Hi Team,

Starting a new topic to discuss and maintain any house rules we have while playing the game.

Per our discussion in the Character Generation thread I am going to play this game under the following rules for Stolen Goods:

1. You can claim up to 20 points of karma from Stolen Goods as a negative quality
2. These points are immediately converted into Nuyen at a rate of 10,000/point
3. You may not convert any other karma into Nuyen if you take Stolen Goods
4. Please be aware that if you take this quality I will not ignore the consequences.

I have seen there is an ongoing discussion as to whether this is the correct way to interpret this quality, or if it should be interpreted as an enhanced In Debt. We will assume these rules.

I was looking at the abilities of the die roller in terms of Shadowrun 6e. Unfortunately there is no custom rules set for this edition. It appears that the Shadowrun 4e rules will allow for the counting of hits but it misses two important options in regard to 6th edition.

1. The ability to roll a "Wild Die"
3. The ability to explode 6's

For this reason I suggest that we use the Shadowrun 4e rules but be aware that we will to manually explode 6's as necessary and that if a Wild Die is needed it should be rolled as a separate roll. If anyone has any better suggestions please let me know.

I'm going to rule that the appropriate firearms license will include the conceal carry license so you don't need a separate license for that.
