The pressure is on now...my daughter called and told me to my delight and horror that she is a Shadowrun fan and wants to join my group. No problem I got this.......

[Reaver]

No. You. Really. Don't.

Run man, ran fast! Run far! Never stop running!


Oh.

Welcome to the club.

[FastJack]

He doesn't have to really worry until she says she wants to use some "augmentations" from the Augmentation book.

[Kat9]

You know this thread just begs for a joke...

[GhostWriter]

This is bad? This dimension is strange.

[Mirikon]

Well, I'd say welcome her to the group. Some fresh blood and new perspectives never hurts at the table. And she might surprise you with a character concept you haven't thought of before.

[Reaver]

Yes, but depending on her age, there goes all the "adult", "sick", "twisted" plot lines.

His characters will be forced to change how they relax. Gone are the b!tch3s and b33rs! In comes playing parcheesi and drinking soy milk.

No more kicking ass and chewing bubblegum, now it's calm, rational conversations to solve our problems.

No more raiding mega corps for top secret paydata, in with runs VS kitten mills to free the fluffy kittens!!!

[Mara]

OK..1) How old is your daughter? 2) Are you the GM or a player? 3) How could you not know your daughter
was into Shadowrun?

[Mirikon]

Unless the kid is 12 or younger, there shouldn't be too big a change, Reaver. Just because someone isn't able to vote doesn't mean they can't talk about the sick and twisted. Hell, you see as bad or worse on the internet all the time, if you have even the slightest idea where to look. If you want to tell me that no underage people have seen the 2 Girls 1 Cup video, for instance, I'd say you were being naive.

The what? video?    Now I feel naive...  Maybe I've been using the internet wrong...

Oh, unless the video is about two girls sharing one cup of tea and having a nice chat? Nooo....? oh well...

I've heard of that video, but never seen it. From what I've been told, though I thank my lucky stars (I've also never been to the 4chan website).

[Mirikon]

I won't describe the video here, or even link to it. If you haven't seen it, or heard about it, then simply go to Wikipedia, and you'll get the gist, without the graphic details. Or you can go to YouTube, and find videos of people's reactions to watching the video. It was a big meme about five years back.

Suffice to say, there is a lot of crazy drek out there, and you'd be fooling yourself if you thought kids didn't know about it. Putting the 'kid filter' on Shadowrun is an insult to the kid's intelligence.

[Reaver]

I think that all depends on family values mirikon.

My kid was watching violent movies with me at age 12. By age 14 had a job while getting good grades in school. Has been exposed to alcohol and mild drug use, not to mention sexuality...

My best friends kids... Well, let's just say not so much... Violent movies and games are forbidden to him, let's not even get started on sex, booze, drugs... Job??? Yea right... And he's eligible to vote in 3 months.

My co-workers kid is 16 and has been in and out of rehab and counciling  more times then I care to mention, and is banned from attending every school in the city....


Don't assume you know what happens in other people's homes... You make yourself look like an ass. For all you know, wolfrider comes from a strict household like my best friend (who plays SR with my group).

dude i just googled that. you are one sick f&"k!
lol.

[Zilfer]

Seriously some people did not know that? >.> I'm pretty young here probably compared to most of you people out there that may be why I know about THAT video. Just don't watch it, you'll save yourself nightmares i'm sure. I have never seen it my sister has.  She's two years younger than me and she also apparently watched teh "pain olympics" For the love of god why? Now back on topic.

That's pretty cool, I actually hope my kids get into Dungeons and Dragons or Shadowrun or something of the nature. I think it would be fun to watch them grow, and see what their imaginations come up with.

>.> I think I was watching Violent things way before age 12 though.... o.O'
