Well, it's not house robberies that're the problem. 

And yeah, Thin Mints are the best Girl Scout cookie.  Others I can do without, they'd get me with those.

This is the worst case of threadjack I ever saw

[BetaCAV]

Hmm. Edible RFID chips, perhaps? Some type of gummy-chip that solidifies/self-heals and activates in digestive fluids...
Someone is conducting a trial to see how noticeable they are, and how long they will function, by slipping them into Grrrl Scout cookies. However, their monitoring stations are on the low end of data security, and the ping packets have been co-opted by other advertising systems. The net result of which is that anyone who has swallowed one will be beseiged by AR and trid ads in any commercial/retail environment (a bit of extra Noise, and perhaps a Sneaking penalty). A bug sniffer can detect them, but treat them as Stealth RFIDs for that purpose.
How long will they last? Who knows?
In the meantime, would you be interested in taking a brief survey for Stuffer Shack? On completion you will be given a unique code redeemable for free merchandise on your next visit...

sounds like it should be an april fools mission....

[Sendaz]

omg, this would be like where in twitter people tweet about their meals, now they just have their food broadcast for them.

So like the posh exec would reveal he had real steak, much to the envy of those around him, while the so called vegan gets caught out by his buddies when they spot that StufferShack Big Stack in his belly.

Course a hacker could have some fun with Wrapper and twist it about.

Have the Troll broadcasting he has the remains of a dwarf arm in his belly and sit back and watch when the cops do a doubletake.

Sure they will eventually figure out he didn't really eat a dwarf, but probably not before the beatdown and forced purging.

To be fair, it is mostly soy.

That has amusing possibilities too.

But I was just imagining it as the knowbots in the advertizing nets realizing that such-and-such code broadcast on frequency X will generate a return ping on frequency Y from consumers who purchased Grrrl_Scout:Thin_Mintz, and then spamming them with AR and TriD product recommendations. "Pants feeling a little tight? Buy a Lunch Belt!" "Enjoy snacking at work? A food container disguised as a stylus holder may be the answer!" "Got NERPS? New economy-sized containers on sale just ahead."

And somehow this happens even when running silent. Now THAT is invasive advertising.

WHY am I imagining a cybered up girl scout gunzerking a pair of cookie guns?!

...a Paranormal Cookie Monster hunter?.

Dragging this thread back on topic since we now have rules for hand loaded ammo, shouldn't it be possible to make hand-loaded alchemical apds rounds ? Since the rounds' cassing, instead of the actual bullet, is in contact with the riffling of the barrel it wouldn't destroy the lynchpin.

[MijRai]

Except the sabot might damage it (those are designed primarily to facilitate a smaller round in a larger barrel/chamber).  Or the forces present damage them.

The books have gone out of their way to say 'no, you can't shoot magical bullets' in pretty much every occasion.  I stick to that ruling, personally.  Hell, the Excalibur project started as a 'let's shoot magical bullets' gun, and look what happened to it.  That's what should happen when you try to make technology and magic stick together, just like what happens with cyberzombies and other 'manatech' applications.

The argument has gone back and forth over and over again to no useful result. Hardtargets re-hashed it most recently, and undid the damage done to it in SG. Bottom line, what you can get your GM to allow into play is what you can do, as far as RAW is concerned, you can make magic arrows, or any variant on magic thrown weapons you like, so long as you follow the alchemy rules.

Pay very close attention to what types of spells can take what types of triggers.

Injector Darts may be a better delivery mechanism. I guess you could still Hand Load for an extra -1AP.

[Csjarrat]

Yeah, that's what the dart rifle, dart pistol, bows and crossbows are for. Injection Bolts etc are perfect for delivering alchemical potions.
