Personally, I've had only one unarmoured character (Billy, in Malek's Roadpunk game on this board) and I've found it a really interesting experience.  I'm finding he's a lot more contemptuous of danger that all my armoured characters even though he's more vulnerable.

I've run two hard drives on mobo's of all ages without any problems.  You could try borrowing a spare drive off someone or picking up a second hand one cheap and fitting it to see if it works before shelling out for a decent one.

I think we tend to forget how lucky we are on boards like this.

Have you thought about adding a second hard drive instead?

As for building computers, if you can handle Lego you can do that as well.

Dog Soldier, do something useful - bomb France!

The mook's redoubled efforts finally get Ivan's attention.  Letting go of the bloody handful he heaves his body over, smashing him against the side of the van.  Surging to his feet (as much as he can), he uses his body weight to pin him in place while his huge, muscular arms force his head back, exposing a vulnerable throat.  A bestial cry of triumph drives his teeth down in an attempt to rip out his windpipe.

The one I read recommended boiling mercury in your kitchen!  And there was a recipe for an explosive so toxic it was more dangerous not to explode it!  Unless you're planning to give it to someone you really don't like, don't bother.  Unless you like a good laugh.

I've just got the DVD for this as well.  Interesting stuff about the shooting, I'll have to keep an eye out for that.  BTW, in the American release did you get a little fold out card thing with a couple of short interviews and a couple of production notes on?

I'm using a mini-ITX computer (mini-itx.com).  It's not silent, but it runs without a fan on the processor so it is quiet.

Updated Asp Stats

Small Asp (16"/21")

Mel; WA +1; Conc. P; Avail. C; Dam 1D6+1; Rel VR; Range 1m; Cost 35eb

Large Asp (26"/31")

Mel; WA +1; Conc. J; Avail. C; Dam 1D6+2; Rel ST(26")/UR(31"); Range 1m; Cost 35eb

They also come in a non-metallic version for an extra 20eb.  For x3 cost they can be made in high-tech materials which will raise reliability one category.

Asps give a bonus of +1 initiative on the first round if fastdrawing, and +2 to any hold manoevers attempted with them.

Ignoring the tickling his ribs are getting, he shifts his weight and lashes back with a foot at the cowering scum, stamping him into the back doors repeatedly*.  At the same time, almost without thinking about it, steel fingers twist flesh, trying to pull it free like a dripping red lump of putty.

*Being 6'10" has it's advantages.

The recent ressurection of the 'too much armour' topic has got me wondering - how many people ever run characters who don't wear any armour at all?

Congrats on the paid employment Arch!  So where do we apply for your black ops team?

Cyborg attracting the attention of an unaugmented collegue -

"Hey, One Point Oh [1.0]!"

Or to borrow a term from Ivan, refer to them as 'ghosts', because they're kind of insubstantial.

Got any pics?

A hammer?

Do you mean flex, or permanantly bend?

You're not from Arkansas are you?

Nice one, Split.

Having said that, I might get myself the Trojan Christmas Box Set to be festive.

No, but it's disturbing that you refer to yourself in the third person.

I opted out of christmas last year and I'm doing the same this year as well.
