    Ahh, the art of Cyberpunking everyday things.
    Player: I wish to purchase an alarm system for my car.
    GM (As the sales rep): Sir, would you like lethal or non lethal?
    Player: *eyes open wide* I can get lethal?!

    First edition Shadowrun has an introductory scenario called "Food Fight'. The PCs visit a 24 hour convenience store moments before a small street gang tries to rob the place. I have run the scenario dozens of times, even in other systems. It was reprinted and revised for 3rd and 4th edition. Highly recommend, the players always have a blast.

    I'm finally about to try to run a cyberpunk game using the Red Edition. My initial intro to the cyberpunk genre was reading the fiction in my uncle's copy Shadowrun 3e when I was a teenager in 2009. I chose Cyberpunk instead of Shadowrun because I prefer the Cyberpunk mechanics.

    If you're comfortable lying to the real estate to make the whole thing less embarrassing/awkward you could always claim that you have a friend whose name is actually Scott Brown (who lives out of state for story convenience) and it's his birthday soon and you're going to visit him and you'd love to buy a bunch of their merch as a gift for him.

    Towards the end of your conversation, you discuss armor in cyberpunk. I would like to point out that you have to purchase the head armor separately. Unfortunately, they didn't really name it in a way that distinguishes it properly- you end up with light armor jack body and light armor jack head, but they are two separate pieces of armor. I would fluff the head armor as a helmet or kevlar mask or something.

      @@JonJonTheWise OK, yes that makes sense. I have a specific question that's completely unrelated, and that is about monthly payments like trauma team coverage and apartment rent. How is the passage of time measured? Would I deduct the proper amount of eddies from my pc's once a session, or completely at my discretion as I, the GM, can decide the passage of time between sessions and could even use those payments as a "squeeze" to make my players more desperate for gigs and whatnot? Thanks again.

      Copplestone (with 2 p's) castings not cobblestone. It's Mark Copplestone's company, he made those sculpts for Grenadier (and also did some stuff for GW back in the day). He's updated a few of the sculpts (minor differences. The rock band set is now more 90s grunge than 80s Ramones inspired for example).
