The New Beginnings game is opening recruitment for one very specific player type.
The team has lost a Matrix support specialist.  I would like to see some new blood on the tech side of things, so I am requesting people submit a player concept (with or without a sheet at the moment) or 20Q that has hacker as a strong, but secondary skillset.  I don’t personally care where your primary is, it could be rigging (vehicle or drone), covert ops, gun-bunny or combat medic, but I need you to be an adequate hacker too.

Strong player concept is more important than an impressive character sheet, especially since I will probably chew up your first sheet anyway and spit it back to you for resubmission, ask my current players.

This is 4th edition, and unlikely at this point to upgrade, and the other active players will have a say in the final choice.
Post something here or PM a concept.

Hey Crossbow
Putting a guy together atm for one of my players in a home game, he wants to learn to play a hacker coz hes so in love with the movie sneakers, so im putting one together for him..... I'm happy to give him a run in your game if ya like, i will warn ya that hackers are generally not my strong suite so if ya got the patience for it i'm in.....
i got one question atm (probably will have more questions sorry in advance), where do you stand on the hacked program option from unwired ?

Regards Hellion

Not sure what you are asking.  Can you use Unwired as a resource for building?  Sure.  I am far less concerned about gear than I am a strong player concept.

Sorry for not being clearer, in Unwired there is a side bar that allows the matrix progrmas to be bought at 10% of the actual price, but they degrade over time, from memory 1 rating point a month. They also aren't registered to a SIN like normal programs thus making the hacker harder to trace if there is a log still left in the system.

That isn't an optional rule sidebar, you are talking about pirated software.  Yes the rule is in use.

I've been itching for another game, so I'm interested, I'll work on something this weekend and see if I can think of anything.

Hey I read all through New Beginnings and I have a decker/ Planer at Hand that I wanted to get on a run with ( 2 If you'd allow already played Chars.).
I would really like to try PbP, and I can post on a regular basis. ( Once or twice a day if it is more than 300 words)

We actually have one in the pipe to join up, but if you have a concept you want to submit, either in the role this thread outlined or otherwise, I will take a look at it, though I would say you should submit a new one, not previously played.

PS You read the whole thing?  the old thread too?

PPS What the heck is a planar?
