The game Wiki

Posting rules:

Datelines are cyan or blue if you don't want to fix the tag manually.
Location headings are orange.
PC and NPC names are bold.

All posts must have a location heading. Posts which are occuring in real time from the last post to a location may omit the dateline. All posts should include the name of the posting PC as either the first word or on a seperate line just below the location tag.

No signatures in the IC thread. Uncheck the box. If you notice you've left one, just go back and edit it to uncheck the box. Note that when you edit a post, the board rechecks the box automatically which is how I leave 90% of mine IC ;)

Feel free to write dialogue for NPCs that you have created. Please post all such NPCs to the Wiki with RP notes so that others may use them. NPCs which are contacts purchased for your character do not have to be shared in this fashion.

All die rolls should appear in this format within a code block:

Can we use another color other than cyan since it isn't one of the defaults? Gets old having to type it in each time. :D

Thanks for the spreadsheet!

[Wounded Ronin]

I hate to be the doofus...but how do you specify cyan?

[Thanee]

[ color=cyan ]cyan[ /color ] (without the spaces near the brackets, of course)

Bye
Thanee

[HeySparky]

Pick any color (I usually use blue since it's a short word), and then when the tags show up {color=blue} erase blue and replace it with cyan.

Edit: Or what Thanee said.

Also, I'll point out that Auran and Shade are illegal. She can only have 1 point of Improved Ability (Con), because of the Errata. She should probably replace it with a point of kinesics. He has 3 attributes at 5 (unless it should be 3(5) from his wired reflexes, though it doesn't look like that from the point cost beneath it), and a skill at 5. Granted, he has Aptitude with the relevant skill, but wouldn't that just increase his maximum after chargen to 7?

[Rokur]

damn errata.... grr... well thanx for the update, I'll work on my fix.

[Dranem]

Umm... wondering where our dose is? We have a few people in the hideout, but I can't pose if I don't know what the general layout is... I know there was talk that we were going to camp in an old abandoned community center or YM/YWCA.

[Silo]

@Voorhees or TG

How do we "play" pool? I was thinking either an opposed Agility + Logic or Agility + Intuition test. Not sure which Mental attribute is the right one though. Pool is both knowing what to do (logic) and reacting to what is going on (Intuition).

And away we go! WOoo hooo!

[Guest_MK Ultra_*]

Yay!!!!!!!!!! :spin:

Question/suggeston about the Headings...

Would it be helpful to put in a Name as well?

Something like:

JJ @ The Fun Zo e

or it could be it's own line.

That way, we wouldn't have to start every post with our character's name. Normally, I'd just say that we'll all know each other's DS name and character name in short order, but there are 20 of us in this game and there will probably be more as we go along.

[TinkerGnome]

Agility + Logic sounds about right for pool. Someone can feel free to draw up the building layout if they want. Otherwise, I'll get to it sometime.

As far as Shade goes, the 5 skill is legal because of the aptitude (the 5th point cost 8 bp, though). I didn't know there was a cap on the number of attributes you could have at 5 (though you can only have one at racial max). The con thing may be an issue, I haven't checked the errata. Though do check my nerf of kinesics on the house rules page.

Also, altered the posting rules a little bit to allow you to date things in blue if you're lazy. Cyan is a lot more visible, but I'm not going to force the issue ;)

Also, let's start adding names to posts, either as the first word of the post or as a line above.

@GM

So, can I have an armored biker lether jacket with 4/4 (still weaker then the armored vest, which costs 600) for the price of lether + armored clothing (700)? :)

@ Dranem
Pleas take a look at TF´s Gear or Description. He allready has some very costly tatoos. The wing thing was actually supposed to be done by BW, after TF got impressed by her work on Halo. Still she could argue, he hasn´t got enough (or the right ones), or is severly in nead of some piercings (which he would never want to get).

[TinkerGnome]

[BlackHat]

Spose I should have asked if I can have a biker helmet with +0/+2 armor rating (like the rapid trasit helmet, as opposed to +1/+2 under the generic "helmet" entry... but I'd like it to look like a biker's helmet.)

Also, in your games, TG, does skinlink require physical contact with flesh? or could I use skinlink through my clothes (but pretty much in contact with me). I've seen threads dedicated to the fact that a person's bioelectric field extends a little bit from their body, but the RAW description seems to imply flesh-on-metal contact.

If allowed, I'll be wearing black gloves. Otherwise, I have to hold onto the bike with my bare hands.

JJ's starting :nuyen: :

JJ playing pool vs. Aziz:

[Fresno Bob]

Aziz's starting kaching.

[Guest_MK Ultra_*]

Ah, Silo, I was about to do just that, now..

TF´s starting :nuyen: :

[TinkerGnome]

I try not to overthink things. Skinlink works as long as it's close to your skin (1 cm or less).

[Silo]

[Fresno Bob]

All over it.

[Guest_MK Ultra_*]

I guess with pool-tests using Agility+Logic, TF has got another hobby :D

Aziz probably won´t hold the titel for long.. well maybe, he does, TF probably only plays for money 8)

[Silo]

Hehe...guess we need to update the House Rules page with "Pool". I'm gonna use Edge next time. :D
