What: A city based shadowrun which might involve wetwork. When: December 20, 2061 Where: Based in Seattle, mostly Tacoma Why: Because someone has made someone very angry W-how: Slightly seasoned runners looking for some cred, with no problems working for the Mafia against the Yakuza. Okay, so I'm being vague. You expect that from me by now. You can bring a character forward from Vein of Truth if you wish, or you can generate a new one. Players who were part of Vein but are making new characters get an additional 50,000 :nuyen: to spend as they wish on their new character during the "seasoning" phase of character creation (yes, you can buy karma with it). Anyway, what are the character generation rules? Glad you asked. They're a lot like the rules for Vein (well, they're the exact same, really).
[NEW] I need an email from everyone this Wednesday, July 7th, (to tinkergnome@comcast.net) that includes the following:

Consider Belfast's (a human wujen-variant druid with an emphasis on conjuring) hat tossed in the ring. I'll try and get him upgraded and send to you as soon as I can.

Paris/Raven would be up for it. I'll make the necessary modifications. Would Electronics (not B/R) or Negotiations (he has a history working as an accountant and freelance corporate advisor) count as a marketable skill?
Also, considering he actually is a weapons expert type (Sniper Rifle B/R 4, Gunsmithing 4), could I make him a custom sniper rifle if he also got a gunsmithing shop to make it in? I've been seeing him as slowly upgrading his housing facilities over time, and hiding a "buisiness related" shop in the back. JaronK |

Can I anticipate Hellcows skills will be more apllicable to this campaign? Even if not, i'm in. I can always buy the appropriate chips.

Well, how the game actualy plays out will depend on how the group tries to do it. This game is more player driven than Vein. It being city based, social skills are more important, though.

Swift Eagle is in. Wow, I didn't realize until just now that the Vein of truth run took place before the year of the comet. Natural orichalcum isn't known to exist in 2061. This information could be extremely valuable. :vegm:

I'd like to toss in a B&E assasin adept.
one question, well two actually, should we read up on Vein of Truth before we begin this game, or should can we just join? Second, all Karma for "seasoning will be bought out of the 500,000 right? whatever the answer i'd like to join in. |

Thor will be submitted for this game. But first, I have to decide what to do with that hundred grand. Perhaps a cropdusting drone loaded with cyanide gas? Dare I dream?

I have a yet-to-be-named ork pitfighter that I'd like to try. Question: do you allow genetech? I'll have to alter the guy a little if no. (He had Calcitonin treatment)

You knew about 30 days before it became common knowledge, actually. YotC's first confirmation of the stuff is 11-27-61. I'd wager a few corps knew about it about 5-10 days after you guys did.
If you really want to you can, but they won't be linked in any way.
Yep. It's a simple way of stating that you get some combination of karma and nuyen.
After chargen in the "seasoning" phase, yes. Subject to SI and normal availability requirements.
I'll be capping the game at a number of players I haven't decided on yet. Existing characters will be given some measure of preference, but if they're not as suitable for the run as a new character, I'm not going to guarantee they will win out. |

I have this idea for a Giant street samurai. I'll send it to you when it's competed.

Someone should make a gnome street samurai, that would rock.

Oh, Tinker, do you allow buying edges for Karma? If so, what does it cost?

Ok... now the challenge I face is to create a character that'll be intriguing enough that I have a hope of having a spot... something new enough to allow for expansion, and something fitting... Berk, my ex-ganger bullyboy turned shadowrunner, was a concept that never really saw fruition.... perhaps he might work...
Edit: And on second thought, I have a decker I've never got the chance to flesh out fully that might be fun too... oh the agony of chosing... This post has been edited by Digital Heroin: Jul 4 2004, 07:06 AM |

OK I'll toss in an old character remade for this one. A sniper hitman (since we might actually do wetwork, this concept might actually be able to use its abilities) :). Undetermined yet if they'll be a mundane or magical.
Question. Does the allowed availability of 20 and no rating cap apply to stuff purchased during creation as well as the seasoning part, or only for the seasoning part? |

Only the seasoning part, and it's subject to SI.

Hmm... I'll work on a magically active character on during the 4th, and possibly have it in on the 4th or 5th, if I can flesh it out to my satisfaction in time.

When I was having fun playing him, it seemed I was causing problems. It wasn't much fun playing him halfway. :( |

That depends about 100% on what the edge is. Some are yes, most are no. If you didn't get it through RP, it's 10 karma per point of edge. If you manage to work it into the RP the cost goes down to 5 karma per point of edge. The same applies for buying off flaws (ie, create a good reason for the flaw going away IC and you only pay 5 karma per point to get rid of it).
Like tisoz said. The raised avail, etc, is just for stuff bought with SI attached.
I'm honestly not looking forward to character selection in this one. There's a chance that I might simply spawn a second game related to Vein a little more closely (it's a counterterrorism effort surrounding a convention) if the number of quality submissions exceeds the 1 game cap (I'm thinking 8 players). |

Can we use any of our cash to secure contacts? If so, at what costs? Same as during character creation?

First post. BtW, I didn't thought Belfast was going to ditch Fredrick as a fixer for sending you out with incompetants? |

Always in the last place one would look...
In any case, Bel most likely will if the trend continues. It wasn't a thought bubble cemented in stone, and considering Skeeter pretty much was non-existant through the actual run and did nothing to risk his life or the success of the mission, chances are he got over it pretty quickly. But if Frederick does continue putting together similar groups, he will in all likelihood split and find someone else to work with. |
