-
Intending to limit the archetypes to only these:
- Combat Mage (Wizard)
- Street Samurai (Fighter)
-
Additional notes:
- Cold open the game.
- Players already know each other.
- Start with level 2. Multiclass available.
- Disregard encumberance, within practical reason.
- Combat Mages can only carry 1 magazine to begin.
- Does not need to worry about material components.
- Street Samurai starts with 10 magazines.
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 side effects from cyberware.
- 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.

Feedback from players
- Needs more work, but not disappointed.
- Some of the SR4 to D&D conversion rules can probably map to existing rules.
- FullAuto SuppressiveFire 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.
