also down 5 initiative. Also,
>But as long as they have 5 or more initiative
If they have any initiative at all.

How long are elf ears? I want headphones but I don't know if they'll fit, or be some weird shape

>>51561536
Not to mention that semi-autos seldom have quick-change barrels, which can become a serious issue quite quickly even with the pauses to swap mags.

>>51561769
>And then they're prone,
You can't get them with Suppressive when they're prone.

The real danger of Suppressie is its dice pool penalty. Actually hitting people is gravy.

>>51561822
Even if your GM rules them to be warcraft-huge, IIRC elves are like 20% of the world's population. Companies would totally make earbuds and headphones suited for elves.

>>51561861
>You can't get them with Suppressive when they're prone.
Nor if they're behind partial cover, at which point you switching to picking them off with full auto.

Went up against 6 cops last session with none of the other jackasses on my team doing anything considerate like helping me, so it was just me and my AK-97. Here's how it went:
>"surprise" round
>pop out from behind doorway, Suppressive fire, 5 cops wounded
>first round
>first initiative pass: full auto, kill injured cop
>second initiative pass: full auto, kill injured cop
>combat ends because cops are retreating and team has accomplished the mission
I can assure you, these tactics are sound.

>>51562080
Seems reliant on getting surprise, though.

>>51562133
Not so much as it is on the enemy not starting behind cover.

Please do

>>51562839
I always tailor my soundtracks around the session itself. With my campaign, the three major gangs represent a different genre. The biker gang, Thrashers, represent the past with rock and metal. The Sixers are synthwave to represent the future. Lastly, the Skimmers are hip-hop/goa/drum n bass to represent the present, as well as my infatuation with a rave scene. So, whatever the group fights that session determines what I play. Some favs, though:

>TOUGH AND TARGETED (BONUS: 10 KARMA) The character is well-known as one of the biggest badasses on the streets. However, one way to make a name for yourself on the streets is to be known as the guy who killed the top dog. At least once a month or so, the character is randomly attacked by an up-and-coming rival looking to make a name for himself. The Professional Rating of the guy who comes looking for him is equal to the character’s Street Cred. Should the character with this quality be defeated by his rival, assuming he lives (the rival will be satisfied so long at the character goes into overflow damage; death is not necessary), then this quality is removed without Karma expenditure, but the character’s Street Cred resets to 0 and he gains 1 point of Notoriety.

You know, I'm just confused as to who would particularly want the quality other than those with Tough And Targeted. It gives 2 dice against Mr Johnson on social rolls but then it halves your Street Cred, which gives you more social dice against a wider variety of people. I guess it's not meant to be one of those "fun" disadvantages like Addiction, Flashbacks or Poor Self Control.

Where do I read up about Hatchetman?

Me & a friend of mine were talking the other day about how here really needs to be a Shadowrun movie. It got me thinking of who i would cast & as what. Id like to hear your guys' opinion

Ron Pearlman as an aging troll cybered up to try & keep up with the younger runners

John Goodman as a fat dwarven rigger (possibly using a drone/rascal to get around)

Zooey Deschanel as a quirky (of course) decker

Zoe Saldana as Pearlman's character's ork protegee

Vin Diessel as an Ancients Adept elf (just give the man a motorcycle, a katana & no script, itll write itself)

Emily Deschanel as a brusk corp manager in charge of whatever horrible plot the main characters are trying to stop

Jason Statham as her bodyguard

& maybe Dwayne Jojnson playing another troll who fights Pearlman in a one on one near the end

& it might be typecast but i see Chris Pratt as the face/leader who is a mage.

I see Pratt making a deal with a dragon, & then shit happens

Also there must be a scene with Keanu Reeves playing a fixer or bartender or some other "npc" possition where he plays a retired badass who does something badass

So does it have merit or am i just an autistic fanboy?
