I've posted a recruitment thread within the IC thread from Ember if anyone wants some action?!? Trip across Redmond, should suit 1-2 PCs. I've also started a seperate recruitment thread for Emerging Conflict which some of you might be interested in?!? It's my intention to link it in with this thread at some point, although it happens in 2070... Cheers A I have a few related and non-related questions... 1. The time/date is different for the thread I am currently in. Can I still respond to the offer? 2. The 1 karma/2500 Nuyen rule. How would one go about obtaining expensive equipment like say a force 4 power focus (100k or 40 weeks of gaming) without taking nearly a year, real time, to get it? Or is that the intention of the system? b. I get the idea behind the karma but not the money. I'm just looking for some clarity if someone can explain it. |

I can only really respond to 1. : I've got no problem with you following a thread out of sequence and provided your character doesn't die horribly in Grimm's thread I don't think it will be an issue - and then there's always quantum physics and parallel universe theory if something aweful does happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/talker.gif) . Anyone else is free to disagree with me - I'd check it with Grimm though to make sure he doesn't mind! You could follow up on the post sufficiently far in the future that Grimm's mission will be over and you're free to take more work?!? A |

Aria,
I should have mentioned this in my post but Kayden operates under the persona 'John Smith' aka Kaneis (Greek for 'nobody'). He is not a shadowrunner per se, he just wants to find his brother and go back to Germany to pursue his career in the magical arts and doesn't want any of this to follow him. Smith is an orc with a penchant for custom suits and smells faintly of onions. Smith is the one who will be meeting Ember. Sorry for the confusion. |

Ok, no problem...will Ember know that Smith is a magic user? Doesn't matter too much about a rep, that's why he wants to meet you in person! I'll amend my post slightly to reflect your orc persona (good disguise! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) A |

Yeah, I figure being a mage will outweigh being a weefle to potential employers. And thank you

I take it your orc persona is 'Physical Mask' rather than a complicated 'real' disguise? During the course of the meet I'm going to offer you mundane back up...I'm quite happy for that to be an NPC and I've got a couple in mind but if anyone wants in on this one then that works for me too (assuming Kayden wants backup that is?!?)

Yes, the disguise is a physical mask
As for backup, I'll have to leave it to Ember. He's the only one who knows whether or not the job can be done by a single shadowrunner or if more would ensure its safe delivery. (READ: I'm cool with others joining in the fun...) |

So is there anyone out there who wants in on a jaunt across Redmond?!? If not I'll set Kayden up with an NPC and away we'll go...
A ps. Daedalus, do you have an Invisible Castle account for rolls etc? Would be worth adding to your sig... |

Intuition + Assensing = 4d6.hits(5)=1 for goon 1, 4d6.hits(5)=1 for goon 2
Summoning watcher: Magic (3) + Summoning (3) = 6d6.hits(5)=1 - bleh Watcher resists: 1d6.hits(5)=0 or not so lasts 1 hour Charisma + Will vs 2S drain: 8d6.hits(5)=2 - no drain |

I'm thinking of generating a character over here, either an ex-Aztlan ork soldier with lots of cyber issues, or a hacker girl who uses shadowrunning to pay for her tuition. Now, I have some questions and comments on the whole of 2072. sorry if I seem conceited, these are just ideas, and I know that I do not have much weight to throw these out, and am in no way criticizing the thread and idea and concept (a trio of awesome) in any way. So without further ado:
I noticed an earlier post, sorry if I can't recall whose was it, that mentioned that with the weekly 2500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) , it is difficult to gather the money for some higher end stuff and gear. While I have NO SR experience, for me the payout for the jobs seem to be one of the highlights of the whole setting, most of the time, you are doing it for the money and reward. May I suggest removing the weekly nuyen, and establishing a rate for missions instead. If there are characters without a run, but actively posting, they can get the weekly dough maybe. Second, what I noticed in the IC thread is that there were all sorts of places and interactions within. While awesome, maybe it is a little bit tedious to find a reply for your post, or finding a way for characters to meet for a run. Could we maybe make a separate 'tavern' thread, a place where runners go because they now there are good chances for runs? Sorry if its too D&D, it just seems a little bit less daunting for the newb here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Now, back to generating that char, which could take up to a month, kinda swamped at work now, but highly interested in the game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . |

Where's everyone gone? Seems like it is only myself and Daedalus in the IC thread at the moment?!?

I'm happy to GM for those waiting for Unsound...we could skip ahead in the timeline to around March which should neatly miss anything that you are currently on, just keep a point of edge ready to avoid death when Unsound gets back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Let me know if there's anything sort of run you'd particularly like to do otherwise I'll see what my imagination can dredge up! The other alternative is to come and play Emerging Conflict which I'm going to try and relaunch today...that would be a prequel to 2072 so I don't see why you shouldn't submit your current characters there if you like?!?

That way, unsound still gets to run his story, and the rest of us IN that story get some facetime. I'll take you up on that, even if others don't. |

I'm fine with that. It looks like my other PbP is also dying, so I'll be free to join the Emergence PbP as well.

Great...do you want to pick a time and post an initial post like before...whoever posts first sets the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Any requests for run themes? A |

Probably not. I've been far too busy putting .308s in every raider, Legionnaire and rampaging tribal in the Mojave Wasteland to actually finish the character.
