I had a passable version of Cos worked out a couple of months ago but of course I'll want to change everything once I take another look at her sheet. ;) |

Not too bad. Karma helps, as does not having to deal with cyber/bioware. I feel for those having to convert the more chromed and genetically enhanced characters out here.
Rock on! :D |

You...have...no...idea. I lost track of how many versions, and hours, I spent on this conversion. Argh! I'm sending the best I can come up with to Sedna this weekend and waiting for her input before sinking anymore into this. Man, stupid cyber/bio... :(
Nothing yet. I'm going to give her another week or two, we'll see if we've heard anything by then and go from there. |

Important Announcement
OK Everyone, I realize it’s only been about a week and a half since ‘The State of the LITS-verse’, but it has been pointed out to me that there has been little in terms of concrete announcements or progress since then. Indeed, it has been about a 2-month rut with very little activity, posting, or progress on just about everyone’s part. As we all know from high school physics, in the absence of outside intervention, objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest. Well LITS has been at rest for a while now, and it’s time for outside intervention to get it moving again. First, I would like to personally apologize to everyone, GMs and Players alike, for the practical shutdown of LITS. With Sedna’s absence, almost half of LITS was directly or indirectly affected. I kept waiting and waiting for her return, thinking to myself, ‘She’ll come back, her return will make a splash, and everything will be ok again’ instead of preparing to move on in case her return was delayed beyond her control. As it turns out, that’s exactly what happened, and although she will be returning eventually, there is no set timetable. She has a lot to deal with and as we all know, real life rarely goes according to plan. As Universe Coordinator, it was and is my responsibility to decide when to press onward and get the ball rolling again when things get bogged down for any reason; because Sedna is one of the most integral parts to the LITS world, I waited longer than was healthy for the game as a whole. That was my decision to make, and it was the wrong one. I do not think blame can be assigned in this situation. Sedna believed she would be back by now and no one could’ve known she wouldn’t be. However, the responsibility for making a mistaken judgment call as to when to move forward has to go somewhere, and that goes on me, and just me. I apologize to all of you for my error in judgment and thank you for your patience. Therefore, over the next week and a half, the GM staff will be making the necessary adjustments to keep LITS healthy and vibrant. I have already sent a 9-page email to all the GMs earlier tonight addressing everything we need to do to get back on track and flying forward once again. We will be reallocating players to GMs in order to get the action moving again and open up storylines that have been in stasis, as well as working towards our long delayed Recruitment Drive. By Sunday, Feb. 19 (and hopefully much earlier than that) you will have been in touch with your new GM, and if you aren’t already posting by then, you’ll at least be in the process of working with them to get a handle on one another and be ready to move forward. I want to thank everyone for his or her contributions to LITS over the past year and a half, we would not be here without each and every one of you. Thank you all for your patience during this slow time, and an extra thank you to all the players and GMs who’ve kept up their posting even during this drought. I’m looking forward to getting the ball rolling again to the pace we’re all used to and gaming with everyone on a regular basis once more. If anyone still has any questions, thoughts or concerns, please PM me and I will attempt to respond as best as I can. All the best to everyone, WinterRat1 |

Important Announcement
OK Everyone, I promised that the GM staff would move fast, but they've managed to exceed expectations. I have the following announcements to make, as always please PM or email me if you have any questions. 1. Effective immediately, Sedna will be Temporarily Inactive as a GM and Player, until such time as she is able to sort things out in RL and rejoin us. The timetable for this is currently undefined. 2. Also effective immediately, per his request, until further notice, Shadow will be stepping down as a Run GM and Player and joining the inactive list. 3. Bclements will be taking over A Short Victorious War as the new Run GM for that game. 4. Players have been reallocated as follows below. The current roster of Player GMs and players: WinterRat1 -Scrapheap -Slipshade -The Eyes Grendel -Morgannah -BClements -WinterRat1 -BanditF50 -TiredRonin Bandit -Cedric -Shadowrunner13 -Bastard Bclements -Grendel Scrapheap -Mister Juan If you have been reassigned, please report in to your new GM immediately via PM and touch base with them. Make sure they have a copy of your character sheet, both SR 3 and SR 4, as well as any relevant background notes or details. GMs, please begin posting for your new players as soon as you are able. As of now, the game is back on at full speed ahead, so if you're ready to post, player or GM, go for it! 5. All players whose SR 4 character sheets have already been approved by your GM (previous or new one), please send me a complete copy of your character sheet. This includes your background, timeline, 20 questions, and SR 4 character sheet. This takes the place of the character audit earlier and will go on file as your 'official' character sheet. If you have not completed your conversion yet for whatever reason, please get in touch with your new GM ASAP and work on completing it as soon as possible. 6. New Player Recruitment will probably be up sometime next week, so we'll be getting an influx of recruits over the next month or two. Before we get swamped with all the new SR 4 characters, we'd like to make sure all the current ones are good to go, so please, GMs, get after your players and let's get this conversion wrapped up. 7. Karma will be totaled up over the next week or two. For players whose GM is now inactive or has not posted karma for a while, I will assign you karma to ensure that all records are up to date as quickly as possible. After that is done, I will email/PM everyone their total karma to date, so please be sure your individual records are up to date in the next week or two to check my accounting. All right that covers it for now. LITS is back up and running again, so let's all get back in the swing of things and have some fun. Welcome back everyone! :) |

OK, getting back in the groove here.
Scrap and Slip - You're free to respond. Eyes - I'll get yours up in the next day or two. Just to let you guys know, I'm in the middle of working on the Recruitment and updated Guidelines with BC, so if I'm a bit touch and go for the next week or two, that's why. I'll try to have a reply to you guys up at least once every couple days, at least until the Recruitment and Guidelines stuff is done. Look for me to become more consistent after that. And oh yeah, tax season is in full go right now, so if I don't reply for a few days, that's why. But rest assured I'm back and getting back in the swing of things. Oh, and I'll get to karma catch-up eventually (so don't worry, you won't get cheated! :) ), but given how none of you has time to spend it at the moment, that's pretty low on my priority list right now. |

Slip and Scrap - We are using 4th edition rules for Max and John, so post all game-related stuff in the 4th edition OOC thread. I will still be using this OOC thread for announcements and general stuff until the conversion is complete for all current characters and we shut this one down.
EDIT: Good question Slip. EDIT 2: Slip – To save me time looking, would you mind telling me what the material links you gathered for Nora and Keira were? |

Hair samples for both, plus a couple of personal items that were important to them, though I don't off hand remember what those were. Keira had a dress that was her favorite that Max grabbed. Scrap would know more about what he had for Nora. I know he grabbered her hair brush, so Max has some hair samples for her as well.

WR/Slip- I don't remember, but I'll find it and get back to you.
Edit: It looks like a favorite shirt, and some "other small items" that I didn't identify at the time. If I remember correctly, Max had suggested a hair brush and similar items, as well as things with an emotional connection. |

Update:
Slip - Thought I posted this somewhere but I checked and realized I did not. Would you please post a description of your ritual magic area and its setup? It doesn't have to be elaborate or detailed, just enough to give me a picture of what it looks like so Silverbird can act appropriately. Thanks! Scrap - Waiting on a reply from the guest poster running the South American guy. Eyes - Haven't forgotten you, I'll get to you sometime this weekend. I admit as well, part of it is because now I'm the one having a hard time coming up with a response! :) Dragon - See ASVW Everyone - Recruitment thread and Guidelines for SR 4 are coming along well, it looks like we'll be able to have them up early next week *crosses fingers*. If not then definitely late next week/beginning of week after. So us GMs are working over here, just fyi! |

Greetings Scapheap! I will be the mysterious guest-poster playing the witty Samwell. I look forward to getting a chance to roleplay with you. . . as well as bring back an NPC who has made colorful appearences in many tabletop games that I have participated in :-P
What languagaes do both Blaze and Scapheap speak? Samwell commonly shifts between one or more different languagues spoken throughout South America, with the right skill you might be able to glean some information about his background. Glad to be a part of this :) |

All games related to me - It's been a busy week (as always during tax season). I will reply to everyone either tonight or tomorrow, with sunday at the absolute latest. Right now I see the following waiting on me or in need of a post:
-Scrapheap and Bandit -Slipshade -Eyes -ASVW (are you waiting on me BC or are we waiting on you?) Either way, it looks like I could post, so I will endeavor to do so. If I missed you or you're waiting for something else from me other than a post right now, let me know and I'll add you to the list. Thanks! |

OK, we have a problem here Slip. I went through the magic chapter several times, and they don't have rules for ritual tracking using magical links! I'm a bit at a loss here, because the range for the detection spell Detect Individual is crap.
And unlike in SR 3, the range for detection spells is not increased through the use of ritual sorcery, at least in the SR 4 main rulebook. And yeah, that's stupid, but without that extended range (which was X100 I believe), take my word for it, Force X Magic X 10 isn't getting you anywhere. The only possibility I see is IF Detect Individual can be cast on a astral form, and then that form could zip around looking for the person. And I don't even know if that's legal. Grendel, is that a legitimate possiblity? If it is, we may be able to run with it. If not, I'll try to cobble together an equivalent rule system using ritual tracking with material links for now. In the meantime, Slip, feel free to respond to the fact that Max doesn't know the spell that Silverbird expected him to know and thought they were using. ;) |
