After Hours: Shadowrun - Shadowbeat
Added 2019-07-13 13:00:02 +0000 UTCA listener recently sent me a copy of a Shadowrun supplement called Shadowbeat. This book covers pop culture, a rare topic for a RPG book. In order to do this book justice, I got a lot of people to discuss it, so this episode is extra long!

a Quake LARP? :O

2019-08-10 19:23:28 +0000 UTCBy the rules in Shadowrun it can only do so much stun which then bleeds over to killing but to kill you outright well at least in 4th Edition that would be hard and require 20+ success's

2019-08-01 08:37:56 +0000 UTCDarn i thought i commented about the fact the Starter Set for 4th Edition Shadowrun included a entire scenario about getting the lost CD of some famous Rocker in setting. They make explicit comparisons to Elvis in popularity and then he vanished. It adds a bit about how you can run scenarios more based on the music industry and its ok not great

2019-08-01 08:33:44 +0000 UTCTo add, I like the idea about the book as setting up other things to in Shadowrun beyond just corporate wetworks. I’m not surprised it didn’t work though.

2019-07-22 07:02:46 +0000 UTCGod help me that I know this, but Urban Brawl used rubber bullets. Although how non-lethal a .50 cal rubber bullet is is up for interpretation.

2019-07-18 15:04:31 +0000 UTC..apparently Urban Brawl is supposed to be a "non-lethal" game. According to something I just read. i'm unsure how a light machine gunner quantifies this.. but it would explain why a frozen player isn't just murdered. Also in one of the novels there was a Troll band called Darwin's Bastards who's music was described akin to "..a car being disassembled with an minigun."
