Do you have a game time in mind? I’d imagine that time zone issues will make getting folks online at the same time somewhat problematic, but I’m perfectly willing to give it a whirl, unless it’s totally incompatible with my schedule.

Weekends are going to be the best with people from different time zones. Friday and Saturday nights are best for me, or during the day on Sundays.
Of the days you put up I'd vote for Saturday Night. Brent what is the Karma for Cash exchange rate? I think 5,000/Karma is about standard. |

Hmmm well I'd be interested in trying it out, but I only have limited free nights and am in GMT (and have to be up stupidly early in mornings for work) so might not be able to play except for Friday nights (my time) or on Saturdays.
As for shopping can Ochir sort out someone who'll be able to fit her with cyberware? She's after the following Rating 2 Cybereyes with Smartlink, Vision Magnification, Flare Compensation and Thermographic Vision. (All from the BBB at a total cost of 4500) Plus she's after a Cyber Safety System in each hand (700 Nuyen from Augmentation) along with security chips for three weapons (at 200 nuyen). She'll also contact her Arms Dealer contact and ask him to obtain the following. FN P93 Praetor with optional inbuilt low light flash-light and electronic firing mode + Sling Accessory. Upgrades = Gas Vent 3, Powered folding stock, Endoscope and Internal Smart Link. (With the final slot taken up by a cyber safety chip) Spare Clip x 9 Normal Ammunition 1170 rounds APDS 200 rounds Costing 6200 She'll also be asking him to fit the two additional chips into her pistols... not sure how much it'll cost but will assume 140 Nuyen to make the bill a nice round number. Total cost for all that is 12000 nuyen. Plus or minus availability modifiers and suchlike needed to get the work done in time. Edit - Plus of course the extra 4000 nuyen for lifestyle expenses during the downtown. @Everyone with matrix skill. Can anyone pick up cheap active softs? Because Move By Wire comes with inbuilt skillwires, so I might as well get the most from them. I'll work out a list of the skills she'd want, but it'll probably clock in around 8 different ones. Each with the upgrade which makes them take up as little space as possible. (If anyone wants to go halves on them then by all means. After all I suspect they'll be cracked copies for the price range I'm after. Should be around 15000 for the lot I think?) |

Well, I'm flexable I can even run the game here at work on the weekend so I think we can a few of use together. As far as other stuff yes Ochir can get that stuff and has a good shadow cyberdoc he can hook you up with. With the cyber stuff add 15% to total cost for the fees and you arm dealer can get that stuff too add 5% for fees. Brent |

Cool. Have updated my copy of the character sheet, will you be wanting info sending over to keep you updated on stuff?
Or should we update the copies on the thread they were posted in? (And in follow up to the skillsoft question I have 26000 left to spend. So hopefully there should be enough to cover the bill with perhaps a little left over for a nice racing bike or something) |

No, I don't need it for the most part the thread is a record of what you have updated. When we get going I'll have people do up a character sheet node from openrpg. which will be a xml sheet.

Brent, I spent my karma on joining the Singing Moon Coven. As part of the group's strictures members have to help each other. So that should include free instruction, even free access to spell formulae given that I'm going to be working for free in the shop that sells the formulae. I still bought the Orgy formula at list cost, but I figured I'd bring it up.

I have loads of free time but it is either inconsistent or at inconvenient times. Weekends are out, I work 6PM to 6AM Fridays and Saturdays and play PnP on Sundays.
I have 5PM till 10PM almost every single weekday free but I'm on GMT. Which is why I'm playing on Dumpshock and not OpenRPG. I'm really enjoying this game partly because we have so many folks from different time-zones. There is always somebody posting. |

I can understand that, but my wife is ready to kill me with the time I'm spending on the play by post. With openrpg I can schedule and set a side the time to play.

Aye, a' can understand that. What are you on? EST? I'm sure a couple of us are in Germany so they must be GMT+3.
Maybe we can work out something where some of us are playing late night and some early morning? |

Hmmm, shopping, my favourite part of this game...
First off, 30k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) pays off most of his debts. Next 3250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) will cover lifestyle for a month. Which leaves.... 15924 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) I'd like to pick up some Response 3 Nexuses which cost 1500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) and have an availability of 12. Can Ochir get those? I'll get Jake to buy me some more cracked software, I'll edit this post with that and any other stuff I think of. |

Okay, so skillsoft wise Etoile is after the following. Each one at rating 4 with pluscode at rating 3.
Etiquette, Negotiation, Intimidation, Con, Demolitions, Pilot Ground Vehicle, Heavy Weapons and First Aid. If any of our matrix characters can obtain such things she'd be very grateful. Especially if they also find her patches now and again. Think cracked versions cost 10% of total price? In which case they each clock in at 1500, for a total of 12000 nuyen. Which Etoile can provide (and she'll send anyone else in the team who is interested copies too). |

So, buying successes the highest availability (16) should be reached in 32 days (implanted commlink upgrade to 6). I am not sure I'll be able to make the openrpg games though - I am from Switzerland, and my schedule is rather full already.
