New SR4 Game Recruitment, Its late and I'm drunk! Options

[Fresno Bob]

Okay, I feel like starting a game, for some reason.

Anyway, I have no coherent plan, just feel like throwing some runners into the fan. So, anyway heres some rules I like to use.

Need to Know
400 BP
Core book only (Are there even other books out?)
Technomancers probably won't have much use.
Game set in Seattle
Backgrounds are nice, however you want to do it, 20 questions, 50 questions, freeform, whathaveyou. If you leave a bunch of hooks, they'll probably get used, in some capacity. Enemies and the like would also get a bit of use.

So when I look at this tomorrow when I'm sober, if I still think its a good idea, and if theres any player interest, I'll go ahead and start thinking of something to do.

[Tekumel]

I'm guessing this would be a message board game?

[Thanee]

[tisoz]

I'd be interested in playing a shaman.

[DireRadiant]

Street Magic is out and ready to be exploited!

All awakened group! Let's the spirits be unleashed, the ground will shake, and it will rain fire!

So can I play a shaman too?

[spudrocks]

I would like to play a gun slinging physical adept

[Vegas]

I'd probably be willing to toss something together for ya ;)

[Fresno Bob]

Ok, I'm sober, I have work in a bit, and I still consider this a good idea.

I even thought of a first run last night.

Make whatever characters you want, send them to saphiyago at gmail dot com.

[Guest_MK Ultra_*]

Argh, so many tempting recruiting threats, so little tiem :-/

[God45]

I'm going to try an idea that I've not had the chance to use, but always wanted to - A Street Racer who runs to earn enough Nuyen to keep his ride cutting edge.

Voorhees, once I'm done I'll send you the details to your e-mail address.

[Tekumel]

Is this going to be a message board game, or some other medium? I know, stupid question given the forum it was posted in. But it's worth a shot.

[tisoz]

I'm assuming a message board game here or we would need to know what times everyone needed to be together and where.

[DireRadiant]

[Tekumel]

Hence the stupid question but it's worth a shot comment. :P

[Cedric Rolfsson]

How about a Malaysian ex-terrorist cell member who decided to move from Jakarta for . . . er. . . .'health' reasons and is taking up shadow running?

Full hermetic mage; human--- Street Name: Jaya (until I find something better).

[Fresno Bob]

Oh, a few things.

Yes, its a forum game. However, schedules permitting, some parts can be played in IRC or something.

I'd prefer that I get characters sent in to me in one of the following formats(In order of preference): .txt, .doc, and .rtf, adhering to a template I will put here in the following

The game will start on Friday, January 10th, 2070... in game time. Not like... thats when the thread will go up.

[Tekumel]

Hrm. Not 100% sure how the whole message board thing works (somebody with oodles & oodles of experience should FAQ that & sticky it!), but I'd be willing to give it a shot since there seems to be a dry spell of non-forum games.

I'm currently working on a background for an ex-military Combat Hacker that goes by the name of Tekumel. Once I finish the background I'll hack out a character sheet...should be some time this week. The background's kind of slow, I've been going pretty in depth with it. Looking at 5-6 pages at the rate it's going, but with more hooks than a fishing tackle shop.

[Thanee]

Just check out some games that are running here... should give some good overview how it is done. :)

Sent my character sheet your way via e-mail, Voorhees.

Bye
Thanee

[Tekumel]

I get the basic premise, it's the little things that I question.

Like how do you keep a discussion between PCs from taking a week real-time while you wait for responses from the other? :P

[Fresno Bob]

[Fresno Bob]

I edited the template. Adjust your sheets accordingly.

[DireRadiant]

Is the E Edge or Essence?

[Lagomorph]

I'll send email soon (2 days time, waiting to get internet up at home) with a character also, probably a street sam/merc just to play something no ones mentioned yet

[Fresno Bob]

[G.NOME]

For the time being, I'm submitting a standardish "gun bunny"-type character for consideration. He's an ex-Special Forces dude with some heavy weapons and medic skills, but he's pretty unexceptional when it comes to close combat.

If there's too much "role overlap" between my character and Lagomorph's, then maybe we could modify him a little....
