I think Gypsy healed Rebo's wound. With 14 dice it should be no problem fixing 3 boxes of damage.

Just a concern I have for the future in-game: I want to know how many days are passing in-game as things go on. Learning my new Manaball (or Extra-Dimensional Pulse, in keeping with the psionic feel of the character) spell is going to take 6 days in-game, so I'd just like to keep track of how much time has passed.

Tarantula: In a game where the minimum requirement was 5 days a week, that's not worth any karma.
Hunter: Duly noted. |

FYI, this week ends the Intro to the game. As stated before, you're still only in the intro, so I won't go killing anyone off yet... :P
Friday, will be my last posts in these threads, I'll be opening a new thread for Part 1 - Wyrm Food. It won't be quite as hellacious as this Intro has been. There'll be lots to do, but not so horror-driven, where every post seems to exist for the sole purpose of scaring you out of your rutheniums. Some of you may recall 2nd Editions Team Karma Pool. I'm offering a starting Team Karma Pool to the team if you can write up the Intro (wait til the Intro is completed), in a story format. I realize that may take alot of time, but I'll make it worth your while. Of course, seeing that I only have a couple of people on the team who seem to have the limitless time that would require, I don't expect it to be a novel. :P I would like ES_Sparky's influence on the story though, as her storytelling has been 2nd to none. Anyhows, I'll grade the story on a scale of 1 to 10, and that grade will be the starting Team Karma Pool for the group. :) |

Gypsy is feeling ambitious, but what he's trying should be doable. :eek: :D

Team Karma is a karma pool for re-rolls and the like. To use it; the team has to agree with its usage. Example could be that they want to make sure Gypsy's Spell gets the maximum amount of success and allocate 3 of the 7 dice towards it. At the end of every "story" it refreshes. This helps alot in tough scenarios (which you will encounter in my games), when your own Karma Pool of 1 or 2 just doesn't cut it.

Neat, but even I don't have the time it would take to transform 200+ posts into story format.

I think sparky would love the opportunity, I just don't know if she'll have the time to. I'll see if I can't push her into doing it.

What sort of format are you thinking, Sphynx? Or are you going to leave that to us to figure out - and if so - Team: What sort of style do you want to write it in? I can probably write something, narrative without having to worry about mechanics won't be too hard.
And when, after the intro is completed, do you want the finished product? And is anybody else bitterly disappointed in an exceedingly selfish way that James/toptomcat fell to his death with that fabulous bow? *cries* |

Format is of your own choosing. I'll probably cut and paste it into the CHAR thread anyhows, or you can put it straight there if you like. Once I get my website back up I'll store it online for perusal there. Any format at all is ok that way. When do I want it by? I have no deadline. When I get it, Team Karma is created, so I guess the question is how fast you want the Team Karma. :P I'm not even going to be upset if it's never done, but I learned awhile back that giving award for writing the story has always proved to be beneficial for the story, both in characters seeing themselves portrayed without OOC stuffs, and in the award itself.

Hey Sphynx, is there any way I could get you to keep putting the karma rewards on the Charcter post? Keeps things in contunity for us really unorgnized people.
Actually Its fitting that James just died. No heroics, just splat. Kinda bitterly anti-climatic. |

So does Good Karma/adding to personal Karma Pools every 20 (or 10) GK points work the same way? |

oh yeah, I'll let you know how much Horror Lore I buy when I get to my books to check cost. Probably 2 or 3 points. Is 3 too much?

Also - guys - for the write up - do you want it to be 3rd person, 1st person from one perspective, 1st person from multiple perspectives...? What do we want to shoot for?

Actually, some of my favorite Shadowrun stories (like 2XS and some of the stories in the sourcebooks) are ones that have been first-person limited (one person only).
Only question is how that could be accomplished when writing about the occasions when the team split up. One person can't be in two places at once, so not everything would be recorded. |

I think 3rd person omniscent would be best for this purpose. ES, I'd be happy to help out. I'm a better editor than a writer, although I'm not so bad at the latter, either. I'd love to try my hand at novelizing the intro, but I'm not going to have the time to just sit down and write until early next week (and we've already got somebody doing it).
