Full Version: Recruitment:SR5 Introduction/Milk Run

Pages: 1, 2, 3
Slacker
Hoi Chummers. In exactly one week, the new edition of Shadowrun will be
released as a PDF. Who's excited about that?

I know there's been some voices against some of the rules changes. But I
for one reserve any judgement until I've gotten to actually play them at
the table (or virtual table as the case may be).

To that end, I'm moving forward with creating my own intro/test game here
on the forums. I'm lucky enough to have friends living in Ohio who got me a
copy of the early release at Origins. I'd like to get a group of players
that are open to the new system and want to learn more about it.

I will walk you all through the priority chargen system. Then you'll be run
through a simple Milk Run style scenario.

There's enough of the chargen rules in the SR5 previews for us to start the
chargen even before everybody can get the complete release. And what isn't
in there, I can explain for all of you and elaborate.

Also, I know Aria is currently working on an Excel sheet for SR5 chargen.
So, maybe we can beta test that some once he gets it to a more complete
point (don't harass him too much for it just yet, he's working on it when
he can).

For now, I want 4 or 5 players that are interested and have a basic concept
of what they would like to play.

You need to relinquish your handle ... we can no longer consider you "Slacker!"

I have my hands full on other games and RL so won't be able to participate, but wish you all the best in this endeavour... and will be reading with interest.

Since I am right there with you with the "reserve judgement" part, I would love to give it a try! smile.gif

Thanks Mach. Would be co if you could play in this one too. But I totally understand.

Oh and I'm still a slacker because I do all of this while I'm at work and getting paid to do other crap. Besides, this is kind of my thing. I ran a Milk Run mission back in the day with 3rd ed on here when I first got on the forums.

Then when 4th ed came out I did this same thing running a group through another Milk Run so I could get familiar with the system. That was a damnable memorable game, complete with a Troll thought of himself as a masked superhero. When the gunfight broke out he had to run to the back stock area so that he could change into his costume real quick.

Cool. Happy to have you on the team Thanee. Any ideas on what kind of character you'd like to put together?
Thanee
No, not a clue. But I like all kinds of characters, so that shouldn't be a problem. smile.gif

Maybe a Technomancer to see what's about all that hacking-in-combat stuff. biggrin.gif

A technomancer could be good. Ive got a player in my RL game that insists on being one, and I'm hoping to more comfortable with those rules than I was in previous editions.

Got room for one more?

If we're trying out the new rules, and Thanee's got the techno angle covered, maybe I can try out the magic side of things. Elven mystic adept, see how good things are for them nowadays smile.gif

Barring that, maybe a rigger to try out that new section of rules.

While we wait for a couple more players to show interest. I guess I can post some more on character creation...
Is it safe to assume everybody has already taken a look at the free SR5 Preview #3 that showed much of the chargen chapter?

Looking at that certainly isn't required, but the preview will have all the information far more organized than I will be able to do in forum posts.

The full list of stages for chargen are:
Step One: Choose Concept
Step Two: Choose Metatype (this is also where you assign attributes)
Step Three: Choose Magic or Resonance
Step Four: Purchase Qualities
Step Five: Purchase Skills
Step Six: Spend Your Resources
Step Seven: Spending Your Leftover Karma
Step Eight: Final Calculations (this is where you figure up the calculated stats like Init, Inherent Limits, Condition Monitor, etc.)
Step Nine: Final Touches (basically just getting GM approval and fleshing out the character back story)

PRIORITY TABLE (There's no Pretty way to do this in the forum, so please do look at the preview if this is hard to follow)

PRIORITY A
Metatype:Human (9), Elf ( 8 ), Dwarf (7), Ork (7), Troll (5)
Attibutes: 24

Full List of Qualities and their costs: (I'm not going to post the full text of the qualities since I feel like I'm already pushing the limits of what I can get away with posting, but I can describe what the are about if you are interested in getting something. BTW if anybody at Catalyst sees this and has an issue with how much i'm putting up here. please tell me and I will gladly remove the details. My only goal is to promote the new system and get people actually playing it).

I think that is enough for now. What else do you guys need?

I would like to play. I could go Face w/Gun.

I won't need help making characters and would be glad to assist anyone else in chargen.

I'm suddenly nervous, having 2 mods in the game...

You should only worry if you are in a game I run.

Thanee
What are the numbers in parantheses behind the Metatypes? Additional Attribute points?

Bye
Thanee
phlapjack77
Those are the special attribute points, spendable on Magic/Res/Edge (if applicable)
Thanee
Don't you get Magic/Resonance from the Magic/Resonance column?

Oh, and what is that second number after the slash for Skills?


Right now, I would probably choose the following priorities:

A - Resonance - Technomancer, Resonance 6, two Rating 5 Resonance skills, 5 complex forms
B - Skills - 36/5
C - Metatype - Human, Edge +5
D - Attributes - 14
E - Resources - 6,000¥

OR

A - Resonance - Technomancer, Resonance 6, two Rating 5 Resonance skills, 5 complex forms
B - Attributes - 20
C - Skills - 28/2
D - Metatype - Human, Edge +3
E - Resources - 6,000¥

I think you can spend those special attribute points on Mag/Res in addition to whatever you got from your Priority selection for Mag/Res. Plus there's edge to buy...

That second number is for skill groups I believe

(all info I'm giving out is me trying to figure things out too, so listen to me at your own risk smile.gif)

I never really learned SR4, only playing it once, so I want to get in early on SR5.

I wanted to play a face with a gun, but someone beat me to it, o I would like to go with something simple like a B&E/covert ops type.

You are actually exactly correct. The number in parantheses next to the metatypes are how many points you have to use on special attributes Magic/Resonance/Edge.

And for the skills, the first number is to be used on individual skills and the second number is to be used on skill groups. Of note is that at this stage in chargen you are not allowed to buy a skill group and then break it up by increasing an individual skill with skill points. Later on, when you are spending your karma you can break up the skill groups as desired.

Oh and specializations cost 1 skill point to take. At chargen, you can only have 1 specialization per skill.

Let's see, what else should i mention? Oh, for knowledge/language skills, you get the usual 1 native language, and then you get free knowledge/language skill points equal to (Intuition + Logic) x 2.

Speaking of free stuff, You also get Charisma x 3 free contact points. Contacts have the same stats as before of Loyalty and Connection requiring a minimum of 1 in each.

Any other lurkers out there like the sound of me setting up a META thread for this game?

If it's just a couple people lurking and wanting clarification of rules and such, I think we could handle that in the normal OOC thread, but I'm not opposed to keeping up a separate thread for that sort of thing.

Threading is still a Software test, however, it may be that Software is not in the group.

Software is a Technical skill, but it is a Software + resonance test for threading a complex form. I think Software is also used by Deckers, and normally based on Logic.

Software is in the Electronics group with Hardware and Computer skills.

The Thread Complex Form is a Software + Resonance test (Limite equal to the level of threading you are going for).
