Where is this rule from? I've never seen it before and just checked again and closest I found to it is the rule about not having more bound spirits than your charisma. Didn't find anything about a limit to the number of services owed though.

I also think that there is no such limit for max. services.

Bye
Thanee

At least for summoning, it is your rating in summoning.

I have DanielKnight's excel character sheet.

Made me decide to take 6 in summoning and 4 in spell casting.

One thing about PBEM, is that it helps me as a GM understand the mechanics better after having to use them as a Player.

OK checked SR4A and could not find any restrictions on the number of services in the magic section.

Did find it in character creation so I think that limitation only applies to spirits bound during character creation.

Sorry about the confusion


Earligold PS F5 3 services

GrandFather SOM F3 bound 6 services

Reminder: Invisible castle needs to be used for all rolls. Please insure that you use the same Character Name so that the rolls link through historically.

In the campaign, please simply enter: Puyallups

Also, unless you pay the karma to begin with bound spirits, all binding tests must occur in game.

PPS: Please turn off signatures when posting.

I just realized that the Invisible Castle notes I posted (cut-n-paste) were outdated. Invisible Castle supports naming a campaign. Simply use: Puyallups

Jazz
1) Comforts: 1, Entertainment: 2, Necessities: 3, Neighborhood: 3, Security: 3, Extras: Nosy Neighbors -2 = 2,000
2) Comforts: 3, Entertainment: 1, Necessities: 3, Neighborhood: 2, Security: 3, Extras: None = 3,200
3) Comforts: 2, Entertainment: 2, Necessities: 2, Neighborhood: 1, Security: 2, Extras: Workspace +1 = 2,000
4) Comforts: 2, Entertainment: 0, Necessities: 3, Neighborhood: 0, Security: 3, Extras: No neighbors +1, escape tunnel +3 = 3,200
5) Comforts: 3, Entertainment: 2, Necessities: 3, Neighborhood: 2, Security: 2, Extras: None = 3,200

* Given what I believe I know about Jazz, you may consider bumping the entertainment to at least 3 to keep from getting nickled and dimed to death during game play.

Yep, Entertainment 3 is a must.

Looking through RC, I guess I will have to spend a bit more on Lifestyle than I thought... but since it also includes entertainment, clothing, and everything, that should be ok.

All in all, I think the following would be perfect...

Comforts 3, Entertainment 3, Necessities 4, Neighborhood 2, Security 3, Extras: none

Soo... something akin to 2) with upgraded Entertainment and Necessities 4 would be perfect.

That would be the lowest Middle Lifestyle (5,000¥), which seems about right, I guess, and should be doable.

Thanee

I still owe my final character sheet.

Where are we at otherwise?

kvasac checked in and in working crazy hours till the end of the week.
I think Satyr is processing back into the US. May take another day or two to get online.
I am going to try to review SleepIncarnate's character sheet tonight.

On the plus side, I think we are about done with Thanee's between run stuff except for how she's gonna pay for her new lifestyle..

Ok. The final player has posted into the game and Midnight is sure going to keep the team on their toes. I think Midnight's character sheet is done leaving the final copy due from cndblank. Everyone has till Saturday to wrap up pre-meet stuff then I bump us, making up the in between myself for anyone stuck in transit.

That's Jenny Midnight.

Good idea with the reference.

Thanee

Bam!!

Puyallups Game Reference

Thanee beat me to the post!

Ok. To keep the game lively and from analysis paralysis, I have bumped us up. Everyone please post themselves to the booth. I hope I've provided enough atmosphere to give you some room for a good entrance post. Please be sure to include comments about your character's appearance and some mannerisms to give your team mates a first good feel for your character and first impression for them to respond to. By next weekend (realtime), I will post pulling the team together, possibly giving you one more post before meeting your Johnson. Feel free to post in response to the arrival/conversation from other arriving players.

Speaking of lifestyle cost... how much should I deduct for lifestyle this month?

I already have 2k prepaid from chargen, so 3k in addition? Considering it is basically for half the month, that would make sense, too.

Bye
Thanee

I forgot she just arrived days ago... Yes. That is perfect!

Sorry for the delay. Things should be goinf back to normal and then I'll be of the grid from 25th-31st due to Book Fair. After that there should be no more delays.

@Kvasac - Welcome back!

@Thanee - I didn't remember Jazz having a black SUV...?

She had that from the beginning (Atlanta game).

BTW, Jazz is human, not elven.

Bye
Thanee

Here's a picture of Jazz made by Gray (who was one of the original players here).

Bye
Thanee

GM Fail.

Complete and utter GM fail. :shamed:

Well, it was pretty easy to miss, and she used her bike all the time in this game so far.

Bye
Thanee

It's a stealth SUV

That it was!

Wow. Four days and no player posts. Am I fast forwarding too much? Everyone good with the pace I am setting in the IC?

Bye
Thanee

Well like Kit said, she needs the cred and is a newbie.

So she is in.

Best thing a newbie can do around a Johnson is keep quiet.

I'll be plenty vocal later.

I've been really busy with work lately, we all just got a bunch of additional tasking turning our 9-11 hour days into 12-14 hour days, plus the mile-ish walk one way to and from work, so yeah, I'll try to get on it. Try to negotiate with the J for a better price, when I get the time, but was also waiting to see if anyone else wants to start it or if I should. Guess I AM the face now. Anyways, I'm actually typing this from work and getting ready for brief so I'll look at it again after I land. Yay deployed life.

No problem, this is a 1 post/week game. I was just surprised that there weren't any posts after 4 days.

Judging from Thanee's response here to that remark (and Jazz's remarks IC) I'm guessing she and I (the two most likely faces) were both waiting for the other (or someone else) to jump on it first

I'm glad that we have laws against that... more than 10h per day is not allowed!



Heh. Mine's about 40 miles... good thing I do not need to walk!

I would definitely prefer a one mile walk, though. Maybe next year, I really just need to find a decent enough flat close to work.




Maybe we can get some teamwork bonus dice.

Bye
Thanee

I'm happy to role play or roll play the negotiations as you see fit.

Thanks, SleepIncarnate, I like totally misread Redjacks last post (gonna edit mine now).

You might want to revisit your post as well now.

Bye
Thanee

Makin me edit mine..... indeed. *shakes a fist in mock indiginant rage*

Well, I don't think we can really speak for all at this point (hardly knowing them), so best wait a bit so all can chime in (and be it only to nod their agreement).

Bye
Thanee

Let's try and wrap up the meet before Thanksgiving.
