While I agree GM has final say even when they do just use houserules in mission games, it'll be nice to have answers to some of the more frequently asked questions by players to GMs.  Really a lot of these issues have less to do with players trying to pull a fast one on the GM and more to do with poor writing and rules design. 
 
 The ones I see are how mystic adepts work (due to accepting the FAQ), how assensing and mundane stealth interact, can one act normally after being hit by a control X spell but before given orders, how the swap echo works, how heightened concentration works, and how critical strike and unarmed skill using weapons interact.

Also how is the FAQ coming along?

Also I suggest allowing PCs to buy Positive Qualities.  It's really nowhere as broken as the book makes it out to be.  Most importantly, it'll also existing PCs to get qualities like Martial Arts and Adept Ways if they're allowed.

FWIW i'm against it it does have the potential to be quite unbalancing since there is no overall GM control on it.

In order for PQs to be bought, in the absence of a GM to adjudicate the usage, Bull would have to write up a detailed set of rules and restrictions on what would be legal and what would not.

That is pretty much outside the purview of Missions. The campaign is not supposed to create new rules unless absolutely necessary.

How would it even matter? If the rule was just "pay the karma, get the quality, 35 bp max," it still wouldn't be broken.

I think he's under the impression that buying in play lets you break the 35bp limit.

I'm really enjoying all of the Season 4 Missions. Cudos to all of the writers and contributors to this storyline.

Now that we're closing in on the end of the Season, is there a preview or Easter Egg regarding Season 5 that can wet our appetite for the upcoming story?

SERIOUSLY??????

Bull....wow....just wow.


Bug City and Universal Brotherhood are two of my favorite setting pieces ever done for Shadowrun (I have the UB boxed set). I never got to play them but just reading them blew my mind. Going to Chicago, just awesome.

That sounds great. A real mix of politics and Bug City aftermath. Thanks for the hint.

You stil can CanRay!  Just get your new GM to crack open Shadowrun 2050 and run those older classic campaigns!

Fun for the entire Shadowrun family!

Black... CanRay helped write Shadowrun 2050. I'm relatively sure (~85%) that he knows about it's existence.
