Shadowrun 5th Edition (Inactive)

'Sall good. If you get the time to play, feel free to drop me a line, Harker.

Glad to see you back, Hawatari.

(A bit late but) Welcome back to the cybered fold Hawatari :)

Hey PH, I forgot the exact details, so correct me if I'm wrong; Tarnish had something in the shipment (or paid for the entire shipment) and that's why we had him as a person of interest to investigate, correct?

And s~~#ty about the eaten post. I think you might have about as good luck as I do with the ever hungry boards, lol.

My bad about not posting yesterday, woke up really late for work, and I can't get a solid enough signal to post at work. Which is kinda lame-sauce to be honest.

No problems.

This time, it was my own damn fault - consequence of trying to play PbP games while working is sometimes you hit the Esc key on the wrong keyboard and it eliminatest the post rather than backs out of the menu you thought you were working with.

Tarnish was a point of interest per Mister Johnson. He somehow acquired some of the missing shipment, and may have been the tip-off to the originator that something went awry.

WB Hawatari.

Sorry to see you go Harker.

I need to get my hands on these books you guys keep mentioning. These other hold-outs are luring me to hug them and squeeze them, and call them George.

Oh my, a Savalette Guardian you say. How sexy.

Glad to see that Jet is still finding work planet side, lol.

And, in case anybody else needs this as a reference:

18 crates (reinforced plasteel, maglocked), each 110cm long, 45cm wide, 45cm tall. Each crates masses approx 60-75 kg.
4 crates of building supplies (builder & reinforcement nanite applicators, with 2 control terminals and installed software)
1 crate of small arms (total mass 150kg)
1 crate of ammunition and accessories for small arms (total mass 110kg)
6 crates of assorted soy product, including flavoring and spices for Aztechnology SoyFormulator Mod 6, Mk II.
1 crate (disassembled Aztechnology SoyFormulator Mod 6, Mk II)
3 crates assorted soft goods (clothing, bedding, footwear, including 4 concealed armor vests and 2 synthleather armor jackets)
1 crate medical supplies (including 1 EverReady LifePack Medkit, and refills)
1 crate consumer electronics (including commlinks, trodes, portable trid projectors, flashlights, lanterns, earbuds)
Vehicle and Route Specifications:
From:<REDACTED>
To:<REDACTED>

Route: Proceed north on I-405. Merge onto SE-522 east. Exit at Maltby, Paradise Lake Rd, proceed to drop off point at <GPS COORDINATES>

There are also a few moments of video included, approx 5-6 seconds total length. The rear vehicle, a large maroon pickup truck with dual axles in the rear and a bed filled with something under tarps, suddenly slams on its brakes just after merging onto the 522. A dark blue Ford Americar follows suit, pulling off to the shoulder about 1/2 km ahead. Both vehicles sit for a second before merging back into traffic. The camera feed goes to static just after they do so.

Thanks so much!

Son of B&~@~es those rounds are expensive!! 120 per, argh!!

Welcome back to the boards Wyrm!

:)

120¥ for 10 rds. Yeah, they're pricey as heck.

BTW I am leaving for a silent retreat from April 1-3. I know o won't be able to post on the 2nd, and am hopeful I can post the other days, early on the 1st and late on the 3rd.

Meh. I'm used to firing rounds that are 215¥ or 765¥ each. It ain't the cost of the round, it's how you make it work for you. ;) And of course, ammo for a katana ... ;)

Oh, for 10 rounds, thats better, lol.

Jeebus, what where you firing? Ya know what, on second thought, I don't want to know :P I'm trying to avoid thinking about drone and vehicle modifications and ammo at the moment, lol.

Assault cannon or gauss rifle rounds, I'd imagine.

That sounds about right, lol. Big, expensive booms. Well, not so much booming with a gauss rifle, just hella damage.

Technically, light pistol rounds.

Chemicals are expensive, but if you can hit, and used properly, you only need one per target.

Ah, yes.

Capsule rounds can add up quickly.

Totally forgot about capsule rounds, lol. The only rounds more expensive then missiles, hehehe.

Uh, okay, I mistakenly thought we had left the shop before discussing run details. Having thought we had left, I had guessed the others would have headed towards the vehicles, not hover just behind Red while he talked to the gangers. My phone was almost dead and I knew I wasn't going to be around a computer until Monday, (shrugs shoulders) had to make due with what I vaguely remembered. I didn't even get the chance to mention I wasn't going to be able to post Sunday.

I think I misinterpreted this as meaning that there will be a daily positing expectation for the game.

Posting schedule: I will typically be able to post long and detailed (number crunchy) posts earlier in the day (GMT -5; 0900-1300 ish) and respond or create shorter RP driven posts later in the evening (1530-2300 ish).

Is our current pace of posting a lull - or will the game likely be traveling along at this speed?

I am on and checking the posting.

Currently, the players are standing at the doorway of one lead - and specifically have stated that some of the PCs have not elected to move the scene along.

I will move the team to the next scene if no other actions are declared by the early PM tomorrow

I will move the team to the next scene if no other actions are declared by the early PM tomorrow

I appreciate your speedy reply and intent to shoo us along with your cosmic GM broom of shooing should we dawdle.

Hey PH, sorry I've been posting slowly over the last couple of days. I'm pretty sick right now, and doing little more than sleeping.

Okay, I'm finally back among the semi-living once more. On a related note, I haven't been sick like that since I was a kid. And boy, am I glad I haven't been, damn that sucked :P

I regret to say that I must bow out of the game.

I really appreciate the opportunity to play, and wish all of you good journeys.

Sorry to see you go, Synxol.

Happy to have gamed with you.

FYI All: looks like we have two interested parties looking to join the game.

Both are elves, one a former Tir na'Nog "soldier" shaman, while the others a CalFree adept gunslinger.

Working on polishing their characters and thinking up a way to introduce them into this run (most likely a third party hire to seek out these missing crates or their thief), should have more details soon.

Is the scene on pause until we get the other 2 players on board?

Nope. They are coming from another angle.

Currently, you all are cursing in Red's van, trying to come up with a way to make pants invulnerable or so other means of approach to the Cutters turf.

Nice to meet you all, I'll be playing Cavan "Murphy" MacDermot a mage/face. On the upside since we will be in the Redmond Barrens I actually do have a contact out there.

FYI: I am leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, we will be out and traveling until next Saturday. I will have my phone and should have internet, but don't know just how much time I will have to invest in gameplay.

Have a good vacation :)

Have fun, I have a vacation coming up in about two weeks now. I'm going to Disneyland! But I should have access to internet.

So what is the date in game. I know February, but is it before Valentine's day, after, exactly on?

February 8, 2076. Now technically February 9, 2076, since it's past midnight.

Okay, so if we say went to the touristy area, and needed disguises would vending machines selling flats also have holiday themed outfits, for an additional price of course. You know how corporate valentines day is, and of course half off chocolate day.

Cheap valentines "disguises" could be acquired for little cost. The fashion spell specifically does exactly that, so th at would work as wwll.

Touristville isn't going to need disguises, really. Hell, Hawatari lives there, at least for now. (Lowest she's sunk in a long time.) The only time you really need a disguise is when you're pulling a penetration - and to be honest, a visible face-covering serves more as an alert than it does a disguise. "Bad guy about to do/actively doing bad things!!" A false face - nanopaste disguise, that sort of thing - is far better, though granted it's more expensive ...

Only reason I bring it up is because Cavan is po. Can't even afford the two extra letters. Nanopaste disguises are expensive, that's why I have Fashion (change your clothes) and Makeover (new hair, makeup, nails, etc). Put the two together and you can go trick or treating at the same house like five times. Facial recognition software will still get you, but the average guard probably won't.

Sorry all, had some computer issues, followed by the return of computer issues. I would have just used my phone, but it only connects to Paizo to upload when it wants to. Which is pretty much a 50/50 shot :P

Flying to Disney World tomorrow, my posting will not be as quick, but I will try and post once/day.

Yay disney!

Definitely check out the Hollywood Studios Star Wars stuff. Very impressive. We missed the big fire works there, but even from Epcot it was awesome!

Greetings from Disney World. Luckily we got upgraded to the Saratoga.

I built a backpack mage. I just realized that I built a backpack mage. Granted I love support style characters, so this could be fun.

Backpack mage?

As in, pull something out of your backpack?

"Than you should probably be paying closer attention. I've been using nothing but my eyes for a little while now, the lights where turned off 2 blocks ago. Not my first rodeo sweetheart, any thing else you'd like to tell me how to do, like how to drive, maybe how to breathe? I seem to forget how to do that." Red chuckles, the elf's unblinking gaze never left the road, flicking through Low-Light and Thermovision. 'Great, she's a back seat driver.' the rigger thinks to himself.

... dude. If you'd actually posted driving without lights, or turning your headlights off, this would be cool. Otherwise, c'mon.

Backpack mage, like I follow people around with various sustainable spells.

So did I miss something about posting? Otherwise, I'm not sure why the posts stalled out.
If so, let me know what is needed from me.

Or is there something else we are waiting on?

I'm just waiting to see how team van approaches.

If no activity, I will move forward with Kerrah & Cavan tomorrow am.

Unfortunately, I must bow out of the game. I've too much going on in RL right now for me to reliably post. My sincere apologies to the group.

PH, I really enjoyed the game, and you've done an awesome job breathing life in to 5th edition Shadowrun, once again, thanks for letting me join.

You chummers have a great game!
