Is there a limit on short fiction? And is it posted up on Obsidian Portal like the other milk run posts?

Tere is not a limit on the stories you write, but there is a limit on how much karma you can earn for them (3 per game month).  This keeps folks from 'gaming the system' as it were and gives everyone a sort of even chance to earn Karma.

Generally from writing stories you can get up to 6 karma, from the short story and then writing up your Milk Run.  The former can be any story you want, as long as it kind of gives us insight into your character or frames something your character is doing.  The Milk Run story has to be about something you were hired to do.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

I would be interested in joining this game.  Obsidian Portal name:  fazmandoo

I have a concept worked up for a Troll street samurai, what format should it be sent in, and where should I send it?  I usually use chummer5, but if you need a pdf or other file type I can probably get it done.  I apologize if I missed any of this information if it was posted earlier in the thread or on the OP page.

EDIT:  Found your email address, I'll send you the file and you can let me know if this works for the campaign.

Jayde, you do not have Mother on the list and I was pretty sure she was returning.

Good catch, MM.  Added Mother to the roster.

So I'm closing recruitment today, I have to give myself the week to get everyone's characters posted on the Portal and then make sure I have solid adventures for the various teams.  If anyone really really really wants to still get in on month 2 and just can't wait for month 3, please send me a PM and we can discuss it.

If you are on the list then you are in, whether you have given me a character yet or not, but let's get those characters to me ASAP.

I've got a game about to wrap up here in a lil bit and I'm looking for another one to get into.

How's this one been going?

I've got an Adept Getaway Driver I've been wanting to try out for a while, and I can TOTALLY wait till month 3, if need be.

You already have a character from back when month 1 was going to start and you determined you wouldn't have the bandwidth to take it on and bowed out.

Month three probably won't start till late winter early spring.

Also,

If you are a 'member' of the portal, feel free to post in the Forums under your characters Needlenet handle, or even for other Seattle runners.

Looks like a strong crew for Month 2.  Calico and I are still working on our joint Milk Run story, but should have it finished well before the 11/8 deadline.

Any idea of how the teams will be separated?

Yeah, I remember Pepper Jack, but I'm just not really feeling him right now.
Sure I couldn't do the driver? I looked over the PC list and it seems we're lacking in the "wheelman" position.

A touch of IRL corporate excitement today, as lunch was taken up by an all-hands to announce our CEO is moving to "a more focused role" and a new CEO is coming in, and how wonderful this is, and how happy everyone is about it. 

Like any Shadowrun player I immediately began to wonder what is REALLY going on, :P.

Anyway, really posting to ask about where we send character sheets?  I am probably being obtuse, but did not find an email link anywhere?  Or do we just upload them to the portal?

It's hidden up in the pages above, but why make you search?

Clearly I have no perception skill -- skimmed the thread twice without managing to see it  ::)  Thanks for re-posting.  Character sheet sent.  Fluff following shortly.
