Hm. Now that I look at it it doesn't say either way about rounding. I think the default canon rule for rounding is that you always round down unless specified otherwise, but that might be unconscous carry-over from that other game; certainly I don't see it in the book anywhere as of yet. It does specify, however, that new skills always cost exactly 1 karma, whether they are active, knowledge or language (p. 245), so that first rank's cost is 1 regardless, and the second is 1.5 * 2 = 3, as there is no rounding for that one, so the calculation stands. Buying a third and other odd-numbered ranks in active skills seems to be up in the air though. |

I have found that in Shadowrun you tend to round which ever way screws the player the most.

Round down when calculating karma costs for increasing skills. Round down when calculating drain. In all other circumstances round against the character (dice pools).

Sorry, must be brief -- like I said earlier, back in 14 or so hours (was 24, then).
Daedalus is searching for a phone number rather desperately. He'll find one based on the address. The telecom disruption isn't short-range local. (Trying to get a post up quickly on this.) Do see the new Star Wars. You won't be disappointed. |

After today (I've only got a couple of hours), I'm going to be off-line until Wednesday. After that, on-line access is going to be sporadic (every other day? every three or so days?) until mid-June.

Sedna: I am sure that we will all make the game work just fine. I hope that nothing particulary worrysome is going on in your life. Best wishes! Winterrat, ronin, and I will have to make sure that we present you with some posts that are worth reading when you are online :-P

paul, WinterRat, your time problems sourced in the Salvation thread:
A bit after that phone call in that same thread is the phone call with Squall at 16:47:12, from Blaze's apartment. After that he takes a short astral excursion, by way of rejuvenation. Take those three as a starting point. Next, from the main thread:
Erebus arrives at Caveman Kate's at 22:05:04. Max is punctual, he will be there at least ten minutes before. Revised timeline:
The dinner needs to be completed before nine-thirty. Unless it's contradicted by canon (anyone?), as of now Catapusan's Sushi Bar is less than a five minute drive away from Caveman Kate's :) That okay with everyone? |

Now that I've gotten that solved :grinbig:
It looks like ronin probably has things under control at the clinic (we'll do that outside the timeline of the other two); and that is the last small point I have planned for the immediate future. Virgil doesn't hear from Inleat. Dragon's about to hear from Tiffany. ronin: you won't be able to get hold of Vinnie today. There's something of an original meet set up for tonight, but you won't find him or what you're seeking. That's ooc knowledge soon to become ic knowledge as you three write it up. Beyond that, you're clear until mid-afternoon next day. Have a good supper. I promise there's no sniper waiting for you in the wings :) |

Yeah, I think the future role of "sniper bullet catcher" is already taken by someone else. :D
(Edit): Not that I *want* my char to be the target (especially as the most likely ending to that is Eyes's brains making a fan-pattern on the floor :( ) but that seems to be my particular plot thread's MO. so... |

nice solution.
hope Daedalus still gets to eat :D not to bring up that proverbial missile again but would you prefer to be the "sniper bullet catcher" or the "missile catcher" lots of pros and cons to each I'd say... well the "pros" are of a relative natures.. :P |

Yeah I'm going to slow down to about 1 or 2 posts (hopefully per storyline) per day; work's picking back up again so my ridiculous posting rate of the last week has to slow. :( But we'll all live. I will probably catch up tonight (unlikely) or tomorrow (much more likely), just fyi for everyone.

Slip,
I noticed that Scrapheap had already edited his post to remove the part about Max, so why don't you post before I have Twiggy respond, so I can hit both your comments at once? |

OK weather question. I have a light snow falling at about 11:30am on the 8th. At what time does it start getting to the point that traffic is severely affected and does it ever get to a white out. I need to know so I can be consistant in my posts.
Thanks, Slip |
