we all have em im sure, and if not Melinko and I can fill this place up with ours.. we could start with Melinko rolling to hit the ground and rolled mostly ones... he claimed he was now flying (mind you my step brother and I were really young when Melinko showed us this game... ) So... I was reading Jorindas post and for some reason it reminded me of a fun night I had one time (sorry bro you were in VT for this one) We played a SR game where the more powerful you made your character, the bigger flaw they had to have, you still had to use the priority system but priority levels didnt count (meaning you could make a character using all A prioritys, all B, all C, or mix and match a few A, few B ) NEWAYS.. Daisy Duke, the one I have submitted in Melinkos campaign was born that night, I used all priority As to make him, his one flaw was that he truly believed he was Daisy Duke and had to act like her ( i was a dukes of hazzard fan when I was a kid) so.. I had a super decked out troll with wires and crap sticking out all over him, strutting around in daisy dukes and a red button up tank top, tied in a knot in the middle. I shouldnt have to describe the best moment, ill just give you the short version and let your imagination do the rest - Daisy felt the best way to get into Azteck was to flirt with the guards
- a 10ft 8 in 870lb Troll walks into Azteck wearing disy dukes and a red button up shirt shaking his tush
- the guards stared wide eyed and open jawed long enough for everyone to sneek in..
and lastly... the guards were reportedly hospitalized for many months afterwards...

Our decker, Phoneixian, tried 3 times to get into a green system that was held by the Yakuza, (*this was 2nd ed, which was more enjoyable to us because we got to watch him try his hardest to fial each time). His avatar was that of a Phoenix, (*giant flaming bird for thsoe who are not familiar with the legend of the Phoenix)
4th time.
Ok, something is differnt, you dont see the Samaurai you have fought the last 3 times
Good

im plaYing an ugly, and very grumpy elf in Paradise Lost *I think that was the campaign*
first) no one tells me about the trip wire monofilament, luckily, im wearing dual tanto's on my l,ower legs which helps keep me from getting my legs cut off.
2nd) we dont want to get into the water after getting to the island because we saw something large behind us *not going to spoil it for those who havent yet played it*, so we put a mana barrier that tilted downwards. my char cant see it as i jump for it, and missed with one foot, so i landed in the water. a fish touched my leg right then and i ran full tilt onto the shore
my new running name for that char: Clutz

I was reading Jorindas post and for some reason it reminded me of a fun night I had one time (sorry bro you were in VT for this one) Which post was that? Let's see...I've seen Jorinda make a few amusing posts... My latest is pretty funny. The party loses a fire fight, takes some serious wounds, and decides to surrender. So the post begins with... "Jorinda is barely aware as the Marshals pull her up to her feet. They put her against the wall, and pat her down for weapons before cuffing her, their search thorough and professional. If she'd been in better shape, she'd probably make a joke about being handcuffed. For now, she is silent as they lead her and the others outside to the hidden door they must have come out of. "

All right, so I started playing in a RL 4th Ed game. There are 8 of us, I'm the only chick, and the only social type of character.
The GM asks if we want to pool our money and buy a lair (after I've already spent most of mine) We want a place with room for storing 8 vehicles, so he offers us an abandoned Pep Boys so we spend 100K to buy a year's worth of payments.
I get the bright idea to form a Limited Liability Corporation, and Creative Solutions, LLC is born. I'm the President, the Gunslinger's the CEO.
The GM then offers us a bonus: since we're incorporated, we can have a group health plan, so he gives us 25% off all Doc Wagon contracts. So instead of paying 25K for the gold service, I only paid 18,750, leaving me with some extra cash to spend.
Should be an interesting group...

Ok, we botched a mission where we had to break into a Yakuza warehouse. After convincing one ofmy follower's, aka my rigger buddy to drive through the door of the warehouse, we load up and run for it, being chased by 4 yak cars. When we get into an alley way I ask how the cars are located, which was side by side, staggardd. I then ask for the TN to shoot the inside tire of the lead car, and my friend and I make the shot. Car A serves to its left, into Car B. Cars c and D, which are folllowing catn stop fast enough, and slam into the first two cars. 2 shots, 1 blown tired, 4 dead cars, no more chase
our pacafist mage then goes astral and looks back upon the scene and is spotted in astral.. a chase and fight ensuse and "she" gets away. When she returns to her body, she looks at VAnder (me_ and phonexian, (aaron_ and says "There are only a couple of them, we can take them!"
Both of us draw our guns on her and say "Who are you, what did you do with Luellan."
oocly, Brad is confused as hell, till our GM reminds him that his char is a pacifist, and wouldnt say that.
we totaled up the loot from the run, and found out that we had stolen a crate of BTL simsense porn chips. and thatnks to a great negotiaton role, we made over 300k from a run that was supposed to be 10k total.
PS, Aaron and I both got karma for the car stunt, and was told that we were going to get it for that one......

The Corp goes on its first run. All we gotta do is steal a truck, with a bonus for bringing in others. 20K up front, 40K on completion. We have a rigger inside and can send him a message.
We formulate our plan, including having tarps made with electromagnets inside to cover up the Ares logo on the three trucks. The rigger is sent a message to lock the building down shortly after the shift change.
The Rigger gets creative. He locks the place down, but also sets the track guns to shoot anything that moves with gel rounds. He also isn't able to quite get away, and leaves his foot in the door (literally) trying to get away. We get called to extract the guy (a dwarf) in addition to the trucks, for another 40K (the rigger's cut)
The scanners tell us they're looking for the rigger, who we've now nicknamed Stumpy. Our Mage casts an illusion to make the rigger look like a sleeping Labrador with a missing foot.
We put the magnetic tarps up and drove them to the rendezvous point and turn them over. They ask about the rigger, we tell the guy "he's your problem."
Of course, while we're all happy about the way it went off, the GM asks. "So did anybody take the tarps off the trucks?"
Silence.
Good thing the Fixer is my PC's cousin. We can get them back in a couple months...

We had been gaming for some number of years in person but our GM wanted to try something new. This game session we would have to raise our hands if we wanted to say something out of character. Most of us were getting the hang of us, but we would still forget and our character would start talking about game stats for no reason.
The run was to kidnap a 12 year old decker so he couldn't finish his work on some project for a upstart corporation. We were babysitting the little brat when he locked himself in the bathroom of the hotel we were staying at. Our street sammie gets a little angry at the kid and kicks down the door and in the meantime I have my hand raised making child molestation jokes at the sammie's expense. the next sequence of in game events was the sammie successfully kicking in the door and declaring "I'm gonna *freg the little kid." After the rest of the runners talking to the sammie the kid was a little more cooperative lest we let the sammie loose again.
We stoped the hand raising shortly after even though it lead to some humorus results.
*he didn't say freg but I thought I'd convert to SR lingo for ya

GM to Terry (male, playing female elf) during Character creation "Do you want the Venetian or Starlight dress...... (short pause) and why am I asking a guy this!?"
Terry, with straight face : "Does that come with the pretty pink lace?"

The same RL game, different run.
We finished a run (getting rid of some gangers) and found out that they were working for Aztech. I make our Johnson pay for the info, and he wants to get even. In the meantime, we're offered a run out of town. A truck containing a bio-agent (that causes paranoia) had overturned, and we were supposed to 'clean' the truck (remove the corp insignia). We decided to collect some of the spilled agent, and used it for the 'revenge' run.
Our Mage used elementals to drop it into the middle of the factory building. The Aztech Mages went after him, but the attack was dropped off when the agent took hold.
In the meantime, the Mage's picture is now on the Trid, but only as a 'person of interest'. Our client was appreciative, but now will have nothing more to do with us...doh.
And on top of that, some bounty hunters were stalking us. My teammates captured one, and he called in the reinforcements. While we all got out alive, our headquarters was blown up and firebombed.
Currently, our new safe house is smack in the middle of a Halloweener hideout. We just have to help them out and sell any weapons or stuff we get to them at a cheap price.
I told the GM, she's (my character) not part of the deal, and the first one that tries, she'll kill on principle...

Well , so here´s a little one from good old germany . After several runs as a GM , I finally managed to talk another one into GMing the run , so I could have some fun trying out my Wolf Shapeshifter . The things that happened in this 2 day fiasko : I bought a tin of black paint from a man standing in his garden , paying 2.000€ I took from our Dwarfs bag . Well , I`m an animal , nobody told me there´s things like shops . I started a gang war , because I used the paint to "mark my territory" by painting something over a gang sign on a house . When our elven sneaker told me to "make some noise and create a distraction" , I killed a man and threw his body out of a 3. floor window into the street . Our hideout now has a large supply of fresh meat . The forests around the little town we were hiding in now have no more deer . But then , just when I was thinking "A wolf does not belong in a shadowrun team , not even one as weird as ours" , the Dwarf learned that you indeed can teach an old dog new tricks . He taught me to "fetch" enemy weapons . But thanks to a little event in a small house , I`ll have to GM the next session again After killing about 30 gangers using a combination of unbelievable luck on our part an crap dice in our GMs hands , the very last man standing hit our Dwarf with a lucky shot and killed him instantly . I knocked on the final door , and when it was opened , I tried to pull the ganger out of the room . The next 3 rounds we tested our strength , each time rolling exactly the same numbers . Finally , I was able to pull him out , rolling so umbelievably perverse numbers that the poor man was not only pulled into the hallway , but against the next wall , were he broke his neck . Our elf beheadet the next one comming through the door with one clean sweep . The Dwarf arrived at the scene a little later (stairs are not a short guys friend) , took a look around and dropped dead , without a head . The ganger that killed him was not one of the cybered out freaks , or one of the armour wearing , punpgun wielding maniacs , no , it was the janitor with his small derringer like pistol

Actually , he was the only "innocent bystander" in the entire building Got another one . One of our players got knocked down so badly , he had to spend a few days in a local BuMoNa facility . Since the group had complained about not getting enough action , his first night in hospital featured the following scene . For the full picture , use your imagination to the fullest and try to see the picture in technicolour , with sorround sound The room was dark , the night was quiet . In the bed , a single man , extremely heavy looking , his body not just in perfect shape , but well beyond that to a point were you can honestly say "this guy is all muscle" . A shadow moves towards the bed . In the faint light the shape of another man can be seen , drifting stealthly to the bed . Between his hands , the dark and silent shadow holds a thin piece of rope . He is all set to strangle the man in the bed . Just then , the man wakes up and realises the danger he is in . In a desperate attempt to save his life , he grabs the rope , and after a brief struggle he is able to wrestle it from the hands of his attacker . Not willing to let his prey escape , the stealty assassin grabs the first weapon like thing his flailing hands can grasp . A bedpan . Acompanied by an almighty *Boing* , the guzunder bounces off the head of the woundet runner . He swings his shovel like fists in self defence , but he misses completely . Another heavy *Ding* sounds through the room as the bedpan hits his head a second time . Again , our poor beaten hero tries to take a swing at the attacker , and indeed he swings , about an arms length past the masked face in front of him . With a thunderous *Gong* of bent cheap thin metal on skull , he gets hit a third time . Only the gods know why he is still awake . But he is , and now he gets angry . His next punch does connect , and the assassins head disconnects from the body . When the nurse finally arrived at the scene , the first thing he did was demand a softer bedpan . As soon as I get some sleep , I´ll tell you about his 2 friends , the cops and the problem of having an elf with no grasp of basic law and order

GM: Freddy, after matrix dodging ricochetting bullets, jumps back and hits the floor on his stomache, the grenade explodes blasting the back of the forktruck which flings into the air and comes to rest on top of freddy. the forktruck landed with its forks on one side and the top on the other side of freddy partially trapping him (escapable though) the smoke from the blast clears
Freddy: Hah ! missed me, croaks Freddy weakly from beneath the few tons of stabbing truck, creeping energetically from beneath it... reeling in the wire.
this is from our current campaign here on the boards.. I got a chuckle from it and thought id share

Well , now a perfect exaple of what distraction and confusion can do to you
After the bedpan incident , our dwarf and the elf visited the hospotalised runner . They were stopped by 2 cops , who politely but firmly asked for any form of id .
While the dwarf wisely remained calm and friendly and showed his id , our elf declared "No . Who do you think you are ? You got no authority . You cannot demand to see an id"
After being arrested , the 2 were put in a cell . The elf was still grumbling and arguing wether the cops could demand to see his id or not . The whole group joined in on the debate , trying to get our elf to understand that indeed the cops can and will ask for a form of id , especially after an attempted murder at the scene of the crime .
Just then the dwarf smiled a little wider and said "And even more so when they see an ugly , smelly elf and a dwarf wearing full body armour and an assault rifle . Incidentally , do you think than cell door can withstand a grenade ?"
Seems I shouöd have payed more attention to our dwarf , but being like it was , I simply forgot to get him disarmed before throwing him in the cell .
