    We were playing a game and my players wanted to release a bunch of bees into the airducts to clear out a public space and I asked where they would get a bunch of bees; you’d need some sort of special contact or something. One of my players pulled out his phone, and sure enough we could just buy bees that day on Amazon. Now any seemingly contrived plot is met with “we can just buy bees on the internet today”

      Friend of mine was playing Cyberpunk 2020 and needed a shotgun in-game. He decided that since his character didn’t have a record yet, he would go buy one at wal-mart.

      It’s the dystopian future. Of course there’s wal-mart.

      No one foresaw that wal-mart would stop selling firearms.

    Let the man try, if he rolls a nat 20 the fountain not only overflows but also starts a bunch of different music at the same time with the fountain trying to match the different beats. A nat 1 turns on all the lights making it much harder to hide.

      Her name is Bevi and she’s the best fucking water dispenser in the world. I hate IoT with a passion but Bevi fucks. Carbonated+electrolytes cucumber, black cherry, key lime, and some of the seasonal flavors are soooo good.

        I remember there was this whole period where tech savvy Shadowrun GMs on Dumpshock were grappling endlessly with the “unrealistic” gameplay concessions that riddled the hacking rules and trying to come up with solutions that allowed for a balance of good gameplay and believable IT design.

        And then reality just YOLO’d itself off a cliff of utter insanity and it turned out the rules were right all along.

        The one thing none of us had accounted for was how incredibly stupid businesses are capable of being.
