Expect bumps to come today...

Fortune--You know that this club is fairly new on the Rave scene. It is heavier on the drugs and lighter on the music than most others.
BishopMcQ
bump forthcoming

I still have not seen any activity from Mitch or Axe since the holidays. Please sound off so I know you are still with us.
Fortune
QUOTE (McQuillan)
bump forthcoming.

Well, I was sort of hoping so, but don't you think Sun should have some say in the matter? wink.gif
BishopMcQ
I said bump, not bumping uglies...

whatever you two decide to do when the run is over is between you...
Fortune
QUOTE (McQuillan)
... when the run is over ...

Is that a prerequisite? nyahnyah.gif
BishopMcQ
if you two want to start early, that's between you.

Sounding off.

@adamu: I love that description, but I have one minor nitpick. Ryan changed his jacket's colors to a mottled green and black pattern after making good his escape from the scene of his last adventure. wink.gif

Adamu -Why would you need to watch Sun? She's harmless (mostly)

I am also not at liberty to comment on who Sun may sleep with before,after or during this run wink.gif
Fortune
Speaking of scenes of last adventures, McQuillan ... Ryan picked up the Spike's pistol as he left the scene (he stowed it under the Scorpion's saddle before attending the meet). So, just what kind of pistol was it?

What can I say? Ryan's a gun nut! biggrin.gif

Sorry dude, I tried to be real careful and only include details that players had already included in their own posts, so as not to step on anyone's toes. Missed that point.
But I will edit it right now. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, I'm not sure Al himself is reconciled to why he REALLY wants to keep an eye on her -
But speaking strictly OOC, seems to me that by the time he sees her again he won't even know it's her.
Fortune
No problem. I figured that since you had already gone to so much trouble to be a stickler for detail ... biggrin.gif

That is part of her trick. She has ways for those who work with her to recognise her.

On which subject Pesto will recognise Sun's little art deco geegaw as being Sun's since we've worked together.

depends what your doing while looking at this Sun wink.gif
Ophis
Okay welcome to Sun's second favorite interaction Negotiation.

okay thats 20 dice (Cha 7+inf SG 5+Kinesics 3+ Tailored Pheromones 3+ First imp 2)

3, 3, 5, 5, 3, 3, 6, 5, 2, 2, 3, 3, 6, 3, 6, 4, 3, 2, 3, 2 = 6 hits

I'm tempted to re-roll with edge, but fancy I'll need it later.

Not bad, like that number of ones.
adamu
McQuillan - here's one of those "people living in 2070 Seattle would just know this/GM-player in the same reality" questions....

Johnson says 5K and 30K, but never mentions currency.

Then he specifies UCAS$ for what we are expected to pay the guinea pig.

Now, I think we all assumed the initial offer was in nuyen - I mean, I think that is still the common currency in Seattle/the world of 2070/Shadowrun, but then Seattle is technically UCAS. Couldn't find anything saying otherwise in Runner Havens...I'm obviously not asking you what the J REALLY meant, but just touching base with you (and everyone) that most people would just naturally assume the J is talking NUYEN (which according to SoNA is still worth about five times the UCAS dollar)...
BishopMcQ
Certified cred is generally measured in Nuyen. Hard currency will be based in local currency and depend on the individual for translation. (ie. 500 hard, could be $500 UCAS or 500 nuyen.gif worth of hard currency)
BishopMcQ
bump forthcoming, it's Tuesday.
Fortune

Not for me! nyahnyah.gif

So, when did you get your name changed?
BishopMcQ
Yeah, yeah...It's tuesday for the Western World nyahnyah.gif If you're on the wrong half of the globe, then you get to travel back in time each time you join me on DSF.

Got changed this morning to match my GenCon and Commando IDs.

Okay, I'll save that for when I pull out the big needle and ask Mitch to bend over.

Am I missing something????
BishopMcQ
Tuesdays, generally in the AM for GMT-0800, are when I do the main bumps for the thread with smaller bumps throughout the week.
Ophis
I expect stuff on tuesdays, but that maybe a KoL thing.
adamu
So, with payment all made and biz apparently finalized, do we have some indication of whether the J is leaving us in the room, or expecting us to leave him in the room?
BishopMcQ
he does not appear to be leaving, so probably the latter.
adamu
Hey all - I will be unable to get online for the next three or four days. The last thing I want to do is hold up the game. Al do whatever Bubbles asks, and if rolls need to be made, well, obviously BishopMcQ has my sheet. Be back ASAP.
Ophis
Mister boss man of the changing name (his holiness)

BishopMcQ
Make a memory test for me. The hits you get on this will add to tests later if you need another test.
Ophis
Okies

Log+Will+1 for Mnemonic Enhancer 1=8 dice

6, 3, 5, 3, 1, 2, 2, 6, 2 = 3 hits

Okay that should help.
adamu
Okay, I am sort of alive again. May not post much for a bit, but will be watching and will respond if ball gets tossed into my court. Mostly just following Bubbles' lead, though.
DireRadiant

Don't you know what a bad idea that is?

Let me know if I am bumping to McHugh's or if there is another location in mind.

McHughs not good enough for elf missy!

No! the food is awful and the colour scheme will clash with her hair!!! biggrin.gif
BishopMcQ
You could at least change your hair color....
Ophis
Way ahead of you boss.

Quick (and hopefully obvious) note on Sun's transformation, she's not doing it near any working cameras, that would be stupid.

Do I need to make any rolls for this? Perception for the cameras or disguise for the transformation I would presume.
BishopMcQ
Perception (Visual) and Disguise to start.
Ophis
Visual perception - Int+Per+Vision enhance+enhanced perception 17 dice

6, 5, 1, 5, 4, 2, 6, 3, 6, 2, 2, 6, 5, 6, 6, 4, 5 = 10 hits

I hope I've spotted all the bloody cameras

Disguise Test Int+Disguise(Stealth Skill Group)+Facial Sculpt 2+3 for the hair and skin stuff 14 dice.

2, 1, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 6, 6, 3 = 6 hits

That should cover most watchers.
BishopMcQ
You missed the orbital platform that had been re-tasked to photograph your area, but otherwise you were good. wink.gif You were out of view of all cameras
Ophis
Damn I always forget about the orbital platforms...
BishopMcQ
Everyone forgets to check for the orbital platforms, it's like the people in horror movies who forget to check the ceiling.

Bump forthcoming to McHugh's

Al is thinking on whether he knows a good place to start the search - e.g. whether in his neck of the woods he has seen or heard anything about a new drug that gives its users a sense of where the dealer is, or more broadly, just a new type of drug on the streets (or in Al's case, on the docks/in the dives).

[ Spoiler ]
BishopMcQ
Adamu--There hasn't been any news about a drug that lets people know where the dealer is, though a few new drugs have hit the market which are half the cost of current ones. General belief is that they have a higher OD rate as it seems to be the friend of a friend who was taking the drugs and dropped off. Very few people that you know have ever directly taken the drug.
adamu
Okay, I have been stressing about something since I joined this forum last April - and that is how much to post.

Frankly, I am not sure if there is an etiquette involved or not. Logically, it seems that the board is structured so that no matter how much one person posts, anyone else is still able to post all they feel inclined to.

Still, I do worry about stepping on toes. And I know that out of six (?) players, I have been making about a third of the IC posts. I have no desire to hog the stage, but I usually make myself wait about 24 hours before some posts, and it very much seems like if I don't post something, no one will. Personally, I really don't even WANT Al on center stage all the time, but I want to keep the thread going. But I suppose that's not really my place, anyway, but the GM's.

I am very excited about this game - I daresay it is, to me, THE most important thing I am doing on this board. I would really hate to see it fade away.

Sorry to be so direct - been pussyfooting around this issue for ten months.

Please let me know if I am crowding anyone out of their chance to enjoy the game, or if I am impinging on any GM prerogatives. I am more than happy to move to the back seat.

On the other hand, if anyone has any ideas on jumpstarting this thread (or is it actually humming along fine and I am just impatient), let's discuss them.
DireRadiant
Ahh, posting ettiquette, always tricky.

For example, while recently I've been urging scenes along with Bubbles hyperkinetic urge to keep moving, it may actually be a bad idea to let her drive what the entire team does. An effective IC team leader would be a useful thing to have right now, and IC Bubbles is certainly not it. On the other hand, it might be fun to see how far along Bubbles can string everyone.
