From Hobbe's post it looks like he would be giving Karma anyway, it would just be an option to spend cash for more. Did I misread the post?

Slip

I feel strongly both ways.
-Karma rewards for Good RP
-Cash for Karma

If we are casting votes between these two options, mine is for good RP is rewarded with Karma.

If it is Cash for Karma excluding RP awards, then I would be uneasy. That would be a real incentive for our PCs to earn for the gang but the focus would be shifted from the RP too much.

Just my thoughts, thanks for listening.

Also, With the date/location stamp that WinterRat1 has suggested, would each player post that or would it only be in GM posts?

I like all the formatting conventions but I hope I don't get pelted with rocks for slipping up hare and there. I am bound to.

Everyone date stamps. If you want an example check out one of the Living in the Shadows IC threads. We do it in there. It really helps keep things in order.

So right now we are:

00:12:34 Saturday 09 April 2063 – Puyallup - Serpent Turf - Serpent's Lair - Rooftop

...or something.

Could we use blue so it looks a bit different than the other game? I think that might be helpful for those who participate in both.

Thanks Slip!

Not a problem FlipShow. I am ok using whatever color you guys want.

Hey this is HOBBEGOBLIN I am just over at Cyd's place.
I have looked at all arguements and go with my first impression, Which is to Award Karma.....

And I like the Date Stamp Idea... Lets go with

Yellow because it's easier to see.
00:09:43 Somewhere in Loveland

Sounds good.

Slip

Sounds good.

What's next?

Edit: Heh.

Just a side note

Know whats kinda funny? At least to me?

I live and work in Loveland....

Loveland, Colorado.....

I am going to be gone for the weekend as I am most weekends, so if you need to NPC me to move the plot along go right ahead.

Ok....Kharma time
Everyone roleplayed excellently, and posted in a timely matter so, I am awarding everyone 6 kharma points. I am awarding 1 extra to Mugzy, he pulled off being on the spot magnificently. All of you have done great rp and i have enjoyed this week, looks to me this is going to be a very good and long campaign.

I'm going to have to say no too. Buying karma in my experience can drasticly alter game balance, imagine what would happen if I had 30 spare karma for Mitch, and with him being in collections which should for a gang be a pretty active department, and you said we get cuts of each score, thats alot of money for karma, probably more than you'd want us to have...

Yeah...i'm just going to award it out...see above.

Ahh.. After a weekend of frozen truck engines and broken tow straps, I'm back for the week, and I'll post soon.

Im really lookin forward o see what comes the next day Hobbe. This campaign has a certian level of intensity that I find awesome.

Yes it is.. I cannot wait to see what the next day is to hold. (having PC's run the show per say) I like the fact that we can all just RP what ever for our missions and we don't have to answer to Mr. Johnson or have someone else tell us what to do. ( to some extreme.. we do have jobs, but have freedom to make up how we go about those jobs ) That is great, I can remember other runn's waiting in an alley for Mr. J wondering what he had in store, just to fullfill his own goals (sometimes given by others / yet still given) Here our own ambitions guide our twisted minds (and spirits) to what ever purpose...

Yeah, it rocks like a night witch.

These posts are always fun to read.
Good job, guys.

WooHoo, I can post again....man I am lagging behind.

I am extremely happy from last weeks game. I've played alot of games but, never with this much roleplaying or the depth of roleplay i should say. Cydlexia and I in PnP have tried but, it usually ends up combat heavy...sorry fuhok, you like to destroy stuff in person so, it carries over usually. I am excited to see how the week goes. That was only a night in the life of a serpent and a good day at that.

OK, I think I corrected my time post to bring our conversation in sync Flipshow. Also, I have nothing more to do at the party except maybe a quick post describing Lee leaving; so feel free to fast forward anyone who'll be at the meet. As a general note to people who are new to PBP, it's usually a good idea to let people know that you'll be moving things forward or are ready to be moved forward so you don't inadvertantly overrun people.

Yah, I am running behind (sorry heavy work day today and I want to put a lot into my next post) so my next post will likely go from what I do at the party, through to the next morning. Though I don't think I have an pressing business yet other than to talk to Kaze, but that can be done whenever.

Sorry Rat no doubt you refer to Rasta... No biggy, he is some what of a mystic PC anyway.. So there will be a lot of things I think he does off the page of the game, Thats the way he is set up ( plus I like to write, and story tell so you will get a lot of detail that has nothing to do with any PC's other than my own, Nothing personal to any I just have to much stuff floating in my skull so I write it down. Take your times)... I wasn't going to do the next day only early morn, until all where with me. I got the Idea as I sat around last night, and I have sever ADHD (and ex-substance use) leave it be and it is gone. ( ask Fuhok about my attention, it has it moment's I think once I got 2hrs in on one task.... I think? )

lol... that last part sounded a bit quer not intended as such. ( Mental note flick Dane off next time you see because I know theres goeing to be a wise ass remark in repercussion!)

thats ok hobbe. me and cyd have had some good long campaignes with lots of RP.
but you do have to admit all RP and no action can make for a dull game but so can all hack and slash.Just remember the golden rule....all work and no play makes Johny a dull boy

I think our longest campaigne lasted about 2 years

ohh yeah it's people i brake in person not stuff

posted. new day

I toned down my original post a bit, let me know if anyone thinks I need to tone it down some more.

Hey- Well, Im not sure if we're stting up a meet or whatnot, but I dont know if crash was supposed to be anywhere. And if I dont know, you can bet your left nut he doesnt know either.

Anyone want to "drop on by the serpent's pad?" cause theyre in the neighborhood?

Everyone in the game can do what ever they want... (Tatsu is the only one who set up a meeting with Dane and Lee to my knowledge) this is more of an A-typical SR game. Talikng to Hobbe.. he says DO what ever you want, he will roll with it... So if you want to hold up the the stop and shop.. he will roll with it, if you want to go down and check out that track in FT turf.. he will roll with it... Us as player tell this story, thats why the Rasta write's in about killing rats or feeding chicken to his snake, it has no context but so far thats his story... Whats your?

That is correct Cydlexia....it is all of yalls's stories ( and yes damn it i am a southerner) You all have contacts...hint hint. I had this in mind as the atypical sr game, no waiting on Mr. Johnson for a job. If your story encompasses your downward spiral into alcoholism and BTL that's good too. You all are on the dark side of the shadows here.

Lee really is just waiting for the meet. Prior to this, his routine consisted of well, training, training, and training. Martial arts training, practicing his previously undeveloped firearms training, just getting a feel for the lay of the land kind of thing. So he is patiently waiting until the meet. That's just the kind of character he is.

Johnny is just redisovering his relationships with the poeple he knew before going in. After he talks with Kaze about starting up his smuggling operation I will likely start getting more involved with his contacts, but if anyone just needs some muscle or wants to rumble with some FT's just let him know and he will be there. He is pretty good with a bike and has a little B/R bike skill as well.

He has a cell phone that you all would likely know the number to. So if you need him just call.

i will say this....once that meeting goes......something may happen.

Also anyone doing anything about that body?

Yeah tatsu and legion are working on it, I'm thinking of feeding it to my ghoul contact, that would be interesting, not to mention get rid of most of it, since he's a troll too.

Interesting way to use your contacts.

Thats what I thought, besides ghouls have to eat too. I laughed at all the possibilities and the subsequent actions, but flipshow brings up a VERY good point, that might insight war and bad-bones would be angry at mitch for not clearing it with him first. Not to mention it would give mugzy something else to have his character languish over, because mitch is just the type of guy that would think he'd want a momento(leg bones connected to the hip bone...).

I'm really liking this run by the way, despite the fact that its still getting started and not much has happened, aside from my character getting covered in blood in the first ten posts. I knew there was going to be blood spilled early on I was just worried it was going to be Mitch's, better on him than from him.

I dug the choice of Contact use as well Kiedo... Twisted enough to be cool And yeah that's gotta suck, but At least you posted that the Suit was outdated, and it wasn't one of those Pimp Synth-Alligator tailors of Tatsu's... Blood splattering one of those would truly suck.

well I figured after spending the last five to seven years in prision he wouldn't have any up to date clothing.

Everyone,

My workload is staggering at the moment and as you can tell, I can only really post about one time a week. If this is going to be a problem and I totally understand if it is, then I will have to bow gracefully out of the game.

I had thought that it wouldn't be an issue when I submitted my character to Hobbe, but I was wrong. I hope this doesn't cause to much of a problem.

My appologies,

Slippshade (Johnny the Bull)

I'm going to hold off assigning kharma till monday...its been a slow post week, muist be the in game hang-overs.

if you wanted to have something happen on the way, or have him not be there or something, I'll go back and edit it. Also I left you room to give me an answer(I know you said you'd roll with anything, but I wasn't sure how much liberty with contacts that would afford us), and if you need me to roll some dice just say so, though I imagine asking a hungry ghoul to eat a fresh corpse would a pretty low target number.

On another note, you may have already answered this but I really couldn't find it. The karma were awarded in game can that be applied right away or do we need to spend time and nuyen training or studying.

Just checking in; for me at least, it's just been the final week of tax season. By Monday or so I should be fully recuperated and back on track, just fyi, but if anyone posts the meet at the donut shop before then, feel free to write me in as showing up.

Actually i'd like for anyone to use contacts to call them or go see them. Then rp the coversation. ie...hey what have you heard about....? (spoiler your dice rolls) and i'll give you answers.


No training time is needed just spend kharma.


Glad to have you back Winter, i imagine it can get hectic this time of year for you.

We're running aground here....people are waiting on the PC arranged meeting to happen....so i've been told.

Sorry 'bout that. Been an unholy busy couple of weeks, but, I was also waiting for the guys to get rid of the body so we could be on the same page as far as the date.

I have a plan though, for what Im gonna be doing. I should have it in there today

Sorry about the delay on the meeting... my fault, all.
I'll post pronto.

Just a brief announcement, tax season is obviously over, and I'm working on getting the tattered shards of my life back together. I will be catching up with posts ASAP over the next few days. I have to deal with various other matters that have been on hold during tax season that probably shouldn't have been that need to take priority, but by Sunday I should be totally up to speed. I posted this same announcement in my LITS world since unfortunately, all dumpshock stuff must still take a backseat to RL. Thanks everyone for your patience, and my apologies, I'm looking forward to moving on!

Hobbe you going to be running Dane with Tatsu's meeting'... Just have ole' Fuhok stop by your place, and let him Post on you Comp. he can log in as Fuhok post then log out for you. That might work. Just a suggestion.

I am in no hurry, been running a STAR WARS game on another Forum Site... checking this place now and again, no one's holding me up, take you time .. And hellz' yeah Rat, my mother's been a CPA and Accountant for many year's she even does the Taxes for the Company I run.. This time of year is hell...

Um I usually GM so I'm very used to finishing everything I want to in one post or sitting, If I've step on your toes tell me and I'll go back and edit my post. Or give me the go ahead and I'll start firing away questions for you to answer and rolling those precious intimidation dice(or unarmed combat if it comes to that, not that a pimp would be much for SUPER TROLL TM, lol).

Oh what meta is he dwarf, troll, elf what or when you post just give me a desciption so I'll know what I'm working with.

One more thing, I haven't the slightest idea the layout of seattle, when I play it's usually in Houston(go houston), so streets and things like that are greek to me, I've just been making them up as I go along. Which has made the gang's territory enormous (marcus lives on 5th and the pimp's on 120th...), so I'll either stop including streets or figure something else out.

The pimp is an Ork...scrawny for an ork but, an ork none the less. I havent seen a problem yet on posting.

umm yeah I apologize for my last post, I was celebrating 4:20 yesterday, and things got a little paraniod, so yeah sorry about that I'll continue on buisness as usual today.
