Well Silk ducked back inside so they should be shooting thin air! Her drone and tac net will try to trace them and plot their next time in view... And Siran may want to fry one too?
Fair enough...I guess that translates to suppressing fire ( 8 ) 9P/4I on the doorway then.

I'll keep the roll above as my summoning roll for later on if that's ok, looks like we might be in trouble now though so I'll summon a Fc 6 air spirit to cover us during the day...
Summoning 15D = 6 hits
Resist 6D = 0 hits
Drain 9D = 2 hits = no drain and 6 services, optional powers elemental attack & fear
@IOAB:
Reluctant to do much more with Silk until we hear back from Seth, Zaranthan & LostProxy...guess I'll do something if we don't hear from them by mid week or so...
I think the tacnet should be able to predict where the sec guys are going and her flyspy can track them if required...I'm a little hazy about exactly where they are though and whether they will spring out at us the second we stick our noses out of the hatch?!? Can I assume they aren't between us and the lifeboats?
Just for reference I'll make some infiltration rolls for Silk now and you can use them as need be (will try and make it clear IC when she isn't sneaking!):
16D -1D Wnds (-4 to visual perception checks, -6 to thermal)
15d6.hits(5) → [6,5,6,2,2,4,2,3,6,3,2,2,1,4,5] = (5)

Welcome on board Sabs / Fractal. If you’d like to post an introductory scene setting in the IC thread then I’ll work you into the Dysfunctional Family thread
@Everyone: We seem to have hit a bit of a speed bump with Seth off ill…I am considering starting two mini threads within the 2072 thread based on some of my Emerging threads. They will be set slightly in the future of the current April time stamps (summer 2072) so if anyone is interested then you can use your existing characters or make new ones…
eVolved will be a mostly matrix based thread (as we seem to have a plethora of hacker types in the game)…I’m not entirely sure how it will work yet so any ideas will be welcome
Emerging: Promised Land will be a baby-sitting trip getting hunted TMs from an undisclosed point to the Stillwater community on the edge of Redmond…
im down for that. wouldnt mind running babysitting overwatch with a rigger or mage ive got cooked up
I'd be up for Emerging: Promised Land. I've been kicking around a changling physical adept concept based on my love of Squirrel Girl (Warning! TVTropes link) and terribly guilty childhood nostalgia. I'm still hammering out minor details, but it sounds like a good fit for Jack Montdale AKA "The Chip Monk."
Emerging: Promised Lands sounds like a cool run, I have been bouncing around a Ork TM, Ælias. ( Æ is code Alt + 0198 if you want to type it )

I am sorry to inform you all that I will no longer be able to take part in Dumpshock games.
I have enjoyed my time playing with all of you, and have many fond memories of interacting with you.
Unfortunately as some of you know, my business collapsed this year, and I am having to deal with the fallout from that. We went from a 70 man company to 50 to 20 to none in a short time. The financial and emotional fallout from that was and still is considerable. In addition I am starting a new business. As you are probably aware, the stress levels and time requirements of a start up are severe. I am working 16 to 18 hour days, and just don't have the intellectual capacity or imagination to spare to play a RPG.
I feel bad about leaving this game in a mess, but I am just unable to devote any time to it. My guilt over neglecting my GMing and playing reponsibilities is quite considerable.
I hope to be able to start playing dumpshock in a year or two (this is my third start up...so I have a good idea how the lifecycle goes, and in a year or so the work will tail off, one way or another).
This has been quite a hard post to write, as I have quite an emotional attachment to all the people I have played with: bizarre as we have never met, but still...
I wish you all the best, and hope you are all still here in a year or two when I can come back.

I'm sorry to hear about the real life stuff, Seth. 
Best of luck with the new business, and I'll look forward to the opportunity to game with you again in the future.

@Seth: Hope the new business works out and understand only too well how much time running your own business can take. Look forward to running the shadows with you again hopefully in the not too distant future.
Been through some tough times myself, Seth. Thinking of you. Remember the Chinese: "This too shall pass."
I will be praying for you Seth. I hope to see you again some day and successful once again.

)Welcome on board Trigger. With Seth leaving us we have some juggling to do on this thread and the Suicide Kings have some decisions to make on how we resolve that part of the thread. Bear with us while we sort it out and I will push my E:PL forward to try and get it going sooner. Dysfunctional Family has some free space too and has links to the E:PL so we should have something going shortly.
@All: Any other budding GMs out there? Notsoevil, did you have something you wanted to run?
@ Aria: Yeah, I was thinking about maybe plugging Demon into E:PL with SK coming to an end. Should I maybe draft a new PC instead? I like Demon's personality, so I could always clone him and switch some stuff in and out... It might make for some interesting stuff game-wise. 
@Suicide Kings:
I propose that we assume a degree of success on the mission and leave the final result open ended. I’m not sure I was clear enough about what was going on to write some sort of ending for it so we can be vague about how it all went down… If you want to heroically kill off your PC now and start a new one then I suggest a full karma refund would be acceptable (it helps keep book keeping clear but equally I'd understand if anyone thought that it was a bit of a cheek...). If you want to continue as you are then great!
Personally I think Ember will meet with a sticky end – possibly summoning a spirit too strong for him as I have a notion that I’d like to try playing a free spirit in someone’s game
Let me know and I’ll update the character rosters at the beginning of the OoC.

@Everyone:
Matrix Game:
I’m trying for an abstract system that doesn’t get overly complicated – this is intended for a bit of light relief during the game and so that everyone can post something (if they want to) even if there are delays waiting for other players to post…if it’s not in character for you current PC to post then there’s no reason why you couldn’t have a PC solely dedicated to the game and no real need to flesh the stats out. I intend to use the game setting for the occasional meeting location on the matrix and there will be other events going on in there that will impact the real world so it’s not entirely frivolous
The Citadel Game Zone has already been established IC as the best new game of 2072 and so I’d like to expand on that. So that it potentially appeals to everyone I will say that it has multiple realms inside it (with portals between them) that allow you to play in a high fantasy genre or move to a space theme or a cyberpunk one as you choose (or any other type that you come up with…). You can play solo or in groups and PvP is perfectly acceptable as there is no risk to real characters. You can change your avatar as you see fit but need to buy a new copy of the game to change your stats (see below):
Skill: Computer or knowledge ‘Matrix Games’ used to play it legally. Hacking can be substituted if you want to cheat
Program: When you buy (pirated copies available) the game (50¥) you get a total of 20D that have to be split up over the following 5 stats, max is 6 min is 1:
I haven’t yet considered what the in-game objectives might be, most MMOs seem to be about levelling your character up but I think something more shadowrunny might be better here?!? I might steal the idea of ‘NewCap City’ from the Caprica series and have the objective obscure – you just need to live the game…or survive it

Emerging: Promised Land
I’m not going to start a separate recruitment thread as there seems to be sufficient interest here. I’m open to any number of players at the moment (although I don’t want to spread myself too thinly!). @SKs, you’d be welcome to join this if it appeals or pick up the DF action (if you can cope with doing another ‘run’ only a couple of days after the Teague debacle resolves itself one way or the other…)
My intention at the moment for this to be episodic with large gaps between as the ‘run’ will be an extended baby-sitting / travelling kind of thing (with opposing forces hot on your heals!). It also probably won’t be one big group of PCs but we’ll split you into ones/twos and perhaps at the outside a three (depending on how many of you want to play), that way the action can continue even if someone can’t post for a bit.

@Sabs: You’d be welcome on the E:PL thread or I can continue the DF thread for you and anyone else that comes along. It’s all thematically linked so no problems there, just let me know what you’d like to do!!!

i think i'll assume that MCt captures jacob and that he meets an uncertain end. Ill take the karma etc for my new mage who I'd like to have join E:PL if you dont mind?
If all the SK crew are getting fragged with the success of the operation, I'll have Demon join the KIA/MIA crew and try rebuilding him. If you guys don't mind me running a carbon copy personality of him, I might try having the new character be an escaped clone from Shiawase (based on one of his negative qualities).

Well if you don't want to do the legal thing (and I understand it's the principal of the thing
) then you can buy a pirated prog for 5 nuyen and that works exactly the same as a normal account...you could probe for weaknesses and then hack yourself a user account or you could use a variant of the spoof lifestyle rules...let's say threshold 4 to get an account. The first is probably the best way to maintain a single character I'd have thought as the others are more likely to be detected at some point but it's up to you! Maybe the spoofing route would let you bounce the avatar from one account to another so you can maintain it?QUOTE (onlyghostdanceswhiledrunk @ Nov 11 2011, 11:00 PM)

Okay, here are the basics on Gemeaux. He's a corporation's "refined" version of Demon, more assassin and less weapons specialist. If the RP sways the same way that it did in Suicide Kings, I might consider turning him into a secondary face/talker. I'll post a backstory up in a bit, but here's the foundation for the character:

Good stuff! Plenty of scope in E:PL if that interests you? Will do a call this week to see how many of you are still interested and I'll try and fill in some more gaps...
Don’t know what you want to do about IOAB? The others have all gone silent and sparky obviously isn’t going to be around. I’d like to finish it off if we can?!?
@Everyone: I've updated the 2nd post with the character links, have a quick look and tell me if I've missed you off. OGWD: Do you have your mage statted yet? Just in case I missed your post somewhere...
@Sabs and anyone else who wants in, I've renamed Dysfunctional Family to fre∑dom (the gang where it all started...). Let me know if you fancy finding out why anyone would want to round up the matrix equivalent of a wizzer gang (I'm sure there's a name for one but can't for the life of me remember what it is?!?)
I was having fun with Copperhead, so she will survive and perhaps join E:PL if that's okay?
Can I assume the following for a post-mission post on Suicide Kings:
Team successfully extracted data, but got ambushed after delivering data to Hansai
Ember and Demon got killed in ambush
Jacob got caught
Dealer and Copper got split up. Dealer was still alive when she last saw him.
Also, Ember had mentioned a Snake shaman contact - can I buy access to him with karma/cash?
I do have an idea for a run, but very busy right now. Will kick it off at the end of November.

@Aria: Looks good to me. Depending on our cast of characters, I might tinker with Gemeaux a little to shore up some of the group's weak spots.
@AC: If it looks like you're short a cast member or two, I'd be interested in playing. With Siran gone, mind if I roll a mage?
@Notsoevildm: Looks good to me, just let Demon go out gallantly. Protecting his friends or something suitably self-sacrificing.

Yep, disguise stacks (I assume the 12D was computer+edit?!?) so you look totally unlike yourself, I’d go M&S given the locale – Suits will stand out like asore thumb big target!
@NotsoevilDM:
Copperhead is welcome to join E:PL. I think we can assume with astral travel times etc that Ember could have taken you to visit the Stillwater Circle (Simon Finney is the dwarf snake shaman I believe he mentioned?!?) so that you could thank them for whatever geegaw they had turn up for you on the drone with his Ogam stone.
The connection would tie in nicely as E:PL will involve the Stillwater group. Note him on your character sheet but don’t worry about spending karma, consider it a freebie!
So for E:PL we have the current interested parties (yell if you want in and aren’t on the list!) I suggest we split a two and a three, perhaps keep Dealer and Copperhead together heading for the Eastern seaboard and the other three head for France? If Sabs is up for some double posting I’m happy for Fractal to join the first two for two groups of 3 (I don’t anticipate him buying the farm in fre∑dom – although there will be sufficient danger to be interesting!)

I think we can assume with astral travel times etc that Ember could have taken you to visit the Stillwater Circle (Simon Finney is the dwarf snake shaman I believe he mentioned?!?) so that you could thank them for whatever geegaw they had turn up for you on the drone with his Ogam stone.
The connection would tie in nicely as E:PL will involve the Stillwater group. Note him on your character sheet but don’t worry about spending karma, consider it a freebie!
So for E:PL we have the current interested parties (yell if you want in and aren’t on the list!) I suggest we split a two and a three, perhaps keep Dealer and Copperhead together heading for the Eastern seaboard and the other three head for France? If Sabs is up for some double posting I’m happy for Fractal to join the first two for two groups of 3 (I don’t anticipate him buying the farm in fre∑dom – although there will be sufficient danger to be interesting!)
- Dealer [hardcore muscle]
- Copperhead [muscle mixed with sssssnake magic]
- Gemeaux [sniper/assassin?]
- Ælias [ork TM]
- OGDWD [mage?!?]
fre∑dom
- Fractal [hacker]
- Anyone else?!?
Citadel
- Ælias [ork TM]
- Anyone else?!?
@ Aria: I think [sniper/assassin/frenchman] should cover it
Sure Fractal can exist in two realities at the sametime
He is a Fractal afterall.

Sorry I've been gone. Irl has taken a turn for the worse but ill shortly have more time to post I suspect. My mage is almost done, (had had him statted up originally for the campaign but seth asked me to play a techno) just have to add in the earned stuff and Ill have Mr. Hill ready for perusal.
Sounds good to hook E:PL wise. We're playing the same game thread right?. Who all is still active on the boat? If its down to Silk, the odds are not so good...

That's what I was thinking
been a couple of weeks I think since we saw any sign of the others...and Robert is guarding the good Capn! I think Silk could call on Aria's services in an emergency (she's a 10pt contact after all) for hacking services if required (or someone on call anyway...) but what we do about magic/muscle I guess is down to you!E:PL will be a mini thread inside 2072 if that's what you were asking? It won't really be connected to the Teague thing other than familiar faces along for the ride

Shorthand is fine! The Taxi does its stuff...
There is surprisingly little on Summer so she's not got much of a rep. There are some rumours on ShadowSEA that talk about a girl with an Alice icon, sometimes seen in the company of a hacker called Aria or someone called Silk...most are dismissed as they talk about daft things like matrix oracles and the like...very silly

No problem, post when you are ready. I'll try and work out a couple of E:PL briefing posts this week so you can all get kick started. Otherwise everyone feel free to post an IC that says something about what you've been doing between April and the E:PL time frame which will be in JUly sometime...
Yep, you nailed it. Now I jus thave to gen up an impressive series of ICs to cover the consequences...

21 hits in 4 combat turns.
As Fractal approaches the destination, he's going to be scanning for nodes in hidden mode. Looking for a runner team, or a corp hit team, etc.
he's got great range, a few kilometers, but it's a mutual signal range, but he should be able to pick up anything with a signal rating of 3 or higher. He's also looking for Smart Guns etc, that might have wireless turned on.. instead of skinlink.. etc.

@Trigger: you post all your rolls etc etc in here mate, not in the IC thread, just a heads up
@aria should have my character finished off shortly. Originally from Italy fyi in France on certain business which youll need to read my backstory for and I have a ready made reason to be helping escort TMs.

@Notsoevildm: Awesome post, and a very fitting exit stage frag grenade for my d00d.
@JxJxA: Glad you liked it!
@Sabs: your scan picks up the usual levels of wifi traffic you’d expect in a district like this. It’s residential, mostly squatters (although we aren’t deep barrens here so there’s some low lifestyles too), there will be the odd fridge asking for more milk, advertising RFID tags scattered about and low level commlinks. The buildings around you have been recently abandoned because of the attack so it’s fairly quiet now. Wherever Prospero is hiding he has concealed his wifi traffic somehow and there’s nothing left that would suggest a runner or black ops team
You can make a perception test to detect your would beambushers er, guides. They’ve both got crap commlinks but as I said, that doesn’t exactly make them stand out…
@Trigger: I suggested the Garden, which can be more or less anything you want it to be…plenty of room for irony in the game zone naming here

Perception: 10dt6, 12d6 if Visual:
5 2 4 5 2 2 2 6 2 2 2 2 (3) hits. If it's not visual, it's still 3 hits
Also, I'm activating my Knight Errants SelfDefense Package, and dropping out of VR as I step out of the Taxi cab.

Just put a intro post for Gemeaux, hope it's not too cheesy using Demon's last words as a segue into his world. I figured it was a little bit like clone/identical twin ESP stuff
Still working on the backstory, and will hopefully have it finished in the next few days.

Definitely not cheesy. I thought it was brilliant!
