Maybe Im stupid...but I dont understand what the headers are...are those just examples of what you want us to include in posts?
JackRipper
Jun 21 2006, 05:50 PM
Availability cap is 12
PAN= mode you are in (hidden, passive, active)
Model= what model commlink
OS= operating system
ACC= cybereyes with image link, contact lenses, etc.

No..I know what the acronyms are (first character was a technomancer

) Im just not sure if when you say "About your headers" if you mean to say you want us to use those headers (with appropriate information) in our posts...ie, are they examples you are asking usto use?
JackRipper
Jun 21 2006, 06:24 PM
Yes, thats what i'd like you to use.

If anyone wants to know Sahara from the joint, or have the dubious honor of having been arrested by her, let me know. She was on the force for almost 6 years and spent the last 6 months in the Hollywood Correctional Facility. Fun Fun.

No, but i'm sure it'd make great reading lol. Scratch that, if we get an "R" rating i'd prefer graphic violence and language over a gratuitous sex scene.

"The Comedians" which Dave Goreman wishes to join. The gang are basically like

adamu
Jun 22 2006, 07:17 AM
Actually, I don't think he did. He posted in terms of points spent, and since the first rating point in all atts is free, it just means he didn't spend on those and has ratings of one in them.
PMed my char sheet last night. Let me know if you didn't get it or have any questions/problems.

Oh my goodness - I am totally embarrassed.
I want to sincerely thank Blitz for pointing that out, and especially offer my heartfelt apologies to Ankle Biter.
In the lame excuse department, I saw Jack's comment on no agility/reaction, and jumped on the riddle, opening the spoiler without even reading AB's initial comment. If it is any consolation, I don't even understand the new hacking rules, and the whole thing was meaningless to me. But an excuse is no more than an excuse, and I really am sorry. Will take much more care in the future.

Edit, fair enough, you is forgiven.
Anyhwew, I also forgot knowledge skills.
Spoiler, Please do not read this unless you are JackRipper or not involved in this campaign...
[ Spoiler ]
Flat knowledge skill points cost 2bp, and specialisations are 1BP, so if you dont mind I spent 3 "free" knowledge skill points to get 6 specialisations.
(Int4+log5) * 3 = 27
Free language English
Orzet 4 (writing)
Japanese 3 (writing)
Hong Kong (Can't remember the dialect) 3 (writing)
German 2 (writing)

(I read technical manuals from these countries a lot, to maintain my knowledge skill)
Academic knolwedge skill
Electronics 6 (spec bleeding edge)
Local area knowledge skill
ork underground 4

Okay...as you can see it is pretty general first opening (its a cut scene) You may begin posting
AS A SIDE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE SEEN THE CROW, THE DWARF IS MODELED AFTER THE PAWNSHOP OWNER GIDEON...hope that helps create a visual
I also will not continue or answer IC until all pc's have posted and/or sent in sheets. So spend some time and think up your opening posts.

Okay, before I start posting and have it look like crap, I'd like to see if i've got your header format up front.
It should look like this.
16:48:13 Capitol Hill, Cafe Noir
PAN: Active Model: Sony Emperor OS: Renraku Ichi
ACC: Electric Glasses/AR Gloves
If I'm off please let me know. Also, one question, would the average Joe know what PAN restrictions are in given areas of Seattle? Like some of the ritzy areas would probably require Active, while others have no restrictions.

Jun 23 2006, 12:22 AM
You are right on the money for header.
Most areas are whatever you like....passive is like having spam blocker on, high security may want active.

Hey, Shadow, did you know that a software version's system rating is limited by commlink response rating? You may be better off using Iris Orb as your OS, it's cheaper, and it will run the same on your commlink, unless you are planning on upgrading later.
Anyhew, I am now scanning local frequencies to get the commcodes of other people in the area, or at least I will be when everybody arrives at the meet.
You know maybe this Technomancer thing ain't so bad after all...

Just so you guys are aware of this. I chose PC's by the fact they are new to shadowrunning...it wasnt a coincidence you all are relatively new to it. That being the case you dont need to be perfect at it in the beginning (i expect F' ups from you, in the beginning......you have a learning curve for the moment)

Question, will the use of Killing Hands destory my AR gloves? If so I'm going need to make some minor alterations to the old character sheet.
