Professional Grade

Welcome to the professional grade campaign. Looking forward to working this with yall!

IC thread
Recruiting thread

Before you drop into the IC, each person on the list needs to post once with their character sheet, so I can keep it all at the front and have somewhere to look for stuff without searching. After that, feel free to post whatever OOC questions/comments/concerns you have.

When you're posting something specific for me, post @Rob (bold, red) to get my attention.

IC posting format

[ Spoiler ]

IC posts should be headed with a time date stamp, of the following format:
Place name, neighborhood, city
Time, day, date
Character Name

Speech is in salmon.
Direct (radio-to-radio) communication is in tan. Speech/voice transmission should be in quotes and text messages should read as: <@recipient's name (sender's name) - Message>
Communication over the matrix is in brown.
Any other type of commo (magic, whatever) is in cyan.

Dice rolls and OOC explanatory information can be included in a spoiler at the end of the post. When you post dice rolls, post them with:
Skill #rating + Attribute #rating + Modifier #rating = total dice: [dice rolls], # hits.
For example: Perception 4 + Attribute 4 + Visual Specialization 2 + Visual Enhancement 3 = 13d6: [1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,1], 4 hits. This copies easily from invisible castle.

Post your character sheets in the following format. Get it straight, but don't spend forever reformatting stuff before you post IC. Good formatting should be a convenience, less a show-stopper:

Max Broman (reformated)

Character Sheet:

[ Spoiler ]

Max Broman:

[ Spoiler ]

Human, 5'8" blue eyes, sandy blond hair, sharply dressed, Big grin, super white teeth
20 questions

[ Spoiler ]

1) parents:
Max's Dad was a grifter in auburn. Max's mother worked in a textile plant. his Dad was locked up after ripping off a
few bankers for 40k.

2)What would they say about Max:
His dad is proud as punch,"My boy is in the big leagues" . His Mother is also very proud, but she thinks he is running
a semi legit investment company."I'm just glad he didn't turn out like his father, all the good looks and none of the bad
habits"

3)How has recent events impacted max:
When Max was 18, his father took him into the biggest scam he had ever run. Telling people that Dunklesahn's will
was going to create a new company, and that it could likely become the next Megacorp. He spread the name
around,"Vibratech". They didn't ask them for anything directly, just built a buzz during the media storm that surrounded
all the strange outcomes of the will. Then got a hacker to add the fake company to the exchange. It only stayed up for a
minute and a half, but they sold 8,000 shares and made a small fortune. The hacker ended up with the lions share, but it was the most exciting thing Max had ever experienced

4)How did Max end up in the Shadows:
Max tried to walk the straight and narrow. after his father got locked up, his mother sent him to Business school
(with money his father made grifting). With no SIN, Max worked as a freelance investor. Working with corporate
middle management. But he found the richer they were, the crazier they were, Drugs, girls, fetishes. He ended up getting them the illicit things they craved more than investing their money, and the lifestyle began to rub off on him. especially the drugs.

5)Whats Max's pad like(hehe):
Its....colorful. his tridio is like virtual reality in the flesh. There's simsense of sex laced through everything. Lots of
images of hot young girls bent over very expensive cars. He has a wall in his bathroom tagged with the Zoe' matrix
catalog, Instantly updated and draped over a virtual representation of himself. His 5th floor condo has mirror ceilings in
every room and a vintage wine rack over the mirrored bar that separates the kitchen from the den. There are laser light
effects both real and augmented, and all the furniture is Tru Synth leather, Black.

6)Any religion or convictions:
His mother is Jewish, but he doesn't think about religion much in this part of his life. He feels that there's a sucker
born every minute and if you get duped out of your money, you deserved to lose it. Of course he's not keen on steeling
from the poor. there's no sport in it. He's not a fan of violence.

7)What do I dislike about Max:
Max is like a used car salesman sometimes. You always kind of wonder what he's after. He's also real high strung
and energetic. it's hard to mellow out or relax if you're in the same room with him.

8)Best and worst magacorp for Max:
He loves him some Aztechnology. Some of his favorite party people work for them, and they know how to have a
good time. He also likes there sense of style. He's kind of had a thing for the seattle pyramid since he was a kid. He's
not really against any Megacorp to a serious extent, but "Evo" has a real hippie vibe that doesn't sit right with him.

9)What's the story with his contacts:
This could take a while.....
Sam- is an Aztechnologie company man. Max met him at a club that he barely remembers flying to in Aztlan. He talked
up a storm there to some serious bigwigs, and when he woke up in his living room , he thought he dreamed it all, until the first "request" came to his inbox. He's done a couple jobs for him now, and he can only vaguely remember what the guy looked like

Brad Hefton-is a guy that max met in business school. its kind of a fluke that he ran into him while trying to sort out some travel problems. One night of drinking and a hefty wad of cash, and old brad can really grease a few wheels in the travel paper department.

Julian Barberry- is officially a barber. Bud he is also the mafia don's trusted advisor. Max started getting invites to this hairstylist, and a few guys came to s door and insisted it would be in his interest to try this place out. Turn's out the mob was looking to launder some extra cash in a hurry. So Max forged a few investment portfolios and boom. Julian recieved a windfall from shortselling stocks. he was so imressed that max still launders the mob's money from time to time.

Ami Hida- Had a very shamful roll in the hay with old Max after a very wild tea party. Now she throws a little business his way as sort of a pay off in case he was thinking of spreading the word around. And who knows, maybe she had some fun

Zackery Tatem-He worked with Max's dad in the Dunkelzahn scheme and he knows Max has some real potential. He also knows where Max's dad is and has a little leverage on him, which helps in the trust department.

Ivan Krenski- This guy happened to catch Max on a drinking binge. One of the rare times when the nova coke runs out, and Max tries to fight off the downward spiral with booze. Ivan had Just had to beat up his best friend because the guy owed his boss money. The two just clicked for that moment in time. they traded "cards", and every once in a while, they'll get hammered together.

the Black Star- this group gave their number to his mother at temple. she passed it to him thinking it was some kind of youth group, volunteer thing. Max had heard of their Christian counterpart, so he called them up. The group was just getting started but they had some potential, so he funds them when he can.

The komungo ring- was a group he was refered to by sam. They have come in handy more times than he can count, and he's becoume sort of a regular customer.

the busher's- Max was looking for reliable smugglers in and out of the Salish-Shidhe lands. He played up his father's Makah heritage(even though his father was half Irish) and found a group that worked in the shadow of the council's military. giving them a huge scope and maneuverability. their numbers aren't quite there yet, but they have been very effective.

10) What does max do ona lazy sunday:
Usually sleeps off a Bender for the first 8 to 10 hours. If he's up at a decent time he'll call his mother and make idle chat over brunch, sitting on his couch, looking out over the Sound and the Tacoma docks. Trying to explain why he hasn't met the right girl yet. then he'll shoot an email to his Dad telling him about his latest Adventures, whichecking the news on trideo and the Matrix at the same time. With nothing do, assuming his stash isn't totally wiped, he'll get cleaned up and go test drive the lastest Eurocar Westwind, or head to downtown for some shopping. He might hit a Casino for dinner and cards. Usaully he'll meet an interesting lady along the way, but nobody his mother would approve of.

11)How did Max aquire his skills:
I'm sure Van Gough's father had this experience when he taught his son to paint. Max's dad was showing him the ropes of grifting from the time he could talk, and max picked it up like magic. The boy had a quick wit and attention to detail that was unmatched. The same held true when he was in business school. he just got more out of it than most. Max is always learning. as he found himself in the shadows, hes had to start developing some , harder skills. Like shooting and not getting shot. This is not something max wants to engage in really, so its slowed his progress in those areas.

12)what is the Moral line for Max:
Max is not into violence (outside of consenting sexual partners), So he doesn't get himself involed in wetwork, Killing sprees, weird vendettas, or hate crimes. those usually don't have the financial returns he would like anyway.

13)How about his Adept tradition:
Max doesn't realise he is awakened. He feels his magic as a drive to succeed. its his never say die, climb any mountain attitude. Those motivation tags at the office are his mentor spirit. remember, whether you think you can , or you think you can't, you're probably right. this was true until recently. he began to get more than just a sense of people, he began to see thier auras, and then more of the magical plane he had only heard about from wage mages. now he is reading corporate sites on being a mage, and the "Hermetic tradition" and he has discovered the ability to summon magical spirits, but this is all very new to him.

14)any implants:
nope

15)what does max think of "ordinary life":
Max sees ordinary life as his dad in jail, and living inthe shadows as hanging on the street corner as a kid playing "lost watch" with his dad. He sees ordinary life as his mom working in a glue factory for peanuts, and the shadows as the women in 3,000 skirts snorting coke off of their pool boy on a teusday afternoon.

16)whats Max's nightmare:
slowing down, losing his edge. He has nightmares about drowning, but he's not suffocating, he's just moving too slow and he can't understand what people are saying, and no one seems to notice him or care. Sometimes he has dreams about being in jailwith his father, but those are good and bad

17) what items/ people are sacred to Max:
at 16,Max was runng a "Lottery scam" on a girl. Lilly Katherine, an Irish catholic with red hair and rich parents. He caught her sneeking out of private school and helped her get out and get cigarettes a few times. then he told her that he had rigged the lotery, all but one number and if she had 50 cred to buy all the possible tickets, they could be rich. It was a stupid scam looking back on it , but Lilly probably didn't care about the money. She gave him the cred and took his virginity in his dads Americar behined a stuffer shack. He never saw her again, and he spent the money on his first immitation Rolex. That watch is Max's lucky charm. He doesn't waer it, because it's an obvious knock off, but he carries it in his pocket.

18)What did max want to be as a child/ what about now:
As a child, max wanted to be like his dad. excited, happy, smarter than the average bear. he wanted to walk the streets and take what he wanted with a smile and a little white lie. Now he wants the same thing on a grander scale. But I think he is on the verge of realising that he's missing something that his dad had. A smart and loving anchor to keep him from self destruction

19) What does max look like:
He's 5'8" with brown eyes sandy blond hair thats cut short and trendy. He likes a little stubble to give his look a little more edge. His skin is tan and his features are boyish, but square.His teeth are perfect and white. His nose is a little large due to his jewish and Native american heritage(he is an American mutt that also includes a little Japanese with the others I have already mentioned) He waers shiny Zoe' suites with big mirror sunglasses.

20) How did Max get his street name:
Max was a name his father made up for him on the spot and it kind of stuck. The "Broman" part came from an old customer of his that was pretty burnt out on Bliss. It was a murmured version of "Brother man", But Max liked it.

Normaly all my Drones and the Agent are subscribed and slaved to my persona. The IC patrols both nexi and attacks all which is not on its whitelist. Both systems use analyze on themselves and report any unusual activity to me, my agent and my IC. If i am in my sleepcycle, the control of all active drones and machines falls to the agent (just for security) which will stay in my homenode. The agent is often tasked with following me and using medic on me, or doing backup "legwork" in the matrix independently.

I pretty much record everything into a huge database for later use (Conversations, photos, video, news of interest, blueprints and formulas etc.) (Locked with my Databomb)

I need circa 3010 NY/month for patches and updates.

Contacts: (Loyalty, Rating)
Gamble (4/5) -AI, Money-Launderer/Fixer for AI's/Russian Mob connection/Host of the monthly AI-Poker Tournament
-Gamble is the "owner" of an online-casino with very close ties to the russian mob. For reasons unknown he is helping all AI's which find him (and are SIN-less) out with informations, contacts, false SIN's and good advise. He also provides money laundering and money storage. Also he is a gamer at heart, revelling in chances, risks, calculations and often takes his time to play one of his many friends in one of hundreds of games. His real age is estimated at over five years, which makes him very powerful and big by AI-standards.
Reynolds (4/3) -Elf, Owner of Reynolds Engineering / Rapid prototyping / Materials and Services
- Normaly a very legit man with no ties to the shadows, Thomas Reynolds finds himself indebted to Wayland (and liking his strangeness), after his business profited from Waylands expertise and processing power. He now rents out his old non-nano-abled factory/warehouse to him, and supplies him with all kinds of materials. His firm is specialized in odd requests (of rich peoples), prototyping for special machinery and customizing and maintance of special machinery and vehicles.
Will (?/5) - Human, ?
Seamus (1/1) -Ork, street fixer / errand boy who tries to hit it big (he is BAD... but improving)
- Seamus is a young ork from the worst part of the city. Pretty much uneducated he at least shows some potential for dealing with dangerous people. He is spending most of his weekends selling drugs at bars and clubs trying to get to know people and secure better and cheaper supplies. But that is not all he does, trying to get a foot into the real shadow comunity he does odd jobs (like transporting contrabant through the city), setting up meetings, bodyguarding, trading second hand equipment and so on. (he is very bad at all of this)
Lt. Ericson (2/2) -Human, supply officer in Fort Lewis. Armor, Ammunition and “used� military equipment.
- Based on a colossal screw-up in the past, Ericson is pretty much stuck at his rank of Lieutenant and bound to the desk and his position for lifetime. To make up for the additional money he would like to earn and maybe just out of spite he "loses" some of the entrusted equipment. And he became very good at doing it without anyone ever noticing. He is pretty much a drunk, cunning asshole who only cares for the money.
Strazinsky (2/2) -Human, sales representative of Ares Arms/Macrotechnology (Drones,Weapons, Ammunition)
- Unsure if he is doing it with knowledge and approval of his superiors or on his own, but this man does not care for a SIN, licenses, or even a face. He is selling his merchandise to everyone with money... Or so the people think. He never shows his face either, and it is pretty much unknown if he really is Strazinsky, if he really works for Ares or if he is just a cunning fixer with a good pipeline. He seems pretty much devoid of character and never leaves any clues. He takes the order, and gives you location and time to get your stuff and pay -thats all... or is it?
VR-Raiderz (2/4+8) Cracker and Hacker Group (only the finest programs/cutting edge)
Members: 2(>99), Area of Influence: 2(Sprawl), Matrix Resources: 4(pervasive)
- Never underestimate this group. (Even if their name is like the name of a matrix gang of script-kiddies) Consisting of dozens of excellent programmers and a fair share of hackers, some technomancers and even some AI's, the Raiderz are an excellent source for informations and rumors surrounding the matrix and very high rated programs. If you get access to their database (With "donations" or by providing own programs), you can pretty much stop looking everywhere else. And if you gain access to the communication network you will always have informed, clever people at your side (also some paranoid, insane ones or completely estranged, weird ones) The Raiderz are based all around the world, but the old core is nearly exclusive rooted in the seattle shadows and some R&D departments of some corps.

Will - (C5, L?) Company man of unknown allegiance.

Tallon's crew - (C2[6], L4) Tallon's stable of smugglers and related talents. 2-19 members, Active Matrix, sprawl-wide influence.

• Notable members include:

• Ghent (hacker) Naïve genius. Spends hours cracking encryptions and codes for no reason other than because he’s bored. Has a short attention span when it pertains to anything not on a screen and encrypted.
• Chin (armorer) Aves’ best friend. Has a pair of barghests for pets. Sarcastic and streetwise, he ensures the quality of any weapons Tallon moves.
• Aves (Transportation) Tallon’s driver, pilot, and all around vehicle man. If it moves people or things from point A to point B, he’s driven or piloted it and made some form of modification to it. Chin’s best friend, and likewise sarcastic and streetsmart. The two of them tend to have highly amusing prank-wars from time to time. Just don’t call Aves a driver.
• Mara (street sam) A skilled elf gillette, Mara's in charge of arranging security for any risky runs and for dealing with any trouble that may pop up.

Transportation, Inc. - (C2[10], L2) parent smuggling ring. National, minor magic, active matrix, 20-99 people

Frank - (C2, L3) Border Patrol Guard who isn't adverse to padding his bank account.

Sarah - (C2, L2) Worker in the city's Records Office. Willing to arrange for deliveries to have appropriate permits. For a fee, of course.

Markus - (C2, L1) Weapons dealer. Fair, skilled, and generally useful. Not very trusting of Tallon yet, and likes his money far more than he likes him.

Ricardo

Face

Mataglap hires Ricardo to act as a front when he has to hire talent for his own purposes. The little Hispanic Dwarf is a failed Sim-sense actor that Mataglap met at a party in the Hilton. While not a talented actor Ricardo is a born Grifter and plays the role of Fixer with consummate ease.

Loyalty: 1

Connection: 1


Warezhouse 24


Loyalty: 1

Connection: 3(8)

Mataglap gets through a lot of code and prefers not to use anything that can be traced back to his corporate masters. Cracked programs give him a level of anonymity.


Air-side

Loyalty: 1

Connection: 1(12)

Every major Airport in the world has one or two members of this organisation working air-side. The group owns warehousing and drones at every Airport and has established collection and drop procedures that permits members to have anything legitimately moved air-side for storage in the warehouse, quickly and quietly shipped using scheduled flights to any other airport and even air-dropped anywhere it is needed. Fees for these services are comparable to the cost of sending a person on the same trip and so Air-side is rarely used by commercial smugglers. Need to get something to the other side of the world in a hurry, no questions asked? Air-side is your crew.


Johnny Cabs

Loyalty: 1

Connection: 1(5)

Johnny Cabs is a Seattle based Cab company bought out by a consortium of fifteen Runners as a retirement package shortly after the Crash. The fleet of a hundred or so automated drone Cabs ply the streets of the Metroplex raking in a decent legitimate income for the owners. Behind the scenes though they are all still active in the Shadow community. It didn't take them long to tire of being on the right side of the law and they diversified into the lucrative 'runs gone bad' market.

'You're never more than five minutes from a Johnny Cab' goes the marketing jingle. With the right biometrics this means that you are never more than five minutes from medical assistance, an armoured ride and one of several dozen rotating safe-houses full of useful emergency supplies.

All the Cabs are outfitted for remote Rigger operations, up-armoured and equipped with enough hidden medical gear to allow the Rigger to keep your sorry butt breathing until you can make it to the safehouse. A couple of the owners are competent magical healers and their services can be had at extra cost if necessary.

It'll probably costya most of the paydata you just liberated but at least you'll live to run again...

Qualities:

[ Spoiler ]

Positive:

Erased (10BP)
What better way to ensure your record stays just how you'd like it to, and all of those nasty little recordings of you stay off the Matrix than to have your very own hacker on retainer? Skytale does the deed in this case for Jared, and he is very, very good at what he does.

Local Fame - Seattle (5BP)
While it has been nearly a decade, plenty of people still recognize the Assistant District Attorney of Seattle who allegedly slept with a Mafioso's teenage daughter, and then tampered with the evidence in one of his collegue's cases in order to make sure the Mafioso didn't see jail time. While the allegations were false, Jared took it as a chance to bow out of public office. Oddly enough the public sees him as some kind of fading cult hero, more than likely because of his reputation before that.

Privileged Family Name (5 BP)
Before his downfall Jared was a household name in Seattle, and one that was spoken with pride. Hand in hand with Lone Star, Jared was responsible for deftly picking apart several major Mafia operations, and was seen as the city's golden boy. Though he has somewhat fallen from grace, his name still has a lot of pull in all the right places. Needless to say he doesn't get parking tickets.

Trustworthy - Negotiation (5BP)
Linguist (5 BP)

Negative:

Day Job - Income: 15000/month (15BP)

While he operates in the shadows as a fixer, Jared still maintains a lucrative legitimate law practice. As senior partner on Engles and Associates he may not see the inside of a courtroom too often, but he spends plenty of time in the office managing the substantial caseload his name has attracted.

Records on File - Horizon (10BP)
SINner - UCAS (5BP)
Bad Reputation (5BP)

While his record prior to the incident may have been spotless, the allegations surrounding trial tampering and illicit affairs within the context of the Seattle Mafia have left Jared's image tarnished. In certain strata of legal society this stain will never go away.

Excellent. We're down to business, then. Post up IC and OOC at will, and we'll get the meet rolling along as the people trickle in. Note that you will probably rapidly begin making new contacts and/or gaining access to certain funds, so as the game starts rolling we'll have to keep good notes.

Note, also, that now's the time to post your starting cash up.

[BlackHat]

Will get Artisan's IC post together today or tomorrow - although I intend him to arrive "fashionably late", even if I end up posting before others get to it.

I had asked earlier in the recruitment thread, but:

1) Any objection to taking average starting cash, rather than rolling?
2) As far as rolling goes, what is your preferred method for us to do that? Invisible castle?

[rob]

1) Average starting cash = 3.5*number of D6, round down to nearest $100? fine.
2) Invisible castle is my preferred method, otherwise I'm ambivalent.

[BlackHat]

Artisan will just have his commlink, trod-band, credstick, and clothing with him. No weapons, and no armor beyond whatever is built into the clothing he had nanofaxed over this morning. Average starting cash would be the 27,000 in his char-sheet (legitimate money, so tied to his SIN).

I intentionally put him a little late to the party. If things got started without him, that's fine, otherwise, if Will is willing to wait for him, awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@Marwynn - roll some dice for assensing Will.

@Blackhat - I'll wait until more people post up to move you in. I can't see anyway to introduce you yet without modding their reactions.

No problem. My fault for wanting to be late. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

3 hits

I originally had 4 hits but I registered to invisible castle afterwards. So this'll be the first roll, I'm okay with those 3 hits.

@All - with the posting colors, I put out the names of the colors so it's easy. Just type in <color=salmon> for speech, <color=cyan> for thinking or telepathing or whatever; etc. (except replace the less-than/greater-thans with brackets.) There's a couple of yall who are using them right and a couple not, and I can usually figger it out from context, but the point is so I don't have to.

[crizh]

I haven't forgotten you honest. I'm nearly done my opening post but I don't have time to finish it tonight so I'll post it in the morning.

That'll be about six or seven hours from now I reckon....

[rob]

@Crizh - I'm annoyed as hell by your first post. Let me count the ways:
1. Software package - those prices aren't right. The availability numbers on them aren't right. I can find nowhere where you rolled for starting cash. I've already mentioned problems with your equipment, and then you want to tell me you can get all this crap in 8 minutes? Through a contact? With loyalty 1? For stuff your character needs to make his concept viable? That defies both sense and the intent of character generation.
2. Chemicals - my ass you made 130 kgs of rating 15 foam explosive. I have no idea what kind of threshold you're assuming for these, what your dice level is, etc. You purchased 80 kgs of rating 4 foam explosive precursors at the start. Right at the start you're making me suspicious of your bookkeeping, and I'm pissed that I have to investigate it.
3. The data search for common interest is 6; limited interest is 12. I don't care if you get 25 hits on an extended test, you're not getting "hidden information" unless you're actively looking for specifics. Roll against the threshold you're trying to search for information on, not the threshold for "whatever I think I can get." And what is this "active search" modifier?
4. EM sense: Which of the several bioware/cyberware/nanoware/etc. things are you using as the basis for your EM sense? Most of them have a range of 1m, so unless you want to get up in that troll's personal space, you're not gonna get much from it. Plus, you'll be walking within his personal space and looking him up and down, which (where I come from) is a veritable invitation to get your ass kicked, and I'm a lot more patient than most of the professional bodyguards I know.
5. Astral perception/general perception rolls: Again, don't give me a 'looking for stuff.' I need specifics, and intent, of the things that you're looking for. I think I figured it out in my response, (i.e., general security assessment of the hall and rooms, specific assessment of the troll) but I shouldn't have to figure that out.

You've twigged all my munchkin alarms, and that annoys me. Don't try to roll stuff pass me, or handwave things away. If I have to spend an hour or so reading through multiple sourcebooks to figure out why you're doing what you're doing, then I don't want to GM you. If you can't write a post that treats something significant (like a 30-thousand-dollar-purchase of highly illegal software) AS something significant, then you shouldn't be in this game.

[BlackHat]

I can't speak for anyone else's intentions, but i might be able to point you at where I think he might have been coming from with some of this. For most of these, it might just be that the relevant rule is in some obscure sourcebook, may be entirely optional, or may be a rule that Rob doesn't intend to use (which would probably affect the viability of someone who planned on making use of it).

1. Software package - those prices aren't right. The availability numbers on them aren't right. I can find nowhere where you rolled for starting cash. I've already mentioned problems with your equipment, and then you want to tell me you can get all this crap in 8 minutes? Through a contact? With loyalty 1? For stuff your character needs to make his concept viable? That defies both sense and the intent of character generation.

My guess is that he is trying to use the rules from Unwired that lets you find programs without the copyright stuff at 10% cost, and very quickly. Not sure if the rule is optional, or intended to be cannon, but I've seen this come up in a few games where it is much cheaper/easier to get programs within an hour of the game starting, than to buy them at char-gen. I think the intervals are in minutes (or maybe even combat rounds) so even high availability programs (like reality filters) don't take too long to track down.

In terms of why its only viable this way, the consensus is that its crazy to hack with programs that are not cracked, but cracked programs degrade too quickly to ever be purchased at full price. (Spending 100K every month or two just to maintain status quo). Since the books never specifically say that cracked programs are any cheaper at character-creation, its usually best to wait and track them down in game using cheap legal common-use programs. Your costs go from 100K to 10K, but its 10K you have to respend every few months to maintain them.

Of course, I've never been in a PbP game that has lasted more than a month or two.

2. Chemicals - my ass you made 130 kgs of rating 15 foam explosive. I have no idea what kind of threshold you're assuming for these, what your dice level is, etc. You purchased 80 kgs of rating 4 foam explosive precursors at the start. Right at the start you're making me suspicious of your bookkeeping, and I'm pissed that I have to investigate it.

Ditto. Arsenal has lots of rules for cooking up explosives. I have not really boned up on them, but i've been in a few games with people who have, and unlike programming your own code, it seems to be a pretty simple task to cook up your own chemicals (interval shorter than the months used for programming).

4. EM sense: Which of the several bioware/cyberware/nanoware/etc. things are you using as the basis for your EM sense? Most of them have a range of 1m, so unless you want to get up in that troll's personal space, you're not gonna get much from it. Plus, you'll be walking within his personal space and looking him up and down, which (where I come from) is a veritable invitation to get your ass kicked, and I'm a lot more patient than most of the professional bodyguards I know.

There is a metagenic quality for EM-sense in Runner's Companion. Range is based off of essence, I think. There is also a technomancer ability that does the same thing (based off of resonance) but I assume that is not what he wanted.

For the record, there are a number of new mundane senses in Running Wild p204-206.

Looking at the Metagenic quality I probably would have been better using that if I could have found a way to shoe-horn it in. Ce la vie.

[rob]

@Crizh - still don't know which electronic sense you're working on, though... I looked through augmentation, the core book, street magic, etc. What one are you using? I just need some rules to pin it to.
