hey guys, I am having trouble picking a char to use :3. I have a vet merc, oyu average shadow runner. A face troll, with a cane. he wears corp executive suits, pure white with some black lining, the black sunglasses you see in movies all the time, and his hair is slicked back on his head, coincidently his horns flow with his hair around the top of his head and curl up just at the top of the back of his neck. Oh, he can also punch through walls haha.. easily.
the other I haven't tried to use BP for yet, it is a jedi I made when I was bored. (yes, he has a lightsaber).  I like him, though I haven't decided what his personalitly would be yet. just let me know which of these you guys think you would have to most fun running with :3.

Alright then, let's meet up at 7pm on wed, eastern time. I never actually used that google service so I assume it'll just work like g chat.

Raiden, play whoever you like as this will be an introductory campaign for some of us and I doubt Dash will penalize us too hard for missing a role. We have a spell slinger already and I'm a face/tech, so maybe we could use a hacker or a vehicle driver? You don't have to be a solid archetype that invests heavily in one thing and lacks everything else.  Just an idea!

If we use Google Hangouts, it's actually better since it allows for voice and video chatting.  If everyone could get me their Google account to set up the Hangout, that'd be great.  If you haven't already emailed me at dashifen@dashifen.com, just send me an email from a Google account and that'll be enough.  If you don't have a Google account, they're free and you never need to use it again unless you want to ;)

Crap ... and not minutes after posting that, I found out that I'm not free on Wednesday.  I think, actually, that we're doing fairly solidly on the boards.  The primary reason that I usually try to chat with people is to discuss power level, scope, location, module, theme, style, etc. -- what the Fear the Boot podcast calls the Group Template -- but in this case since I'm running a module that I've already written as a demo game, a lot of those questions are already answered.

Let's hold off on a f2f chat for now. 

If everyone can get me a character sheet by Friday at 5 PM Eastern, I can make sure to have them all reviewed over the weekend.  Then, we can get started next week at the latest.  If all characters are to me before Friday then we can move even faster.

I'm so stoked for this!  I'm checking the board everyday for new developments!  You guys make sure to get your character sheets in to Dash so we can kick this thing off sooner rather than later!

That's odd .. I replied earlier but it looks like the board ate it or something.  Regardless, that's fine.  I've played riggers before so I can step you through things as necessary.

Click File->Print, and in the window that comes up change the drop down to Text.  Then you can copy/paste the text details of your character.
I could wile away the hours conversing with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'd be scratching while my thoughts were busy hatching
If I only had a brain...

So are we going to have an OOC forum running parallel to our game to clear things up and ask questions? Dash, what should we already know coming into the game? Especially when considering a play by post game?

( like IQ of i dunno nigh 200?) :3 his father was a corp CEO but his corp had some rough times and there was a coup. ( Hax and his little sister nearly got killed). though i am debating on wether or not to make him a combat hacker. with guns :3 though it would be hard with only 400 bp haha. it was rough with the karma XD

It's Friday, folks! Deadline! Make sure you got your character sheets in today! Use the premade characters from the core rule book if you're having trouble.

Yup, we'll have an OOC thread.  Maybe a more active one than usual since I'll probably be explaining things from the GM's perspective at times (like what penalties your facing, why I'm adding or remove dice, etc.) to help you and others know what's going on and why.  That thread is also where we can let each other know if we're going to disappear for some amount of time (like how I tend not to be online during the weekends).

What do you mean about "what we should already know coming into the game?"

Also, regarding characters.  I think I've only gotten two:  Gustovness and Raiden's.  I also got a third from an interested party not on the above list. 

If either you or your son has a character, Thorgild, I need to have it by 5PM tomorrow (Tuesday) or I'm going to tap others to fill in two more spots.  If you sent me characters, send them again.  They may have been marked as spam.
