Lucky13

..Just a little thought from a real life experience with a motorsycle wreck..

A guy ridding a bike going about 35-40 mph slammed into the side of my car & flipped over the hood, rolled a couple of times, shook it off & jumped up OK..

HEH, when I asked him if he was alright, the crazy bastard said "awe hell yeah, I fell harder jumping out of planes in 'Nam.."

So while yes, you can get <I>seriously</I> messed up in a motorcycle wreck, you can definitely come out of it out ok..

Especially if youre a BIG, armored, cybered out motha'!

A little training of sorts could also give you the ability to fall "correctly"...

Not to get off topic, but...

The best series I've EVER seen has got to be "Berserk"! It's a fantasy style setting minus elvs, orcs, & dwarves...

The main character Gats is pure bad ass!

Definitel recomend if you dig anime!!

hmmm favorite guns...

For the big stuff I like the:

-Militech Cyborg Rifle(RIF +1 N P 7d6+3'.300Mag' 30 20 ST 500m)

-Hell Bringer(P +1 J/L P 7d6+3'.666' 3 1 VR 80m) saw it in the Blackhands Weapon Guide book somewhere..

Other wise I like the Nova Arms 'Arno' & the City Hunter as well! City Hunter does look cool & its not a totally CrAzY Hand Cannon...

Mono Katanas are fun as well!!

Trigun!?? I just got the whole series on dvd, it's a pretty damn cool series! I'll have to check out Deadlands...

My gaming pals & I havent played for about a year, but I've been trying to get them together for it again recently. It looks as if we may actually play this weekend! I'm so excited!!  

On one mission, that I dont remember the main objective of.. We tracked our target to an ancient Aztec/Mian (what ever) temple in a South American jungle. Snuck in to find a huge cult & that the temple was a space shuttle of some kind powered by a super computer that the cult worshiped.. Barely getting out a live & before it launched & losing my arm, we some how tracked where it went & found out the corporation we were working for was behind it.. We then stowed away on on a shuttle heading to the same space station. Got there, fought, got captured, woke up to find out we had been cloned.. uh oh.. were we the clones or the real players? We figured it didnt matter since we were alive & ok.. So we blew the Super Computer escaped on another shuttle.. My character losing his right arm, yet again! When we got back we had a shuttle full of cyber so we sold it all, got filthy stinking rich, changed our identities & retired..

So how does EV work with Armored Cyber or Subdermal Armor? Should you reall recieve an EV pemalty since it is now a part of your body? Especially Subdermal. & shouldnt Body size come into play? I mean If I have a body of say 13 the heavy layers of armor are going to effect me differently from the kat with a body of 7.....

When I was playing a solo once. My fixer friend & I were jumped by a booster gang & when I went to do a fast draw to plug one of them I rolled a 1! Shot my buddy standing next to me dead in the chest!

Same solo had the same arm blown off 4 times in 3 sessions!!

Its the first cyberpunk adventure I ever played & I loved it! ...though it was a lot of fun.. I'd definitely recomend it!!

Thanks everyone! Is that Nueromancer the entire book? Also, any sites or groups that have another format, like pdf or even word doc would be really cool...

Does anyone know of place to download copys of good cyberpunk books?
