NEW GAME (Players Wanted), 4to6 players For RUN Options

[MMSlayer]

I've decided to try and GM a run. It's a run created for four to six players, no more, no less. I will be accepting characters based on those I recieve first.

Here are the character rules. I think that a character is more important than the actual sheet; I'm pretty lenient overall. I care more about a plausible character than I do a godlike one with no personality.

1) Any metahuman race and metahuman variant is acceptable.

2) Characters must be built using 120 points. If you write me a detailed background story, you can have an additional 15 points.

3) Max availability is 10. If you have something in mind that you really need, which is over the set limit, argue your point. If you can convince me that it's a valid one, I'll let you keep it.

4) The set limit for nuyen is $1,000,000 and the limit for spell points is 50 total. You can buy them for $30k each.

5) Max amount of flaws/edges is five each. They don't have to balance out, but they do need to be explained.

6) No abusing the rules with NSRCG! That means no muscle augmentation cyberware coupled with muscle replacement bioware; I WILL be looking for these things. Only Street and Alpha grade and no cultured Bio.

7) Any archetype will be accepted. I'm open to anything from razorguys, to street shamans, to rockers, Deckers, and riggers. I will do my best to get all of you working for your money.

If I left anything out,

Oh yea I am back at it for only 90 days so lets get the show on the road. It also means that I might be on posting like crazy just out of shear excitement.

If I left anything out, screw it. Feel lucky. I'm a pretty lenient GM, I think. The one thing that matters most to me is a detailed character. Anything you need to make the character work that's against my guidelines... We'll discuss.

Info can also be sent to my Email address : MMSlayer@cox.net
Thank you and enjoy the game.

Questions:

1) Does a character for this game have to be a new character?

2) Do you allow custom gear?

3) Did I read correctly that you only have 90 days in real time to run a game?

[MMSlayer]

Leowulf
1) The character does not have to be a new one
2) I must see and approve any custom gear before you can introduce it. (feel free to send info. regarding your gear)
3)Yes this game will start and end in 90 days real time. (Must end by 01 Mar 2004)

Character away!!!!

[TinkerGnome]

Interesting... getting my mind around the raised availability might take a few minutes, at least. Look for something from me in a day or three, if there are spots remaining (and if previous experience is any indication, most people are slower than that).

[The Frumious Ban...]

Ditto to TinkerGnome's comments.

[Grey]

I'm in! I've been toying with a character idea for the last two days, this'll give me a chance to use it :)

[Grey]

Can you give us a little idea of what to expect from the run?

[TinkerGnome]

Here's a good question, when you say you're taking the first characters, do you mean the first completed characters in your hands, the first characters at BG stage or better, or the first people to post "I wannit" messages?

[TinkerGnome]

What's the line on bioware?

I'm working on a shamanic conjurer/face right now. We'll see how it turns out.

[Shadow]

If there are a bunch of people who want to play mages then I can allways submit something else. I have about ten characters ready to play at any given moment. So I have tons of options.

Sometimes I sit around all day and make characters :( Kind of sad if you think about it.

Shadow, TinkerGnome, The Frumious Bandersnatch, Grey

Welcome to what could be the beginning of potentially the rest of your life, or potentially the end of your lives.

Grey
To answer your question about what to expect from the run, expect the unexpected.

[At a glance]
"Make the characters you want to play and then balance out the party with contacts to get the job done. If the wrong people sit at the table, contacts can and will be used to hire NPC or PC for accomplishment of the run."

TinkerGnome
Characters qualify as stats and background in my E-Mail. (15 point bonus of detailed Background can follow in 48 to 72 hours.)

GOAL
Launch 00:00:00 10 November 2003 (GMT)
OOC: The Last 90 Days
IC: The Last 90 Days

NEED to tell you guys that the the time frame is January 2055.

Some books and technologies will not and can not apply. Sorry for mistake.

:(

[Dark Scrier]

You still looking for players?

[Shadow]

Anything from MiTS not apply that you can think of?

[The Frumious Ban...]

Just as a side note, I'm working on an Irish Fomori Conjurer just to try something a little different for me. :)

[MMSlayer]

Dark Scrier

Shadow

I'm gunna do Otaku. Its a concept I've always liked but never played out. I've got the sheet part done, just fleshing out the last of his background.

[Kurukami]

If no one else minds, I had thought to bring in Lady Cheng, an orkish rigger/decker who I made for a campaign that only lasted a few weeks. Let me see if I can dig up all her details. I did, as I recall, have some fairly decent reasons (as I see them, at least) for her to have certain pieces of cultured bioware -- and I've got about four pages of background story to boot.

I do have a couple of questions, though. Since the year is 2055, do we have access to all of the tech available in the basic SR3 book? Presumably, we also have access to only some of the tech in sourcebooks -- namely, that in the Street Samurai Catalog, Shadowtech, Fields of Fire, and the like (are there others?). Are we effectively using the vehicle rules as presented in Rigger 3? And likewise, the decking rules from Matrix?

[Dark Scrier]

Ahh, crap. The character I was going to use was Birdseye, my Orkish Decker/Rigger I used for about twenty minutes in The Three Sisters.

[TinkerGnome]

It's all fair game. Whoever gets the characters in first gets the concepts, after all. The character I'm doing is mostly face with a little mage attached (since being a conjurer is very, very cheap when you sell off your spell points for more BP).
