*Crickets chirping*
Hello? Is this the party? Where the hell is everyone?

[ludomastro]

Hello there SinN, I have no idea where everyone is. If interest in this has wanned (or not), please let me know. I will give this until Monday and then I will start opening this up to the general populace.

[SinN]

Alright, well Im still in. My char sheet is good to go. So Ill just check in and post when the game is started.

[Meriss]

Sorry, still here. My PC had a virus and I was just a little leery of going online while it was still alive. Got a very heavy duty AV program annnnd it's dead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) so I'm just polishing off my charsheet and will be ready whenever everyone else is. Anyone heard from Plan B or Ophis?

@Alex: Quickly, what are the major ethnic groups in Tuscaloosa?

[ludomastro]

I sent a PM to Ophis and PlanB.

-----

I'll assume that by ethnic you mean meta-type.

Human 62%
Elf 4%
Dwarf 6%
Ork 23%
Troll 5%

If you meant ethnicity as we think of it today, then:

Caucasian 54%
African 42%
Asian/Pacific Islander 2%
Other 2%

[Meriss]

Hmmm that works too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I actually meant cultural/language type. Guess I should've asked what I meant eh?

[ludomastro]

CAS culture - if you have any of the SR2 & 3 books.

Language will be English (with the cityspeak/slang component).

Some of the minority cultural elements will be pulled from Hispanic and Asian (specifically Chinese) culture as well.

Therefore there is a sprinkling of Spanish and Chinese as well as the obligatory Japanese for 80s cyberpunk.

[Meriss]

FINALLY! All done and basically ready fer review. Only thing left is to figure out the rest of my Gear spending and name/define my contacts. Backstory ASAP.

Ok, let's take a look at the sheet:

[ Spoiler ]

Attributes = 210BP. Your math is off but you over charged yourself for attributes too, so ...

Qualities. Ok, but lactose seems more like an uncommon substance to me.
Net = +5 BP

Skills = 108

Knowledge Skills = [28-21(free)]*2 = 14

Language = [2+3]*2 + 2 (Cityspeak, specialization of English) = 12

Resources = 3

Magic: Power Points = Magic = 4
Points used = 3.5

Contacts = Let's look at this again

CP = C x L

Name: C/L = CP
Black Marketeer: Uncle Phil: 3/5 = 15CP
Blogger: 2/2 = 4CP
Crooked Beat Cop: 2/2 = 4CP
Fixer: 3/2 = 6CP
Bartender: 2/2 = 4CP
Bouncer: 2/4 = 8CP
Street Doc: 3/2 = 6CP

47 CP = 15 2/3 BP. I'll round to 16 BP for easy math.

Total = 358 BP. A little trimming is needed.

[Meriss]

Attributes: I did? Fer the love of .......... Where?

Qualities: Allergy, Lactose aka milk and milk products, aka Lactose intolerance

Skills: noted
Knowledge and Languagae Skills: So you mean I spent BP on them?

Adept powers: I lose 1 PP fer my cyber do I not?

Contacts: ahh I was adding not mulitiplying

And I added 3 months squatter lifestyle

Also how much would I pay fer a nanotat of a neon green great dragon in flight with three modes, Static just sitting there doing nothing, Active the wings move and the mouth opens every 3 seconds and spits fire , Off, the whole mess becomes a near approximation of my skin tone.

Working on it!

[ludomastro]

Alright folks, Ophis, has officially dropped out. I will be extended an invitation to Trigger to participate. I still haven't heard back from Plan B.

[ludomastro]

@ Meriss

[ Spoiler ]

Qualities: Allergy, Lactose aka milk and milk products, aka Lactose intolerance

>>Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I can't see lactose as being common in the Sixth world, disutopian that thing that it is. Given that lactose is real food.

Skills: noted
Knowledge and Languagae Skills: So you mean I spent BP on them?

>>A few.

Adept powers: I lose 1 PP fer my cyber do I not?

>>Ahh, yes. *hangs head*
>>However, that means you overspent by 0.5 PP.

Also how much would I pay fer a nanotat of a neon green great dragon in flight with three modes, Static just sitting there doing nothing, Active the wings move and the mouth opens every 3 seconds and spits fire , Off, the whole mess becomes a near approximation of my skin tone.

>>I would say that requires a Rating 3 nanotat; therefore, 750 nuyen.

Working on it!

> *headdesk* Sigh it's that stupid trying to project my head into the SR world I swear. Fergot about the unlikeliness of real food in my income bracket. Hell Steve might not even know he has the allergy.

>>A few.

>>Ahh, yes. *hangs head*
>>However, that means you overspent by 0.5 PP.

>Working.

Crud over by 50 nu. *headdesk*
EDIT: er not. My math skill must 1

[Meriss]

M'kay here it is again. Deleted the Money work up as I'm fairly sure I had that correct.

Major Changes

[ Spoiler ]

I dropped Blades from 3 to 2, Intimidation from 2 to 1 and changed the Allergy, (now Uncommon , Mild) and Dropped 1 level of Cool Resolve. Added a set of Rating 1 Cyberears (Basically fer the sound recorder and soundlink) and 1 spare clip (which is the only thing I could think of fer 5 nu that was reasonably useful)

Backstory for Steve and Contacts to follow (aka as soon as I finish typing it)

[ludomastro]

Meriss just sent me a PM to say that he dropped out.

I know that RL has everyone in a pinch. Just let me know if I should pull the plug or call in the doctor for this one.

[SinN]

Im still in. I wouldnt mind a solo game. Even if we pull the plug on this one, i got a few more charactors on the back burner. Lemmo know, all mighty GM

[ludomastro]

I'm hardly all-mighty, but thanks for the sentiment.

What kind of solo game would you be interested in?

[SinN]

Well, as i said before, Id like to use my Hacker/Rigger/Face, Ash. He has alot of stats, not god like or anything, just able to hold his own. But not much backround to him. Ive only used him on a few runs, and he only has one real big acomplishment is his shadowrunning career. He helped kill Dr. Halbertson. You know, that guy who was putting kids brains in computers? Yeah. really hard fucking run, that Plan B ran for Ben and I a while back. Hes mostly been in hiding since then, just laying low until things blow over. Ive got a few other chars i havent had much time to use in the past. New charactors and the such. Lemme know if u can think of anything.

[Redjack]

Wow Alex. You just keep getting your games knocked down in players. That said, quite a number of games have seen reductions recently.

[ludomastro]

@ Redjack
Yes, I wonder why? You interested?

@SinN
Where was Ash's last known location?

[crizh]

That said, quite a number of games have seen reductions recently.

Mostly a sudden, and unexpected, drop in the GM count....

[Redjack]

Actually there are several of us who are dedicated players that lost yet another GM in the African Queen game. If SINn is looking for a game with more consistent players, I think that might be possible.

[SinN]

I may be interested. If you guys can work me in, sure. Just let me know what kind of charactor U need.

@Alex
Ash was hiding out in Scotland for some time, and is now in Seattle, just now taking jobs again. Its been almost 2 years.

[ludomastro]

I'm a little confused. Are we working this game or expanding the existing Atlanta game? Or something else?
