OOC: Phoenix Rising, Out of Character thread for the runners Options

[DWC]

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).

Finding each one will be an Extended Data Search+Browse (14, 1 Turn), which should take like 15 seconds, buying hits. Truth certainly won't begrudge two minutes out of his life, especially given that the work he's doing over the next few weeks won't take more than a few hours in each case, and I doubt either of the other matrix types would either.

In which case unless Brent minds I'll be buying them for 12k and sharing copies with anyone who wants.

[bmcoomes]

I'm fine with that.

In which case I'll convert 10000 into 2 Karma, pick up some low light goggles for 150 and keep the left over nuyen for a rainy day and use the Karma on gun skills, the spending of which I'll update on her main sheet.

[Shalimar]

Brent, can I get the following?

Glasses
– Availability 22 – Cost 1,900
(Low Light, Flare Compensation, Image Link, Thermographic, Smart link, Vision Enhancement 3, Vision Magnification, Camera)

Earbuds
– Availability 16 – Cost 1,010 (Audio Enhancement 3, Selective Sound Filter 3, Spatial Recognized)

[bmcoomes]

yup, add 5% for his fee.

Brent

[Shalimar]

Brent

Done.

[DWC]

Just noticed that I'd forgotten to specify my availability. Sunday afternoons. That's pretty much it. Weeknights are way too unpredictable given my propensity to be in the office until 9 or 10pm, and my Saturdays are spoken for.

[bmcoomes]

How many would be able to get online for Sunday 19th, 1600 zulu (0900 PST)?

Brent

[Shalimar]

9 PM in Washington is 12 midnight on the east coast, and I have classes Monday. If we could do it Friday or Saturday night when most people don't need to be up early the next morning it would probably be better.

[bmcoomes]

no 0900 in the morining, that would be 2100 in my time. I still run on military time.

Brent

[Shalimar]

That would be noon EST, so definitely doable.

[Little Johnson]

To help with this I'm going to start using Zulu time or universial time (UTC). here is a link to the US Navy Observatory. On there header they run Zulu so we can cordinate better. http://www.usno.navy.mil/

Brent

[DWC]

That time works great for me.

[bmcoomes]

Ok, I'm going to make this the running list.

ME (Brent)
Shalimar (Charlie)
Little Johnson (Tom)
DWC (Truth)
Deadman (Noowan)

[bmcoomes]

For thous of you who need it here is a link with the OpenRPG stuff.

http://openrpg.wrathof.com/faq/Installation

it's walk you through installation of everything you need. From there I'll send you a node of a character sheet.

Brent

[crizh]

That time slot is almost do-able but not this week.

I'll be driving up North for an annual fireworks thing we do.

Next week is possible, let me go and butter up the wife....

[bmcoomes]

sure thing Crizh. I truly understand, I'll operation as though your there in spirit so you'll be open for next week.

Brent

Hmm the time works for me too, but I won't be online tomorrow because I have friends visiting.

Although I should mention now I have no microphone so if the intention is to have people play via anything other than typed chat I won't be able to play.

[bmcoomes]

right now I think we will be just using the normal chat.

[Shalimar]

same boat here, typing only.

Brent can you explain how we get to the chat room we will use? I have OpenRPG installed, but have never used it.

[bmcoomes]

Sure once you have it launched hit the Game Server menu and hit browse Servers (or clt+B)

From there chose a server I normaly use OpenRPG Veav I, once there I'll make a room for the game.

Whats your username?

[Oenone]

In which case I should be able to play then. Aside from first session and maybe the odd few ones when people are over that is.

(Will logs of the game be made and posted up anywhere? So people not able to attend a session can catch up on what happened? Or will we need to start off with recaps? Maybe in just simple forum posts here or maybe something like an email list.)
