Quick question, and I might already know the answer but if you go with an implanted commlink, I take it you need sound and image link implanted to actually use it, unless you link your head with peripherals... which seems counter productive


Well you probably need something to project the 'link's output on to; but DNI devices are an odd thing to think about. An implanted 'link should function completely on its own without external peripherals, in my opinion, using your imagination (or mental visualization) in order to display its output.

Also, I guess George qualifies for some serious cyberpsychosis.

I'm not sure how massive a pain it would be for you guys to do this, but would it be possible to port your character sheets over to this format like Jango's sheet. I find it a lot easier to read. If you use version 1 you can just punch your raw stats in since you've already done the calculations and the like. If you have a dropbox folder you can upload them there, otherwise you can email them to me and I'll upload them.

Actually I'd like to know where Jengo got that sheet; it's a bit different from the form-fillable.

I've seen it played both ways. Mostly though, I see an internal commlink working like your regular thoughts/memories work. You can think words to yourself but generally don't "hear" the subtleties of specific speech patterns of various people (if you've heard a movie quote or are good at impersonations your mind can fill in accent and such, but I see simple thoughts as coming across with out much inflection). With images you can think back on your memories, but for the most part you don't have a super detailed image in your mind (unless you are far better at that sort of thing than me).
So, if you want crisp/clear images and sounds, you need to have an image link/sound link internally also or on glasses/earbuds.

It's really a GM call.

Lol. I made it myself copying the pages out of the book and then overlaying text. It's not setup as form-fillable currently, though I was planning to do that eventually. I can make a blank one for you guys if you'd like.

Please do, the form-fillable tends to come out like this when saved and uploaded to dropbox.

It's also a matter of how unsettling it would be to have a 'feeling' that you are getting a com-call, followed by the 'idea' that your boss wants you to come in an hour early. That'd be creepy.

That said though, I've always said that both a sound and an image link are included in essence cost of the comlink, but they only work for the comlink itself, even if other ware is connected to your PAN.

For some reason I can't download any of these fillable sheets right now; it keeps timing out, and the only one I could download won't open.

No worries. It's proving to be a pain so just format your sheet as best you can as a post.

@ RestlessImp.

You can go right ahead to the meet, or at least get yourself to the club and I can take it from there.
