Good luck on the writing. Catch up with you this weekend.

Bishop - You're up.

Tag out to Bishop.

Redjack--Just to check, have you seen the last few messages that I've sent out? I realize the black on dark gray is hard to read, but I never saw a reply from our mage or Kilroy...

Simple brain-fry on my part. I did see it, but you are right. That black doesn't stand out well. I edited my post and switched to #A0522D (the brown next to the black on the color pop up in the editor. I don't see a message to the mage...?

The message to the mage was asking Whisper for a room number...this was before Greer came into contact with it.

Have we lost Sparky again?

It appears we have lost Sparky. I think Bishop is up.

alright, I was waiting for Sparks. I'll post later today on my lunch.

Wha? Checking...

Sorry, lunch never quite happened...posting now.

hehehe.... That must mean that kvasac is on deck now.

For reference, I passed the buck on safehouses back when I put the first call out for the pickup.

Hey guys. It's me peeking in to check on the game again.

Good job to you all to keep playing consistently and especially RJ for GM'ing what seems to be 3 threads all around the same story arc.

RL has went through changes for me lately and I've got more free time again. I'll be looking up for a spot in a new game whenever a recruitment thread opens up, but I was also thinking...

I see that kvasac is now in charge of Rex - whom I'm surprised and happy to see still alive and going strong!! I'm sure you're doing a great job, but I thought hey, maybe I could resume playing him if you're so kind to let me I of course don't mind reading over all the posts in the IC thread (and OOC posts as much as needed) to get up to pace.

If either one of you two, kvasac and RedJack, don't want me to take him back, it's okay, no worries. I can't express how much I would love to come back and play him however.

Let me know

@Team
Ok. Let me know if there is anything anyone wants to do prior to or at the safe house. Post in IC, clarify if needed in OOC. The safehouse is just an unused core in a stripmall so feel free to post up, in and embellish if you like. Once everyone has posted in (or 7 days RL pass) I will post up towards the flight.

@Gobogen
You'll need to clear that with Kvasac. I think he's pretty partial to Rex this far in and he's had one person start (and stop) taking over Rex.
Otherwise, shoot me a concept and I'll see which team that concept might work with.

Thanks RedJack, really appreciated

I'll wait to hear from kvasac first.

If he wants he can play Rex again...

Thanks kvasac, you're a real gentleman. Though don't hesitate if you'd rather keep playing him. After all, I did abandon Rex in a way.

If not then you can all expect IC posts coming from me again. Also, are there any notable changes to the character sheet that I should know about, karma or otherwise?

Rex got some Karma and CSP but no changes to sheet.

Well it seems that we're all good then. Thanks again kvasac for letting me come back like this even though you played Rex for a while. I guess I'll resume posting when appropriate.

Oh and what's a CSP?

Common Sense Point--think of it as Karma for Knowledge skills only.

@Rex
@Jake
@Grayson
@Carter
Karma & CSP awards will follow the successfully (or unsuccessful) delivery of Yavanna to her flight.

That will be a computer hardware test for Jake.

Once Jake gets time:
8d6 → [6,6,5,3,2,6,3,1]

Let me know in IC or OOC of any special actions you want to take or any knowledge skills you would like to use. My next post will be to reply to Rex about the disguise and post up moving from the van to the safehouse.

Any chances to uplink to some satellite and get bird view of the hood?

Still waiting for an answer about the disguise kit.

Updated post.

So I'm not sure what to post at this point. I guess we need some kind of plan, so I'll start up a discussion about this in OOC first.

It seems to me like the Vories might have heard about us, but likely not about our exact whereabouts. We still need to be careful about protecting the safehouse but with drones all around, we'll at the very least see them coming.

About the rest of the evening. I doubt they even know what we look like (or, say, our vehicle), but they do know about Spencer and Yavanna, which means hiding their appearance (possibly with a disguise, which sounds like overkill) could save us some trouble. Do they know anything about where we're meeting this other coyote? Maybe we should send some of us to do recon on site.

I don't recon any other predictable threats, except for the unknown reliability of the other coyote, or troubles he could bring along.

We could always go for a decoy thing. Dress Yavanna and Spencer as beggars or the like and procure them while the rest play guards to 'doubles'.

Just give me an IC post and we'll move along,

Are you including Spencer (possibly even Yavanna)?

Hey just letting you know that I won't be around between Saturday and Wednesday.

Hello everyone, my character's name is "Black Fist" and I have just joined your game. This will be my first PBP game but I have been playing Shadowrun since 3rd edition, so please excuse the extreme learning curve here. If anyone is willing to help if/when I screw up, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Black Fist is taller than your average Ork, with dark green skin. He however is slightly under-built from what you would expect from an Ork his size. When you first look at him, you question if he knows what a shower looks like much less how to use it. You can tell he lives on the streets or dam close to it; his hair is greasy and uncut, his tee-shirt and jeans are covered in black spots and ripped at the major joints (elbows and kness). There is two things that would set him apart from just some ganger; His armor jacket is kept hole-free and looked like it has been washed. The other thing is the golden machine pistol hanging from his hip that he proudly displays.

When talking to him, Black Fist replys in short bursts and if your lucky a whole sentence. You would think that when your talking to him, all his anger is pointed at you. That however, is just the way he acts.

@ Redjack

Hey bjorn. Welcome to the game and to Dumpshock.

Bjorn - Roll for money looks good. I don't understand what you mean by "Tell me how much I will have to pay to get to a place to send him a response"

I didn't know if I'd have to pay to send him a response since I had to pay for the meet previously. If I can just send him a text message back that works.

Yea, the reply is ok, no problem.

are we changing to this color for commlink text?

Welcome to the game bjorn/Black Fist
Waaagh!!!!

If there is anything wrong, let me know

Hello everyone. I know I'm the new guy and just joined, but I will be going on vacation until the 9th or 10th of June.

Something like that. Much easier to see on the new, darker background than black.

Been a bit since I've seen any posting here... Let me know what we are doing. I can bump forward, but I don't get the feeling you are are fully together with your planning yet..

Also, I just realized that you all did not get karma for the objective completion of finding Spencer. Take 3 karma.
Current totals:
Jake: 9 Karma, 4 CSP
Carter: 9 Karma, 4 CSP
Rex: 8 Karma, 3 CSP
Grayson: 4 Karma, 0 CSP
Blackfist: 0 Karma, 0 CSP (Welcome to the team)

I do not show that anyone has spent any Karma.

I'm here, waiting if anyone else has some add on to planning.

Well, I don't have much to add before the mage answers to the magical stuff IC.

But apart from that, my opinion is that since there are so many unknowns, we should probably all try to stick together and divert the attention of our pursuers if/when we encounter them.

Oh and a spirit/us to camouflage us and provoke an accident or divert the Russians would also be great. Once again, I'd let the mage suggest it though.

Disguise Roll for Grayson 4 CHA + 3 Disguise + 3 Facial Sculpt = 10 DP
Roll: 3 3 3 4 4 4 [5] [5] [6] [6] = 4 Hits

The answer to gobogen's question: Roll

1 Success to magical knowledge. Not clear on the question though. I don't really see a question in Gobogen's post...?

If I understood it correctly, the question was whether we could fool ritual sorcery by taking "material links" and spreading then around town. Effectively making ritual sorcery track the parts rather than the whole.
