[Ophis]

Okay I recruiting for a SR4 game. As implied by the sub title I'm planning on going for heavy Characterisation, tone should is towards horror (I hope), with a solid dash of mystery, violence and general weird shit.

I am looking for 4-5 players. 3-4 of you will be making Shadowrunners, and will have some points (450) and some karma (100) to build you characters some wiggle room is available on these if characters require it. You're Prime Runners with some international work under your belt. This will not be your first job together, but that doesn't mean you have to have worked together a lot. We'll co-ordinate here to sort out that side of things.

The other player I have other plans for so I'll need one brave volunteer to be screwed royally by the plotline, sorry I mean to have a central role in the plot. The only stipulation I place on this person is that he/she is a mage. We'll discuss details in private about that... I need someone reliable for this part as he's the crux of the idea.

The game will start off in Boston in 2070, a town still trying to heal the scars left by the Crash of 2064.

Notes for creation are listed below in the spoiler. This will be an Adult themed game, however I would prefer a team of characters who can be seen as tarnished heroes though I'm not asking for outright paladin types.

Char gen rules

As per SR4 main rulebook and latest FAQ and Errata except as mentioned below


Wired reflexes cost changed 15000:nuyen: per level and 1.5 essence per level
Adept Imp reflexes cost 1.5 per level
3*Cha points of contact for free.
Availability limited to 12 as per normal, but ask if something is appropriate to background.
Technomancers buy complex forms at 3 points with rating equal to Resonance. Max still Res*2
Non standard Qualities are available just ask me about ideas.


Karma House Rules

Skill Groups new level*4
Skills new level *1.5
Knowledge Skills new level*1
New Complex Forms 5 karma
All attributes are increased as if your racial bonuses weren't added on
Initiation works a bit like having a plus 1 racial bonus to magic

Pre game each karma point comes with 1000¥ to spend.
Cash can be exchanged for Karma at 2500¥ per point.

Streetcred does not accrue at 1/10 karma, the first point is at 10, the second at 30, the third at 60 and the fourth at 100. I hope the progression is easy to see.

I'm looking at kicking off as the new year rolls in so consider Christmas something of a deadline for starting submissions.
