Well this is going to be my first run at GMing on this site, but I am not too frightened by the idea of it. I have GMed far too much to be put be put off by this digital medium.

Anyways...

I want to run a campaign based around a group of runners that started in a small time sprawl, real small time like Fargo, UCAS. Well, the runners have made a name for themselves there as a good team (for Fargo) but recently have come into the sights of the powers that be and must leave Fargo for somewhere with a bit more shadows to hide in. In their new sprawl they must make a name for themselves, get ingrained in the new shadow community and hopefully survive all of the things that will try and tear them apart. This will start with the escape from Fargo to Seattle and go from there.

Character Rules: Basic SR4 creation rules. Concepts I will approve via PM.
Digital Heroin
Color me interested... now I just have to come up with some form of Steve Buscemi looking motherfragger for the game... biggrin.gif
Trigger
Can't wait to see the concept for him. Just hoping that others jump in on this one too.
Trigger
Come one, come all and bring your chummers too. Throw your hoop in on this one, because you don't want to miss it. It will stimulate your mind, it will stimulate your meat, it may even stimulate your aura. So come, come, come.

*Shameless self bumping and promotion*
Marmot
Hell, I'm in. Lemme chop out a concept for you.
Trigger
Frosty, can't wait. grinbig.gif

I need a new home for my Mystic Adept/gunbunny elf chick and this game looks perfect but I just dont wanna commit to something when I am unsure how much time i can give to it. Sounded fun though =( good luck filling out your roster.
Thanee
Looks like you are still looking for some applications, so I will put together a nice street shaman for you. smile.gif

MrMiracle
I have a character from a game that never got started, I'd like to join in if that's ok.

Oh... you'll have so much fun dealing with her.

Alrighty... perhaps a Hacker/Mancer? I can see a paranoid lecherous Steve Buscemi type Hacker working well...
Trigger
I am ready whenever you guys are. Just send me your concepts and sheets and we can hopefully get this thing started asap.
Marmot
What's the party make-up so far? Looks from a quick scan-through that we'll be magic heavy.

Yeah, it seems we have one hacker or mancer, one mystic adept, a shaman, and aanother shaman on top of that. We could play you three as a magical group of your own, your own lodge that you created in Fargo, with your good friend the hacker as part of your posse. I don't know yet...hmm. You will all defintitely know each other before the game IC starts, since the first part is your escape.....hmm.
Digital Heroin
Alternate to the hacker concept was a wee bit of a nutter, a weapons specialist with a fondness for the Monofilament Chainsaw... but that just brings madness to mind...

If that's too much magic for you, I can easily switch to something more mundane... smile.gif

Either way is ok, I am open for any concepts for characters, but my ideal is a bit of a balance on the team. Whatever you guys want.
amra28
I am interested in joining. My character will be a street sammy with some social skills.
Trigger
Sounds good, just get me concepts and character sheets as soon as you can. This goes for all of you guys, get me your info and we can get this thing started.
MrMiracle
I've got a split personality hacker/samurai.

She may not be able to develop much as a samurai, though, so I suppose I can go pure muscle.
MrMiracle
Just sent mine in. Should be a good time.

Really? I haven't received anything.....
amra28
I just sent my concept but there was a problem with the pm system. Either you will not get it or you will get more than one.
Trigger
I got more than one. Hopefully you got my response...either you will, or more than one also.
Marmot
Mine's in the pipe. Also hit the same error, lemme know if you get it.
Thanee
Won't get it done today, but you will get my sheet tomorrow. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
I got it, and sent reply, with same message of error. Bloody PM's.... sarcastic.gif
Marmot
Great.

For all the folks out there, I made some horrible mish-mash face/support shaman.
Thanee
Figured, that you must have been one of the shamans from the posts above (esp. your own about magic heavy). smile.gif

Apparantly, the post gets still posted, despite weird SQL messages being displayed afterwards. smile.gif

Dog Shaman for the win.

Sent it through the email, I try by pm this time.
Digital Heroin
Mental note: Next time I'm on the john, get cracking on thise character...

Yes, I just said that... it's where I do my best creating...
Marmot
Hey, I made up my whole character while showering and listening to David Bowie.

Shadowrun. It happens at the weirdest times.
Digital Heroin
Just as long as it doesn't happen while I'm making sweet love to a beautiful lady (aka getting my grunt on)... 'cause I don't need to suddenly envision a Troll right about then...
Marmot
If your mind isn't focused on the 'task at hand' (so to speak) to the point that you're thinking about Shadowrun, it isn't as great as you wished it was.
Digital Heroin
I'm a pre-Awkening Adept, mine is a mind for Multitasking... biggrin.gif

Speaking of which, sadly the Adept I have ready wouldn't fit this... crazy tech-oriented Adept-Hacker that he is...
Thanee
Hey Trigger!

One question. I havn't seen you say anything about house rules... would you consider the rather common house rule, that every new character gains starting (natural) Cha x2 in extra BP for Contacts?

Bye
Thanee
Marmot
I'm going to have a conniption fit if that's the case cause then I'm due some extra contacts for my shaman.
Trigger
I was considering it, but I don't want contact heavy characters in the beginning, because you are currently in Fargo, but are very soon going to be in Seattle, quite a distance from your previous contacts. You will have to make new contacts once you get there, though I will be semi-generous in allowing opportunities to gain NPC's as contacts.

So, in the short, negative on that house rule.
Trigger
Alright so far I have:

Amra28- Halfpast - I still need your character sheet

Marmot- Akita - Everything looks good

MrMiracle- Belle/Dawna - Same to you, all's good

Thanee- Kerrigan - Just answer me that question in my PM and all is good for you too.

I haven't received anything from anyone else yet, but the recruitment is still open for anyone who wants to join. Just send me your concept and character sheets asap omae.
Marmot
Wiz. We starting soon?
Trigger
We will be starting as soon as I get a sheet from Amra28 and maybe something from DigitalHeroin, he seemed interested in this also.
Marmot
Righto.
amra28
I will get you a sheet tonight.
Trigger

Thanks, can't wait to see it.

No problem, just thought I would ask, since I generally find that house rule to be a good idea. My character doesn't really need any serious contacts, anyways, right now. smile.gif

Question is answered, too (I actually had that part done, and it was meant to be there; I just messed it up yesterday and so forgot to put it in wink.gif).

If there is anything else, just let me know.

Bye
Thanee
Trigger
Well, I don't think DigitalHeroin is going to be joining us, as I hadn't heard anything from him as of yet, but I do have everything I need for the rest of you, so we are going to get this thing started.

First off, you all know each other, so we are actually going to start with character introductions and descriptions here before I start the IC thread. I also want to create a small history between the four of you, the stuff that ties you together. So we are going to be using this thread for a little while longer before moving into actual IC game stuff.
Marmot
So what do you need from us?
Trigger
A description of your character, appearance, a recent background (you all have been running together for the last year in Fargo) and a small description of your abilities for the group. This is so you all know each other before the IC thread starts.
