AV 8 Rating 6
No custom fire arms (customizable yes)
No pure deckers
All Cyber/Bio allowed as long as it fits the above rules
No SR Comp races
Combat oriented characters will be given priority

House Rules
[ Spoiler ]
Rayguns Firearms (but not rules).
Rate Of Fire:
I am making a rate of fire change.
Simple action
a pistol with SS as a ROF can fire 2 rounds with a simple action.
a pistol with SA as a ROF can fire 4
a SMG or Assault Rifle in SA with a simple action can fire 4
any weapon with BF can fire 2 bursts as a simple action.
any weapon with FA now fires a 20 rounds instead of 10. Or 30 instead of 15.
I am making these changes as an experiment so they may not work out well. We'll see

I'm in! Don't know who I'm submitting just yet though.
This would have been perfect for
Flare, but I just signed her up for another game.

I have no qualms about you playing the same character in two games.

*pats Fortune* It's okay, dear, I'm sure you'll find something appropriate ....
I'm also curious about joining up, if that's all right. How often will you be looking for posts, Shadow?
Fortune
Apr 10 2005, 10:30 PM
That's cool, but I'll still have to think about it a little.
Edit: Yay Morganna's here!

@ Morgana *wave* Hi!
Thats a toughy, I am kind of running this as an experiment to see how fast I can get a game done. Sort of a prep for my LiTS game. I would like players to be able to post once a day. But if they can post a lot on a couple of days, and not at all on others that should be fine. As long as they don't mind their characters NPC'd for critical rolls.
I should also mention this disclaimer, the game will start "in progress". There will be no meeting, no negotiating. The first post will lay out the deal you struck and what your payment is. it will also lay out the plan. You will of course get to have any equipment you can carry with you when the game starts, but it will start "in progress".

Good to know!
I'll start tinkering around tonight, then.

I'll see about whipping up a transport rigger. Don't know if that counts as a combat character or not, but hey I need to make one anyway.
Tarantula
Apr 11 2005, 01:39 AM
I'd like to go too, as a drone rigger perhaps? They're rather extremely combat oriented.
Shadow
Apr 11 2005, 01:52 AM
Thats fine, but bear in mind that I will only be accepting one rigger.

Hmmm... I'm in. Combat characters, eh? I'll be submitting Cougar, my ex-Wildcat Orc.
Fortune
Apr 11 2005, 06:24 AM
Hmm ... definitely looks like we are going to need someone magically-inclined. I guess I'll work on that angle then.
Shadow
Apr 11 2005, 06:35 AM
I am only going to accept around 4 people. So bring your "a" game on character creation.

Your submitting characters. Please send them in a readable format that is neat and clean. Any characters submitted in the NSRCG format will be disqualified.

XML is fine. I just don't like the HTML output of the NSRCG.

I'd like to be in this, is it ok if I enter
Mirage? I don't know if you're planning a Team Effort sequel in the near future.
I think I'd struggle to make a good new character this week (pretty busy), but I'd hate to miss another of your games (especially a 'combat oriented' one
).
Tanka
Apr 12 2005, 03:32 PM
I think I'll have a go with Tank, the aptly-named troll.
Anybody think a Ballistic Riot Shield and SMG is too much? Just too bad the avail cap is way below security or military grade armor.

@ Tanka,
The last few games I ran were high powered. I wanted to get back to a simpler time.
@ Raiko,
I am, but all the elements need to come together. I still have Mirageon file if you would like me to use that sheet, or would you be sending a new one?
Tanka
Apr 12 2005, 06:42 PM
Right, which is understandable. Sometimes you just can't think up something worth the effort of pouring yourself into a high-powered game.
Raiko
Apr 12 2005, 06:58 PM
I'll send you a new copy/version.

actually I just thought of a question that I really should have asked earlier.
Do you allowed custom vehicles, how about customized vehicles?

Razz the ork combat mage coming tomorrow. This game sounds very exciting, I hope you'll consider my character.

I know how much fun custom vehicles are, but theres no way for me to put a realistic limit on it and still let you make a character with it. So no. You may customize existing vehicles though.

Immortal is very, very tempting right now... just need to see how well he fits the creation rules...

It actually looks like I'll have a character ready BEFORE the 3-hour crunch ....
This just isn't right.

Ahh I was wondering who that was from. Yes I did. Please make sure you put your DSF name on the sheet or in the subject of the email.

Shadow: Are the NSRCG twenty questions good enough for background or do you want something more fancy?
Shadow
Apr 14 2005, 08:40 PM
They are fine.
I would prefer that you write a back ground story that answers all the questions. If not, the 20Q are fine.
Fortune
Apr 14 2005, 10:45 PM
Background is why my character isn't in yet!

Sorry about that, I just got back from the hospital. I'll make a few changes I thought of and send him back.

I've been looking to get into a game for a WHILE now...
I'm DEFINATELY giving this one a shot.
I'm fairly inexperienced (only been in 3 or 4 long term games...but I own and have memorized tons of the 3rd ed books)...I'll try to make a character that can fit my ability.
Woot.
Kaosaur
Apr 15 2005, 04:33 PM
Erm...what about Edges and Flaws?
Goals that may be disadvantageous to the party?
Nasty things that the character is fated to suffer?
...Can you see where I'm going here with this?

You mean when the group gets together to kick your character's butt for having those disadvantageous goals?
That could get very nasty.
Hehe, and of course I'm kidding. Kind of.
Just finishing off
Indigo's background and looking for an appropriate pic. She'll be in once I get home tonight.

You can have edges and flaws, but if you have them to excess I just wont accept your character.
I don't run a heavy game with lots of interference from your characters. In oother words you can take a hunted flaw, but it wont come in to play. So if you have a lot of flaws like hunted, extra enemy, etc, I wont accept your character.
If you want a feel for my games I have ran several, feel free to go back and read some of them. I run short, fast, combat oriented games.
