Hi everyone,

I need a suggestion for a vehicle.  I have a large Shadowrunner team (about 10-12 people) and I'm looking for the right vehicle to navigate the Seattle city streets.  I know two vehicles is an option (and we've been doing that thus far), but I'm looking for a vehicle large enough to carry everyone comfortably (and obviously with some room for gun ports  8)).  Any suggestions from the board?
If I took it seriously, I wouldn't use lolcat terminology..

The Ford-Canada Buffalo RV. Just upgrade the Amenities and you should be golden.

Pick up Used Car Lot and use the Rolls Royce Prairie Cat. Better amenities at a base than the Buffalo, and it has a built-in capability for the Hacker to use satellites from it to do his thing.

See, I was debating picking up Used Car Lot, but the last series of PDFs all got rolled into Runner's Black Book with some extra stuff.  They're probably going to do this again.

But I'll see if anybody I know picked it up yet and take a look at it.  Thanks!

A decommisioned Lone Star Black Mariah, purchaced at a police auction by the team face, and refurbished to have gun ports added in and most of the prisoner restraints removed.

The Conestoga Vista is actually a really good vehicle. It has a very high body, and thus lots of room for mods and is quite tough. If you care about being subtle, it's a bus - who's going to look all that closely? It also has enough space to mount concealed armor and good concealed weapons because of the high body.

Runner's Black Book 2074 will have LESS stuff than the PDFs this time, as Euro War Antiques will have more in it on PDF.

Say, off topic but...

Do you think that Catalyst will ever publish a PDF with all the extra stuff Runner's Black Book had? Like a Little Black Book?

That would be pretty nice of them to do, giving all the people who couldn't get Runner's Black Book a chance to see the extras, as well as for all the people who had bought the other PDFs before it came out... :)

(waiting patently for Catalyst to take the hint)

...crud...  ;)

10-12 members on the team?  Use seperate vehicles, no more than 3 or 4 people in a vehicle.  On long trips, seperate yourselves by at least half a mile.

Why bother with concealed?

There are plenty of armored buses floating around in the more unstable-but-industrialized parts of the real world right now and, from what I understand, the typical streets on the Sixth World tends to be at least as dangerous as a Central American banana republic or an ex-Soviet splinter nation.

Because those obviously-armored vehicles still draw the attention of cops of whatever stripe.  The idea (with a vehicle with concealable armor) is so that the cop goes 'oh, another damn tour bus' and looks past it.  Unless, of course, you're a Pink Mohawk with the cops bothering you only if you're in the active commission of a crime ...

By "take", I assume you mean "Hijack". ;)
