An ongoing campaign is looking for more runners.

The game is based out of the Bay Area in California Free State.

The most important thing I will need is your 30 Questions.

[ Spoiler ]

Background
1/Where and what kind of environment did you character grow up?
2/What are you character's relations with their family?
3/Does your character have an ethnic background?

Appearance
4/What does your character look like?
5/What does your character dress like?
6/What are your character's physical quirks?

Skills, attributes, resources
7/What did your character always want to be?
8/Where and how did your character learn their Active and Knowledge Skills?
9/Where and how did your character get their major equipment and ‘ware?
10/Where and in what kind of place does your character live?
11/Who are your character’s contacts?
12/Who are your character’s enemies?
13/For non-Awakened characters, how does your character feel about magic?

Personality
14/What are your character’s personality quirks?
15/What are your character’s likes and dislikes?
16/What is your character’s moral code?
17/Does your character have any beliefs?
18/What are your character’s personal motivations?

Running the shadows
19/Why does your character run the shadows?
20/What would make your character leave the shadows?

Personal
21/ What would make you stop adventuring?
22/ What type of entertainment does the character like?
23/ Does your character identify themselves with a specific group of people?
24/ Describe the room where you sleep.
25/ What actor would play this character in the movies? Why?
26/ If you weren't shadowrunning, you'd be doing... what?
27/ What's your idea of getting "dressed up?"
28/ Where were you when Dunkelzhan was assassinated?

Experienced
29/ What were your first impressions of your teammates?
30/ What advice would you give a noobie runner?

Next is Chargen. Originally this was set as three campaigns, a low level, chargen level, high level. We are now in the chargen level.
Chargen can be done by either priority, sum of ten, or 135 build points. Usually you can get the best results from build points, since I gave a few extra, so I suggest this method. After you select your chargen method, remember these limitations:

[ Spoiler ]

1/ Unmodified maximum for Attributes and Skills is 6
2/ Any equipment and cyberware/bioware over availability 8 must be approved by GM, and explained in your 30 questions.
3/ Remember question nine on the character outline, how your character acquired major equipment and cyberware/bioware was acquired.
4/ All players are required to take at least 6 points in flaws. Players can also elect to take up to 3 points in edges. These edge points will be matched by flaw points. Unspent edge points from this manner can be banked, but you will have to allocate flaw points.
5/ Players can also purchase up to 3 edge points at a rate of 2 BP per 1 edge point. These are not matched by flaw points. Edges will later be able to be gained through a combination of Karma and role play. Flaws will also be able to be eliminated through this manner.

At the end of chargen, players will need to provide a brief summary of their Contacts and Enemies. In addition to some basic information, I will need some in depth description so I can role play them a little better. I am not creative enough to make up the personalities of 20 contacts.ription. Then a brief description (1-3 paragraphs) of your contacts personality, how they know your character, how they interact, and what your character does for them to keep them as a contact.

I'm wondering what kind of concept the group is looking for. From the OoC thread I see that it has "Troll Muscle", a "Leader Mercenary" and a "Covert Operative" but I am not exactly sure what they cover already and what's still needed.

[Kliko]

One word: "Magic" preferably a full magician or shaman.

Alternatively we could make good use of a (combat) decker.

@Bastard: I'll post in the IC recruitment tomorrow. I'm just back home and exhausted (but happy).

[Bastard]

@Kliko - No prob. I was MIA all weekend.

Once you get the info from Radek and start looking for runners, I hope to have some PCs lined up.

---

@ Hudson - I would definitely have to agree with Kliko.

[Bastard]

ntwi should be joining the Recruitment thread soon.

Kliko , did I tanslate that right? "I see ghosts, or you stop long enough?"

[Kliko]

@Bastard: Should be more along the lines of: "Am I seeing ghosts, or didn't you dig deep enough?" its a bit of a taunt.

[ntwi]

Felix sticks his head into the room. "My ears are burning, did someone mention my name?"

[Bastard]

Welcome aboard ntwi, it will not be too long before the next mission get under way.

I am still hoping for one more party member...

[Bastard]

"Voy a seguir buscando" = "I'll keep looking"

Hi Guys,

Looks like a fun campaign, gonna do the 30 questions and chargen for a Combat Mage if that is cool.

Later

Great. PM me when completed!

[galenbd]

Hey all,

I'm new to the site, but I've been trying to find a SR 3 game for a while.
I'm going to try and work up a combat decker. I've got a background, but it might take me a little bit to translate it to the answers.

Welcome to dumpshock!

We could sure make use of a good Combat Decker!

[galenbd]

Ok. Apparently I can't use PM until I get 10 posts. I have read through some of the Evolution links. I have some questions.

What sources are available?
I saw a thread indicating 135 points. GM, can you please confirm?
Once I get the 30 questions answered, where do I send them? Particularly since I cannot yet PM.
I know I need 6 points in flaws. I want 4 points of edges. My current understanding is that need to pay double for the first 3 points, then provide 1 more point of Flaw to balance this out. Is this correct?
What year is it?

6/ All characters need to be approved by the GM.

The edges and flaws basically read like you're required to take at least 6 points in flaws and can take 3 points in edges. In your case it means you require 7 points of flaws and can elect 4 points of edges to your liking (or spent 2 BP for the extra edge point).

The year is 2062.

El Bastardo will sent you a pm with his contact details.

[Bastard]

Thanks Kliko!

I have been dead tired this week!

I need a stiff drink and about 2 days of sleep!

GalenBD, I pm'ed you my email address. Protect it with your life.

[Kliko]

Thanks Kliko!

Copy-paste man, just copy-paste

@Sneaky and Juan: Feel free to move forward in the IC thread. We might do some nice scenery describing Ludmilla's pit-fighting (or was it boxing matches?) and hook up with her there. We might even do the initial recruiting right after her match. I trust Jaxx/El Bastardo to know what the team needs.

Appreciated

@ntwi: Feel free to join in the IC Recruitment-thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Felix,
Bubba,
Kliko and
Ludi

Are all up on the Recruitment IC, and free to post.

If nothing is up by Sunday night I will bump the story.

I will be closing up the Evolution IC also, since it seems all questions are or will be entered. After doing so, I will copy the Recruitment IC over to it, and we can move on from there, again with one OoC and one IC.

I'm going to presume that the meet that Jaxx set up will be in a casual setting, if it's not I'll just edit my post and change clothes.

Otherwise, the die rolls for Felix's preperations. (All of these are pretty standard for him.)
