Campaign

Cold opening. Early afternoon, spring, overcast, light breeze. 2070ish. Cross and move down the street of the downtown area. Steal the briefcase from the target. Quietly move back up the street and exit in the vehicle.

Return to the rendezvous location, an office building. Negotiate the payment. Find out the case holds a device that restores essense loss. Double cross by one of the others in the room. Attempt to exit with the MacGuffin. Return to vehicle and drive off.

We should create more fighting styles.

Needs more work, but not disappointed.
Some of the SR4 to D&D conversion rules can probably map to existing rules.
Full-auto suppressive fire damage seems lethal enough, but since it happens over the 6 seconds of a turn it needs a sustained action rule.
Feedback turned into a discussion about whether SR or D&D culturally appropriates more and how much is okay and what is offensive.
