Welcome to the Shadows OOC thread for Greenhorns In Seattle. This is the thread for rules questions, requests, master character sheets, and any other out of character discussions. I prefer to have dice rolls in the In Character thread just wrapped in *spoiler* tags. It helps me keep track of which roll goes with which post. Any time you spend any Karma, or add any new gear to your character please update your master character sheet here. If something isn't listed on your character sheet in this thread then you don't officially have it. Don't worry about updating the sheet every time you take damage or anything like that though. Just keep track of that on a scratch pad or better yet a hardcopy of your character sheet that you keep printed out. I'll be doing the same just to make sure everyone says on the same page.

Again the players in this game are:
Dusty Ghost
JoelHalpern
Seraph Kast
Mickle5125
Nigel

Posting Rules

Just like almost everyone else on the board I'm gonna be stealing Redjack's posting structure, so here you go.

All your posts should begin with a time/date stamp in orange, detailing location, time, and date. Underneath, in italics, add your PAN mode, hidden, active, or passive, in dark grey.

- - "Speech color=cyan, optionally enclosed in quotes"
- - <Coms (subvocal) color=violet>
- - <Coms (Text) color=yellow>
- - Thoughts color=darkkhaki and in italics
- - Memories, flashbacks, dreams color=green and in italics

Spoiler all private actions, but if its something really private, or you're setting up a backstab, feel free to PM me.

If you have any questions about the use of BBcode please ask them here.

Feel free to pose unimportant NPCs, waitresses, store clerks, et cetera. For plot-important NPCs (Contacts, Prime Runners, and so on), don't assume their reactions or post them. Pretend they're PCs interaction-wise.

We’ll be rolling dice using http://invisiblecastle.com/. Like I said in the recruiting thread just add all your positive modifiers together and subtract any uncompensated recoil and wound modifiers. I will keep track of other negative modifiers for you. I’ll do this by subtracting dice from right to left. Once the group is a bit more familiar with calculating things as they come up I'll hand that responsibility over to you.

Just for reference I decided that our first run will be a conversion of an early 2nd edition adventure called "Dark Angel". It was published in the early 90's so some of the pop culture references are a little dated but it's IMO a good introductory adventure with a nice balance of legwork, shooting people in the face, mystery, and a hefty dose of 6th world culture.

I now open the floor to discussion.

Cheers:
Dave (imperialus)
