Well, we ran out of time, so I didn't make them walk out of the Congo...

Hehehehehehe. Ruski is a vnegful (and lazy) GM.

Hey, it's not my fault his wife wanted him home by midnight-thirty.

Actually, I was kind of happy that we got to skip that part- Ruski sometimes draws out the ending of a run to the point where it's unbearable. (First our jeep would have gotten stuck, and then we would have had to walk, and then tanks would have caught up with us, and then we would have walked some more, and gotten in a fight with a dire gorilla again, and then more tanks, and then we would have gotten to the hot air balloon or whatever, and then we would have been flown back to Seattle, and then we would have been double-crossed, and have to figure out how to get the Johnson, and then we do some legwork, get ready for the second meet, and finally get paid.)

Sometimes it's a good thing when time runs out and we have to cut it short. Sometimes.

Sounds like Ruski has the Steven King Syndrome.

Has a hard time ending? Not that I don't love my brother or enjoy the games he puts together, but sometimes it gets a little drawn out.

I don't know- I'm supposed to run the game next month (I figure we might be switching off between all of us, so everyone has a chance to play, and everyone gets to GM sometime, so we can have multiple views, different games, and everything), and I'm sure they would have things to bitch about in my games as well.

Hmmm... I should think about it and figure out what they would have  problems with, and then try and manipulate it so those factors aren't present. Hmmm... interesting idea.

Just do what I do, ask the players how they liked the game. Just wait a day or two before you do it, that way they've had time to think about it and will give you an honest answer.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

well, time always helps get things rolling.

I try to have three phases in a game:
Legwork (getting the job, getting the info, and any mini-pre runs that need to take place)
Action (getting into and out of said place)
and closing time. (getting paid, and spending your phat lute!)

And getting the injured to a hospital?

[Gabriel]

Hospitals?? Those are for wimps with SIN's. Give me a black clinic any day.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

Nah, They just typically hire one of the colorfull street-docs to patch them up and pump em' full of antibiotics so they won't die.

typically you can get them to come over for a case of cheap wiskey, and a couple thou...

Or you can do "favors" for them in exchange for services rendered. One of my best Level 2 contacts was a street doc that I would steal medical supplies for. Worked out rather well.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

Yea. I've bought many a streetdoc service with the supplys pilfered out of the back of a docwagon van or T-bird...

[ROOTless]

In the Old World? I doubt it.
Topic, people.

[Gabriel]

Yeah, has ANYONE found those PDF's yet?

Gabriel

PS - And as for the Olde World, medical supplies there would be a leech, several dirty knoves, and a bandage that's been passed down for several generations.

[Ruski]

the mould acts like a type of disenfectant!
