EDIT: This has been rewritten in light of various new sourcebooks and rule clarifications and the opening up of the campaign on Dumpshock and ShadowGrid

***

The shadows of Seattle are only so big, the events of a run in one area may well have more than a butterfly effect on the lives of other runners at the far end of the ‘plex. This campaign / living world pbp hopes to address some of that effect by running standalone threads that share a common background / metaplot, potential contacts etc.

This is a multi IC thread game, cross forum, with two unifying OoCs, one here on Dumpshock and the other on ShadowGrid. Events in one IC can and will spill over into the others although you don't have to follow the others if you don't want to, the individual ICs will be playable in isolation...timelines will vary along with location etc but common themes/ threads will be woven throughout.

Recruitment is always open! Jump in, all are welcome!

***

This thread is an extension of the very successful 2072 thread started by Unsound on Dumpshock, [IC, OOC] and I am now opening it cross forum to attract more potential players.

ShadowGrid OoC: <<Here>>

Dumpshock OoC: You are in it!

For current IC threads please refer to the second post in each respective OoC

Obsidian Portal Campaign Page <<Stormy Waters>>

***

All three character gen levels from SR5 will be accommodated to provide players and GMs with a wide range of options. Normal folks/low powered/street level, typical runners and prime runners - for those with high powered tastes (probably once more sourcebooks are available)! In addition there will be games that use a vastly reduced statted generation as dice rolling is significantly less important in that particular thread (for example Circles of Power on Dumpshock).

In addition to players I’d welcome anyone who would like to GM within the framework of the multi-thread!

***

Character Gen
RAW applies unless specifically stated otherwise. All current books are available (including the pdf minis like Assassin’s Primer). Check with your GM if you want to use any of the optional rules.
In addition each GM will provide a freebie intro contact, who might be a fixer, Johnson or anyone needed to get the runners into the game.

Stat Lite Character Gen
Please refer to the summary posts for the individual threads where details will be available.

Street Scum
No priority A, choose twice from E, maximum gear availability is 10

Prime Runner / High Life
Choose twice from priority A, no priority E, no maximum gear availability

SR4 to SR5 Conversion
I know there will be some people who crave SR4 powers / equipment etc that hasn’t been reworked yet. For now we will keep a list of conversions for things that aren’t covered by the core rulebook, based on forum discussions and agreements within these threads. These will count as miniRAW for the purposes of this thread. They can be superseded as their equivalents come to light in forthcoming books.

Character Advancement
Every two IC posts you make will net you 1 karma and 2,000 nuyen. This means a much faster progression than is normally achieved in a pbp game. Karma and cash can usually be spent mid game (subject to your GMing agreeing), with some purchases just being retconned, some needing some IC justification.

If you are posting in multiple IC threads you can in theory allocate the karma/cash in whichever way you want. This is mostly applicable if you are posting IC information that isn’t directly from the POV of one of your characters – in the past we’ve had JackPoint type info posts, news flashes, anything that adds flavour to the game world is perfectly acceptable!

Edge Refresh
This will be down to the GM of the individual sub-thread. I will tend to refresh it for every major scene which may be slightly more often than is strictly RAW but works ok given the typical progression of pbp games.

***

House Rules and Combat Options (so far):

RG2: Target Size Modifiers will be applied. Otherwise the various additional rules from sourcebooks can be applied according to the needs/desires of the players and GM.

Spirits / sprites summoned at a level over magic / resonance will almost always roll edge to resist summoning – you have been warned!

Background count is considered to be a min. of 1 in the barrens and other locations noted by your GM but this will not generally be applied as runners are considered to have acclimatised themselves to the effects (without the need for the Homeground quality). So you know when background count does strike that the GM has something nasty in store for you!

Any questions please fire away! I’ll try and update this first post as appropriate.

Dog
Male Human Street Sam

[ Spoiler ]

Background

[ Spoiler ]

Yer looking for Dog? Why's that chummer? You realize who you're asking for, right?

Not much's known about Dog, where he comes from or what his story is. He just appeared one day in the shadows, approaching a local gang (The Blood Mountain Boys, lucky them) and with a low growl demanded a specialized BTL. Normally this would get a person a severe beating, or at least a heap o' ridicule, but Dog's appearance kept the group from laughing too loudly. Sure, Dog looked mostly normal. Medium-build human with shaggy, unwashed hair; a few tats here and there but nothing special. Wore loose-fitting faded jeans and a sleeveless black synth-jacket, bulky and definitely armored. Pair o' SMGs at his hips, a little chrome bodywork visible here and there. Normal as anyone in the Barrens, really - except for his fraggin' arm.

It looked like a cyberarm meant for an ork, maybe even a troll. Bolted on to this average sized manling, it looked massive in comparison. Must've scavenged it, I don't know anyone dumb enough to actually spend cred buying something so out of place. How he managed to even lift the blazin' thing must've been on account of all the specialized hardware it seemed to have. I figure it was why Dog always had a permanent slouch, that monster cyberarm resting fist-first on the ground and him just leanin' on it. Lookin' at the arm, your gaze was drawn to his face. Normal Barrens face, lined and seamed with dirt and grime, and his eyes...no other way to describe it, they was the eyes of some kinda animal. I can't confirm they wasn't chrome and he wasn't born with them naturally like that. If you knew Dog, you'd know why there was uncertainty about that little bit o' paydata (just don't tell him I said that).

And chummer, when I say there was uncertainty about Dog's parentage, I ain't just blowin' shine up your arse. He's an animal when he's in a fight; the Blood Mountain Boys learned fast enough when they tried to run him off. Sticks, knives, even bullets seem to just bounce off him, and when he DOES get cut, he don't even seem to feel it. Fast as a cat on a hot tin roof, he'll be on you before you can spit and'll be slicin' yer guts out with those cyberspurs o' his...nasty things, those. Look more like giant, cruel claws than proper spurs. Or if he can't get to you to get all personal-like, he'll just mow you down with his SMGs, as good with his left as he is with his right. And he'll never even blink while doing it.

Anyways, Dog don't speak much, and when he does it's some guttural slop that could be some kind of street slang. Hard to tell. Maybe the Blood Mountain Boys didn't understand what he had asked for, or maybe they did understand and just found that specific BTL a really odd choice. Whatever their reason, they didn't take him seriously at first. But they had stopped laughing after a few o' their own were lyin' on the ground bleeding, and there was Dog standing there not even breathing hard. Boy moved with such natural, animal-like smoothness, I almost didn't see the cuts that left the other gangers in the dirt cryin' for their mothers. His attitude the whole time, facing down that entire gang, it was screaming "null sheen, chummer". After that little disagreement, he had the respect of the gangers and left with his BTL and some newfound promises of work in the future. Those Blood Mountain Boys might not be cyber-surgeons, but they knew some heavy muscle when they saw it. They just had to find a way to keep this animal on his leash.

Following a couple of queries I've had about the possibility of confusing IC threads with multiple plot lines going on in them I'm going to suggest that the separate sub-threads have their own IC thread with a combined OoC here so that people can see what is going on in the 'wider world' without having to plough through IC they don't want to and risk missing a relevant IC post. I would advocate reading all the IC you can of course as events will hopefully spill from one to another...you'll just have to keep the knowledge OoC

I have a question about something that was lost from SR4 to SR5 that I am going to miss a lot with my TM and that is that the Technomancer's BioPersona is no longer able to be part of a PAN. What that means for TMs is that they can no longer run their Smartgun systems through their Persona (ie. Smartlink in gun slaved to Persona which also has the smartlink in your contacts slaved to it, allowing you to use the whole thing.) It also eliminates a lot of other things you used to be able to do with your gear. I think I am going to house rule it in any games I run, but I wanted to know your opinion on the matter.

After playing around with the rules and character creation a little more, I think I might change my concept to a Corporate Born SINner (NeoNet to be precise) decker that finally saw the light of the oppression of the megas, especially NeoNet and their development of the Grid Overwatch Division, and decided to get out and work against it from the Shadows. Still a Matrix savvy support character, he is just quite a bit better in the Matrix and has the resources to do more in the meat, as well as being a Neo Anarchist (intentional NeoNet pun). His story sounds a lot more fun for me at this time, so I am wondering if I can switch him out for Lyzabeth at this time?

Jul 19 2013, 11:10 PM

Here's a rudimentary back story for Tide. Short and sweet as is.

[ Spoiler ]

Tide was born in 2050, April 9, with the name Raphael Ambergood in the fairly xenophobic nation of Tir Tairngire. His parents were both Awakened and members of a magical group formed of Tir Paladins. Paladin of course being an awarded title for all manner of expertise and excellency within Tir society and meaning that this particular circle of Magicians and Adepts were somewhat talented. As such his own Awakening was an expected occurrence by his family despite magical aptitudes not having a known genetic marker and was a welcome event when it came to be. At the age of 14 he was indoctrinated into the magical group known as "the Spire" that devoted it's quasi-legal existence to protecting the Elven Nation (this included several attempts of political maneuvering to oust dragons from the Council of Princes, without any real success).

During this time Raphael was tutored in physical arts as a primary focus to accompany the development of his internal mana Qi flow and his tutors found in him a student who was uncompromising and focused. However, as he grew and his skills improved that same focus could at times give way to unbridled moments of frenzied rage devoid of any rational consideration. Rapheal also began to talk of dreams of a great wide darkness. Nothing wicked, corrupt or evil, just darkness, an absence of light. An all encompassing world of black and deep blue with light intruding from above in paler blue tones and flashes of white. In this place he felt an ancient and deadly presence whisper to him, guiding him to greater acts of lethality and urging him to utterly destroy those who have the temerity to try an harm him in turn. Shark had begun speaking to the young adept.

As an elf he was physically attractive and charming enough as was natural to his metatype. But he chafed under the social mores of the Tir and the look of a corporate world failed to appeal either. While he could manage well enough it was obvious fairly quickly that he had no desire to walk the path pf a socialite. This also came as no surprise to his family and tutors given his connection to Shark. Not that he lacked for ability or empathy but more that he viewed it as a necessary evil that was part of life. Far better was the training hall or a field lesson, although he was often drawn to the public nightlife of the Tir instead of the soirees his family were often invited too as Paladins.

Soon he began to stifle under the rules and regulations of "the Spire" although he still held dear to their principles and rhetoric. It seemed that their being within the Tir achieved nothing and their actions rarely went outside it's borders, at least not legitimately. It was this illegitimate and utterly deniable aspect within the Spire that drew his attention. Part that existed within the Shadows of the world and not the bright and well endorsed avenues. No connections, not attachments and nothing official. It was dangerous, dirty and would make a great demand on his abilities and talents... and yet he longed for it. So that's what he did.

Raphael left behind home and family and the dojos and training halls of his tutors and the Spire and wrapped himself in the shadows of Seattle. A fake name with a SIN to match "Robert Fellows" was provided while another name for the streets he chose himself. "Tide" just like the pull and ebb of that great darkness he dreamed about, where Shark spoke to him.

Now for several months he's been a 'Runner in Seattle. He's worked with a few different teams, but now it seems he may have found one that'll stick.

I'm interested by the similarities and differences between Wootz and Dog. Curious, the variations possible on the same base team role. You can definitely see a difference in how each plans to behave, based on their ware and stats.

Although I find it interesting we both took Internal Airtanks (both at R2, to boot), and Datajacks. I figured those would be somewhat unusual picks for a Sammy when I took them, but I guess either I was wrong, or maybe just great minds think alike.

Dog's pretty much complete now and ready to roll.

Thanee, I see you also found the awesome-sauce that is the new Focused Concentration. The equiv of a R5 sustaining focus that can be used for any spell and can't be taken away or shut down like a focus...this looks like THE must-have quality for anyone that can sling some mojo.

Also, interesting: It's weird that the Inc. Ref. adept power says it doesn't stack with magic or tech, but the Inc. Ref. spell doesn't mention any stacking limitations. Your character's sitting on a potential +16 Init, +5d6, not counting att boost(REA) . Scary!

I'm still a little unsure about how that Adrenaline Boost is supposed to work... since it is an action to activate, it will be used during the combat turn, i.e. if I roll 25 for initiative, I can then activate Adrenaline Boost 3 to act in 31 (using my Free Action for the IP, if not surprised)? But can I also activate it during my turn; i.e. on 25: activate; then act again on 21 / 11 / 1?

Bye
Thanee

Moirdryd

Jul 24 2013, 09:40 AM

The Answer Thanee would be yes.

If I have my initiative of 1D6 + 10 and get a 15 and then on my first IP open up my boosts then I got to init 21. At the end of the pass -10 is applied meaning I now have init 11 for pass 2 and init 1 for pass 3.

Moirdryd

Jul 24 2013, 10:04 AM

Although I have noticed an error on my sheet that I shall have to correct.

Thanee

Jul 24 2013, 11:14 AM

Is it just me, or is Adrenaline Boost 5 pretty good then? You can choose to act twice in a row.

And what happens if you have Adrenaline Boost 6 and activate it on your turn?

There really isn't any specific text formatting required. Many games default to using:

Anything spoken should go in "quotes" and I like the colour Cyan
If the dialogue is in any language other than English use red
Conversations over your comlink are in "quotes" and yellow
Text messaging and emails are in orange, but italicized and wrapped in <<angle brackets>>
Internal monologues or thinking are tan and italicized

Yeah, I'd noticed other SR forums use different formats. I could swear I saw a guidline thread somewhere on Dumpshock a while back, but I'm not finding any traces of it, so I dunno.

Thanks though! Best to just go with whatever the GM wants, huh?

The IC thread is live.

Before you ask. Yes I know the opening is rather simplistic, but this is supposed to be a simple mission to test out the game system. I promise the next mission will be more in depth and likely link to one or more character's backgrounds.

Please preference any OoC posts with "@FastFoodFight:[character_name]", so that it's easily identified in this shared OoC thread.

Slacker, just to be awkward, can we identify the IC thread as belonging to the 2075 'family' in the title? [2075 Game World Thread] or something similar...so that 2075'ers not on that thread can still track it...?!?

Sorry, I should have thought about that. Yeah. that is fine with me though it doesn't let me edit the thread title.
