DaWay's Shadowrun (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

I'm okay with that.

I've updated Neko to a 400 point build and am ready to go whenever the discussion thread opens up.

It seems like the next step will be to settle on a setting and decide how we all know each other.

Ok, I got the pdf but I haven't played since 2e so I'd be a bit of a noob crunchwise... But as I was reading I was thinking dwarf rigger, and low and behold there's a pregen dwarf rigger. But feel free to be brutally honest: though I have my head around the fluff and could do a good background, would you want someone who was maybe not awesomely familiar with the system in your game? And if so, would using the pregen be cool or no?

Pfff
*lo and behold...

Yes new is fine and pregens are okay. I'd like something more original but that's okay. You will have to come up with the fluff if your one of the ones chosen.

Neko: jumping the gun a bit there buddy. I haven't made my selections yet. Recruitment is still open through this weekend. I will then make my selections. As far as settings go I am leaning to Vegas.

Vegas, baby!

Oh, roger that. I'll check back in on Monday.

Vegas would be great!

I second that. Vegas could be very interesting :)

ok the applicatins so far

James Keegan - "Kikuchiyo" Human Street Samurai
RainyDayNinja - "Gh0st" Dwarf Magician
Arknight - "Steel Cowboy" Human Techie
Lloki - "Phineas "Lucky" O'Shea" Elf Face
BoggBear - "?" Elf Mystic Adept
James Martin - "Rocky" Troll Street Shaman
Ioimprevisto - "Neko" Ork Mystic Adept Face
Bilbo Bang-Bang -
littlehewy - "?" Dwarf Rigger

Here is another house rule for you guys who will be chosen

You are not restricted to only one specialization for skills, you may take as many as you like, however they DO NOT overlap.

I could alternatively play as former Lone Star Detective, Lt. Bob Evans. After Lone Star pulled out of Seattle and Knight Errant came in, Evans "retired" early and took to the Shadows after a couple of his associates disappeared under unusual circumstances during the handover. Evans has hit a bit of a rough patch, funds are running low, and he is no closer to solving his mysteries. With his bleeding heart for the downtrodden and his skills pickup with Lone Star, Evans does his best to cut a little of the cancer that infects the city.

Lloki. Either works for me.

Lt. Evans could be interesting. Phineus has the crazy-high Charisma but with Evans you could dump a lot of those points into contacts. I could easily see spending 40 points or more on contacts with a character with an ex-lonestar detective, and the detailed knowledge of police procedure cold be nice for keeping us out of trouble.

I agree. :) Lt. Evans would be interesting. And, he might have been one of the people KC spoke with when he first was trying to find his sister....

Ok all of those who have submitted a character (even pregens) I am picking all if you. I am hoping that half of you stick with it. This is 2 characters more than I was planning on so I will be upping some encounters and adding more plots. Discussion thread will be opened shortly.

Lloki please make a decision for which character you want to play.

I will play Evans, by popular demand. He is a generalist type of character, with supporting role capabilities.

Sweet. I will get some fluff together quick smart. Also, I'm from Australia, and it would be fun to play an Aussie dwarf rigger in Vegas. Would that suit you? I promise I won't type in annoying Aussie slang/drawl... Cobber.

Sounds good. Discussion tap is open.

Littlehewy that's fine. Also there will be. Acharacter questionairre I'd like all o you to answer. It will be up tonight. Those of you who want a head start it is the one from the runners companion.

Character updated

Right, but I should point out that my character is human, he went to Tir Tanglier because it was an Irish name, not because he was an elf.

I'm sorry, I think I might back out of this one up front rather than later on. The only exposure I've had to Shadowrun is a previous abandoned pbp and reading the rulebook through; I think I might just bog you guys down since I don't know the rules very well. Have a good game, though!

I am going to have to find some work that actually pays, and quick! I just paid out the bills for the month and I am tapped out. I don't know how I will cover expenses, let alone Jenny's tuition. You would think with all of the problems going on out there I would be able to tap into a little of it and maybe help the little guy out doing it. Drek, I am the little guy now.

Checking the local rumor mill for possible leads

[dice] 4 on 9d6 (5+ hits): 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6

Is this how you want our dice expression to be show?

I prefer it to be

charisma 4 + Con 5 9d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 2, 2, 2, 3) = 30 2 Successes

I'll try to have stats on Cowboy up later this evening. Long work day and even some homework tonight.....

Awesome. I'll have stats for Rocky up tomorrow. Thanks!

in case you guys didnt know discussion thread

Is there any space left? I have been looking for a shadowrun game for quite a while and would love to join. Would like to throw an ex-military mage into the mix. Race yet to be determined.

Misterlurch we had one drop. If you are to join I would like your sheet and backstory by Friday. I would also prefer noto have another awakened character in this crewe of runners.

You will have it. :)

I just want to check before I get started on spending points, Are these the characters that are present?

Bilbo bang bang is my there and James Keegan dropped.
Lloki changed his character to a human detective.

Neko is mostly focused on the 'face' roll, exploiting his status as a minor celebrity in the combat biking leagues to get favors and access, but he has a significant dip into piloting ground vehicles... should be handy back up for our rigger.

So, we could use a straight Street Sam I'm thinking.... :)

Yep. Someone with access to big guns and the expertise to use them would certainly be handy. I don't think we have anyone who knows their way around a sniper rifle, either...

What would be the enemy rating of the las vegas humanis policlub? I assume it would have 100-1000 members and sprawl-wide presence, but matrix presence and magical resources I dunno.

Also, could UCAS military count for the Records on File Negative Quality? (p.109 Runner's Companion)

Any objection to me buying cyber/bioware at better than alpha grade?

1. I don't know because I won't have the books in front of me for another 10 hours or so.
2. Again don't have the books in front of me. Off hand I would say yes.
3. No

Ah! Too late to the show it appears. I love the Shadowrun setting. Every single year modern society comes closer and closer to achieving the Matrix conceptualized in Shadowrun 4E. I almost can't wait for it to be reality.

If you ever need a replacement, DaWay, feel free to PM me.

GAH! I am typing up background info now, but the rest is done. (save for the information i am lacking on the Las Vegas Humanis enemy status)

K .. background done, contacts need a little fleshing out. I am working on the questionnaire.
