Active, Check on Team Karma
Active, and affirmative on team KP
Active, Yes to team pool and yes to forming a magic group or joining the one hobbegoblin posted. so thats 13 karma from me?
Active. Team karma sounds good. 
10 for the team karma, the intiation is extra.
I'm in, karma pool sounds good.
it's 1 point per person in the team cost in karma each? i though it a team KP was 1 point per person, flat.
I have the cost of 10 karma to start the pool each ( that's my twist on it...shows a major investment in forming bonds to one another in the past...simulating game time) That puts a karma point in the pool for everyone, you could end up with a team pool of 10 to 12 depends on whose still in. Thats above your own personal stash of karma. If a players luck runs bad in a scenario the pool may bring him through.
ah, so it's a high personal cost thing. that would require a redesign on my part. I sorta went nutsy with the power points.
Also, any house rules we should know about?
Also, any house rules we should know about?
house rules...1. Use your heads, 2. Use your contacts when you can, 3. Have fun and reload often.
OK, so how much karma from our good karma should we deduct for the team karma pool? One good karma per person or what?
It's ten from the 100 good karma we've been given. Every two karma (read: 10 000 
)we want to invest afterwards buys another die for the team pool, as I've read it.
How did you want to work with contacts after chargen, Hobbe? Ideally, I'd like Echo to know someone just about everywhere so should I be investing cash? Karma? Something else?

I'm in, and vote for team karma.
I am in, just concerned about team Karma. It could slow the game down as everyone has to vote who gets to use it.... But it suits me fine.
Just so everyone knows, what do we have in the way of units, I know from myself and thanatos we've got a short range (605 if hobbes lets me have my assault rifle) sniper and a long range scout (thanatos). It'd be nice if it was all in one post but that's up to hobbes.
My character will be a scout/CQB. I'll be trying to cram in Perceptive and Cognition as well as other sensory enhancements as far as I am possible. Spot them from afar, sneak in close and take them down.
Contacts i'll let you buy with any yen you have, it shows time and effort to establish.(they say time is money right?)
Kiedo what do you mean by units?
Kiedo what do you mean by units?
Excellent. I'll start forking out the cash.
On a somewhat related note, where will the group be starting? Are we investing in a common lifestyle?

It better be at least High... I am a Officer you know us fly boys expect the good life when at base camp. (and it will help keep my vehicle upkeep cost down)

Echo will be happy as long as there's running water....
Such whimps - Sledge would be happy as long as the incoming rounds are infrequent.
Echo that Thomas
Wimps, hmm? You guys man the trenches, I'll .. ahh .. be over .. here.

I was wondering if any of you ground pounders thought to go with the Snake-eyes remote imaging package, I know its expensive... but would help me out with aiming these here rockets and missles.....plus it would mean I could feed you the helicopter point of view of the battle field. Just a thought I dont have any drones to give you contorol of but would be willing to invest in one or 2 if one of you wants to take the package so this here remote control deck idoesn't look like a small waste. If i dont get an answer by tommorow im tossing the remote control deck for more rockets. Just hope I dont get no friendly fires.
Shh dont tell them about the beer fridge its only .4 cf enough for 40 beers... they might try to take some.

Well, Sledge has a few to spare - what is it, where can I get it, and does the GM approve it?
But, you'll have to share the beers

The rating 6 verision is availability 8 so perfectly legal up to that point it is located in the rigger 3 book page93-94 with the stats block on 95. It is rather expensive.... if you didn't think about it to start you probabley dont have enough
However if you got a tactical computer its probabley worth the cost probabley the best one computer port ever. And your other rigger would really like for you guys to have some kinda targeting device for his fire also, be it laser or microwave targeter just let us know so we buy the proper seeking munitions.... that scatter is gonna be a killer other wise.
Hmm...refresh my memory...we have any trolls I should take into consideration in our transport arrangements?
no trolls i believe
All righty, as of right now I'm not sure what my net access is going to look like until the beginning of next week. I'll be on steady after Tuesday, though, and I should be able to check in a few times between now and then.
Be safe, everyone, and I'll do my best to keep you updated. Echo is almost done, for the record, and I'll have her in as soon as possible.

I think specter would be happy with out going rounds.
I ment what is everybody's area of expertise, be that sniper, demolitions, heavy weapons, communications, ect.
With a team this size there are bound to be subgroups like recon, or entry teams. Anybody have some in mind, I know that with a group this size and given specter's sordid history he probably would want to be overall leader, but he could definately head up the recon detatchment. I figure if everybody is on a sub team then they could choose their leaders and not have to delay everything by waiting for each player to vote for leaders of teams they really wouldn't have much to do with (I don't want to have to vote on who is going to be sub commander of the communications team, if there was one).
Thanatos is on nights right now so he's doing a lot of sleeping but he says he's in and votes for team karma. He's one of my RL friends and I see him almost everyday.

Ahh, all righty then. Here's a rundown while I still have a bit of time.
Echo is a communications (decker, stealth and comm-oriented) and logistics specialist (face, negotiation, languages, and worldwide contact-oriented). Aside from these two areas, she's built as a solid secondary for what's needed with mid-range skills in demolitions, biotech, stealth, parachuting, and athletics. She can also take over the flight controls for the helicopter if necessary. Again, this is all mid-range stuff so she's support outside of the Matrix and her face 'duties.'
How's that?

My role in the group is summed up as air and spirit support, more in depth below for those who care.

Aaack, one last thing and I swear I'll stop posting for a while.
Are we using Battletac as a team or no? I might be able to scrape a few extra points together to make that investment if no one else is interested in taking point on this.
Let me know.

Are there any other spell slingers in the group other than Panther (my character)? Kinda important to know that so I can select my spells a bit better for the team....
Specter is, if there isn't anyone else doing it too, team sniper. He also specializes in ghost recon, and could easily act as a member of a scouting team. He's an adept of the invisible way, IMHO, and I'm spending a few adept points on that wonderful improved ability power (probably assault rifle and stealth). I'm debating wether or not to give him ruthenium things for that extra push. Basically he's your average merc who's extremely talented with an assault rifle and very good at not being seen or tracked. I don't think I'm even going to give him a sniper rifle skill.
I'll pick up a target designator if needed, and a battletac headset (or whatever the none cyber version is) if the team goes that route.

Sorry if this is a repeat question, went through both threads and didn't see an answer yet. Where do you want the sheets when they're completed? Posted, PM, EMail, Other, All the Above?

Another quick question (or two)....
This mean we have a Team Karma Pool of 120 karma? I assume this works like 2nd Edition?

Other than that just don't let her drones get geeked and if its something to big for you guys to kill or there are just too many of them call in the coordinates and take cover.
I've almost finished the character, but some 411 on mine follows:
Dwarven Panther Shaman (I am using the Puma totem as a template)
He's pure shamanic sorcerer, a nature loving, tech-disliking, magic addict (and I do mean addicted). He has a reason for hating technology though, everything seems to break on him, and not just break, but a full catastrophic, irrepairable, inexplainable disaster sort of breaking. However, he's highly skilled in sign language, especially military signs.
He doesn't carry a weapon (the risk of it backfiring and destroying his face is immense), and uses spells to an overwhelming degree. Due to his lack of weapon usage, he depends heavily on his Panther form, though he has been known to take a predatorial bird form many times. He's highly skilled in unarmed combat, as well as having a Utility spell list (Ie: almost every mostly-essential non-combat spell in the world).

Gremlins? Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!! You..don't touch anything!
If he breaks my cyber I'll have to break his bones!
Don't worry about Cyber, the book actually states that cyberware is an exception (though I choose to NOT have it as an exception for me, thus no cyberware)
I'm not talking about that...I'm talking about my APC....
Anyways, a bit on my char:
Johnny is pretty much the opposite of Panther. He loves technology, and is mildly afraid of magic. He doesn't understand how it works, and he doesn't want to know. It just gives him the heeby jeebys. He also has some racism issues that stem from his upbringing in the heart of Dixie. He doesn't go out of his way to be insulting, but he does need to watch what he says and how he says it.
For the language Reign was talking about, perhaps we could take points in our own code, mabey something similar to what the Navajo Windtalkers did in WW2.

I'd prefer the Character sheets PM'ed.
So, after chipping in for the team KP. Before buying any karma, what should our karma pools look like. I only ask becasue I don't see the rules for team KP in SR3, I know they were in SR2, but as written in SR2, they sucked ass. You wind up with less KP over all and add a vote mechanic to use karma you basically already bought. Sure, it's a team thing, and I already agree we should be a team, but I'm just not seeing the rule in my copy.
It's in the companion, there's still a voting mechanic to it but, you arent stuck trying to squeeze gameplay into a couple hours around a table on this medium so i think it'll work out.
