Okay, a little background. I'm running a Saints Row style campaign where the PCs are the leader and lieutenants of a (currently) minor gang. Now, for those not familiar with the Saint's Row game, one of the activities in it involves driving a car around while a prostitute services a client in the back seat. Now, in my campaign, a rival gang runs the same kind of gig, where the Trick and the Talent are picked up and driven around, providing a mobile and secure environment for the customer.
The Love Machine
Bulldog Stepvan. (¥35,000)
Middle Amenities. (¥100)
Pimped Ride - 1 (¥800)
Spoof Chip (¥500)
Interior Cameras (¥1,600)
Road Strip Ejector (¥800)
Smoke Projector (¥700)
Oil Slick Sprayer (¥500)
Total Price - (¥40,000)
The interior cameras are intended primarily for security, but also provide another revenue stream with amateur porn production when work is slow. Can't have too much of the talent idle, now can we? 8) They are VERY RARELY used for blackmail, as that type of extortion is risky business.

Hmm, seems like a nice enough ride. Do you have anything to insure the client's privacy? Wouldn't want the guy driving it to get...distracted. I'm thinking something like that window they have between the passenger and driver in Limos.

Having known a few guys that worked as bouncers and DJ's at fully nude strip clubs (where there's shower shows and such), I can report back what they feel about that sort of stuff.
"After a while, it's no longer distracting."

I'm a Licensed Security Officer and Crowd Control Officer. Yeah, pretty much, so that's probably why I overlooked it. Still, it's not a bad point but with the middle-class amenities we can assume that privacy screens are a part of that.

Needs some sort of biometric locks.
Ya know, to make sure that it don't work for nobody but you.
-
I would offer my clients better than middle amenities.
-
for low lifestyle skanks willing to shag in a van?? ever seen bangbus? that would be a totally unmodified dodge van, so maybe street lifestyle? or low at best?

It's a blowjob van not a celebrity limo.

This is a Hippie-esque Shaggin' Wagon, however! We're talking plush carpeting on the floor, walls, and ceiling! Discoball! And Fine Corinthian Leather Bench Seats!
And a amazon warrior slaying a dragon painted on the side.
And Moby Dick's Bong.

don't lie, it's only the finest Louisiana Juggernaut Synthahyde that 4 minutes of 2XS porn can pay for.

What gutter did you find something as ancient as 2XS chips in?
-
hehehehehe i'll never tell.

I would kill for a Moby Dick's bong, or Aladdin's hookah.

It's a Supernatural reference. Even comes up later.
"What's the last thing you remember before you came here?" "To be honest? My second bong hit."

Still it be epic 8)

Just remember, Puff-Puff-Pass.

The perfect tie in to food fight. Heading to the stuffer shack for snacks, then ninjas!
-
After the fight: "Stupid cheap Korean knock-off ninjas."
-
Least they're not Chinese ninjas, they'd leave you craving action half an hour later.

Have to remember that one.
One of the people that I might be running for is going to have a Elven Bio-Ninja who addicted to Ninja Sims.

how the hell do you do that?
you find dozends, hundreds of people to GM for, but nobody to play with?
-
"Sure, I'd love to check out Shadowrun! You're GMing, right?"
Get a group together... And then it all falls apart. And I want to be a PLAYER, damnit.
-
Well, to be fair, after all i have read about/from you, i would want you to GM for me too . .
Granted, my characters would die every 5 minutes or so, but i think i'd have fun none the less . .
-
Five minutes?
...
I think I can do better than that. I GMed Paranoia as a professional demonstrator.
-
i never played/really heard of paranoia . . i gather it's pretty deadly though . .

There are five clones of you on ice waiting for you to die.
It's *THAT* deadly.

and that may be the problem, you think you shouldn't run SR the same way as you ran Paranoia,,,,,
agricultural property is very cheap in SR. and no harder to find than in the realm of your friend the computer.
-
I am not deadly in Shadowrun. So far, I have zero fatalities of PCs.
Arrests, OTOH... With one guy almost ready to go to Hollywood Correctional before he got rescued HEAT style.

Back to the subject of my original post, although the amount of love that CanRay is receiving means the thread hasn't wandered that far... :P

Middle Amenities covers some of the necessities and comforts involved in a middle-class lifestyle. The Pimped Out Ride modification make some of those comforts... more comfortable. All the comforts and accessories you could want to make your ride enjoyable, provided you have the right company. ;)
So yeah, I guess I'm lovin' you too, CanRay, for seeing where I was going with this setup. (Hence the Emphasis)
Oh, and 4 minutes of 2XS porn goes for ¥900 these days? I'll have to have my fixer dig out his old stockpile. (He never throws anything away. Which reminds me, he's still got an old Banshee for sale, one previous owner and slightly "leaky", if anyone's interested.)

"Damn, we gotta get away, to The Love Machine!" "I can't believe I let you guys talk me into using this thing!"
"Hey... Why am I suddenly astrally perceiving?"
"Oh, yeah, I got it set to hot box a combination of Vancouver Blue Mary Jane and some primo Hawai'ian Deepweed as soon as the doors are locked and the engine starts!"
"They're shooting at us!"
"Aw man, they're putting holes in the back! The smokes slipping out!"
"Why are they pulling into the Stuffer Shack's drive-thru?"
"I don't know, but that sounds like a good idea, I really want some soy sloppies..."
"Fraggin' lightweights."

Cheech and Chong as shadowrunners?

Throw in the Ork Elvis Street Sam and you got a deal.
-
Ork Elvis is the Face and Physical Adept with Martial Arts and lots of firearms. Buddy is the Six-String Street Samurai. :P
-
jerry lee lewis as the driver? or james dean?
-
H.B. Halicki drives.

He's the Man in (the) Black (hat). Hacker, obvs. :)

Mechanic (http://youtu.be/rWHniL8MyMM), CQB (http://youtu.be/-1BJfDvSITY), or Shootist (http://youtu.be/qZONhM75uyI).
But, got to say, the man knows pain. (http://youtu.be/SmVAWKfJ4Go)
EDIT: Stolen from HentaiZonga (http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showuser=15884): "Johnny Cash is a Night One technomancer." Obviously with black fur.

Given his love of guns, more like a weapons specialist and only if he carries a ".44"
;)
Dude, this is turning into one of the most messed up Runner teams of all time! I LOVE IT!!

I saved the best for last...
Their fixer?
Hunter S. Thompson.

In the first shadowrun campaign I ever played back in the early 90's, we had an NPC street shaman who was older fat Elvis - complete with white sequined outfit and cape. He was a rat shaman initiate iirc. He used to have eating contests with my Troll Street Samurai (who wasn't nearly tweaked enough from the template in the old Street Samurai Catalog). Chinese Buffets trembled in fear when we showed up.
We ending up going through Harlequin, and at the very end, the rat bastard turned on us, and shot my Troll in the nutz while invisible so he could steal my truck to get away from the party.
I'd have had to buy vat grown nads if we'd kept the campaign going, but the GM moved out of town. :(
But for me, Elvis is always going to be the rat shaman sneaky git in food-stained white sequins.

What, no Man Named Sue? :D
On a related note, I once played a Changeling (Purple Skin) Cyclops Ghoul who was a Sorcery Aspected Magician with the levitate spell. He also played the Saxophone. *waits to see if anyone gets it*
-
Nope no idea. ^
I am speechless for most of this topic....
My best guess is a Purple People Eater. <.<

Yup. He was the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater. (Even if the song makes it clear that the alien isn't purple, it eats purple people. But I went with the popular conception.)

It's the link included in CQB.

One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater. *facepalms* Now that song is stuck in my head.

do only partially purple people count? like people with purple finger/thumb tips?
-
I've decided that I'm going to make a bunch of these characters, and use them when I run Demos.
...
Damn you all!!!

OK, new character... Tom Waits: Discuss his role.
EDIT: I'm thinking Magician of some sort.

Rigger or Hacker, obviously.
Why?
Because Tom Waits in the van.
-
Tom Waits For No One. (http://youtu.be/jCNDZY4vXPs) (Barely safe for adults.). FYI: This is one of the first music videos actually made, if not the first dedicated music video to be made, and won an Academy Award. It was never shown on MTV (Where it was made for.), I can't imagine why. :P
-
Whistled up my Posse (OK, the one guy that's outright said he's willing to help with Demos), and he came up with some damned good ideas for additional options available:
HMHVV-Infected Michael Jackson (in the Thriller outfit, of course): Toxic Pornomancer?
George Thorogood (Which position? Fixer, while drinking his bourbon, scotch, and beer?)
Freddy Mercury: Pornomancer
And, the ULTIMATE Mr. Johnson: Morgan Freeman
I'm also going to add Troll Samuel L. Jackson and Dwarf Bruce Willis: Street Samurai and/or Muscle.
-

New Character: Jim "Mr. Mojo Risin" Morison
Obvious role: Shaman

Lizard Totem?

No, no, no. Wild Cards already did that (http://wildcards.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Marion_Douglas). (Although Buddy Holly was Shaman after the Typhoid Croyd incident.)
