Oddly, it looks like it's correct at the source and incorrect at the destination.  I must have something messed up in my Chummer settings because I saw that it was at -57 karma, but a screen shot of Chummer that Thorgild sent to me seemed correct.

Hey everyone:

Here's our team (at the moment):

  • Gustovness - Face/Tech (I think)
  • Raiden
  • Thorgild - Spell slinger
  • Thorgild's son - Gun adept

I've been getting characters in a mix of build styles with a mix of settings in Chummer.  I'd like to keep this to a normal Missions style build to keep things simple and to make sure that everything lines up with the way that our newer players would expect to see if they ever get a chance to play a Missions game.

You can find the player information for Missions games online here.  Don't worry about the information regarding the Season 4 contacts.  This isn't a Missions modules so you can have whatever contacts that you'd like.

That will mean that characters built with Karmagen will need to switch to BP. I think this is better anyway as Karmagen characters tend to be more powerful than I tend to be prepared for, though in a play-by-post game I might have more time to react appropriately than I do at the table. 

I'd like the chance to get to talk with/see you all at least once before we focus entirely on the boards for our game.  Does everyone have access to a Google account so we could set up a Google Hangout?  The benefit of a Hangout over other conferencing software (e.g. Skype) is that we can do a video conference rather than just voice.

Edit - Added some information about character concepts above.

Yup! You got me down right!   8)

My availability for a video chat session is going to be weird until Wednesday as I'm on vacation and running around doing stuff.  If you want to meet before then or are meeting with someone else, lemme know and I'll see if I can come on as well.

Wednesday might be fine and gives others a chance to arrange availability, too.

Yup, you're on the short list.  I might tap you and/or the other person who PM'd me depending on what sort of makup we have on the team.

Hey, I've posted a character (here) in another thread and it just died apparently. I'm looking into having my first online in these forums because, frankly, I'm tired of being stuck as the GM with my local circle of friends.

I'd consider myself a decent, experienced role players, having started some 18 years ago, and despite not being a native English speaker, I've been told that I have a rather nice way with words... at least the written kind, anyway. I know a fair amount of the Shadowrun setting, having played since SR2, and generally just loving how this game basically prophesizes upcoming technology (did you know a doctor perfected contact lenses with what is basically an image link that also analyzes the glucose level of the liquid on your eyes and display it for you? Next gen diabetes testing!), having to continuously update itself. I'm not entirely familiar with the world outside Seattle however, though I do learn fast and try to put a lot of thoughts and details in my characters.

If you have a spot for someone desperately looking to be a player for a change, please ring me up.

I wouldn't really try to convert, just start over.  It'll be much easier, though, in the long run, since BP is easier to understand for Gustovness and it produces more focused characters with slightly less power (in my experience) which make the modules a little easier to adjust before I have to start bringing bigger guns, riggers, hackers, etc. against you all.  This is really meant to be a demo game for Gustovness so keep that in mind as you're building toons, too.
