UH, that may have come across more 'prickish' than I intended. Please dont take it as such and I will go along with what you deem appropriate.

Just as an FYI
QUOTE (SR4 FAQ @ shadowrunrpg.com)
In most circumstances, you will be using Computer/Hacking + program rating. In cases where a program would apply, but isn't available, the character must default.

QUOTE (SR4 Phb @ Page 54)
Characters who default use only the linked attribute in their dice pool. Additionally, they suffer a -1 dice pool modifier.

I must admit that since the attribute is never figured into the equation I alway thought it more appropriate if, when defaulting for a missing program, to use the skill as the default (with the -1dp) modifier... in any case, as stated before the final ruling of course resides with Shadow.

I didn't take it as prickish Carjack.

The rule specifically or finding a hidden node is,

QUOTE
Finding a wireless node in hidden mode (see p. 211), however, is more challenging. Even if you know what you’re looking for, you must still succeed in an Electronic Warfare + Scan (4) Test. If you’re just scanning for hidden nodes in general, or trying to pick the hidden nodes out from the non-hidden one,
make the same Extended Test noted above but with a much higher threshold: 15+.


One of my goals for running this game is a better understanding of the rules, so please point out things you think I am doing wrong! However that being said, it is still a extended test for finding a hidden node. If you don't have a scan program (or don't use one) you cannot detect Nodes in Hidden mode.

I have a scan 5 program and EW 5 so, if we take the last 2 from each string I get 30 after the 10 strings of rolls. I also chose the hacker role to learn/work out the kinks before I let anyone in my Table game play one...not that they normally would lol.

@Fist: I hear and obey! Gimme a sec.

@Shadow: Whats the setup on the street, I don't need a map just a general guide to where the bar is in relation to the cops. My mics are on the front and back bumpers of the BD, I need to know if I have to move the van.

Doc was second string, team 2, whatever right? Then he'd be inside the bar. Our heavies were to be waiting outside with Mandy's van, watching those KE guys.

Well Satchel went in with team #1, so that plan is kinda evergreen... ;)
I was thinking right now he'd be better where he can go full VR.

Honestly I'm still having a bit of trouble remembering who is what. New team, six men strong, I'm still forgetting which character is which type. I guess it's a good thing we;re figuring it out now instead of in combat.

Edit: Went through and removed my sig from the IC posts. Sorry Shadow, just forgot.

Yours and jiro are the ones I was having trouble remembering what you were good at. I coulnd't remember if you were a gunner with a hacking bent, or a hacker with a shooting bent.

Merriss, no, I assume they are omni directional so you are good to go.

@ Carjack and RJ
the hidden node is in the bathroom.

@Fist - Hey Fist it appears you are using italics for conversation... Just for consistency, italics were defined as thoughts and quoted text as conversation. Several of us had been quoting com speak with << com speak >>.

@Shadow: Couple of questions
1) Did Hiroki find any hidden nodes?
2) Just want to confirm with you that the Star has the law enforcement contract in Seattle so that means KE is really just private security..?

Ok the Carjack Redjack confusion got me there. I didn't realize your guys' name was so close to one another. So sorry for the confusion.

Yes, for now the Star has the contract. In Runner Havens they mention that the Star's contract is almost up and that there is a real chance whoever the new Gov. is coud give it to KE. For now though KE is just a private sec. company, however they have all the authority in their territory that real Police have.


I think Fist was using Italics to subvocalize, I could be wrong, but that is what is logical.

Sometimes my players will do things and I feel a responsibility to let them know that their actions are ill advised. Why? Cause you aren't all criminals in 2070, your people playing criminals.

Having said that,

Ok, I thought you had pointed me away from the Lawmen by saying hey...hidden mode in bathroom lol. So, I just went that direction with my posts. I'm actually on the hidden mode 'link, all i have done is looked for PAN's and 'hotkeyed' the KE lawmen's if it goes down and then I stumbled across the hidden one. That one I'm investigating.

@Shadow - does the location that Doc described for our hidden node match the location of the Whistler Satchel heard?

NP, I had a post ready but then wanted to make sure I didn't use outside player knowledge or give wrong information.

I just edited the post I had ready showing Satchel was going to say something, but stayed quite since it had been covered by someone else.
