Recruitment: In Heaven and Earth, Followup to Vein of Truth Options

[TinkerGnome]

From that level. Going from 1 to 2 is TN 6. Going from 2 to 3 is TN 10. It takes one month.

You can't buy contacts with cash after the "seasoning" phase, by the way. You have to either meet them in-game and develop a relationship with them or use downtime.

[last_of_the_grea...]

Allright, my updated character sheet and background has been sent in. *Crosses his fingers*

[Panzergeist]

Tinker, I sent you the updates to my character via PM. Do you want me to send them via e-mail as well?

[TinkerGnome]

Yes, if you want to combine it into one email, you can also do the summary in the same email. I do need the summary, though. It'll save me lots of headaches later on.

[TinkerGnome]

Okay, I need those emails before the end of the day today. These are the ones I've gotten so far:

• Paul_Harkonen -- Shade (stealth/B&E, adept, probably human give the concept)
• FXcalibur -- Marionette (lion shaman, dwarf)
• Misfit Toy -- Belfast (Belfast, human)
• Shadow -- Blaze (Wyrm shaman, ork)
• Chance359 -- Sedryk (Sedryk, ork)
• last_of_the_great_mikeys -- Brick (muscle, ork)
• WinterRat1 -- Mako (shark shamanist, human)
• RangerJoe -- Gritz (combat decker, ork)

Eight people so far (plus Panzer and Beast who haven't sent me emails yet but I know want in). If there aren't enough completed characters for two games, I'll be running the Mafia game and the other at a later date. All of that will get ironed out completely on Friday.

If you don't send me a character concept email today, never fear. You're not forbidden from playing. Get me a character by Friday and you're in. The only catch is that you won't get to pick the game you end up in.

Too many awakened...Tempted to use Evans again.

[TinkerGnome]

Go with what you want to play. I'm not capping the number of awakened in either game, though. Just expect the threats to be scaled accordingly.

[WinterRat1]

Sorry, Mako is a human. And is that the order you rolled or just what you have so far?

[TinkerGnome]

Rolls will be done late tonight or first thing tomorrow. Those are just the entries I have with concepts so far.

[JaronK]

An updated Paris should be in your mailbox, Tinker.

JaronK

[Misfit Toy]

With so many magicians being submitted, will you consider allowing spells from "respectable" web sources like the Hoosier Hacker House or Blackjack's Pages? I just thought it might add a little more variety into the mix. :)

[tisoz]

I notice T:AL isn't on the books list, so are you allowing channeling?

[Panzergeist]

I felt cheated when that battle against all the spirits ended before they could attack me. I can't wait to try Swift Eagle against this powerful spirit you hinted at. That is what I bought a weapon focus for, after all.

[TinkerGnome]

Yeah, I just picked up T:AL last week. I'll add it to the main list.

I got really sick last night and took a big dose of Hybernol (aka, NyQuil) so I'm still fuzzy. I'll be posting a "finalized" list of concepts and the "game choosing initiative" in the next hour or so.

I don't like web sources, as a rule, but if you can make the spell through the normal design rules and run it past me (and spend the research time to make your own formulae), you can probably have it.

[TinkerGnome]

Current list of characters:

• JaronK -- Paris (Paris) -- 14
• FXcalibur -- Marionette (lion shaman, dwarf) -- 12
• WinterRat1 -- Mako (shark shamanist, human) -- 13
• Shadow -- Blaze (Wyrm shaman, ork) -- 11
• Digital Heroin -- Johnny Jett (decker) -- 10
• Paul_Harkonen -- Shade (stealth/B&E, adept, probably human give the concept) -- 9
• ??? -- Drake (mage of some sort) -- 9
• Misfit Toy -- Belfast (Belfast, human) -- 8
• last_of_the_great_mikeys -- Brick (muscle, ork) -- 8
• Beast -- Thor (Thor) -- 6
• RangerJoe -- Gritz (combat decker, ork) -- 5
• Panzergeist -- Swift Eagle (Swift Eagle) -- 5
• Chance359 -- Sedryk (Sedryk, ork) -- 3

Alright, that's 13 players. Go ahead and make your choices. Remember, you can choose one of three things:

• Pick a game
• Pick a player with a lower roll (this ensures that you end up in a game with a player you want to play with)
• Decide to let me stick you into whichever game at the end

Again, the two games are:

• In Heaven and Earth: A Mafia hit on the Yakuza's most deadly weapon
• Public Exposure: A counterterrorism effort in Downtown Seattle

[Misfit Toy]

Although my choice won't probably be my choice since I'm so low down on the list (stupid "picking the most appropriate contact level" methodology), I'm going to futilely put my vote on In Heaven and Earth just because I adore games dealing with the mob.

[FXcalibur]

Edit: on second thought, heaven and earth. Looks like all the old players are heading there, so...

[Chance359]

In heaven and earth

[Beast of Revolut...]

Put me with Panzergeist.

[WinterRat1]

I select In Heaven and Earth. I'm a hitman. At last, a chance to actually hit someone! :vegm:

Characters due at 4pm ET Friday, July 9 (tomorrow), correct?

[Panzergeist]

I guess I'll go with In Heaven and Earth.

[Digital Heroin]

Seems the tides are going towards H&E, which suits me fine since PE was what I was looking for. Downtown = Decker's Paradise

[JaronK]

Gonna have to go for Heaven and Earth here.

[RangerJoe]

Looks like I'm getting into Public Exposure-- unless that would be decker overload.

[TinkerGnome]

So far the players for Heaven and Earth:

• JaronK -- Paris (Paris) -- 14
• WinterRat1 -- Mako (shark shamanist, human) -- 13
• FXcalibur -- Marionette (lion shaman, dwarf) -- 12

So far the players for Public Exposure:

• Digital Heroin -- Johnny Jett (decker) -- 10

So far players which haven't voiced a preference or have but are too far down the list to get their choice yet:

• Shadow -- Blaze (Wyrm shaman, ork) -- 11
• ??? -- Drake (mage of some sort) -- 9
• Paul_Harkonen -- Shade (stealth/B&E, adept, probably human give the concept) -- 9
• Misfit Toy -- Belfast (Belfast, human) -- 8
• last_of_the_great_mikeys -- Brick (muscle, ork) -- 8
• Beast -- Thor (Thor) -- 6
• RangerJoe -- Gritz (combat decker, ork) -- 5
• Panzergeist -- Swift Eagle (Swift Eagle) -- 5
• Chance359 -- Sedryk (Sedryk, ork) -- 3

Anyone who hasn't picked yet needs to do so before tomorrow afternoon. I also need character sheets from everyone by tomorrow.
