almost as good as Lord Bearington
>>
>>20669633
Lord Bearington is obviously in the employ of the Emperor of Mam.
>>
Why would the Emperor give a shit when an animal is staring at him? Did he execute every dog that happened to be facing in his direction too?

For that matter, while I assume the empire mentioned is a less than pleasant one given that usually someone other than soldiers would try and defend the social order (read; everyone courageous enough who benefits the social order or believes in it), but why would they raise the Mammoth to rule rather than worshiping it or something? I mean, isn't it clearly an animal?
>>
>>20669653
Questioning Lord Mammoth!?!
>>
>>20669653

OP made the entire story up.

But yeah. I imagine they would crown MAMMOTH as the new 'emperor' to show that they don't want one any more. However, stuff still needs to get done to keep the city running. They would probably form a council of the most influential people in the city.

God Damnit you say? I've got something that fits that criteria.

My tale starts two weeks ago at the local gaming store. I had been playing in a Pathfinder game that ran its course and died naturally. At the end of the last session, after the people I didn't like left, I piped up with “Say chaps, how's about we start up a group? ” This was met with enthusiastic assent and we agreed to meet the next Thursday at my house for character creation and the first session.

Things went off without a hitch, I have nothing to report about the game itself. I'm not the greatest GM, but everyone seemed to have fun. One guy stayed behind as the others left, “Hey Anon, mind if I wait for my ride here? It'll be about an hour.” “Yeah, sure.” I start doing dishes (We played through dinner, so I fed everyone) and he tells me a bit about himself. He seems cool enough.

“Do you mind if I use your bathroom Anon?” ”Sure, last door on the left.”
He's in there for about 15 minutes. I hear some banging and clanking going on down there, but I think to myself, “He's got work boots and a belt, noises are to be expected.”

Knowing what I know now, when I remember that banging, I hear screams of children and gnashing of teeth. A crackle of flame comes to my ears.

I never said it wasn't. Lord Bearington is just a retelling of the Chicken Boo gag from Animaniacs.
>>
>>20669739
He flushes about 6 times overall. When he comes out, he says ”Sorry, I couldn't get your toilet to flush.” “Yeah, sometimes the chain stretches. Did everything eventually go down?” “Yup.” He's completely poker faced when answering me, not a flicker of recognition of any wrong-doing.

So we talk a bit more, and eventually his ride pulls up. “Anon, I had a lot of fun tonight. I may not be able to make next week's game, though.” “Oh, OK.” and he leaves. I see the partly open bathroom door, and can hear that he didn't turn on the fan. Holding my breath, I walk over and stick my hand in the crack to turn it on. I accidentally get the light too, so I stick my head in to turn it off.

That is when I am greeted with the mess he left.

That guy fired a shit shotgun in my bathroom. We're talking walls, floor, side of the tub, behind the tank of the fucking toilet. This was not spray or streaks, he was more of a savant than that. This was... leafy. It's like he shat a box of legos. I shout something incoherent, frozen in what I can only call shock.

I guess this is how I find out that I'm a pussy, because I failed my SAN check and ran out of the house.

I've not seen him again, none of my players knew much about him, the FLGS owner hasn't seen him.

He was friendly and like a decent human being on the outside, but just below the surface was a pack of wolves tearing each other apart in a demoniac blood-orgy. I almost want to think that half of the time he was in there, he wasn't trying to clean it. Instead, he was psyching himself up to kill me if I noticed.

Alternatively, he was an avatar of Nyarolethotep, who has retreated to the caverns at the center of the world, but he may take up that mask again someday to shit apart another's trust in humanity.

Nah, but seriously. Both of the gaming groups I've been seriously involved in IRL have done similar things, either ordering pizza or having everyone help bring things for or make dinner.

He was replaced with a sewer doppelganger. The noises your heard were the fight and the doppelganger consuming his remains. The splattering was from the struggle.

we all are playing strange characters. A gnome barbarian/berserker (the strong man in the circus), human bard/paladin (the ringmaster), etc. I asked first "guys, would be ok if i play a centaur?", DM said "well, if you like being LA+2 plus 4 racial dies...", the thing is he can't fucking stand when something goes against his logic.

>>20669991
Alright. All 4e, and not long ones but;

Recently, our party of four has fled their homeland because of a coup done by a branch of the military to take total control. During the escape, we came across what I can sum up as Berserker from FS/N. However, we were fortunate in that we were in a tunnel that looked out over a cliff, and we managed to trick him into falling over the edge of the cliff and around 40+ feet. He ends up breaking his back when he hits the water and sinks to the bottom.

Now, being the thorough group we are, we decide to send me down to break his neck (being a Shardmind and unable to drown) to ensure he never comes back. So I proceed to tie our party's rope together and proceed to spider-man my way down to the rough waters and take a dip. I then swim on over to the guy's corpse and proceed to break his neck.

As our Fighter/Defender summed it up; 'So we just knocked a guy off a cliff, watch him break his back. And then go in after him to break his neck. We also took his weapon.'

Another one coming next.

It sounds like he's doing his best to turn murderhoboing in an extreme sport.
>>
>>20670037
>YEAH! FUCK THE RAILROAD!
>>
>>20670038
This one isn't as long;

So, so first session we're solving a murder mystery as part of a sidequest. At one point while inspecting the corpse, we notice a peculiar stain on the sleeve of the dead husband, who had died from poison.

Our Fighter, in his infinite wisdom, decides to lick it. Turns out, it was poison. So here we are, in front of the suspects trying to save a Dragonborn who figured it was okay to lick things he didn't know.

Oh, and when we did find/figure out the murderer (it was the wife,) our party face had courteously asked our possibly mentally handicapped dragonborn into dealing with her. What followed can only be described as thus;

'I grab her and throw her to the ground. I then draw my hammer and bring it down on her face.'
...
These seem funnier when slightly inebriated.
>>
>>20670046
The worst part? He's not even winning. That's our ranger's domain. Yeah, the one keeping track of Mr. Knife-neck's unnecessary killings? He butchered a mercenary archer we caught in THE FIRST SESSION. After he totally told us everything he knew! Cut off his fore and middle fingers because the guy had shot at him. It took us a minute to explain he had ruined this guy's life. So he shot him. Later we fought some other random guys who had been illusioned or charmed or something into thinking we were orc raiders. One shot him. Once. So after they were tied up, he dragged this hobbit out, and, through skill checks and attack rolls I can't even remember, threw him over his friends and shot him, so his blood rained down on their bodies. Then used a nature check to make a proper wolf call to lure in any wolves.

Okay, here's the deal. You have to send a message that enough is enough and that this shit will fly no longer. Pick your favorite, and somehow incapacitate them. Poison, trickery, ropes, whatever, just make sure they can't wiggle out of the killing blow. Cut them up, a little bit a time. Shave off each hit point with a rusty iron dagger and make it clear how this is going to end. When you're ready, get the attention of the rest of your party and saw of the head of your victim right in front of your eyes.

And now that you have become one of them, you can end them.

Good people don't carve their friends up and then kill them to prove a point, that's what the rest of my party would do. I just have to keep trying to redeem them. Or push them off this new airship. I'm kind of liking the idea of pushing them off this airship.

But if I kill them, who will help me save (what's left of) the world?

I gave my DM a lot of God Dammit moments. It's shockingly simple to do when you play a Barbarian who knows in his heart of hearts that the only true path lies with punching problems out of existence.

Bastard got creative on me though. In true PC fashion we are attempting an end-around on the DM, going for some wood to build a boat to skirt around this hostile nation (later discovered to be run by elves from the Feywild who wanted to use it as an invasion staging point) that is blocking our path. In true DM fashion, he tries to prevent us from doing so.

>"I punch the tree in anger because my axe won't chop through the son of a bitch." Rolled an 18 on Strength too, sucker.
You punched an ironwood tree. Your hand is now full of splinters of ironwood. Arcane energy seeps through your hand and up your arm.
>"Is that bad?" Arcana check. Bam! Natural 20.
You know that Ironwood is ridiculously strong and its magic will eventually turn your hand, then arm, then entire body into petrified wood. Roll saving throws twice per day to resist its effects.

Lost my fucking arm to the damn thing. Not because it got petrified, but because I chopped it off and then cauterized the stump so I'd have something to eat after I got locked behind a fucking lunar door that only opens on the full moon. Inside I found a spaceship manned by the ghosts of a hundred dead kobolds

So I'm playing NWoD(or what I assume was NWoD) and it's my first time really playing with the system. I'm with a group who's previous member had to drop because of school, and I'm basically taking over for him. They ask me to play a Necromancer because that's what the previous guy was. That's cool, Necromancers are pretty cool when done right. So the DM/GM/Fabio sits me down and we start making my character.

I tell him my guy works at McDonalds, and that he uses his powers to bring back all the hamburger patties and chicken nuggets so that he'll have quick and easy minions to dispense. DM/GM/Fabio says I can't do that. I ask why.

>"Because I said so."

Okay a little awkward, but whatever. I decide that my guy doesn't really like the whole idea of bringing people back to life, and mostly sticks with animals. DM/GM/Fabio gives me a look like I'm mental or something, but just goes on. Moving on my guy gets good skills in driving and melee, specifically with blunt objects. and has a good number of points in stamina or whatever the equivalent was to it in that game.

>"So what musical instrument are you fluent in?"

I ask him what he means, and he tells me that everyone in the game is fluent in at least one instrument. I figure that he's setting something up like in Shaman King, where objects have spirits or something, and tell him my guy's fluent in Harmonica.

>"You mean Ocarina?"
>"No, I mean Harmonica."
>"But Ocarina's are cooler."
>"Well maybe but I like Harmonica's more."

He then frowns and scribbles it down rather harshly, making the paper tear a bit.

So we've covered the musical instrument and the only thing left is for me to describe what my character looks like.

>"Well he's got short brown hair and wears a cowboy hat and boots, wears a-"
>"You're character should look sickly."
>"Why?"
>"You're a guy who brings back dead people."
>"No, I'm a guy who brings back dead animals, and only if they're fine with it."

I forgot to mention that my guy doesn't really enjoy his power that much, and only uses it when the receiving animal is cool with it. This point will prove pointless later on though, as you'll find out.

>"Fine, continue."
>"Okay, cowboy hat and boots, and wearing a blue baseball jersey with blue jeans. Really lanky too, almost like a string bean."

Me and the DM/GM/Fabio conclude this character creation, and we part ways. cut to my first session with the group and let me tell you, it was unlike anything I've experienced since. To fully grasp the horror in which I'm about to describe to you, let me first introduce you to the party, or as I like to call them "The Band of Wolf Rapists"

Mostly because I was still very green at the time, and there weren't a lot of options for a guy who wanted to get into P&P games.

The Fox: Dude played a Kitsune(sp?) Lycan that was also an engineered weapon of the Government and the Vatican, also was raped by Minotaurs apparently just last session. Vatican Minotaurs. We use his place for our gaming sessions, and he's constantly pulling up songs and telling us this is what his character is playing at the time. Will want to listen to the whole thing before moving on. Plays a Ocarina. Actually pretty cool dude, if a bit slow at times. He's the type of guy who gets stepped on a lot, but doesn't say anything because he's afraid he'll make people dislike him. Out of all the people in the group he's probably the one I felt sorry for the most. Especially for what happens to his character later.

Black Dynamite: This mother fucker was the craziest dude I'd ever seen. He'd made a damn Blackula-A BLACKULA!!!- that weilded a cursed katana that got stronger the more it was coated in blood. He would constantly shout the funniest shit IG did everything you'd expect from a katana wielding Blackula in a Blaxploitation movie. The player himself was quiet as he could be when he wasn't IC. Cool dude all around. Best line of the game had to be,

Alright gents, here's a story about Greg the goddamn elf.

Now, Greg's (full elven name Gre'goran) player is a good guy. He is a decent roleplayer, good at not metagaming, can actually build a character that is good without being broken, even showers on occasion. However, he has one VERY noticeable flaw- He has absolutely zero common sense when there is an elf in game. Fuck if I know why but all reason shuts down at the mention of pointy ears. This, of course, has led to some "interesting" moments, like my favorite here.

>Party is in a rather large human city investigating possible corruption in the guard.
>Alleged racism, robberies, harassment, ect., mostly directed at, of course, elves.
>Mayor wants us to quell the situation and to expose any corrupt officials we encounter, 'cause he is worried about race riots or something.
>Going along well, we catch a pair of guards ransacking an elven woodworkers shop.
>After brief combat we subdue them and start gathering physical evidence.
>Come across letters implying a small elven group is going to start "fighting" back.
>Group is worried, last thing we need is a group of batman wannabes running around. We don't need the competition.
>Bring guards and new info to mayor, promising to look into it.
>Start asking our rogues contacts about this new group, they promise to look into it.

Ronald McDick: This guy...this guy! He played an ex military commando who was also half demon. Me and him never got along IG or OOC. He'd always be on his laptop dicking around on Second Life, and was basically the DM/GM/Fabio's cock sucker. Because he was the cock sucker, his character never got in trouble, and was able to pull off some of the stupidest and most insane stunts I've ever seen.
For instance, at one point we were looking around in the woods, after fighting some trees, and he suddenly gets the idea that he'll use the stars to determine our location.

>GM: Can't, it's too cloudy
>Ronald: Then I'll just use my shotgun to shoot the clouds away.
>Party: What?!
>GM: Cool, roll to hit.
>Ronald: 4, 9, 7, 8, 7
>GM: You blast at the clouds so much that they part, allowing you to gaze at the stars.

But even this dick was nothing compared to what the DM/GM/Fabio was. Nothing I tell you.

Fabio: The guy who was running this whole thing basically had one of the greasiest faces I'd ever seen, and I'm pretty sure he was bi-polar or autist. Or maybe he was just a dick, I don't really know, the guy was just plain awful. One of the strangest things about Fabio was how even though the rest of him was dirty and greasy, he had the longest and most beautiful flowing blonde hair I'd ever seen. Literally you'd think this guy uses Pert Extreme or something with the amount of volume he has.

In the game he had his DMPC, which was a half-Atlantean fucker who was 300 years old and fought for the south during the civil war, would constantly put us "in our place" whenever we tried to do something out of the ordinary. Did I mention Fabio didn't like it if we tried to break the party up? Like even for mundane shit like going out to look for bitches. Hell I'm glad none of use ever stated we went to the bathroom, or else he'd send some cosmic horror that would force us all into the shower together.
Fabio also made sure to us just how awesome his DMPC was, by having every villain or individual in the game be "put in their place" by him. This would include shouting matches between the characters, both voiced by Fabio, and would always end with the NPC huffing and scudding off before any of us had a chance to talk to him/her.
Also he was gay, which meant that every male character in the game beside ours was gay. I have nothing against gay people, fuck I don't even care about your sexual wants, we're playing a game and just having fun. But this dude made a point that every single character was gay, and not just gay but flamboyantly gay. This included Vatican Members, Monsters, and Gods. How bad was it? Let me give you a taste...sorry.

>Fabio(as Rock Deity): Gurl you have earned the right for my boon, OH!

The first session went down with the party continuing on their journey from the previous session, being lost in the woods. My character was there just because Fabio wanted him there and didn't feel like making an actual good reason for the introduction. This threw me off, because I have no idea what these guys have been up to and can't think of a good way to make this work. So I wing it.

>"Man you guys get lost in these woods too? This place is crazy as hell."

Then Fabio has his DMPC push me to the ground, giving a great amount of detail to how my character can feel his body pressing up against theirs and tells me to be quiet. When I ask why he just grunts and gets off me. I'm pretty sure Fabio just wanted a dominance scene so whatever. Me and Black Dynamite hit it off right away, him commenting on my weapon. Or in his words,

>BD: That is one motha' fuckin' good lookin' piece of wood you got there!

My weapon was a wooden baseball bat. Fabio wanted me to take a steel one but I wouldn't budge on it.

So we're traversing through the woods and not doing anything. At all. So my character comments on how he hopes they don't run into any monsters.

Cue living trees of doom.

I'm actually pumped for the fight as I've been wanting to try out combat. I notice though that everyone besides Fabio seems a little disinterested. We roll a d10 to decide what order we go in, and I actually got a 1.

Fabio states that his DMPC is still going first, and at this point I don't even care I just want to get this fight started. So Fabio has his DMPC use a weird ability where he uses water to create a NINE FOOT BLADE to cut the trees. He rolls some dice but we never see what the results are, nor do we ever see his dice rolls, and he takes out two of the trees automatically, leaving just three of them left.

My turn comes along and I be a little funny.
>Me: "Wood versus wood. This battle has been destined to happen." My character goes in to-
>Fabio: Can't that line was your action. Ronald it's your turn.

I'm sitting there with a look of disbelief on my face. I really can't attack AND talk at the same time? Needless to say Ronald destroys the other trees, even though he rolled four ones. Fabio said that he had failed so badly that he succeeded. Bullshit.

So we're done with the trees and we're moving on, when Ronald does his shotgun trick to the sky as stated earlier. We make it out and now I'm even more confused since I don't know how my character is going to stick with the group now. Fabio then has his DMPC grab me by the neck.

>Fabio: For all that trouble you caused us back there you're going to come with us and help out.
>Me: What the hell did I do?!

Fabio's DMPC doesn't give an answer and just forces me into the party's speed tank. That's right, it was a speed tank. What's a speed tank? Well apparently it's a tank, but with a jet engine in the back and giant semi tires instead of whatever the hell tanks normally have.
Needless to say that was pretty fucking cool.

Cut to five sessions later and the group has actually been through some shit. The Fox had his character raped three times within two sessions by Vatican tentacle monsters and Vatican Orcs, Black Dynamite had lost his wife to Vatican Vampires, Ronald had obtained a laser gun and become King of Canada(because he found out that Canada is actually full of flesh blob like creatures that control everything and he killed them all with his dick. Seriously, he killed them with his sperm by putting it into a rocket and exploding it over Canada. The citizens of Canada made him King because of that.), and my character had used his boon to transform his bat into a magical staff with a cow skull on top that increased his Necromancer powers. I could now revive trees and creatures as large as an Elephant.
Fabio's DMPC also discovered he was Cthulhu's son. Let that sink in for a moment. DMPC, an Atlantean who fought for the South during the Civil War and all around prick was the son of Cthulhu. After learning this Fabio's DMPC decides that since the BBEG( who was the Kraken from Greek Mythology btw) was going to destroy the world by next Friday that they should ask his father for help.
Everyone in the group, even Ronald, was totally against the idea. This was Cthulhu, the main man, the big bad, Macho Man Randy Savage in giant Octopus form, you do not fuck around with this guy. Needless to say DMPC forced us all to come along or he'd use his weird ass powers to drain us of all the liquid in our bodies.

So somehow Fabio's DMPC uses a spell to transport us to the home of Cthulhu. You know, the one THIRTY THOUSAND FEET BELOW THE SEA!!!! Everyone's character starts to drown except for Fabio's since he's half Atlantean. Dick actually has us do rolls for survival before just having his DMPC cast magic bubble around us. Not allowing us a moment to recover the DMPC starts moving to bubble further into the home of Cthulhu. Eventually we come across the big bad dude himself and we all have to make rolls to keep our sanity. Everyone but The Fox succeeds, his character passes out from sheer fear. Me and BD share a look of worry. Every time The Fox passes out he gets raped by whatever was closest at the time. And the only thing around was Cthulhu....
And us.

Some lesser Squid or whatever swims over to our bubble, and instead of just killing us starts up a dialogue with Fabio's DMPC.

At this point the rest of us start having a IC discussion, which Fabio allows if only to delay what I'm sure is coming.

>Me: "Okay boys, we're thirty thousand feet below the ocean, in the den of Cthulhu, and we ain't got no trail mix. What do we do?"
>BD: "I say we start choppin' tentacles!"
>Ronald: "I've got a laser gun, I shoot the fuck right in the head."
>The Fox: "...."
>Me: "So we're just gonna' go down fightin' then?
>BD&Ronald: "Yeah."
>Me: "Cool with me."

Fabio's DMPC cuts off our attempt to have fun and informs our characters that the squid just told him the only way to talk with Cthulhu was two ways. We sacrifice a member of a party to him, which we all vocally disagree with, or we provide a sexual slave to him. Fabio looks at The Fox and licks his lips.

At this point we're all getting a little mad IRL, this shit happens too much and we're getting tired of it. Most of the time The Fox gets raped because he fails rolls, but this is just fucking ridiculous. This is the God Dammit moment, we literally can't do jack shit besides take a stand.

Then BD speaks.

Fabio is fuckin' livid at this point, so much so that he starts screaming at us.

>Fabio: Frowns. "Fine, still won't do any good."

Now Fabio had a weird way for me to roll for success when summoning dead creatures. I had to roll a d100 and if it made it above 20 I got one creature. If 50 I got 10 creatures, if 80 I got 30. If I got a 100 I could have complete dominance over all creatures within a two miles radius. I had never gotten a d100 before.

Fabio can't do jack shit at this point, he knows it, and both BD and Ronald are giving looks, daring him to fuck with us. Well, Ronald is giving him the look, BD like I said is kinda' quiet outside of IC.

So Fabio teleports us out of there and we're back on dry land.

>Me: "I tell DMPC to encase us in an air bubble."
>Fabio: *confused* Okay he does it
>Me: "Teleport only me and DMPC back to Cthulhu."

Fabio starts to protest, but I point out I have complete and utter control over him. He literally has no way out of this.

>Fabio: "FINE! DMPC kills himself and Cthulhu rapes all of you for killing his son! The world ends and all of humanity is destroyed! HAPPY!?!"

He then stormed off and left The Fox's house. BD and Ronald both started exclaiming how fucking awesome it was to have Fabio put down, and Fox just thanked us for actually standing up for him.

I'd like to tell you I still RP with those guys, and that we actually have fun these days. Sadly we all lost touch with each other, most of us going to college in different states. I hear Fox is actually getting a Vet degree. BD and Ronald are off trying to get into Video games.

I once had a DM who thought CR was "Add all the party member's levels together." and got mad when we couldn't beat a CR 9 monster.

We were level 3.

He also liked to make previous characters of ours show up and be murdered in his next campaigns, usually with crying and pissing themselves. He had a colossal hard-on for Paladins, though, and would let them get away with everything. If you were a thief, a halfling, or god forbid a combination of the two?

He also had a habit of stealing names and ideas straight out of Anime/Video Games. Fucker didn't have an original bone in his nerdy little body.

What's that? Our instructor is called "Kusanagi" and we have to take a pebble out of their hand to advance to our next level of ninja training in a group of three? And these ninjas are working for a transparently evil empire who killed a man for expressing mild dislike of their rule, and now they want us to kill a bunch of schoolchildren and rape a teacher to "Teach those rebels a lesson"?

And when we don't do it, a ghost kills them all anyway and we never see him again?

Oh, what about that time we decided to go find the rebels, and the land suddenly turned into a swamp between sessions that would kill us when we touched it? And why did god contact me to tell me I was destined to be a Paladin? And why is god "Arcturus Mengsk"?

Well to be honest, dark heresy falling damage is quite retarded by raw:
1d10+meters in damage that ignores armor and toughness, no minumum before you roll.

Playing Shadowrun for the first time recently with two friends. I'd only played RPGs with one of the players before, and I knew he was a source of God Dammit moments from before, but I assumed he had matured since the last time we had played(a few years).

He pulled a gun on his fixer in their first meeting, all because he wanted an advance payment before accepting the job, and demanded more than 5000 nuyen before knowing what the job was.

At another point in the game, his new PiC, the other PC, steals cash from his wallet and again takes half of his cut from the job(he wasn't getting back in the same room with the fixer).

He then went into the bar, demanding his money, and when the fixer said he'd already been paid, threw a grenade and ran.

I don't think I can run another game with just these two.

If these situations didn't end as described, you're failing as a GM (also your player is terrible).

Also,

20 meters is a fucking lot. 6 meters is definitely gonna hurt your feet.

I admit I didn't handle it well, but I had just spent an hour and a half making his character with him, so I didn't want to throw away all that time because of something dumb being done. The session ended when the grenade went off.

I'm pretty sure credsticks are a common enough thing, and the money had already been presented slightly earlier in the session(but it wasn't related to the god dammit theme of the thread so I didn't bring it up here).

I'll just have to remember to bring in Lone Star.

A character can attempt to safely jump down a number of
metres equal to his Agility Bonus by making a Challenging
(+0) Agility Test. If he succeeds, he lands on his feet and
takes no damage. If he succeeds, but the jump is a greater
distance than his Agility Bonus, he must take Falling Damage
(see page 261) equal to the distance jumped in metres beyond
his Agility Bonus and ends his Turn prone. If he fails the
Agility Test, he suffers Falling Damage for the entire distance
of the jump and ends his Turn prone.

That's kind of an understatement, but at least you admit it, so you're on the right track.

The thing you need to realize is that Shadowrun is not D&D. In D&D the players can get away with burning down a town because there aren't any phones. In SR, everything they do in public will be instantly known to ALL of the authorities, who will respond appropriately. There's a reason the game is called SHADOWrun and not BROADDAYLIGHTrun.

That same idea of keeping realism goes for NPCs too. Do you really think a Johnson would be OK with getting shaken down for 5000 nuyen by some punk runner? Hell no! He's going to use his considerable resources and contacts to make that runner's short life a living hell.

Same with the bar owner who has to replace all the fixtures that got blown up. That PC just made a new enemy.

"Hey gnolls, these guys are dopplegangers, go kill them for me."
>Nat 20
"Wait, he's the doppleganger, not us."
>Better nat 20
Long story short, I get beaten to within an inch of my death, lose a really good axe, fuck up my chances of further infiltration, and fail to save my family that was apparently held hostage. All because the DM rolled 5 d20s for the group of gnolls, and decided the one 20 went to the leader.

Because it's a misreading. It's 1d10+(1 * meter), not (1d10+1)*meter. They only ever clarified that in the later games though.
