Blog: Shadowrun Fun (tags: #Shadowrun #Writing #RPGs #SR4A)

I've been having a "fun" day writing up character stats for both my home game and for a recent Shadowrun project. Recent discussions on the official SR4 forums have led to me threatening to unleash the Gnats of Doom on unwary Shadowrun fans and a whole day of doing annoying (and boring) math has unleashed my need to be creatively silly. So, I give to you all, the Gnats of Doom (unofficial Shadowrun insect spirits) to unleash on any unwitting PC you so wish.

Be warned, though, I didn't exactly follow the SR4A rules on this.

Gnats of Doom
These hybrid-form insect spirits are more nuisance than true threat, though one should be careful as even small critters can cause serious damage in large numbers. The gnats never attack by themselves, preferring instead to swarm individuals that they see as a threat.

Gamemasters, have fun torturing your players with the GoD (oh, hey, funny how that acronym works. =). Because, darnit, player characters were made to be tortured. Right?
