Dot goes here
Dotted in, so what are we doing?
This alias's name will change later on.
Well don't go over 10 posts then.
We're playing Shadowrun the setting is Seattle...or at least named and loosely based on Seattle with aspects of the Dogs BC setting thrown in (which is similar to a hive city).
I don't have enough, or any, system mastery to make changes to character creation so just go by the book. If there is a way to do it without rolling dice that's preferable but I don't remember.
I'm thinking this will just be a collection of one-offs, mission style. If we can get a continuous story rolling then cool, if not we can play it by ear.
It looks like character creation is entirely pt buy, but I'm only halfway through reading.
So, assuming you didn't already read it. I was thinking we could start with that little Scenario in the quickstart - mostly becuase it's an easy hook, line, sinker style with pregened mooks for me to toss while we see how the system works. We'll call it your "first job" and would fit into where our game takes place like a flashback.
Good enough, I've only just started working on my character and I have a fair bit to go.
I haven't ready any of that adventure so you'll have to give me the full intro.
Statblocks done; just need to do derived stats, orginization, background.
Changed name, had to use the name elsewhere.
Profile is complete. Do we really need a background?
Nah, if I remember correctly you're Parisian and made it to Seattle for almost no reason. Also despite having money you're living in the nice part of what is essentially the slums - or at the very least your safehouse is there
Bosnian raised with a national SIN, but I was born on the steps of the french embassy which netted me a dual-citizenship.
Did a short stint with a private security firm; part of which involved exposure to a new synthetic combat-drug which ended up inducing some level of adept powers in about 60% of the participants regardless of their previous physical state (including augmentations).
Ended up moving to the states and setting up shop there to be closer to the drugs production centers (shipping costs to Eastern Europe suck); warning labels stat serious side-effects may occur if the program is dropped and I'm not too keen on figuring out what that entails.
I have a safehouse with my low lifestyle under the fake SIN of "Kyle Whitaker". It's registered as a construction warehouse/storage area and is combined with my fake commercial explosives license. My second fake SIN is "Edgar Hyke", noted firearms collector and enthusiast with the rest of my fake firearm/gear licenses. The third fake SIN is for "Charles L. Grosoff" and is used for purchasing groceries/day-to-day living and is also the registered renter for my medium lifestyle apartment.
Sounds good; I wasn't being sarcastic earlier but knowing who to address mail to is nice.
I'll work on a formal opening post here and get it up by tonight at the latest. I'm still working my way through the book but luckily pbp format allows for me to look things up as I need them - and to start I don't really need much.
Gameplay up. It's a little longer for a post, but there were some things to set up.
Let's go with 'Jackrabbit' if we need a codename.
Although not necessary it's just how the Stray Dogs will refer to you - as well as any contacts made through them.
It'll have no real effect on anything.
It's cool, whatever goats your float.
Are you carrying all your guns with you at all times? What do you have on you for this job?
The AK-97, explosives, armored jacket, remington roomsweeper, katana, and respective ammunition for each are left behind at the moment.
bump?
