Recruitment: Wartorn Aftermath, Uncle Sam Houston wants you! Options

[Konsaki]

I'm going to try my hand at GMing a forum game for SR4 and I'm looking for three or four players. 400 BP build and you get X2 Cha in free contact points.

The game will take place in San Antonio, Texas with the following time line in effect.

[ Spoiler ]

4 Jan 2070 - Texas’ troops launch an unexpected attack at Aztlan controlled areas of Texas. The offensive is moderately successful, but lacks the strength to fully push Aztlan forces across the Rio Grande. As Aztlan is mustering it’s forces for a counter attack, CAS main troops reinforce the lines and the resulting stalemate lasts for days. CAS enacts a blanket boycott of Aztechnologies’ products inside CAS borders.

8 Jan 2070 - CAS forces start to get pummeled by Aztlan forces until a freak explosion behind Aztlan lines severs vital avenues of resupply. CAS uses the following opportunity to push farther toward the river and takes more land.

10 Jan 2070 - Unexplained mishaps behind Aztlan lines cause their force’s moral to drop due to lack of supplies and reinforcements. When questioned during press conferences, Aztlan denied any problems with resupply trains.

13 Jan 2070 - Rumors float around the matrix of shadow runner involvement in the mishaps that continue to happen, but no one can back up the claims. Hard core military buffs suspect elite special forces from CAS.

14 Jan 2070 - CAS forces are able to move up to the Rio Grande where they dig in. In a statement to the world, CAS declares control over the entirety of Texas and plans to stay.

15 Jan 2070 - Texas declares martial law in the state, and the guard and army are posted until normal centers of government can take over. CAS Army forces entry into Aztechnology facilities and starts searching them. This act infuriates the heads of Aztechnology who in turn run Aztlan, but the Corporate Court doesn’t intervene.

19 Jan 2070 - Heavy fighting at the river has cause numerous casualties on both sides of the fight. Due to building pressure from the surrounding country governments, CAS and Aztlan declare a ceasefire.

29 Jan 2070 - The search of Aztechnology facilities turns up nothing of interest, but CAS forces maintain control of the facilities. The local governments are slowly taking over and running special elections, and martial law is fading out. The surrounding governments have threatened economic sanctions if CAS and Aztlan continue the war, so on the surface the war is in an armistice, but in the shadows the war goes on.

I wish to make this a good game with good roleplaying and some roll playing. The first mission will be small to let me get the hang of GMing on the forums, and get the teamwork started.

PM me your character's background and character sheet before 1200 CST on 13 Oct. If you want, you can put a concept of your character in here. I will choose characters based off of background and char sheet contents by, hopefully, 14 Oct.
Please describe what your character did and felt during the quick war and what she/he did for the month afterwards. The game date is sometime in Mar 2070.
Edit: Just to make sure you guys know, the characters are normal shadowrunners, not rank and file soldiers.

Players and thier character's name
Dentris - Armani
De Badd Ass - Lobo
Thanee - Kerrigan
Ophis - Danni

Thanks to all that sent in thier character sheets, but I am no longer recruiting for this game.

Sounds interesting... will see what I can come up with and send you a PM with the details.

[DTFarstar]

If you don't mind I'll go ahead and get to work. I'm an SR virgin(be gentle), though very experienced in other areas of roleplaying(and rollplaying depending on the game). I'm thinking probably a very stealthy/infiltration/assassin ranged combat guy. Street Sam all cybered up and good and killing people up close or at a distance. Probably draw a little influence in design from Kid Stealth sans crazy dioneycheus claws and sociopathic outlook on everything(well, maybe a little of the latter.) If that sounds fine I'll PM you the completed character sheet as soon as possible.

[Konsaki]

Sounds... interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing your char. :)

[Ophis]

I have a rigger/samurai I could finish off, basically doing drone supported fire power. Plus she's a good old mississippi (is that right?) girl so she'll be down with the whole for queen and country thing (or what ever the yankee equivalent, or where the yankee's the north). I may need some help on the american history thing.

[Dentris]

War is good for business, and business is good for me. I have a smuggler/face character i would like to try. I'll send the sheet to you with a background.

[DTFarstar]

I can't seem to find the pertinent quote in the handbook, but runners are allowed to start with normal cyber and alphaware, but no beta or deltaware right? Don't know why I can't find it...

EDIT: First draft of CS is almost done, I'll add some background to him and send him along either tonight or tommorrow probably. Big Psychological Statistics test (Take home test so it's alot of really hard stuff) due on Monday so it might be as late as Sunday but I doubt it. I hope you can be patient, I'm sure I'll miscalculate or read the rules incorrectly on something.

You are allowed Normal and Alpha Cyberware at char gen.
Just to make it clear, there are no grades to Bioware.

To those who have already sent in thier char sheets, thanks. I'm looking over them right now.
Edit: When you guys send in your char sheets, in the gear portion, put the cost next to each piece of gear like this:
Ares Pred IV - 350
Normal Ammo (Pred) x200 - 400
EX Ammo (Pred) x100 - 500
Spare Clips (Pred) x10 - 50

Also put down how many BP you are using for cash to buy gear: 200,000 Nuyen = 40 BP

This will make it alot easier for me to doublecheck your characters and sort things out on my end. For those who have already sent thier charsheets to me, please change your gear section to like I exampled and resend. Thanks in advance.

[DTFarstar]

Later today I'll go through and edit mine to reflect that. It has subtotals, but I guess that way is probably alot easier for you, sorry.

[Ophis]

I'll get my sheet along sometime in the next day or so. I have the basics down, just need to cover the vehicles really.

[hunter5150]

I have the beginnings of a southern, farmkid, ex-boy scout, hunter/tracker/survivalist in the works. However I'm not sure how much help he would be in a primarily urban setting. Any thoughts, suggestions?

ps I have a few thoughts on him that I would like to try but I do not want to post these thoughts publicly.

[Thanee]

Just send Konsaki a Private Message then. ;)

Bye

[hunter5150]

I may have been unclear. If my concept will fit into the group then I will develop. If not, I'm not going to invest the time typing it up.

[Konsaki]

It would be an interesting character to say the least, but I dont think it would work well in this campain.

[hunter5150]

Thanks for response.

I may create as diff.

[Ophis]

I think it would work, though we seem a little down on the magic, unless I missed someone.

[TheRedRightHand]

How often are you expecting postings to be made? A couple times a day? Once a day? 5 times a week?

I'd like to try out an online game, but I wouldn't want to slow things down if I can't post as often as you want/need us to.

[Konsaki]

I would like a post at least every 2 days, but if something comes up in real life, it takes priority. If everyone posts more than that, the game will have a faster pace, so post as fast as you want while not leaving anyone in the dust.
Personally, I usually check the board at least twice a day, so if you have a question or something, I'll probably get to it quickly.

[TheRedRightHand]

That's cool. Maybe I'll make up a guy and send him to you.

[Fortune]

I had a Combat Medic/Mage made up for SR3 that was from around that area, and would probably fit right in, but I don't know how he'd convert to SR4.

Don't get me wrong ... I really like SR4, it's just that I haven't seen this character in that system yet. I'd have to tweak the background a bit as well to fit in with the unique timeline of this game, but that isn't a problem, and might very well take less tinkering than one might think.

If that sounds cool, then I'll see if I can drag him from whatever dive he's been holing up in, and put him through SR4 boot camp.

[DTFarstar]

Finally got around to revising the CS with prices. Hope that is a better format for you.

I read Lobo's bio and it sounds interesting, send me a char sheet if you want.
