Yeah, I'm roffling as well.
PEW PEW PEW, then some guys face exploding. It would be awesome.
Full Version: OOC Daily Action #1
At risk of having to crack open a rule book, can one alter illusion spells as one goes along if they are being sustained by a focus?
To be honest I cannot remember.
I think I cannot actually do that - so the SMG will actually remain invisible, and I'll be holding it with a conventional grip.
But I'm at work :\
Just going with the comedy option because I enjoy it.

Mostly I meant the weapon invisible when separating from the body/changing from the originial mask picture that was put on the fetish, more than the hand position.
Not sure what I think about that, not sure about the rule/workings of it.
Unless a rule says a spell put on a focus can't be modified, I'm all for changes like that being done, but it would take a wee bit of time and attention.
Not particularly worried about it.
yeah not sure, need to check physical mask in the book. To be honest, I thought the illusion was fixed whatever I did, so my appearance remained constant, but I'm not actually sure.
Game mechanics wise, I don't know if you want us to roll initiative?
Whatever the case, Dexter would "delay" his action (as I would hope Dagda would
) until both men can act exactly at the same time.
Dexter will go through the door and cover the right, letting Dagda take up the left.

So, Dex's plan for the night, unless something happens, is to get mighty shit faced, go home and sleep.
Actually, if you guys still want to do some RP in the bar, odds are with each passing moments, Dexter might can in a drunken brawl with someone else... just for the heck of it.
Yet another post! This concerns "character creation"! Yes yes Play, I know, should be done by now.... but after swapping that money around to get the Gauss Rifle, Dexter was left with 10500 nuyens, no vehicle, and I forgot about it.
So, I am consulting you, my two new partners in writing and crime! What should Dexter get. I'm thinking in a bit of a broader term than simply getting him a car to get around. I could just get him a Jackrabbit and be done with it. But I feel we, as a team, need maybe a "special" vehicle. I know 10 500 isn't much, but it's a start. Here are what I could get for us.
-Evo Falcon (off road bike, if we ever do out in the wilderness jobs... great for getting to a hard to reach sniper perch)
-Thundercloud Morgan (open chassis, off road, weapon mout..... great if we do, once again, jobs out of the city
)
-any bike
-jackrabbit

I'm at my paren'ts house in the country. On dial up. It's painful.
I'll put out a good ic post Sun or Mon.

Honestly, I don't think we need to work into team optimization stuff yet. For example, Jesse has all the talent in the world to be a competent rigger - he just isn't there yet. I let the "getting vehicles part" to character development and IC roleplaying.
Which is, of course, his next move - he is up for whatever can help him get stuff.

Yeah, need a bit of direction I think.
I'm flexible re: what you do - remember with a high lifestyle you have a car, so I actually have a car,

Once again, going from the fact that all three characters know each other rather well, both Jesse and Dagda would know that there is NO way in hell Dexter will risk his hide in a job like this. He might be mercenary, and a killing machine, that doesn't mean he's right down bloodthirsty
All in all, he'd be all in to teach a few gangers a lesson in manners (ie: Do not fuck with our hangout!), but killing them.... thats pretty much out of the question. After all, they're just misguided youths
@Play
Do our characters know the bartender's name, and if he's also the owner of the place? What do we know about the bar? Is it connected to anyone or anything in particular?
Also, what time of the day is it, and what day of the week?

Righto.
Dagda doesn't care either way, a job is a job, and he doesn't particularly care about the continued existence of people he's never met. If they didn't want to start a fight they shouldn't be jerking people's chain.
He'd be happy to go kneecap someone or just murder the bunch of them.

I just think that actually capping guys, even for 500, is REALLY low. Yea, life is cheap but DAMN!
Yeah, but this is the future man, life IS cheap. The government locks up huge chunks of the population in concentration camps, builds walls around them, and then tries to forget about it, and the rest of the population is okay with that. For some reason.
But yeah, 500 is pretty cheap. Both Dagda and I are much more about high risk, high reward things than waxing some gangers for pocket change

Also... I'm trying to figure out what else we could get form this... If we have a bar owner owing us a favor, it could be useful. Maybe we can get access to some backroom for private meeting, 24/7 I mean, might not be bad to "stake some turf" in the barrens

Hey Play, reading the OOC it seems like you are all for people jumping in, am I reading that correctly or is the game closed?
HOLY HOT DAMN!
SHADOW!
WHERE THE HELLLLLL HAVE YOU BEEN!
SHADOW!

Technically it's closed, but if as A. Mister Juan seems enthusiastic about you and B. You meet the requirements I asked for, sure, hop in.
it's about 4pm, on a wednesday. Winter, so it gets dark about 5-5:30.
You've been to the bar 3 times, and never bothered to find out the answers to any of those questions.
Life is cheap, and it's expensive. It depends on who's paying, and who's life it is.
Radiopathic. I like that.

Hey Juan, I have been around, lurking mostly and playing in Grendel's Singularity game. Let me get a character together and I will put it up, thanks Play.
In case it matters: I vouch for Shadow
Ok based on the setting, and the characters so far, and ease of inserting into the story... here is my idea.
Name: Sliver
Race: Human (Female)
Age: 30
Occupation: Professional Kick boxer
Current Location: Falling down drunk at the Devil Rat
Edited to add Full Character sheet, 450 BP

[ Spoiler ]
Say the word if it's a go, I have a fairly funny intro post.
Ok whilst I was waiting I made a few changes so if you looked at the sheet yesterday then today it would be slightly different. I got rid of Nerve Strike and added 2 levels in Penetrating Strike and 1 level of Combat Sense. It fits much better with her concept.
Do you own Arsenal?
If you're talking to me...no I don't.
Hmm, original send didn't get there.
On Sliver.
4 years in an alley, drunk? In my world she'd be out of shape and out of skill. If she were so meek why would she be a shadowrunner, and how could she be a decent one? Drunk cowards die fast in firefights. Any kind of fight, really.
I'm betting Dexter wouldn't put his life in the hands of alcoholic gutter trash.
Clean her up?

Actually, I was asking Shadow Since there are some rather interesting Martial Arts rules in there.
But this does go to remind me that when I'll have Dex use Arsenal gear, I'll mention any relevant information.
ie; the Gauss rifle halfs ALL armor before applying AP Meaning, it cuts through almost everything like the monsterous beast it is.

Do we know where these guys are? If we do, it should be open and shut, put some drones up, rape their mage if they have one (which is unlikely) then just murder them all with rifle fire from across the street.
If we are super tech, and frankly I love this idea, what we should do is get a spy drone into their hideout, then toad and I cover the doors while Dexter wipes them out by firing the gauss gun through walls at them. -6 from blind fire + 3 from AR.
They have absolutely no way to do anything at all about that.
Lots of assumptions in that plan (like they are all in one building) but conceptually we can just repeat it endlessly. It should be pretty much impossible for these guys to stop us.

Well I was thinking of the bar they were hanging out in, and the comedy of it. I can easily say,
'Sliver is a down on her luck runner who has been reduced to taking just about any job she can get, she drinks to much and is about 5 minutes from being a full blown drunk."
I do own arsenal but I just used BBB and MitS to keep it simple.
Rules wise is she good to go?

Actually, Dexter only has about 20 rounds for the gauss rifle... and they cost a bundle and have very high avail. I'd rather "spend them" on targets a little more intense than gangers
How about kicking down the door and just hosing them with full auto fire?
Silver can always finish those still standing
Yeah that works.
My other idea was find their flophouse, set the back bit on fire and just mow them down in the street as they come out, yojimbo style.

Sliver is pretty good with the stealthy killing stuff. Just about anything shy of a troll she can kill with her feet/knees.
Dex could come in the front, Sliver the back. He could open up rocknrolla style and she could get anyone trying to escape.
The added advantage of the setting it on fire plan is that everyone will run out to be murdered, meaning that we don't have to carry them very far to get them into the truck to sell on to tanamous
Erm, sorry about disappearing for the weekend. I was at my weekend job...
I will introduce a short post to explain why toad spaced out in this scene. Have some opinions on the scene so far, but will address them IC.

Stats wise she's fine, if you don't mind playing with modifiers when drunk.
Though if you keep the BG that she's been meek, drunk, and living in an alleyway for four years, I'm going to adjust your stats.
A sloppy drunk, non-skill practicing bg does not mesh up with a badass character sheet.
I need to look at the cs again to make sure I'm assessing this right, I'll edit this post if that's the case.
My point being, drunks lose in combat. Same goes for Dagda's whiskey thing.
Sounds good, consider her BG adjusted to above, been down on her luck latley and drinking on the edge of to much. She doesn't walk around drunk but she has a drink with every meal. She has been practicing her skills and keeping in shape just scrapping buy for work, sound good?

That works for me.
I like the idea of selling out the bodies afterwards. We might as well milk this as much as we can.
What we do have to be careful is that it doesn't end up “costing us� to do this.... as in, we whack for 2000 worth of gangers, but end up using 2500 worth of ammo/firepower/etc...
I'm rather confident that Jesse can find out where those guys hangout. Once we find out where that is, we'll be able to come up with some sort of plan... Altought I do like the fire thing... Only issue is burnt corpses don't sell well.
Since our wee bartender friend seems keen on counting them himself, we can either take a picture of each kill... or actually pile them up in the back of Jesse's pickup truck, and cover them with some plastic sheet

Get some medical courier stickers ;D
I am thinking of the scene from "A fistfull of Dollars" Where the bounty hunter is pilling up the bodies in the back of his wagon, doing the math as he count's each one...
Huge Eddie is the troll bouncer, not the bartender, FYI.
Fixed. Upon further review I don't see the bartenders name, so edited for generic'ness.
Huge Eddie is still not the barkeep;)
Well, she's drunk! What did you expect!
She's not drunk, that was her first drink this whole hour.

Should I assume that means we should go elsewhere to plan our OP?
Jesse is hinting to that effect.
