2072 [+4 Months], Multiple Players / GMs - Recruitment Always Open Options

[RdMarquis]

Compiling is a complex action. No reason for that to be especially noticeable, like noticing magic I expect. But the sprite rezzing in might be, unless it is running a Stealth program by default. Sleuth does, so it should be an opposed test for Winter to notice it.

Also look at the traceroute power UW156. Slower, but can be used without winter's icon being present. Possible minuses, due to TM [re]spoofing access ID

That's what I was thinking. Short of a critical success on threading, LeFey won't come up with much of a Track form.

4 hits to compile a Rating 5 Sleuth sprite.

3 hits to resist, leaving her with 1 service (always by the skin of her teeth, this girl).

5 hits to resist 6P Fading, which means she loses 1.

Post to follow.

Can you make the trace rolls for your sprite please?

High velocity enables larger bursts when used in full auto mode, but does not require full auto mode. AR26 sidebar. Especially with electronic fire modification, any combination should be possible, except short burst. Sprogget may not have made it clear enough in the initial instructions / configuration for LeO, but what I was expecting was semi-automatic mode.
The compensated recoil cuts the negatives when used full auto, but again does not require it.

Given the 'wound' qualifier, any burst should be wide burst, to keep the damage down. If burst fire really needed for this, a wide burst aimed low should do the trick. Maybe Sprogget needs to set 'sniper' mode too. For initiative, LeO has 3 passes, but a base of response(6)+Pilot(3). Everyone 'here' is between 8 and 10, so dice rolls are enough to make a difference on first action, but PBP usually ignores that anyway. If I post IC before a response to this, I'll ignore the weapon fire (for now).

Ok, sniper mode required for SA, default is bursts, overkill is FA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Wide burst would have made it slightly less lethal probably given that a lot of the damage was the goon's appalling defence roll and knocking D off wouldn't have changed that much, but rather than change too much I'll leave it as is...you were firing an AR at an unarmoured leg - the results IRL would have been about similar I suspect!

I 'gather' that Sprogget is not seeing any additional threat yet with that perception.

Not yet, there's just the two one of them!

@Mach_Ten
It helps if you include the actual dice rolls, instead of just the totals, so GM can more easily make adjustments, like the visibility modifier.

Please do make my life easy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you can also tell me what you think I should be rolling it saves me looking up the rules too! Once upon a time I knew them but 2 years of pbp and I find I need to look the damn things up more than I don't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

For reference: visibility mods from now on [I am assuming everyone has access to at least thermo and lowlight - are Sprogget's drones equipped with both?!?] partial light -0D, heavy rain -2D...if you only have one vision type the table is on p136 SR4A, let me know!

[ChromeZephyr]

Scrapheap only has his natural low-light, but looking at the table the only negative is from the rain. Thankfully, his goggles have good vision enhancement. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here you go.

16 hits over 5 rolls to Track Winter.

Amended the OOC post here to include rolls

visibility modifiers dropping the last number of rolls has negligible effect on the perception ot the shooting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The drone sensors vary. All except the monocycle have at least both Low Light and Thermographic. Monocycle is the only one with (regular) radar. The character information post (link in sig) has links to PDFs with the details. The vehicles PDF with better format / detail.

Sensors:
Moncycle: Radar, 2 x Motion, 2 x Laser Range Finder, Atmosphere, 2 x Camera (standard trideo)
LeO: Motion, Laser Range Finder, 2 x Microphone (Audio Enhance, spatial, select), 2 x Camera (Flare, Vision Enhance, Smartlink, Image Link, Low Light, Thermographic, Magnification)
G’Eye: UWBR, Olfactory, 2 x Trideo (Flare, Image Link, Vision Enhance, Audio Enhance, Low Light, Thermographic, Magnification, Spatial, Directional Microphone, Motion, Laser Range Finder) + ECCM(6)
Banjo: UWBR, Radio Signal Scanner, Thermometric, Laser Range Finder, 3 x Trideo (Flare, Vision Enhance, Audio Enhance, Low Light, Thermographic, Ultrasound, Spatial, Select Sound, Motion, Non-Linear Junction Detector, Atmosphere) + ECCM(6)

UWBR AR60 uses same vision modifiers as ultrasound (mentioned elsewhere I think, I do not see why either ultrasound or UWBR would have modifiers for partial/no light).

Probably need to add one more die back to LeO attacks.  The Ares Alpha includes Improved Range Finder modification AR152, reducing range penalties by 1.

Any Ideas about including information about the jumped-in drone specs in the header / matrix information?  Given Sprogget’s equipment, part is already misleading.  He is carrying a skinlinked wireless adapter, with signal rating 5.  Routing through that, both commlink and bionode range is boosted to match.

Jumped-in: Banjo (Dalmation): 8/20 60; Response 3, Signal 5, System 3, Firewall 3; Hidden; ECCM(6)+Erg+Opt(3), (sensor) ECCM(6)+Erg+Opt(3), Encrypt(6)+Erg+Opt(3)+Crashguard

Autonomous would include pilot and autosofts
Banjo (Dalmation): 8/20 60; Response 3, Signal 5, System 3, Firewall 3, Pilot 3; Hidden; Clearsight(4)+Opt(1), Maneuver(4)+Opt(1), Electronic Warfare(4)+Opt(1), ECCM(6)+Erg+Opt(3), (sensor) ECCM(6)+Erg+Opt(3), Encrypt(6)+Erg+Opt(3)+Crashguard

@Aria

I think CoP is probably ready for a change of scene now. I could do this maybe, but I didn't know what you had in mind and I try to avoid directing NPCs when possible.

[Aria]

Ok, here goes nothing...quick take on where I think the games are...


@E:PL:
Mordred trying to heal Stitch, note that Requiem is heading after Copperhead, feel free to go too, Stitch is just about alive enough to protect the kids for now!
Gemeaux angling for a shot on the TM (does anyone remember if I named him previously??? I can't find my notes on that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) )
Copperhead pursuing Snag, and I'm assuming Anselm is also going to do something similar

@Virtual Scream:
I think I'm waiting for a GM post for Gossamer but I may have missed it in the array of posts???

Unless I've missed stuff I need some IC or ooc from everyone to sort what happens next... Even Gemeaux needs to decide 'what next...'

Thanks!

I see that I also left out the bonus for smart link in the dice pool. OOC Post edited to add the +2 to the attack pools.

@Aria: Ah, oops, I thought you put that shot in there already. I'll get some rolls up ASAP. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Ok, no problem...definite overkill then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

Don't worry about rolling! You've got such an insane number of D that I'm quite willing for you to take out a stationary non combatant target without rolling!

What I need from you (and everyone else!) is what you do after that!

NSEDM was about to start his holiday and have more time for posting last we heard...I guess he's enjoying his holiday so much he's forgotten all about us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm still around, and keep meaning to post something up. It's hard to stay motivated in this thread with how rare we've been getting updates from NSEDM.

Also, I'm a bit distracted by a copy of the SR5 book a friend got me at Origins. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

LOL. What can I say? I'm excited about trying out the new system. They've certainly made some interesting changes. I've read through about half the book so far (intro, chargen, skills, combat) and I'm trying to get the rest read before my local group meets this Saturday.

I've started an excel charaacter generator just off the preview chapters lol!

I intend to start the 2074/5 thread once I've had a chance to read the new rules and digest them...hopefully sometime mid August to get things going...I won't worry about whether everyone has read the rules themselves, we can muddle through without that and I can send anyone that wants it the excel file so they shouldn't even need rules to do that (assuming I can make it fairly idiot proof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) )

If you get a chance, i'd love to take a look at what you've got for that excel sheet. I'm actually going to try starting up a Milk Run forum game next week or so to give people a little taste of the system in actual play before the book is officially released.

Have you got any new stories for SR5 or just continuing the current ones for now.

And talking of NSEDM's holiday, I find it amazing how frequently and easily I forget that I'm part of a game and then have to read through 2 pages of IC to catch up. Even though my posting hasn't been too irregular I still forget all the time. Today for example is the first time I've remembered to check this since the middle of last week. Not because I haven't had chance, just because I temporarily forgot it existed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

RP addict that I am, I check nearly every day lol...

CoP and Tribes will continue in 2074, just timeline bumped. I will start a new prime runner thread called Deep Rising which will pick up the pieces of the various other Emerging games I've done.

@Slacker (and anyone else!) PM me an email address and I'll send out the excel once it's a bit further along (but before qualities, skills etc get sorted so you can have a play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )...it's a butchered version of the one I use for SR4 so I'll leave most of the gubbins in there too, do with it as you will!

[Aria]

Apologies for the delay in responding to E:Tribes,

@RDMarquis:

Trace attempt [trace+computer vs. 10 (+4/proxy server)] – stealth per roll. Note you are in a resonance well (almost like a UV node for TMs experiencing it!!!) rt 2, which adds 2D to all rolls using resonance. The Disonant is at -2D!

The stealth is a little dubious – can you have stealth running and still be visible to people in the node? The quick view of the stealth program in SR4a didn’t exactly clarify it for me! Machine Ghost knows the matrix rules better than I do, got an opinion MG? I’m going to rule that (s)he isn’t hiding from you and has no stealth CF running…

It only being a matter of time you’ll find him/her quickly…more or less just outside the mall +/- 50m!

@Machine Ghost…that drone is vicious! 6 hits again, at least the ganger had a fighting chance of dodging and with the worsening weather you lost another visibility D. So, you have a captive [Ork teenager], if you can keep him long enough. The feed Cam sent you shows two hogs inbound, moving fairly cautiously rather than rushing in blind…feel free to IC their approach and let the others know.

Static is now 2 ECM but I suspect you can easily get past that, more for flavour than effect!


@E:CoP: I've not forgotten you, just working out where to send you next!
