Hard Rain, New game. Options

[last_of_the_grea...]

Okay, folks, I got an idea for a game I think would be fun. The idea is a group of characters have just finished a run...they think they were successfull, but little do they know that it's all about to hit the fan. Somebody is out to get them. but who? Where can they hide? Can they take down this bad boy?

The ONLY character generation system available will be Sum to 10. To balance out the sudden extra coolness and power of human characters, their extra karma will increase every 16th point instead of every 11th. Still faster than metahumans, but not obscenely so.

The ONLY book available at character generation will be the Shadowrun Third Edition book. Others will have their resources available after play starts...for instance, in the unlikely event someone gets enough karma to initiate...not impossible, but I won't count on it.

Starting equipment must have availability 6 or less, with the exception of Cyberwear, which may have an availability of 8 or less. This is partly for showing stuff that will have to be left behind, was used up, sacrificed, etc. It's also to keep things a little more managable for me and a little more challenging for you guys.

I would like there to be 4 or 5 players in the team and the characters should all know each other. Feel free to share character info with each other.

I would like 1 character to be a full mage. There can be 1 other magical character of any type, for a total of 2. The rest should be mundanes.

Now the good stuff. Everyone will have earned 21 karma (I take away, but I give in return). That means you have 20 to spend after you've made your character and you have a starting karma pool of 2. If you guys want to start a team karma pool, that would be appropriate and cool with me. Just let me know before we start it all up.

Also, I will allow this one exception to the Shadowrun Third Edition Only rule: Everyone gets 2 points of edges for free! That's right, folks, absolutely free! Merry Christmas, Happy Hunnakah (SP?), Happy Quanza, or fill in the seasonal holiday of your choice.

Just so you know, I work overnight shifts on Teusdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On those days I'll do only one or two posts, but feel free do post roleplaying stuff when I am absent.

Characters can be emailed to me at dr_pure_evil@yahoo.com. If you have Yahoo Messenger, I am always invisible, but I go as last_of_the_great_mikeys (of course). I'll pick the best 5 (or four if I only get four). Feel free to send in both a magical and a mundane so that if ya still wanna play after I pick the magician(s) I have more to choose from.

Questions?
