Alright guys, this is the plan. I will be trying to put together an ongoing gang campaign. I will keep it going as long as there is interest and the real world does not prevent me from doing so. As people decide to leave, I'll kill them or turn them into NPCs, or what have you. As new people decide to join (I will occationally make calls for new characters) I'll work them in. I want to create a living, breathing gang. It'll be based in Woodinville, in Redmond, near Cottage Lake and the Plastic Jungles. This area of Woodinville has a bit of a bias against elves and gives the most respect to trogs and orks, but that doesn't preclude anyone from anything. Characters will be subjected to the following restrictions: No resources above :nuyen: 90 000 No technical skills above 3. Avalibility will be limited 5. There will be exceptions, but explain why and ask nicely. Everyone should sink some money into the gang. Whoever sinks the most will be leader to start, but that can be challenged. Anyone who gets leader status will be given 10 Karma. Anyone pushed out of the position will not lose the Karma, but will have bad things happen to them to make the karma seem trivial. So, gimme every misfit and wanna-be tough guy. Just remember to keep it street level, and I'll take it. Here's hoping the idea takes off. |

This sounds like a cool idea LM, I'll think hard on a character and give it a whirl. What is the starting BP for the characters?

Mind if I pop in? Thinking of a mighty nice Troll Brawler who might do good as muscle. If so, BP/systems allowed would be fantastic. After that I'll be right on making the character.

Let's limit it to third edition. Other than that, use your judgement. I'm probably going to reject shapeshifters, free spirits, drakes, etc., out of hand.
Also, remember to contribute money to the gang. If you're not sure how much, read the Gang Campaign section of SR3Comp to give you a roung idea. |

Just to be clear, my dikoted free spirit/drake/gnome shaman is not going to be acceptable as a ganger?
;) [edit] Thinking on it, actually, I might be game. I'm working up something in my head. The gnome shaman with a short man complex is starting to sound fun, to tell you the truth ;) [/edit] |

How about these? http://bull.dumpshock.com/sr/vampchar.html
I've got a char that would just need a tad bit of tweaking to make the Avail rules, but aside from that he'd be "street". Likely not, but hey, I'd kinda want to play him :) Grim Shear "Stupid Sun... Why can't I just live me dream and make it go away?" |

Shadow, ghost is in. For everyone else's reference he's a trog with a bit of a samurai complex.
Mikey: The backround looked a bit more like a mafia footsoldier than a ganger, and whatever format that character is in, I definatly wasn't willing to wade through it to make sense of it. I know you are a capable player, and I want you in, but could we try a different character, and a different format? For reference, the amount into the pot to beat is 44k :nuyen: Keep 'em coming, guys. And when I said third edition, I didn't mean just core. I meant anything in third edition, with exceptions. (Genetech and drakes come to mind immediatly). |

Just to clarify, Samurai as in Bushido, not as in Street Sam.

Well, not topping the cash input... but providing a doss for the gang to headquarter out of... an owned (55k) warehouse converted to a tenament... no security, hellish conditions, but heck, it's a gang, eh?

There are currently no riggers or psuedo-riggers. So go for it. I was just going to make a headquarters out of the money contributed, but this works too. I may, depending on how nice I'm feeling later this afternoon, count some of the value of the warehouse towards how much you put in for consideration of more memebers and who's got the leadership position. Grim, if you've got something, send it. I know you've got the experience I like to have in a player. Just... keep it street. And no vampires. Or free spirits. You get the idea. |

Er, could you change his bike to a Harley Davidson Diablo? Its in Rigger 3. Uses the same stats as the BMW Blitzen, and for only 12K more. Also change his repair specialization to H-D Diablo, rather than Scorpion.

The char I had ready was the one from... The "Virus" run. Beefy_Marinelife,, Glyph, and Fortune were in it too. It didn't last too long... RL conflicts for GM if I remember correctly... something about moving or some such.
It was a gang campaign, without the "money for gang" bit. Hell... I think I only had 90,000 in resources total. We didn't even get the vamp powers, just the drawbacks (which is something I whole-heartedly disagreed with, seeing as we paid 35 points for those...). With some juggling (no dikoted Cougar longblades in this game:) ), he'd have fit right in. But as is... I don't really have anything "street" handy, so I'll bow out.
