Digital Heroin
Alright, a few simple ground rules I'd like to see everyone adhere to for the IC thread. Please try to avoid font color changes, as my eyes aren't exactly all they're cracked up to be, and I'm finding I have to copy/paste text for readabiliy. Also, please try to remember not to use signatures in the IC thread. Dice rolling can either be done in this thread, or in Spoiler tags in the IC thread.

Anything you need that you don't want to keep secret from the rest of the group, talk it here. If you want to keep secrets, well this is that odd game that encourages some. Just PM me in those cases.

IC for Liberation can be found here.
The Recruiting thread was here.
Shadow
DH, you mind if I make up details of the cabin they are all in?
Digital Heroin
Don't mind at all... just keep in mind while it may have some sweet amenities compared to prison, it's still on a sub, so very cramped...
Johnson
Well its better than prison, its cleaner. It Luxuary even though its cramed.
aeon
this is going to be a nightmare for my character smile.gif
I'll post my char in here and more when I am home again tonight, just so we know what we are working with.
aeon
Alright, i'll post the facts of my char "Blue Ice". He was called like that by others, but he will go by nearly every name you give him - he doesn't really care about that, but you will see smile.gif
He is a shamanic sorcerer following Sky Father

[ Spoiler ]
Johnson
Mack just having a peruse around the room in the sub for cameras mikes and any other survailance equipment.

Perception

Digital Heroin
If you thought your movement was restricted on the freighter, the sub is far worse. There's actually someone posted at the entrance to the cabin. Aside from that, there is no sign of surveillence. The crew has more important matters to attend to, and likely they're under contract not to pry into the lives of their passengers.
Digital Heroin
Anyone looking to type the accent, Intelligence roll. Otherwise, for now it seems quiet is key. I'll be posting an arrival/intro tommorrow hopefully.
Kayne
Aamon's intelligence roll: 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 3.
Digital Heroin
For anyone who gets at least one sucess, the accent is Slavic.
Kayne
What difficulty?
Digital Heroin
Standard 4.
Whizbang
How do you roll dice around here, anyways?
Johnson
I use the NSCRG dice roller. If find it gives you and even spread. I have written a dice roller as well in my starting years.
Digital Heroin
Roll by whatever method you like, and post the results here, or in the case of something that's part of a post in a spoiler tag at the bottom of the IC post.
Kayne
And of course, if you cheat, you're just cheating yourself. smile.gif
Digital Heroin
A pint for anyone who can guess where they're at based on my shoddy description...


Ok, so this was a bump more than anything...
Kayne
Snow Crash, and make it ginger beer. smile.gif
Johnson
Siberia. Make that a Guiness
aeon
as long as it is no arcoblock from P. in the middle of nowhere wink.gif
anyway, I am not home right now and will be offline for most of the next week. Sorry about that, think Im back next Tuesday or Wednesday. Expect posts from me then.

Johnson
We will keep your seat cold.
Shadow
I am going to say a Oil Drilling platform of some kind.
Shadow
Hey DH I don't have my character here at work. Randy would like to be intimidating as she stands there. Can you either roll for me or give me the number so I can roll.
Digital Heroin
There's the mission, that should kickstart things a little.

RE: The Map, it's the one on page 133 of SoE, nothing too fancy.
Johnson
What does SOE stand for as this is the first time i heard of this acronym. I have the Abbreviation list but its not on it.

I am activating my Camera to take picture of the verious screen as referance to our task to be taken.
Kayne
Shadows of Europe
Kayne
Alrighty then. Looks like nobody's going to get the ball rolling. ::Gets out CC and SR3::
Brilliant.

Can I have these:
Browning Ultra-Power and 100 regular pistol rounds. 725
Ranger-X Bow (Min. Str. 7) with an accessory mount, a laser sight, 20 standard arrows, 20 barbed arrows. 2200
Camo Full Suit (Black) (5/3), FFBA (Full) (4/1), Helmet (1/2) (if you'll allow it) 3450
Medkit 200
Pocket Flashlight 20
3 sets of normal clothes 150
Multi-Tool 200
Peace of Mind: Priceless

Do you want me to roll for these, or go through IC stuff, or are we all getting this through Spider?
Digital Heroin
I lost focus, been on course, and working on the last chapters of my first novel. Those would be excuses though, so I offer an appology.

Anyone still in, toss me a list such as Kayne's (which seems alright to me, no worries about rolls). I was going to run a series of contact workings and such, but it would be pointless drag on writing, so I'm looking to advance out of ship city, and on to the real task at hand.
Johnson
K I will post today later or by tomorrow I have a day out the office with some client doing a site inspection for a new network which needs to be installed. This is going to time consuming but I hope to at least put up a post a day.
Johnson
alright first question....

Street indexes are they in use ? if not are we useing straight prices from the SR3 and other books.

What good are availabile here or can we pick and choose?
Whizbang
still around as well...waiting on the answer to Johnson's question before making up a wishlist.
Digital Heroin
Regarding avaliability, provide a list, and I'll evaluate what would be possible to acquire. Keep in mind in a place like this, you might actually find some unlikely items. Street index need not apply.
Kayne
Assault Cannons, away! smile.gif

Just reporting in.
Johnson
Firstly I must appologise as I said I would have a list of what I would be needing posted by the end of yesterday. So issues at work require my management skills. please bear with me for the next two days. As I need to investigate an enquiry concern some report backs.
Whizbang
hmm...a wishlist...

Rudger Thunderbolt (with laser sight) (or Predator or Browning if that's too much)
pocket secretary (not essential...but while we're replacing belongings...) smile.gif
Ares Monosword (if I can't have a weapon foci)
Weapon Foci (though I seriously doubt you'll let me have it but this is a wishlist)
5 clips for available weapon (2 ex explosive, 3 gel)
Highest available commlink (gotta stay in touch...)
Goggles (low light & thermographic) (it gets dark out there...)
Small rucksack (gotta carry stuff somehow) smile.gif
Binoculars (for distance casting)
Armor Jacket

hmm...all I can think of at the moment
Shadow
For Randy,

Form Fitting BA III with Thermal dampening lvl 4.

Secure Longocat with Non condcutive level 4

Some good boots and clothes.

A cougar short blade, dikoted if possible.

A few thousand in local currency.

Some low light Sunglasses. And whatever comlink system the group gets as a whole.
Digital Heroin
Regarding the foci, and in general high ticket items, you are rather on a budget here. Money was provided to cover costs, and Spider is providing contacts, but he is just the middle man, so he won't be providing gear directly, or for free.

Other opporotunities for gear acquisition will come up along the way, but for the moment you're still a little cash strapped. As far as list approvals go, I'll be reviewing what I have tommorrow night, and my lead in to the real meat and potatoes post will follow.
Johnson
Well I have some simple things to ask for.

Secure Long Coat 650
Hand Held Cell 50
3 Sets Ordinary Clothes 150
Long blade Knife 30
Browning Max power- Smartgunned 900
Conc Quick draw holster 150
2 Clips (10) Hollow Points 110
3 Clips (10) Regular 75
2 Clips (10) Gel 70
1 Small Rucksack 100

Total 2285 nuyen.gif
Whizbang
Ah yes...now to go back over the wishlist, and bring it down to something a bit more realistic...
Johnson
Well money is tight and things are going to cost money later down the line. So some spare cash is needed for reserves.
Digital Heroin
I have the distinct feeling I've failed you guys with this game. I got too focused on having a sweeping plot, when all that does is draw things out, and make it too easy to lose focus on the run itself. Hell, just the setup took too long, and I'm to blame for it.

Liberation seems to have been too ambitious, and not thought out enough for that ambition. I still want to GM, but I'm not sure this game is going to work out.

Thoughts?
Johnson
Well I have enjoyed all but I have found that some of the other posters have had some RL experiences.

I was enjoying the plot of this whole run, not sure about the others..
Digital Heroin
I've had my own wrinkles with RL, but nothing which should have constrained me as it did. I was admittedly distracted by working on my novel. Thankfully, after two years the rough manuscript is complete, and as soon as it's typed, I'm setting it aside for a little while, so it's fresh for when I edit.

If Liberation is doomed to die, I have plans to start a more traditional game. Nothing as constrained as Liberation was for starting, and perhaps with a more established group.
Johnson
Hey DH what ever you want to do, I just hope you let me know when you start the traditional game. Or if you want to carry on here.
Digital Heroin
I'll let you know, and people who've played in any of my games and can still tolerate my crappy ass GMing are going to get precidence when it comes to selection of character -if- there's a new game. Hell, I'm all for keeping a lifeline on Liberation and running a new game, if that's what people want.
Johnson
Well DH. Your games was my first PBP. I was enjoying it waiting to come to work and read what was going on, and posting replys...
Shadow
Sorry DH. I I of all people know that sometimes games just dont work out. Theres a million and one reasons for it to. I look forward to your next outing.
Digital Heroin
Spent the day soul searching, er... well, dodging paying attention to my classes on the duties of a Brow Watchkeeper... and decided a new try is probably for the best. I have a concept in mind, a semi-established team that's done at least two runs together (members may have deeper ties to one another), and has gelled fairly well, offered a fairly free hand in accepting or denying offers, as there will be no less than six runs avaliable in the early stages (it will get more focused as time passes). The runs won't be overly complex at first, but there's going to be consequences for every action, and even success may bring trouble... basically it's an extended campaign made of smaller scale runs.

Liberation involved an extraction, border smuggling through several countries, dealing with cultures completely to the runners... it was too grand for board play, or likely for me to run at all...
Whizbang
Wasn't sure my char was right for Liberation anyways...he still had the police mindset to get over. He probably would have been better suited for providing security for a datasteal or mabey a theft. An escort mission would have been best. But not an outright kidnapping.
