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* |

No reason we can't look for it once we get out of the cavern. ;)

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).

Do we really hear birds (or what sounds like birds)?

Too small for the drones??? The 'little bird' drones fit in your hand, if a person fits, they fit. Everything else except the Artys (as hernandos are parts now) are the size of a toy helicopter, so maybe 2/3mx1mx1/2m not much bigger than person if we're handing them through, and the artys being a mini-blimp aren't all that big either. (Well, you can deflate the balloon and reinflate it later)

It may be too small for a couple of drones, but you're a rigger. Means you can do cool things like gain enough speed, fold the rotos last-second, slide through; and unfold/fly by using Captain Chair mode. That's why Riggers are so cool. Show Dogma IC that he's wrong, don't tell him OOC. :P

Gypsy is currently sustaining 8 (eight!!!) spells! He wasn't actually volunteering to do recon as much as trying to get everyone moving so he can drop the spells. :D

I'd say you can probably drop the Oxygenate spells at this point. You kept everyone peachy while the dust was at it's worst, and hopefully we'll be getting out into the open soon. Everyone have their blankets handy?

Does everyone even have blankets? :eek:
Sphynx said that the breeze from the opening is keeping the dust circulating. That's why Gypsy kept/is keeping the spells up. He'll be dropping the one on Jack when he reaches the surface though. :P Oh, and you might want to change it to Sleel's drones. ;) |

Toy helicopters? Don't these things have machine guns and stuff? I'm pretty sure you need at least a 1 meter by 1 meter frame or something.
Fortune, thats waht you get for nodding at me. Next time try to be more explicit :grinbig: ;) |

Back, no, you don't, a toaster sized drone can get a machinegun mounted on it. Sure, its basically an ammobox on wheels, but you can do it.
