All right folks. I recently got my (physical) copy of Shadowrun: Run & Gun. Now, I thought the gear was nice. I thought the Martial Arts were sweet.
As some of you might be aware, I am the GM of my particular group. The PCs made it through two runs, both of which were very close to actually being a cakewalk. (Okay. The first one actually was a cakewalk. It was their first time.)
This is going to end with their third run. They are going to be tasked by the local Mafia family to hit the local Triads and (preferably) find a way to frame the Yakuza for it. So, I loaded two possible locations for their attack down with Triad 49ers and local gangers. One location has a captain/enforcer (or "Red Pole.") The other does not.
I combined my need for another Red Pole with my desire to use some of the new tricks from Run & Gun. Though I'm not quite sure I got the buying of Martial Arts and associated techniques, so double-check for me, please. This is all for a combination that will - hopefully - give my players trouble.
WIthout any further ado,

Brief Background: The hulking ex-Vory Byki ("bull," a bodyguard) who decided betraying his brothers in exchange for a higher position in the Triads. The Vory want him dead, but due to his information and a concerted effort of the other organized crime syndicates the Bratva no longer hold much power in the Twin Cities. He was in a Knight-Errant prison a decade ago, where he had little to do but watch action trids on his (contraband kept via bribe) commlink. He since practiced the showy moves from the trids he'd watched to be fairly tough with Gun Kata. Presently, he runs the Dark Mark Triad and its businesses (protection rackets, drugs, and a dedicated chop shop) out of an abandoned auto mechanic's garage on the edge of the Triad's territory in Minneapolis.
So. What is everybody's thoughts?
