[OOC] Panzerknacker Options

[Volker]

okay ... if you're fine!

[Volker]

Do we receive (and spend) our money in Europe?

Also, Jack, I guess your oncoming run will suit the moral codex of both bnc and the soulless grim reaper Slobbertooth's gonna play?

EDIT:

Also, what costs other than new gear do we have to pay? The flight and the new SIN comes from Gerhardt IIRC. I assume that we will have to pay lifestyle costs as normal.
Is there anything else I forget?
If I get new augmentations, operation costs are already included in the list price, aren't they?

[Jack_Spade]

You receive the money once you meet up with Mike at the airport.

That is correct: Flight and SIN are part of your pay. Livestyle you'll have to find in Europe for the coming three months. Augmentations are always including the operation.

As for the coming run: Let yourself be surprised.

[Volker]

Okay, thanks, that's good.

@gilga

I think we should agree on a common lifestyle. If nothing else, on an OoC basis it's fairer if we both subtract the same amount of money from our incomes.
After this heist, I believe, high is suiteable. Not only because it is comfortable and our characters would like to spend their lives in a nice way, but it also offers an amount of protection we are going to need with all the money we earned. Anything lower, we'd be assaultet like nothing.
Can we agree on high lifestyle?
Maybe I'll customize it a bit. I think it was Prime Runners where you can tweak your lifestyle, isn't it?

@Jack

I'm changing deck, as you know. Two questions:
a) Can i simply transfer the programs running on one deck to the other? I think that shouldn't be a problem, I guess.
b) Can my old deck be used without implanting it? Yael would purchase it from bnc for 100,000 and use it as an ordinary deck. I guess, this, too, would work, but I'd like to have your okay on that.

[Jack_Spade]

You can swap the programs with no problem.

You also can use the un-implanted deck - it just doesn't look like a normal deck (has no display or physial buttons and is shaped like horse shoe)


@all

If it's ok with you I'll remove Krestov and Slobber from active play by making them miss their flight. That should provide us with a new start in Europe.

[SquirrelDude]

Unless the run immediately starts upon arrival in Europe, Slob could reasonably land and then get on a bus/train towards the coast.

Will be a few days before I have the new char. done. I am away from my PC for the next few days.

[Volker]

Rad! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

About Krestov, I don't know. It's okay for me, anyway, though it doesn't fit, really, as Krestov's usually very, very reliable. And also with the group.
Slobbertooth said he would quit anyway, so, as he said, unless it's necessary, I would just let him split on his own. And, if that's possible, I'd do the same with Special K. He never enjoyed Running anyway.

[Gilga]

I think that they can just take a different flight or just disappear after arrival, go to their personal affairs. Perhaps Krestov would go to his own country or something?

[Jack_Spade]

I thought more something like getting delayed at customs for being goblinized while travelling.
Krestov is reliable, but he wouldn't risk leading anyone to bnc and Anna if he suspected he was followed...

[Gilga]

About lifestyle, I kind of envision Yael trying to get into university again. Which means a student lifestyle, perhaps with a new roommate. Sure the money can be stolen (but perhaps this is how we explain how Yael lost so much money and has so much more karma). She's also going to have more spells, higher attributes/skills so she dedicated most of her time to physical exercise and magical studies. Perhaps, she and bnc do not even talk much until the next run where bnc calls in a favor and Yael remembers that at the end of the day, she needs the risk to feel alive.

[SquirrelDude]

Nice idea on the artwork. I'll have to ask Obidancer - he has made some really great character art work for some of the other games I participate in.

Only problem is that he is usually pretty busy with his day job.

Did you ask/get a response on this?

I didn't forget, I've just been preoccupied.

[Jack_Spade]

I actually forgot. I rectified that now.

[Volker]

Oh shit, yeah, right! I'll take care of that asap!! I have difficulties, tbh, to come up with something, but ideas are taking shape. Sorry this takes so long, I'm not neglecting it (well, maybe a tad).

Something else: A friend is going to be part of our group soon. His character is someone from bnc's past. ATM, he has difficulties creating an account because the captchas don't work. I gave him the login data of SgtBoomCloud's account, as he is inactive anyway. So, don't be confused, if he writes.

[SgtBoomCloud]

Hoi, Chummers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

To clarify: As Volker said, I am NOT SgtBoomCloud. Volker kindly gave me access to this as a dummy-account, while I can get the admins to help me get an actual account. The captchas are currently not working, therefore no registration.

Volker, Jack_Spade and Gilga know me as Luckace, I did my very first shadowrun with them.

Anyways: I heard you were starting a new run and are up for recruiting new blood? If so -> I'd like to to throw my hat in for that!

I offer a character who actually did a run together with bnc (but since I'll rewamp him anyways, the part together with her could theoretically be cut out, if that's a problem), he is a mage (all-rounder, I think mostly manipulation, detection and a little bit of combat; there wouldn't be much overlapping with Yael's skillset) from Austria and can also work as a (supportive) face.

Bears two major questions:
1) Everyone ok with me kinda "intruding" in your OOC-thread (I couldn't find a "recruiting"-thread)? Will there be an official recruiting-process for possible newcomers, where I shall post anew?
2) What requirements - IC and OOC? Any reglementations for the chacacter, how often are we posting, ...?

[Gilga]

Welcome abroad.

[Jack_Spade]

Yeah, great to have you once more on the team.

As for posting: Post often so the story can go on. At least once a day would be great if you are within an active sequence where we depend on your reactions.
You can pick your style as long as you are consistent. I prefer the scheme: red: talk, green: electronic, blue: mental

As for recruiting: I'll be setting up a post some time this weekend. I already got a request in the shadowruntabletop forum, so we might actually get a good sized crew together.
You playing an old acquaintance of bnc is great - makes it much easier to pull you into the story.

[Volker]

Welcome abroad.

That's actually a matter of perspective. From his point of view, you are from abroad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

In generally, I allow any kind of generation method.
Considering that there will be a pretty big Karma and Nuyen difference, I'd like to give you two options:
You can use Prime Runner generation (Sumto14 with 18 AVA) or you can make a normal Character and enjoy 60 bonus Karma.

Oh and by the way: Since you have a very generous money package: You can freely convert Money to Karma at 2000 Nuyen per point

I assume that counts for luck4ce, too, doesn't it?

Also... Maybe it could be wise to talk to me first. Knowing bnc doesn't necessarily makes having contact with bnc easier ^^
She has no intention at all to go back to Linz or make contact with Kerstin or Dmeyk. As Wraph (or how is he spelled?) is and/or was associated with bnc's sister, it might actually prove a difficulty.

[Jack_Spade]

I assumed you two already hashed that out between yourselves. But don't worry either way, I think I have a pretty solid hook to get bnc into this run...

[SgtBoomCloud]

All right, prime runner sounds good. I'll stick with that, then.
I'm currently reworking his stats and background, fully fleshing him out might take me a couple of days. He's a Christian Theurgist, so I'm currently searching the bible for miracles that can be expressed via shadowrun spells. (just classic stuff you do on a Thursday night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ).

Looking forward to running with you guys again!

[Volker]

To be honest, we didn't discuss anything of that, as we don't know what your plan is.

EDIT:
How much time do we have? Can we roleplay our arrival in Munich? Do we have time for implantations and stuff?

[Jack_Spade]

You have roughly one month in Munich and the ADL

[SquirrelDude]

Was Karma rewarded for the job, btw? I want to get Slob updated before I put him on ice.

[Jack_Spade]

I don't know if you asigned the Karma that I awarded between chapters, but all in all this run should have given you all about 50 Karma + whatever you convert from your money into Karma.

[Volker]

I think he was referring to the last part of the campaign.

One month is not a lot...
In that case, I won't spend all of the money I intented to, but will make a list of what she will purchase immediately and what she will be planning after a month. I'll send it to you, both.
