@grendel

I ghosted the timestamp since we got off somewhere.

Using Edge for the shot, 6d6t5: 3 [6d6t5=4, 2, 6, 2, 5, 5] + 1d6t5: 0 [1d6t5=3]

We're in combat time, so your 03:01:32 timestamp should be 03:00:49.

Fixed.

You're free to rebuild Mac using SR5. She gets an obvious replacement cyberarm for her right arm for free, and can't take resources higher than priority D. The usual restrictions on gear apply, anything she doesn't have on her in Puyallup will be waiting in the storage locker that Kovacs left for her.

Well, Damn. Always figured that was coming but... Ugh!

I'll work on converting her over.

Edit: What about previous karma?

Use it to advance post character creation.

There was a period in time where I thought I wouldn't have to kill him. But then I realized that would not be true to the narrative at all.

I had so many ways I thought it *could* go in my head, some definitely more viable than others. Dead was often at the top of the list, but I somehow thought it would take a LOT longer to get there.

Now, to get to re-building. Are you doing any additional karma grants since the last one, or should I just run with what I have?

Edit: And are all 5E books on the table to draw from, or just the core?

Man, I thought I was more current than that but it looks like the last time I awarded karma was June of 2013? How can that be? Regardless, 52 pts of karma for Mac.

You do realize that I've been waiting to end the world for about ten years now, right? I drafted Cosmo's storyline when she first started playing back in the SR3(!) version of LITS. It became the convenient way to get us into 4th edition, and since that event carried through in the chronology of 5th, I was still able to use it.

I didn't realize it had been *THAT* long, no. Should prove for some *very* interesting things to come.

I'll add the 52 to the karma pile and run with it. Should give some nice flexibility to things I think.

Actually I'm looking back on my sheet and I have Karma from July 2013 to Jan 29th, 2015 awarded, so... Probably need to adjust that a wee bit

Well in that case, make that 16 points of karma for Mac. Glad you're keeping notes.

@grendel

A couple of questions and then I *think* I have Mac rebuilt for 5E

Is it safe/acceptable to assume she had the following on her as far as gear goes post combat hell:
P93
Browning
Commlink + Accessories (ears + eyes)

I planned on repurchasing armor (obviously) and a less conspicuous cyberarm for future replacement and I still have to spend some Karma, but base character is built.

Also, if I wanted to take Drift, Tristan and/or Isomer as contacts, seeing how a good 50%+ of my originals are dead and/or more likely enemies now, what would I be looking at for Loyalties and Connections.

Thanks!

The P93 didn't survive but the Browning did, as did Mac's commlink. Drift isn't in the picture contact wise (currently) but Tristan is a max connection of 5, max loyalty of 5, Isomer is a max connection of 8, max loyalty of 3.

Fair enough.

Is 50k the absolute limit for cash or can i still convert earned karma to cash?

No, you can convert karma to cash above the 50k limit.

Gear question:

If I technically wanted to use the Fake ID Isomer had made for Mac at Kovacs' request, what additional licenses would I have to purchase to match?

Should have a finalized 5E sheet ready along with Karma expenditures for your approval tonight/tomorrow.

Licenses for whatever you wanted to (legally) carry on you. Pistols, at the very least.

Ok, so I still have a good portion of Karma to spend, but I didn't want to go crazy given the small window of in-game time that's passed plus the changeover to 5E.

Mac in 5E

Looks good.

Right now Mac has 6 physical and 8 stun. Roll me Body + Willpower, please.

Well crap, I think I blew all my dice karma last night...

Results 8d6t5: 1 [8d6t5=4, 4, 4, 2, 5, 2, 1, 4]

Make that same roll for every hour that you're going to have Mac rest.

Fair enough, I'm guessing 6'ish hours.

5 [8d6t5=5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 1, 4, 6]
3 [8d6t5=5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 5, 2, 3]
2 [8d6t5=5, 1, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3]
4 [8d6t5=6, 5, 2, 3, 6, 6, 2, 3]
4 [8d6t5=6, 3, 6, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1]
3 [8d6t5=2, 6, 2, 1, 3, 5, 2, 6]

Guess Dice Karma is back

She'll be fully healed of her stun after two hours.

Not enjoying the missing portions of my posts when I copy and paste. Last one has been edited, sorry for the weird mid-moment fragment before.

Roll me some perception for Mac please.

Perception + Vision Enhancement
10d6t5: 4 [10d6t5=4, 4, 6, 5, 4, 1, 3, 6, 6, 2]

Post updated.

Please check your timestamps, we're on Sunday morning now. Also, did you mean to skip ahead seven hours in your last post?

Oh hell, not sure what happened to my time stamp. It's corrected now. Sorry.

Heh, just tried to go back to find the intro post I put up to start Mac's storyline and I think some mod deleted it.

Seriously?!?

Edit: nope, still there: Here

Huh, wonder why I couldn't find it before.

Are we on temporary hiatus?

Sorry, fell off the grid due to connection issues. Network is back up and stable. I'll have a post for you soonest.

No worries, just checking in and making sure you were still alive while I went through withdrawals

You can actually go ahead and post about Mac's plan. Unless you're still formulating it.

Gah, bad copy/paste...its been edited. 😄

Sorry, been trying for two days to post that and couldn't get connected to DSF till now.

No worries, you weren't the only one who couldn't get to the forums.

Damn and here I thought I was special.

You're special in other ways. Also, depending on what Mac has planned, roll me some seduction or negotiations or intimidation.

Negotiation/Seduction (however you want to play it) 8d6t5: 4 [8d6t5=6, 5, 3, 6, 2, 3, 5, 2] Drop the last die for a "seduction" roll since no specialization

Let me know if you want a post, or if you want to keep rolling with it.

Roll me some perception for Mac, please.

Then roll me some initiative.

Let the fun begin...

Perception+Vision Enhancement: 11d6t5: 6 [6, 6, 4, 1, 2, 6, 2, 5, 5, 1, 5]

Initiative: 1d6+9: 12 [3]

Clarification? Guys last out the door are aiming/shooting at Mac and Mario and the Corp Survailence guys are returning fire or adding to the melee around Mac and Mario?

Either way, Never a dull moment with you is there?

Mac's first guess is that the guys by the door think she and Mario are in league with the corporate surveillance assets.

Then Mac will attempt to return fire towards the pair immediately shooting at her and Mario.

3 [6d6t5=5, 4, 3, 6, 3, 6]

2nd pass, you're up on 2.
