Hello. This is a recruitment thread to join the Never Trust an Elf: 2072 Part II Post by Post campaign module. Never Trust an Elf part II is the second part of an ongoing Dumpshock campaign which has expanded from a solo adventure to a multi-dimensional group. The adventure is taking place in Vancouver, Salish Shidhe and Victoria Island, Salish Shidhe. If the story goes well like the first part, then there may be a third part in the works. Thus far there there is one slot that is taken up. The character is Vera Renczi (Chrysalis), a doctor/face who specializes in social infiltration. I would like to keep the party to a minimum so we are looking for up to three more potential PCs, with an option for a reserve list. The story will be street level in nature and will focus on story and roleplaying above mechanics. As a special rule, I am allowing characters from other campaigns either post by post, chat, or even pencil and paper campaigns to enter the module. They may carry over earned karma. I ask that they be based off the 400BP character creation rules and the characters must meet GMs approval. Here are creation guidelines.
Never Trust an Elf 2072 is an urban street level setting campaign. The characters will be playing the roles of social infiltrators looking to conduct wetwork for the Saeder Krupp corporation. One of the player characters, Vera Renczi (who is the main protagonist from the previous story) will be acting as the Ms. Johnson for the team. Player characters will be expected to post every few days and a minimum of once a week, unless it is stated that they cannot for personal reasons in the OOC thread. If players do not contribute to the IC thread or communicate in the OOC thread for more then a month and do not respond to nudges then, a reserve player will take their place. Unfortunately, in order to keep a good pace to the game, the story may move on if a player is inactive for more then a few days. Since this is a specified run, there are certain archetypes and skills sets that are being looked at by the specific Ms. Johnson for the job. Here is a listing for certain skill sets and archetypes which are currently be sought in the shadows for this job.
More likely then not the runners will not have worked with each other in the past. But I will let the PC's decided if they want to be a regular team. Or at least have run into each other in the past. Here is what I need from potential PC's before being accepted and here is what I am looking for in terms of the application process.
Feel free to post your applications in this thread, send me a Private Message, or send them in an email to SincereAgape@hotmail.com. I'll open this thread up for questions, thank you for taking time to consider joining this PbP game. Never Trust an Elf is your classic street level Shadowrun Story. Where you have very few places to run, and even less to hide. Be professional, have fun, and don't forget to throw in a shred of pink mohawkism. [OOC Thread] [IC Thread: Never Trust an Elf Part I] |

Hi guys.
Already received interest to fill all three open slots for the game. In addition to having the character approved by the GM, there will also be an in character interview with Vera as soon as the character sheets are in. It will be treated as a potential meeting with a "Ms. Johnson" and thus she maybe looking for specifics in Shadowrunners to join her team. If the runners skill set and personality do not gel with her plans for the run, they maybe be denied for acceptance into the team (And therefore the story). This is a difficult process to go through to get into a PbP story. But we're looking for quality to fit the type of story Never Trust an Elf has come to achieve. This process also simulates a realistic approach to hiring in the world of Shadowrun 2072. And focuses on the importance of character, street reputation, personality, appearance, in the Shadows community. Thanks, Agape. |

Red Wolf (The artist who used to be known as the White Tiger), Icarus, and Babel. Thank you for posting your backgrounds and fleshed out characters. I am going to start working on the introductory post for the three of you very soon.
Please keep in mind post number five in this thread. Because your biography has been accepted by the GM does not necessary mean your character will make it through the story. As stated in the first post, a unique aspect of this story is that one of the PCs will be playing the role of Miss Johnson. Meaning she has the power to not hire any of the characters of the story. Consider the meet with Ms. Johnson as a interview of sorts. Alright. Time to set you guys in motion. Good luck chummers, and remember, never ever ever short change a Cyclops Bouncer. |

Glad everyone posted their introductions very quickly.
Should have the next post up either early evening EST (States) or Late later later in the evening EST. -Agape. *Edited the time frames. Early evening = dinner time. Late Late Late = 11-Midnightish. |

@Icarus. You see no commlink codes that you recognize in the area. If Vera is broadcasting her AR profile publically, then I believe you do see her as the Spider.
@Babel. Cyrus the Cyclops "EYE's" you with a lot of suspicion while you are sitting at the bar. Just as you get up to head into the bathroom you feel the ground shake and the bar stools begin to wobble as he begins to head your way. In the bathroom stall you begin to change. The stench of Cyrus is something you can smell. He walks across the closed stalls three times. Back and forth. Back and forth. BOOM BOOM..BOOM...BOOM. You breathe a sigh of relief as you realize he is only here to use the bathroom and was waiting impatiently for a urinal to become free. He takes a long and powerful loo, if the walls weren't reinforced your spidey sense tells you the pressure of his number 1 could have destroyed the wall. You make your way out into the restaurant. Grab a bottle of champagne and head towards the meet. Babel. I am confused about the way you used edge. It seems you trying to use edge in three ways. 1. Declare the use of edge before the roll (Which you did). Attribute + Skill + Edge dice =14 dice. You re-roll and sixes. You had one six, therefore you only get one re-roll. 2. You can declare the use of edge after you roll a test to add your edge score to the dice roll. So... First you would roll 9 dice for the attribute plus skill.... then.. Roll five dice for edge. Rule of six applies. 3. You may spend an edge after the roll to re-roll any failures. In this case. You roll 9 dice for attribute + skill and then re-roll any of those that did not succeed.[/u] You can only select one option. I'd go with number one. Since you rolled 14 dice initially. You then get to re-roll one dice, because of the one six to add it to the score. @Vera: You see Icarus approach the table and professionally greet Bubbles. After giving you the thumbs up, Bubbles verifies that he is indeed the runner known as Icarus and lets him sit. Optional- If you would like you can make a perception tests against his disguise roll when Babel introduces himself (4). First make a memory test Logic + Willpower (2) -- Figure Babel is a pretty recognizable and charasmatic person, this also includes the restaurant staff that you have been watching. Then make a perception test to actually see him approach the table. So far you have to beat six (Unless the maximum number of dice you can succeed is equal to your attribute or skill score. I forget. -Babel does get by Bubbles. |

@Sincereagappe lol, just checked the book and your right. Apparently we have been using edge wrong at our table.
so I'll use edge for 5 extra dice and re roll the 6 and for simplicity just say i got a 3 and stay at 6 hit thanks for the correction. I have signed up to GM at Dragoncon next year and I want to get little glitches like this worked out Its better to learn here than to having a player call me out at the table. |

I just want to see if my IC and OOC knowledge and ideas align here.
Would it be safe to assume ICly, based on my knowledge of computer systems that machines in a hospital would be hooked up to a node in the hospital that monitors and controls them? Say...machines like life support machines and ventilators in an ICU? Should I roll some Logic + matrix theory or Security systems on that, or just say that it's pretty obvious? |

Obvious: That for this story each machine still operates on its own without a central node. Security would operate on at a central node. But a life support machine would be its own device.
Crash Cart is known for hiring their own staff and prefers real people operating their machinery and taking care of their patients over computers. |

Welcome to the forums, Nergal. SincereAgape is the gm in this game. I think we are full up here. games start all the time and fill up fast. I am starting a game on another forum that has openings. PM me and we can talk. I'd recommend following a few of the games here to get a feel for how play goes. That's what I did.
ok, I'm gonna shoot a quick message to the team " we have company, round elf leaving has Pix." and then move towords the door, passing close enough behind elf #2 that he can hear me if i speak to him. edited for clarity |

@Babel.
The bar is right next to the entrance/exit to the restaurant, while the table you are sitting at is at the end of the restaurant. If you trying to intercept the Porty Elf, Babel will need to sprint there. Running towards the target will make a commotion, especially since Cyrus is heading your way.
