I have weird luck I can go all game with massive successes but then I will glitch so freaking hard

Some people just have bizarre dice luck. I have a homie who, some games, cannot roll anything but outliers; if it's D20, he'll have sessions where he can't roll above 2, unless he's getting 20's.14 dice pool in shadowrun? How do you like glitching? He built an Imagine character with a 97% chance of success on their main skill. That game ran for ~2 years, weekly, and he rolled that check at least twice per game.

Not once did he succeed.

My katana has a 13 dice pool and we've been playing 8 weeks. When I succeed I roll 6 or more successes everytime but when I fail a roll I glitch just as hard there are no in betweens so I either look like a bamf or I wiff out hardcore last time I glitched my ares predator 5 misfired into my leg. But when I rolled hard 2 sessions ago I blew up a armored helicopter with a called shot to the fuselage with a single exploding round from my m1a4 and took out 7 highly armored. So it's kinda cursed rabbit foot luck I either kill myself or I kill them in style

So I kept it and I found out that it apparently has a cyber ghost of a young girl named Ed stuck in the van. She controls the van. She gets pissed she does crazy shit. If we are nice she saves our as. My car is a freaking NPC version of a Stephan king novel

Ed?  Like this?

I once had a series of dice rolls so bad in a Warhammer 40k game I literally chucked hundreds of dice into the street from the doorway of the shop. Weeks later, there were still d6's in the road.  It was a very busy street, too.

Your new friend Ed sounds nifty. I loathe to think wha circumstances caused her to haunt the van. Is be more worried about that than her.

Yeah I suspect your GM is...  not really knowledgable about Shadowrun's world.

The players think its a Cyber Ghost named Ed. Doesn't mean that is what it actually is.  And every GM should do something to expand the mystery of the universe. Nothing is more boring than knowing everything in a game.

Tough to deny the GM having the thing communicate with them, save them / bitchslap them, that sort of thing.  It is possible, of course, just more than a little weird.  And here's the thing - we, as players and especially as GMs, SHOULD know most of what is possible in the game - especially in the non-magical world.  If the van was possessed by a real ghost, then you edge into the unknowable.  The cyberghost is ... on the edges of what we-as-players-and-GMs know as being possible.

Take a look in Aetherology and read about Grimlins (the spirit, not the quality). Might be one of those ...

That doesn't seem like a typical glitch for an Availability Test (normally a glitch means you've attracted unwanted attention, not gotten a totally different vehicle), but the way I see it, there's nothing stopping you from just taking the Bulldog (which seems more expensive than a Honda or Hyundai would be), having the thing repainted, running a tag eraser over it and putting in morphing license plates. Almost all car windows are tinted nowadays anyway.

Sounded like a perfect glitch to me. Only thing to make it better if it was a throwback.

Normally it could be argued as fair. But Availability Tests have rather precise descriptions on what glitches do, and in comparison this is utterly excessive.

bad rolls shouldn't be in the way of good roll play

As i see it your GM give you a beautiful occasion for a lot of fun

I remember a game of Scion (WoD) where I was playing a face with no combat skills and at our first fight in a bar I got downed at the first punch a low level fire giant grunt throw at me, I had to found a solution to work around my "no combat skills problems" and fast. So I jump behind the bar and begin to play with the water tap/thrower and piss off the Fire Giant. Basically no bonus but a lot of fun 

The idea is just to work with the problems the GM throw at you and have fun doing so
