Peace Sells...But Who's Buying, ooc for the bastard campaign Options

[Bastard]

This will mainly be our OOC for between games, but I will give you your intros here, so you are ready come game time.


INTRO FOR JACK WIRED (AKU)

[ Spoiler ]

Finding Hogo Akabashi's parents dead a day after you started your last run, brought a quick end to that job. You thought you had earned some quick cash, but you find that Hogo already paid Steven who disappeared with the nuyen.

A little background work and you find that Steven brought Hogo to his parents, and after they were disposed of at the hands of the vengeful troll, he paid your ex-partner and fled, probably out of the country. Steven's whereabouts are unknown at this time, as well.

Now Jaxx has positioned you with another team. The meet is at the Red Light Lounge at 2000 hours, under the name I.B. Green. The Johnson should arrive at 2030. He assured you this time, that he did a thorough background check.

INTRO FOR RASCAL (KACKLING KACTUAR)

[ Spoiler ]

Its Tuesday night, cold and rainy, like every other night in Seattle. You are going through your regular routine, well what may become a regular routine, getting ready for your first real run. Usually you would be mindfragging some street punks, but tonight you'll do it for money.

Earlier this afternoon, a fixer, Jaxx called with an offer. He has arranged the meet for a backroom under the name I.B. Green, at the Red Light Lounge, where you will meet with the team at 2000. Mr. Johnson is scheduled to arrive at 2030

INTRO FOR DIGITAL-KITSUNE (FOXX)

[ Spoiler ]

Another rainy night in the sprawl, and you are on the prowl. Whether its business or pleasure, the shadows is where you are at your best, always flying by the seat of your pants. You smile at a pedestrian at stop light. He, in turn, blushes and looks away nervously. He's cute, but unlucky for him, tonight its business, and its almost time for your meet with your new team.

Your fixer, Jaxx, has arranged the meet for 2000 at the Red Light Lounge under the name I.B. Green. There you will meet up with a team of freelancers, who are also in need of work, at least you assume. Mr. Johnson will arrive at 2030 with the job offer.

[Aku]

FYI just talked to him on yahoo, and da bastard's running late...

[scoundrel]

Eh?

[Foxx]

How late is he going to be?

[Aku]

he didnt particularly say...

apparently his GF's ride home bailed on her, and he, doing the BF thing to do, went and saved her...

edit if you want to get ahold of me...

[scoundrel]

I just talked to Bastard, and he's looking for someone to rotate GMing duty with him. The two games won't be run simultaneously - once one run/campaign under one GM wraps up, the other begins, and so on. I might be up to the task, but it'll depend on whether or not you guys are interested. So what do you say? Second game: yes/no?

Or do any of you want to step up to the plate instead? :)

[Foxx]

I don't have a problem with it.

[Aku]

i might be able to do it too, though i'll let Bastard aid in that, as he's in my current pbp game, and I think it's going kind of weakly, but then, i'm always hyper crticial of my own works lol

[scoundrel]

Kick ass.

Okay, so what do we know about the job so far? IIRC, the Omega is a DNI-Accelerator whipped up by a bunch of college kids, and the project is sponsored by a corporation called Tomorrow. Is there anything else that you guys found out?

[Aku]

That, plus it supposedly (as its name implies) speeds up the nueral connection to the deck. The corps are claiming that it's been burning up the decks, but that doesnt seem right to me, if anything, i'd imagine (both IC and oocly) that it's prolly frying the decker's themselves, but since those are an expendable resource, the corp doesn't really care about them.

[Foxx]

Thats what the purpose of the DNI-A, to speed of connection time on the matrix. I've pretty much learn the same thing from tripping through the matrix, but thing I know for sure that the 'runner deckers they have been using have all suffered some serious dump-shock with using the DNI-A. They are two months behind getting it up to speed as well. So it looks like a beta prototype they haven't perfected yet.

No location on where they are storing the Omega-prototype, no lists of people working on the prototype other then a 'bunch of college kids', and no lists on the deckers who got dumped. Thats all DK has learned

[Bastard]

Next weekend? If you all want to run this weekend, I can only do it Sunday late afternoon, if at all.

[Aku]

so whats the plan for this weekend?

[Bastard]

So far I have Aku and Foxx for Sunday at 1500 Pac Time. Aku-that is 6 pm your time.

Scoundral/KK-what say you?

[Aku]

6pm my time sunday, gotcha

[scoundrel]

I'm cool with that.

[Aku]

I dont think Bastard was expecting us to go in like that this session lol...

[Bastard]

It worked...gave me insight to characters personalities so I can write the next mission accordingly

[Aku]

Why do i get the feeling that involves jack and a hooker??...


I'm Scured!

[Bastard]

Im working on the next mission already, one to fit your teams skills more. Tell me how things are going, if we need more combat or what. I put less legwork in this time, since that really slows things down. You can still do some if you want background information, but nothing is needed.

I will have an ending and karma for you all later this week.

[Aku]

Ya know, it really ticks me off that that one drone is tracked :| i guess i should learn to read :)

[Bastard]

Nothin wrong with a tracked drone.


So for the next mission I think I will divide it up into sections. This is just an idea, but I think this will work better. What do you all think? This is just a rough draft of an idea, but I think it will help

[ Spoiler ]

First Session: 1.5 hrs- 3.5hrs
Meet, Team, 30-90 min (depending on how much RP you all want to do)
Planning, Team, 30-60 min
Insertion, Team, 30-60 min

Second Session 1 hr- 2hrs
Insertion, Jack Wired (Aku), 30-60 min
Mission Objective, Jack Wired, 30-60 min

Third Session 1 hr- 2hrs
Insertion, Digital-Kitsune(Foxx) and Rascal(kackling kactuar) 30-60 min
Mission Objective, Digital-Kitsune and Rascal 30-60 min

Fourth Session 30 min- 120min
Decking, Digital-Kitsune 30 min- 120 min

Fifth Session 75 min- 4 hrs
Extraction, Team 1 hr- 3hrs
Closing, Team 15 min-1 hr

The times vary, hopefully to cover any extra role playing and the fact that you guys will go the complete opposite way I have planned for. :D

Also please PM me with what you thought of the first run. I would like to know what you liked, and disliked, and where I could improve the game for you, and for the team. Its my first time running a game in this format, and I would like to make it the best experience for the players. Also, I want your characters to develope quickly, so the missions can become more difficult. However, I dont want to give too much. About how much Karma are you expecting per run (like 5-8 or 20-30-yeah right). PM me that as well. As soon as I get a reply from everyone I will award karma and finish the set up for the next run.

[Aku]

ok, if i'm reading that correctly, we're each going to have some sort of different objective that we should be able to handle individually, correct? that seems cool, i'm not sure how well it will work in practice, but we'll see.

[Bastard]

Well I may be able to do more than one thing at once...but thats how it broke down, of course you all might do something completely different. So it may not even follow that outline-It is just an idea.

[Aku]

next game time?
