I assume that Mad Max is the leader of the Warlords but does Ghost know that?

Make and post your rolls. Consult the chart below.

Seattle Gangs(0):

Should I default to Intelligence or Intuition? I don't have Seattle Gangs as a knowledge skill.

Charisma(2) + Loyalty Terra(1)= 3d6.hits(5) 1 hit

INT(4) + Knowledge Seattle Street Gangs(2)=6d6.hits(5) 2 hits

Charisma (4) =Loyalty (1)=2 hits

Athena, goddess of Wisdom & Battle.

Intuition -1

I'll post the roll once I get home. The work network isn't going for invisible castle.

Just to be clear, Athena is standing behind the team, so if he is looking at her while talking to Doc, his back is to Doc.

Somehow I missed that Athena was behind them. I will edit the post.

-----

Intuition 3 + Seattle Gangs 0 + Defaulting (-1) = 2
[6,5] = 2 hits

Wow! Wasn't expecting that.

Follow up edited as well.

I have created a reference thread HERE. A map of the Barrens has been posted. I will follow up with neighborhood maps in the future as well as NPCs.

Please do not post in that thread without prior approval. My goal is to keep it neat and clean so that you have a very few number of posts. I will update posts more often than add new ones once I get the basic of Maps, NPC, etc all created. I will comment here when there are changes.

Nice.

cool beans.

@Saytr

Don't you mean following Ghost and waiting on Hawk?

I know i am not Satyr but,

Hawk had stood and asked his last set of questions. He is waiting for a response before he walks out the door.

If everyone agrees, I will bump the scene to Stump's.

Sounds good to me. And don't forget that Hawk Disarms the anti-theft system on the bike. I sure would hate to take massive stun damage so early in the run

Go ahead and jump to Stump.

jump to stump and i will edit my post stating that i will follow my ride lol. sorry about that.

I created a Google Map of Redmond, Marking Points of Interest. I added markers for Lucky Pawn, Doc Phin's Clinic & Ugly Bob's. As more POI are required, I will add them as well. I itemized this link on the Reference Thread

saw that lol figures Lucky pawn is only a hour from my gym in shnomish lol.

Clinic posted on the map.

Composure
Willpower 5 + Charisma 3 = 8
[3,4,5,2,6,1,6,4] = 3 hits

@Redjack
While looking at the rounds from the Ingram clips i want to look them over or possible defects. Let me know if you want a roll.

So i don't forget later:

The plan i am thinking about is having Athena hack the Doc Wagon bracelets of a few people equal to the number of vehicles this particular clinic can support plus two or three and having them all go off randomly within a 3 minute period. Once the vehicles are out of the clinic vicinity we could move in. This way there are less people to deal with incase we do have to shoot.

@Redjack

Post #115 in the IC thread. Is Zion a typo meant for the payullps game or did i miss something?

@Alex - Noted

@LordArcana/Saytr - Make either an armorer roll or a firearms rolls (as appropriate; Substitute Logic for the Agility)

@LordArcana - Athena => noted; Zion => Fixed

Firearms Roll

Logic(2) + Firearms(4) = [6,2,4,1,6,3] = 2 hits

OK i just read the last post by Redjack where stump tells hawk where the rucksacks are. A few key details have been discovered. I'll post again tomorrow mid morning with a reply...i need a little RL time to process.

@RedJack

The rucksacks stump mentioned...neo-urban v3 camo...are they just cloth camo or are they "special"? Cloth is fine, i just don't want to pay 300 for a bag.

Excellent question. The answer is all fluff. I was thinking how the military is using yet another camo pattern. Then I thought about how in 58 years there will be several more changes in both military and 'civilian' versions. So, that is just the name for the current urban (black/white/bluish) pattern.

@ All
Ghost's conspiracy theory side is poking out from under the tinfoil hat in this post.

@Alex

It never gets old though. I love it.

@Everyone

Sorry for the short novel IC. I have so much floating around in my head its tough to get it all organized and written down.

@Redjack

Did Doc Phin transfer the 200 ?

No.

@Redjack

This might sound foolish but just making sure i didn't miss something. Was the 200 yen Doc Phin mentioned upfront replaced by having Stump front us gel rounds or did we just leave his office before getting the cred?

@Redjack

Upto the others but i think hawk has everything needed from the Lucky Pawn. Cash me out and i'm golden. Not trying to rush Alex or satyr. Take as much time as you two need.

Athena: I want to be clear about her. She is an NPC and also happens to be a team member (at least at the moment). As such, she will have limited recommendations about strategy. Furthermore, I try to play her to her personality write up and her knowledge skills. She will tend to be indecisive since she is an NPC, always defaulting to the PCs about strategy for a run.

Pay: You did leave the office without the cred, but I won't be harsh about it. Luck is with you that he was not giving it to you directly anyway. You will understand in my next IC post. Of course, such details in the middle of the run will be a little harder for you to work out.

So to be clear, I don't like to assume any details. If your character has applicable knowledge skills, I will sometimes prompt for a skill check but I usually default to the player. A great parallel I like to draw is that we are all human (or meta-human). No matter have much of a 'pro' we think we are, we all sometimes forget little things and we all sometimes make unprofessional mistakes.

HERE is an example where a player missed a number of subtle hints that things were going wrong and is about to have to deal with a run potentially falling apart.

That said, my job is challenge you and hopefully make it fun for everyone. Always remember this is Shadowrun. My Table-Top team is moving to their 4th city because they tend to forget that. They also have had several team members replaced and burned a number of edge points to stay alive. Bad choices (as well as unlucky ones) can lead to bad consequences. On the flip side, if you stick to the core rules of Shadowrunning, (as is witness by my other pbp games) you will usually do well.

Advice read...noted...printed...highlited...and taped to the side of my monitor.

Thank you

Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching. I sometimes get on that soapbox and its a while before I realize I'm there.

On a side note: You guys are maintaining an amazing post rate and these characters are gonna make a great (if not dyslexic) crew.

FYI: Don't get discouraged on me if mine drops off for a bit. Crazy projects at work and I will be completely offline parts of next week.

Excellent. A little paranoia goes a long way in Shadowrun.

a lot of paranoia and you stay alive forever though lol.

@REDJACK

its all good playing the table-top with you and the guys was always a blast i wish i could do i again i always enjoyed it. maybe i will run into my name while here lol if i haven't already.

i will keep all that you said in mind while playin i would like to get zion to prime if possible and my other pbp character i would like to make a bad ass lol.

I have read, re-read and read this over again just making sure i didn't miss anything. I would like to ask and comment on a few things just to make sure I am on the same page.



I would expect nothing more or less. As a GM controlled NPC i would feel almost cheated if she lead us around like on a leash.



I feel like a complete shithead for not confirming this before we moved on. I hope that was the plan all along and not a moment of generosity on your part RJ. I sometimes forget overlook the fact this is play by post and not table top. There are some subtle differences and i promise i am trying to catch up on the lingo, style and system you are using.



Forgive me please but i am not sure exactly where this came from. Are you saying that you want the players to automatically make rolls in OOC regarding their actions in IC? If thats the case i will do my best to improvise the situation. Normally i just figured that if you have related skills and are doing mundane tasks that for simplicity sakes you or the players just describe what goes on and *poof* done. I guess for example going from Doc Phins to Stumps...technically a pilot groundgraft could be warranted but i just assume if you have the skill such a task doesn't warrant a roll.

If my IC actions warrant a roll and i don't provide one in OOC please feel free to kick me in the ass. Not trying to make excuses but this system is still a little new for me. I'm a long standing D&D person and haven't played much SR in a long while.




I love that game, infact it was the first one i started following. Then i got hungry for more and started catching up on others.

hehehehe
Actually, this was idle ramblings on my part. I usually try to anticipate if there is an appropriate skill roll required and if so post it OOC for my characters. In a pbp game that can speed up play by days. That said, rolls are not needed for absolutely every use of a skill. You example of pilot groundcraft is a perfect example where it was not needed (unless I threw something out of the ordinary in the drive over).

We're all good. I just wanted to ramble some elements of game play philosophy. The older I get, the more I believe that it is better to say what may be known by all than *assume* we are all in sync and find out we are not.

Currently we are playing Serenity, but when we restart they are headed to Vladivostok.

To this day, "Take me to your leader" is one of the favorite game quotes.

I'm good for a jump to the restaurant unless Val needs to go somewhere else first.

I was thinking that Val needed to make a decision/offer on the Ingram and then we are ready for the bump.

Satyr - We can finish working out your conversation with Stump simultaneous while working through the Ugly Bob's scene.

@Redjack

Just so i don't cry foul later...

Stump is giving us the front money that Doc Phin promised. I assume because the doc couldn't raise the yen himself in such a short notice. Can we use the credsticks to pay for purchases over the cost of the gelrounds?

Yes, Stump is giving you the front money from the Doc. Two clips of GEL rounds are included for each of the three, free. Any rounds above and beyond would cost. The 100 has also been deducted for the bags, masks and patches.

Ok so i am writing down 1 certified credstick with 100 on it. Out of curiosity can standard commlinks access credsticks to transfer funds directly to a persons account or does that need to be done at a bank? Just how much of a pain is it to use a credstick out in public?

from my understanding credsticks are the preferred method of payment if not wireless transfers cert. cred sticks are used anywhere by anyone.

well i ask because i 'thought' i read somewhere that credsticks are a bit outdated in the wireless world. They are excellent of not leaving a datatrail but were becoming obsolete. There was a thread about it in the last weeks, i hope i am not confusing my info with that.
