NEW GEAR
新装备他们说只有烂工匠才会怪自己的工具。或许是对的,但我还没见过那张用玩具琴、塑料架子鼓加两把扫帚吉他录制的专辑成了白金。简单的事实是,有钱才能生钱,在娱乐与媒体的世界里这点同样成立。外面相当多车库拥有成名的才能,但没有音响系统,哪个音乐会都不会把你的经理当回事。要是你连经理都没有?那你有得忙了。
INSTRUMENTS
乐器剧透 - :
Instruments are the difference maker for musicians, comparable to the kits that most other
craftsmen use. At the entry level are Simple instruments, the kind that you can pick up at a WuMart or a pawn shop. They’re enough to entertain the family for the holidays or woo a teenager,
but you’ll never cut a deal with one. Instead, you
need a true Professional-grade instrument. The
bar for entry keeps many a young dreamer on the
wrong side of success, but for those who truly
want to dive in, this is where the work begins. In
truth, the main difference between a Professional
and a Rising Star is the speaker system; the latter
has enough amps to take up the whole trunk, or
for a whole band, a dedicated van. This is when
you should have a roadie on staff, as these things
start getting heavy. Lastly are the Big Time sets,
with stadium-worthy speakers bigger than an
ork, and each one sounds just how you like it. For
those who enjoy smashing up the gear on the
way out, a replacement instrument’s a thousand
nuyen.
乐器让音乐家与众不同,可类比工匠使用的工具。有入门级别的简单乐器,能在物美或当铺买到。它们足够用来在假日娱乐或追求青少年,但绝对不能谈下合同。相对地,你需要意见真正的专业级乐器。准入限制让许多年轻梦想家与成功失之交臂,但对那些真正想加入的人来说,这里才是开始。事实上,专业级和新星级的主要区别是扬声系统;后者的放大器能占满整个后备箱,或者如果是整个乐队的,则需要一台专用厢车。这时你该找个随团技术员了,事情开始变得复杂。最后是成名套组,有足够体育场的扬声器,每个扬声器比兽人还大,能发出任何你想要的声音。那些喜欢离开时砸烂装备的家伙注意了,一个替换元件需要一千新円。
SYNTHSTRUMENTS
合成乐器人机界面的引入产生了全新的音乐风格,让那些手笨但脑子好的人能演奏出在脑海里回响但永远无法弹出的音乐。四十年前它还是尖端科技,但时间流逝,我们发现合成乐器变得和普通乐器一样难演奏,你依然需要练习。只要一小时和正确的组件,任何乐器都能被改造成合成版,为乐器加上外部合成链(External Synth link)。外部合成链能与贴片这类基础DNI或更有效的数据接口配合——外部合成作为接点。精英中的精英则使用内部合成链,在乐器制造时嵌入,通过贴片使用时内部比外部合成链好不了多少,但配合数据接口,可以达到新高度。

注意,吉他、键盘、歌手的麦、大号的价钱都是一样的。决定价格的是乐器的品质,而不是种类。
INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH
死亡乐器剧透 - :
Shadowrunners being who they are, it didn’t take
long before someone had the bright idea of installing a weapon into their instrument in order
to sneak it past security. These modifcations are
somewhat complex and always have a negative
impact on the instrument’s quality. Each modifes
the instrument’s limit by –1. Treat each weapon as
the SR5 equivalent (p. 442-45) but with –1 Accuracy due to the awkward design. An Instrument
of Death cannot be concealed, but noticing the
weapon function is treated as if it were a hold-out
pistol (–4 Concealability Modifer)
An Instrument of Death has a cost equal to the
instrument plus double the weapon’s cost, and an
availability of the weapon +2. Weapons that may be
used are: knife, club, stun baton, monoflament
whip, any taser, or any hold-out pistol. A combat
axe, katana, staff, or sword may be used but are far
easier to spot (no Concealability Modifer)
狂奔者毕竟是狂奔者,没用多久便有人想出了把武器装进乐器里以便躲过安保这个好主意。改造很复杂,还对乐器品质有不良影响。每个改造都会让乐器的界限-1。每件武器视作等同于SR5里的武器,但因古怪的设计,精度-1。死亡乐器无法隐藏,但要注意到其武器功能时,视作袖珍手枪(-4隐匿性调整)。
一件死亡乐器的价格等于乐器价格加上双倍武器价格,该武器的可获得性+2。能够使用的武器为:匕首、棍棒(译注:这里指的应当是具体棍棒而不是分类)、电棍、单丝鞭、所有泰瑟,以及所有袖珍手枪。也可以使用战斗斧、大刀、长杖或刀剑,但它们十分显眼(无隐匿性调整)。
