since making orcalicum is an uninterruptible procees and it takes 28 days yes it is quite a drawback. I dont know of any GM's that allow for a months time to pass between runs from what ive seen most GM's allow something like 2 weeks between runs. In short if you make orcalicum at least in the games I play that character has to sit out 2 runs. |

Oh no! Not two whole runs! I'm sure most runners make in excess of half a million in profit with limited danger to themselves every two runs! O, misery, how well I know thy name... :D

Put a limit. If somebody breaks the limit, they get a few deleted. If they continue, they get their account deleted. As for the type of bio: Possibly just a biography stating what they're known for (Their really good skills). For example: Real name if it's known, race, approximate age/height/weight, hair and eye color, archtype, etc., as well as anything that sets them apart from other people (Captain Chaos: Fragging good decker and SysAdmin of Shadowland, for example). |

True it is an easy way to earn cash but mages dont have just a whole lot to spend :nuyen: on. My character is mostly a conjurer and aside from buying focui which are useless without the karma to bond them he really dosent have alot to spend the money on. if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate them becausemy character has well over half a mill. I was thinking of buying some better forms of home security but im already getting 2 great form force 6 elementals bound for a year and a day and some force 8 wards along with an underground vault (ne one seen panic room?). This seems like it would be quite enough to takedown any form of intruder to me. biofiber is out because it would hinder the spirits along with whatever that astrally active plant is. Im doing all this because Yakuza is hunting him. Does anyone have any security suggestions suggestions?

Seems to me you are defending yourself from the Yakuza, not hiding from them. You might want to invest in a better SIN/identity instead of blowing your cash on defenses. Heavy defenses mean your cover is blown. |

True but wheres the fun in hiding? ;) Knowing my GM he will have them find me eventually anyway reguardless of how well I hide and when they do im gonna love watching all of those gunbunnies figth those spirits along with the other 8 I can command. And if that fails their gonna really have a hard time of finding my secret underground panicroom which can only be opened from the inside (how do I open it you ask? simple send your ally spirit in to materalize on the inside and open it for you.) and as far as magical defenses go 3 or 4 force 8 wards would be more than enough to stall any mages they bring until backup arrives. |

I hope you can successfully stage each and every bit of drain from that, otherwise you're more than fragged...

Polaris had better spelling/capitalization/grammar.
Plus Joker isn't telling us that we're doing our groups a disservice by not doing likewise. ~J |

As far as I know the spirits wait on their home metaplane untill called so they dont all have to be summoned at once. And as far as I know calling one and commanding it dont use any drain at all either. And as far as wards go I thought they stayed around for weeks? Yes i can create those wards i am a grade 2 initiate. So yes my character can "successfully stage each and every bit of drain from that" |

I guess it's kind of superfluous for me to say that next to your member-account, you need to register individual shadowtalk accounts to your member-account, so that you have a whole stable of members to choose from? If so, then if you run into bugs, could you please send me a screenshot of the screen that's giving you issues so that I can solve the problem? Thanks.
Well, we can try. If it costs me more time to admin the site than I'm comfortable with, I'm going to revoke the functionality.
I'll give this some thought. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming. :) |

I think you should keep it strictly for your game. Posting comments is cool, but I don't think it's necessary for people to upload their characters to your site.

Why does everybody on the internet with less than perfect grammar/spelling claim to have several related disabilities and yet still insist that they are geniuses in their home town? |

So why is orichalcum so valuable, anyway? To the best of my knowledge, the only thing it's actually good for is Enchanting, and anyone who can Enchant can make it themselves. I can see that some enchanters might not want to spend months cranking the stuff out, but that wouldn't seem to justify the extreme price tag. If it were a few thousand nuyen, then, sure, that'd be a reasonable price to save a month's work, but several hundred thousand nuyen for something I could make myself in a month? I don't think so...

Sounds fair to me. Nobody should ever have to give up more free time than they want to.
1) It's rare. 2) It takes lots of time to get to the actual making of orichalcum, and then it takes another 28 days of Enchanting to make it. 3) Not everybody Enchants. Some people have better things to do. Like try to live on what they can earn in the shadows. |

Orichalcum is a mix of gold and silver and I-can't-remember-off-the-bat precious metal radicals. So I think just by their raw materials only, orichalcum is expensive.
Furthermore, you realise how damned powerful weapon foci are? Well, orichalcum is a Necessity for weapon foci. It is a must, no orichalcum no weapon foci. |

Orichalcum is made from radical gold, radical silver, radical copper and radical mercury.
So, the basic, unrefined base materials for orichalcum cost 11,000 :nuyen: The basic cost for refined, but not radical base materials is 22,000 :nuyen: The basic cost for radical base materials for orichalcum is 44,000 :nuyen: So, if you have 144,000 :nuyen:(assuming you buy it legally in Seattle, without the Street Index or Cost-of-Living modifier), you can buy an enchanting shop, one unit each of radical gold, silver, copper and mercury, and spend 28 days making as many units of orichalcum as you can. This orichalcum can be sold for 88,000 :nuyen: per unit; with appropriate fencing factors and the like mixed in at your GM's pleasure. Me? I'm going mining. |

How much does mined orichalcum sell for again? I know it's half as effective, but does that translate directly into half the cost or no?
