Running a Counter-Strike style Shadowrun? If you're going to be playing online with friends, why not just play counter-strike? Or a suitable Shadowrun-like video game? Say, Monaco? Pen and paper shines as a social event, a way to tell a story, and an amazingly versatile exception handler (you). It's not the best medium for online death-matches. |

How do I design a Christmas-themed horror adventure? Came here to make sure Krampus was remembered. I'm not disappointed. |

What is a good way to handle a multi-plane adventure? Changing fundamental physical constants you say? Perhaps the speed of light?. "Alright everyone, roll your initiative and adjust for your current velocity." |

Can a familiar be a character? I imagine a sense motive wouldn't yield much. Puppets aren't that emotive. But detect thoughts should kick back "GETITOUTGETITOUTGETITOUT" and other similar mad rantings. |

How to kill a troll in D&D 3.5? Well, every morning I pass a fortitude test and wake up. I grapple my shoes on and tumble-check down the stairs. I diplomacise the family, craft some breakfast, and wield my one-handed spoon. I'm not proficient, but I manage. Then every 6 seconds I make 2 vicious stabbing motions at my bowl, because I'm lvl 6. The wife usually just stares and asks me to have a sit, but I explain that the penalty for being half-prone, coupled with this proficiency thing, the miss-rate would make breakfast take too long. Aftewards, I of course loot the bowl. |

How to convey the tone of Shadowrun Aww come on, nothing conveys the tone of shadowrun like anti-squatter police raids! |

Why and how to force people to turn their PAN in active mode? Oh, those helpful lads in security are always so JOLLY when they explain things to me. This "party submission position" is rather awkward though. |

Fantasy and magic in a primarily realistic setting @AlexP Ah! So you specifically want a story about breaking the veil between the mundane and the fantastic. You give your players the experience of shifting the world from a low-magic mystic one to one where people commonly swing cockatrices around on a stick. Neat. I'd definitely go with the idea that magic is coming back. It was gone for a long time, but now weird things are getting born and holes are opening to the fey world. |

Fantasy and magic in a primarily realistic setting Well alright. I was trying to justify the existence of a veil. Because you KNOW your players are going to do their best to puncture it. Others have had good ideas like keeping it regionally tied, or "coming back into fashion". Have a plan for when they haul a dragon corpse through town, otherwise your "soft veil" will last approximately one session. |
