Hey all!
I have decided to try this on-line game thing. I am looking for 4 players minimum. I have 2 slots reserved at the moment. One for Blitz and Fenris. I will probably cap at 6 tops, assuming I get some compelling submissions. So here's the breakdown. Build characters with 125 BPs please. I allow a maximum of 5 edges and 5 flaws with a net difference of 5 points max. I have the same needs you have probably read a million times. Backgrounds with well thought out concepts, don't cripple your character with excessive flaws, build characters that have some reason to work in a co-operative manner, and be mature. After you have built your character you get 100 karma to improve them. I want veterans of the shadow world. You will also receive an addtional 500,000 nuyen to spend after the character has been finalized. This extra gear is subject to street index and ratings. Don't get too out there with gear please (4 cases of APDS, etc), I want to keep a gritty feel to the game. I am open to anything cannon to the SR world (changelings, ghouls, meta-variants, etc). I will need a copy of your characters for reference, send them to the email attached to my id here. I will need to know when you would be posting. I want to set a schedule everyday to move the game forward. It seems on-line games move so slowly and people lose interest as they drag on. I want to try to avoid that by having a daily GM nudge to the timeline/events. The game will be very magic and metahuman focused. So if you are playing a mundane character, make sure you have some background in magic-related skills. You will be hired as part of a team to deal with a upcoming threat to the city of Seattle. You do not need to do-gooders for this run but it wouldn't hurt. I plan to send out regular files to you all with maps, extra info, etc. I have no life right now so feast on my boredom. I am certain there will be questions about things I have forgotten to mention so let them fly. |
