IMPORTANT UPDATE
Because I want this to be an ongoing game, not just a one-shot, I really want to get good backgrounds and everything. To encourage this, I'm going to be throwing bonuses at characters that are very fleshed out. It could be extra karma, it could be an upgrade to your gear, free contacts, etc. After I have the players picked out, you can all go about setting up background between yourselves as well, which will earn you more bonuses for more creativity. I'd also like to see a Team Karma Pool put together, but thats up to you guys. |

Will the 100 karma be done up with Karma Pool as per normal or no?
Alerting the guys: I'll be taking a lot of the Social Edges. Face-type and pretty good at combat, so be prepared to have heard of "Uncle Charlie" and done some business with him at least once. (He's 50. He gets around. :P) Ecclesiastes (you need an abbreviation, dammit!): How many points for a Flaw that represents only having one eye? I'd think -2, maybe -3 depending on the severity of the wound (flaring pain during a certain moon cycle, something like that). Running it by you first so as to not step on any shoes. |

Thank you, thank you, no autographs please. I'll be here all year. :biggrin: Now I just need to have a character who does it justice. |

Yeah, Karma Pool applies.
A lot of people just type Ecc:
Thats a big deal actually. Going by the SURGE trait of Cyclops, it is worth 4 points, cause you have a +2 TN for anything involving ranged combat. |

Yeah, I like putting the pressure on the people I've come to respect, cause then they have to try even harder. :) |

So -4? Fair enough. (I haven't looked at YotC, so that would be why I didn't know it.)
So a total of 11KP right off the bat, fair enough. Time to start typing... |

Opps! I totally screwed up. When I talked about trading karma for cash, I said it was 1 to 1000. Thats wrong. I wanted you to be able to trade it all in for 1 mil, so I left off a zero. It should be 1 karma for 10,000 nuyen.

But if we use the karma pool rules, than basically (assuming we're human characters) we only get 90 good karma and 10 karma pool, right? |

Bleh... I guess. I usually ditch that rule when I play table top and just let the karma pool go up for every 10 (or 20) points. I always thought that buying the point was lame. Screw it, you get the points for free, I always thought it was silly anyhow.
edit: I know this doesn't really work with NSRCG, but I'm sure you guys are smart enough to work around it. Just add 11 more to the program and erase the extra karma pool it gives you. Or whatever. Figure it out. |

I'm not so good at using NSRG and I often find it difficult to do what I want ... especially in the case of spending karma. I guess I just don't feel like spending the time to figuring it all out. Anyhow, do you mind if I send you a character sheet in .doc (Word) format?

Any format is fine.
Based on an email I just got I'll post an answer here so you guys have it. SURGE is ok by me and I don't make people pay 5 points to take it, cause they all balance out like edges and flaws anyways. |

FYI - I don't get much net time on the weekends (wives are like that). So don't expect many replies from me until I get back to work on Monday.

Fair enough. As I said, I'm completely non-existant around here on the weekends. In fact, I may be crashing soon here. Have to be up early to go somewhere that's an hour and a half away.
So, like I said, probably Tuesday. If I'm really, really lucky and don't have much homework from school stuff. |

Is this game full? If not, I might be interested in trying to work in a guy.

I have a question about the phobias: Is Fear of tight spaces (Clostrophobia) common or uncommon?
