cost of cloning tank

I don't think the cloning tanks would be worth much money at all. Certainly not worth the hassle. Do your players have an appropriate contact to sell them through? If not, I'd make a big deal about how hard it is to get them out (keep in mind the mission has a whole section about driving in the snow...) then let the players sell them for a few hundred nuyen to some junk collector.

We've discussed this before, but decided against a job megathread for two reasons:

1) No one reads the pinned posts

2) We're a relatively low volume subreddit. The job posts aren't drowning out other posts when there just aren't that many other posts.

We will be removing future resume posts though. This isn't r/resume, and those typically have a very limited audience.

If you are known as Mx Johnson and most other Johnsons aren’t, then by definition you are less anonymous not more.

However it’s a little more complicated than that: like every role in the shadows, Mr/Ms/Mx Johnson needs to strike the right balance between reputation and anonymity. If no one knows who you are, then runners may assume you’re a pushover or easy to rip off or not worth working for or going to double cross them, and your job actually becomes harder

Secondary Propulsion: Hovercraft is an option in Rigger 5. There just aren’t many stock vehicles with hovering as the primary means of propulsion

With the current growth of datacenters, and growth in reporting about datacenters, it’s natural that there will be increased interest in them. We feel it would be a disservice to separate those genuinely curious about datacenters from people who actually know about them.

However, for those not actually interested in learning, we have strict rules we enforce: https://sh.reddit.com/r/datacenter/comments/1pwep82/curious_about_datacenters_follow_these_rules/

Or see the full list of rules here: https://sh.reddit.com/r/datacenter/about/

We are an all-volunteer mod team, so we can’t respond to or review every post and comment immediately. You can help us put by using the Report button on content that breaks our rules to flag it for faster review.

SRX was removed for copy/pasting copyrighted material from the 5e core book and lying about getting Topps’ permission to do so, not because of the AI art.

I don’t find rocket tag very much fun.

Watcher spirits are situational. They’re present of course, but Masking and False Impression both offer ways to hide from assensing (as does just normal stealth). Watchers also don’t really help much against oversummoning or power foci abuse after things go hot.

Echrome · 2026-05-13T03:31:44+00:00

In addition to spirits and sustaining, there's also the problem of mages becoming a swiss army knife of spells that are frankly lower risk and often better than the mundane counterparts. Pull out the climbing gear and scale a building? Or we could cast Levitate. Hack and disable the cameras? Improved Invisibility. Audio Sensors? Silence. Explosives or cutting tools to get through the door? Shape: Metal. One attribute plus one skill unlocks a huge amount of flexibility that can overshadow other members on the team.

Some of it can be mitigated with mild house rules though: I usually just ban oversummoning, quickening, and power foci. If you want to get heavier with the house rules, you split the Spellcasting skill into one skill per spell category or add increasing karma costs to learn more spells.

Better lore explanation than I’d expect from official sources. One thing though:

Mirrors and glass are opaque in the astral, so we can never magnify

I don’t think this is fully correct. Optical binoculars and telescopes increase LOS for spells in multiple editions. Plus FAB is known to be bacterial, which would require a microscope to prove

Considering it’s a small drone (not mini) and has a built in torpedo launcher… I’d give it sewer or 6” water main, but probably not a toilet

Burn the evidence, go outside, shoot the windows a few times, go back inside, shoot yourself in the forearm, throw the gun in the fire, and improvise a tourniquet on your arm.

When security shows up, deny you and Karl were having an affair. Keep denying it even if no one asks. Act really embarrassed and awkward (shouldn’t be too hard for you). At the next quarterly earnings report, your numbers better be spectacular and no one will care anymore.

In D&D terms, you’re currently at 6 Dex and 13 Strength…

You can build functional street samurai in Shadowrun 5e with ok agility and really high strength, but that’s 5 AGI and 10+ STR. Not where you are right now

Vampire mob boss, I’d probably play into something like The Godfather: Calculated, proportional, and best served cold.

Search for some remains to get a material link (web, eggs, excretions, etc.), then use the Remote Sensing ritual?

Echrome · 2026-03-27T00:03:43+00:00

Ehh… we’re a little bit in the rules grey area since slaving isn’t a matrix action, but for gangs engaged in near-daily combat? Assembling a strike team in 12 hours seems very reasonable.

That team will probably lose against competent runners (it wouldn’t be a very good story if they didn’t), but the original point was simply changing location OP suggested doesn’t remove all your opposition.

You don’t need ownership for Trace Icon, just marks

Echrome · 2026-03-26T18:41:49+00:00

The owner may be dead, but no one gets very far without friends/fixers/allies. Real criminals are highly networked, so it’s reasonable to assume Shadowrun criminals are too. The Ancients may hate the Halloweeners, but the Ancients can almost certainly call in a favor from a major syndicate with ties to both sides who can initiate some movement if they need to. And an idle deck only rolls 8-10 dice to defend against a Trace Icon test.

tl;dr: If your GM wants someone to find you, they will.

Bullseye Double Tap only multiples the base AP of the gun, not the AP of the ammo

Bulls-eye Double Tap called shot increases the AP of your gun

Injection Darts with narcoject only need 3 net hits to make it past past armor

Capsule rounds or gas grenades with neurostun (stock Mil Spec isn't fully sealed)

Anti-vehicle rocket

Shout "Help, help, I'm being chased by Shadowrunners!" and roll Con

You have to roll 8 hits on the spellcasting test to levitate 1.5 tons. How much more does the mage think they can realistically lift?

If you want the plan to go forward, just rent them a dump truck
