[Recruitment] Bug City, Alternative Reality, An Infested Chicago Options

[Sphynx]

Before you read ANY further, read the following line please....

To join this game you MUST be able and willing to post 5 days a week minimum, preferably Monday through Friday.

Anyone who was in my Earth's Dawn campaign has a free seat in this game if they want to play, assuming they can meet the above requirement (ES_Sparky is an exception, I understand her bad schedule and have guaranteed her a seat once she gets a chance to join). ;)

First let me see an interest, if enough people are interested, I'll post the game requirements. If you haven't posted within 48 hours of this post, I'll assume you can't meet the 1 minimum requirement.

That being said, the game will take place in Chicago 2064, however this is an alternative reality where Bug Spirits aren't even heard of (no Bug Knowledge skills allowed). You'll start in Chicago, just after the city is quarantined, as the smell of anarchy begins to fill the streets and warlords begin taking over areas. You'll have a chance to start your own community, and protect it against bugs and human raiders who want your turf.

Histories should be written in a manner that shows how they ended up in Chicago, up to minutes before the Quanrantine, post-quarantine will be written by myself to insure a team-oriented feel to the game. Family is VERY important in this history write up, they'll be what keeps you fighting, what keeps you motivated, etc. So, no parentless-siblingless-wifeless type loners.

If sufficient interest is manifested for the game, I'll let you know in 48 hours. Feel free to start on a character if you like, I run my games at a starting 128 BP (Nice binaric number).

WARNING: Casting of spells tends to draw bug spirits out of turpor, for those of you that haven't read the books. Careful playing a magic user, or you could be a bug-magnet.

WARNING: Deckers may be bored to death in this game, you're off the world net.

My rules are simple for character creation.
1) No heavy weapons or stockpiling of ammunition.
1a) If you're not sure if a weapon is a 'heavy weapon', assume it is.
1b) If you're not sure if you have too much ammo, assume you do.
2) No armour-piercing anythings at all.
3) No Shapeshifters (You may play a Changeling however)

I don't pay attention to availability, or grade of cyber/bio, etc. Play what you want, only limitations is on the weapons.

NO HOUSE ITEMS. Rayguns is invalid, don't even go to that page. :P

Modifications of weapons is acceptable, as is modifications to vehicles and skillsofts. You may not, however create your own weapons or vehicles for this game.

There is no starting Karma, so no, you may not start initiated.

I'd recommend that you chip in extra cash for a 'starting place'. Buying it via a bought lifestyle and Facility will determine where you start in Chicago. The more cash you pump into your starting place, the more 'fortified' it will be (this is the only way to see Heavy Weapons at char-gen, it would be a part-of the starting base)

Please don't post any character sheets until after I see if there's enough interest. Please don't feel obligated to play diverse characters. If everyone is a Raven Shaman, so be it. I as the GM will work around the characters, just make sure you play something you like so much that you can't help but post the 5 times a week minimum.

[Frater Inominatu...]

Just posting my interest,
No problem with your guidlines,
Let me know if/when to submit a character...

[HobbeGoblin]

Concept: Samurai or psyad who uses his Ares Predator as a club via his Arnis De Mano martial arts training as well as to shoot with.

[Morgannah]

I'm interested as well but again, my availability is going to be limited until June. If that's chill, then great! If not I'll wait for the next bus. ;)

[Sphynx]

With Fortune, Lindt and ES, that's enough interest to continue. Anyone else that can meet the requirement is welcome to join. I won't be picking players from a list. If you post a character, you're in the game. When you fail to meet the minimum requirement, game over. I'm not a hard-stickler for it, I'll forgive easily a 4-day post in a week, but anyone averaging 2 posts a week can be guaranteed a quick character-death to keep the game fun for us more active posters.

Game will begin May 30th. May 23rd I stop the recruitment (and won't accept any newly posted characters), I'll assume anyone who can't make a character in 5 days doesn't have the time to play as regularly as the minimum requires.

May 23rd starts a [Story Setup] thread to get people in the mood, and in the scene, during that time I'll be working heavily with you to get characters fitted. :) It will also be the beginning of min-maxxing (or perhaps, un-min-maxxing) your character with the GM.

Rules for Char Gen are in 1st post (reminder).

Please use the spoiler tags for sheets to make the thread readable. :P

[Lindt]

Im thinking of playing an actual Shadowrunner that gets stuck in the DMZ when the walls go up.

So I take it this means Earths Dawn has officially gone the way of the Dodo?

[Sphynx]

I think so Lindt, not enough interest showed in bringing it back up. :P

[scoundrel]

Like Morgannah, I won't have a lot of time to post until June hits. I'll easily be able to put in five posts a week (a day?) after this month, but lemme know if you don't think that's going to work out. :)

I'll probably end up reworking and submitting Gnat, a character I put together for another game that I didn't get a chance to play in due to time constraints.

[Whizbang]

Hmm...you still insisting on daily posting even if it's just a fancy way of saying your char is doing nothing?

[Sphynx]

Game begins 2 days before June, if need be, I can wait til June 1st to start.

And yes Whizbang, even if it's just a creative doing-nothing post. :P I don't often give people days where they can't find something to post though (You can read my old threads for my gaming style). If it seems like it would be a slow moment in the game, I tend to fast forward to the next exciting moment.

[Sphynx]

Some quick clariffications on some PMs I got. The family should be INSIDE the city. The idea being that you have people you want to protect, thus making a more motivated character, not to have people you want to get to, which is the exact opposite and tends to go against the game concept of an inner-city plot. :P

Sphynx

[Whizbang]

*recalls the last Bug City game you ran* Not much my char could do when she was barely consious...and I made it clear then that I hate making fluff posts... guess since our opinions vary, I might want to consider looking elsewhere... even though this does look like a fun game concept.

[Sphynx]

Just a reminder, 3 days left until recruitment is over, get character posted by then. :P

Sphynx

[Lindt]

Ill see what I can get tougther this weekend. I may flat drop out if I cant get a good charcter written, as Im rather tapped creativitly.

Also, I wouldent be able to start on the 30th. National Holiday and all, Ill be spending it on a beach drinking fruity things with little umbrellas in them.

[Jrayjoker]

I'll try to get something posted on Monday. If I don't, then assume I am a no-go.

Family and no heavy weapons, check!

Are we limited in neighborhood of choice, or will you be moving us toward each other in game?

[mallet]

Are we allowed to/should we be using the family as Dependant flaws? If so any min/max that these should be at?

[mallet]

Ok here is my idea for a character:


Mike Hennessey, Dwarf Pub Owner, Ex-Aries military.

The following is a brief BG. I will keep expanding on to it as we get closer to game time.

[ Spoiler ]

Mike Hennessey was born in Chicago to a hard working middle-class family. His father worked the steal on many of the giant corporate buildings that now dominate the Chicago skyline. When Mike was in his early teens his dad took on a permanent job with Aries megacorp as part of a team that built and repaired all of the Aries buildings in state.

Unfortunately just a few years later there was an accident at one of the work sites and Mike's father fell from one of the building to his death. Mike and the rest of his family were devastated by the loss. The insurance money paid out by Aries was good, but not nearly enough to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Mike, the oldest of 3 children, had never taken school seriously and thus found himself struggling to find work and bring in money for his family.

It was an Aries trauma counselor who eventually pointed Mike in the direction of the Aries military. Due to his fathers work for the company (and in no small part his death while working for the company) Mike had no problem getting accepted into the organization and served to help through-out the years to come.

Mike took to military life like a fish to water. He excelled in combat training and when he put his mind to it he was capable of getting incredibly good marks in the courses and classes. Eventually he was accepted into officer training and did exceptionally well at it.

Over the years he saw a lot of action across the globe, especially in the Desert Wars where he made a name for himself and the small unit under his command. All the while sending home most of his paycheck every month to his mother and the rest of his family.

Over the years though, Mike slowly became disillusioned with military life, especially one spent working and killing for corporate profits. it was while serving in the South Pacific that he saw things that ended his career in the military. He and his team were serving as extra security at an Aries compound, because a small civil war had erupted in the surrounding area. Aries was strictly neutral in the fight and Mike had to sit back and watch as thousands of people were fighting and dying for a freedom and a cause they believed in. Meanwhile Mike was unable to do so much as offer them food, water or help the injured because it would not be profitable for Aries to get involved.

After the tour was over Mike had had enough and resigned from Aries. He moved back to Chicago and his family. Not sure what he was going to do now, but knowing he had had enough violence to last him a lifetime, he was shocked to find out that his mother had been taking some of the money that he had been sending home for all of these years and investing it for him. So he was quite shocked to discover that he had a small fortune to do with as he pleased.

What he pleased did not take long to figure out. Mike had always loved only two things in his life. His family and beer, and sometime it was hard to say which he loved more. He took his money and bought himself a small pub in his old neighborhood. It took quite a bit of work to get it up and running, but Mike didn't give up and with in a couple of years he had a decent place that was making money and was much loved by the neighborhood regulars.

It's a good place to drink and get a bite to eat. Live music most nights of the week and enough dark corners for the lovers and plotters of the area to meet and have a quiet drink. Sure the occasional suit comes in, most of the time they seem only interested in talking to Mike, but what that's about no one wants to ask. Even more rarely one of Mike's ex-soldier buddies shows up and on those nights everybody drinks for free. All in all it's a good, friendly place, In a good, friendly town. You should stop by sometime and have a drink...

Sound good? If so let me know or if anything needs changing let me know.

Thanks.

[FlipShow]

Sounds good. I'd like to play a construction worker with his girlfriend on the outside. Their relationship was taking a real upswing with marriage on the horizon and then suddenly Val cannot leave his worksite. He will be sort of a normal guy if that's cool... never ran the shadows.

[mallet]

A quick question:

where are the rules (which book) for building places/facilities like you mentioned in the first post? Is this just an extension of lifestyle? I've gone through my source books and have not seen anything like that, so I am assuming that it is not from a book I have.

So, could anyone let me know what the cost would be for a medium sized pub/bar?
and the general rules for this type of thing?

Thanks.

[nick012000]

Any grade of cyber/bioware, huh?

I'm thinking a million nuyen sam, formerly an assassin of the Yamatetsu corporate family. He fled to the quarentine zone because he figured that the corp wouldn't pursue him there, and because that's where his ex-wife and his daughter lived. Unfortunately, the ex died shortly after the bugs began running amok, so now he has to protect his daughter while trying to hide from the corp he left, and bring home food for the table.

EDIT: Finished his character sheet. I'll post it if I'm accepted into the game.

[Musashi Forever]

I would like to throw my het into this ring. I am considering crafting a street ganger dwarf who is a little wrong in the head. I would like to give him the mysterious cyberware flaw as an explanation for his partial insanity.

Sound ok Sphynx?

[Sphynx]

Mallet: BG looks good to me.

Flipshow: That's cool, but with 128 BP, it'd be hard to make a 'normal guy'. However, I like the idea.

Mallet: The rules aren't in existance, I'm telling you as a group that I'll create a place and base it on the amount donated. I'll base the cost on those 2 factors (So basically, 100,000 to have a 'facility' and then divide the rest of the donation by the number of players to determine the 'lifestyle' of the complex, as well as its defensive and offensive capabilities [Ie: What the 'other' residence do to participate]. This is used INSTEAD of buying lifestyle, btw.)

Nick: All characters are accepted if/when they post their character sheet. You'll know you're accepted by having posted the character sheet. :P

Musashi: As long as he can be a 'team player', I'm ok with the idea.

Ok, well I am willing to donate some money to the cause. If people want to make my pub their home when sh-t goes down that would be cool. It's got a lot of food & beer :) Could be defendable. Plus it's got extra rooms upstairs and a basement. Plenty of room.

Or maybe we could have a couple of places? My pub + someones apartment nearby or something like that? That way we always have a diferent place to fall back to if one of them gets over run.

I guess it really depends on how much money people have left over after character creation. I seem to have a hell of a lot left over right now. I could drop it to get more skill points, but if we need a place, i'll keep it to make the place good.

Anyways, let me know if this sounds good.
