Shadowrun

I'm looking for a few folks interested in taking on a run to deal with a situation in the sprawl of Seattle, namely a snuff studio that's into blacker then black labeled vids and having made made one too many enemies.
This is intended to be a high RP, low system thread.
The initial meet will take place in the woods themselves of Council Island, 15 minutes out from downtown Seattle, though if folks are interested in meeting up earlier and then going over as a group to the meet site, it's quite doable.
-
I'm definitely interested, probably with a face of of some kind.
Anything particular we'd have to consider regarding character creation?
-
I'm planning to play most of it by ear, so if we get a group of 5 sams going in, then it'll be combat heavy. If your bringing a face in, then I'll definately throw a little face time in there.
Just remember, runners are deniable assets, not flash and bang. Bring too much attention and J's might categorize you as expendible assets instead.
-
I'm interested!
-
I sort of want to do something with my VU93 guy on account of how a possession mage could end the run by having the snuff producer beat to death by possessed sex toys. Though, I don't think he would necessarily be a good fit.. and I'd likely have to cut off all his karma to keep his power levels in line.
-
The J is going to want the guy alive for something too, so that wouldn't work quite that well.
If you want to bring'em in, feel free. Shadowrun is nice in the way that unless we're talking like hundreds of karma difference in between one runner and the next, they can still mix and match just fine.
If your interested, feel free to post up either a link to a character sheet or the sheet itself. I'm going to go by the honor system here so I won't be checking every roll for validity.
-
I'm certainly interested. I wouldn't mind resurrecting a character from a previous game or two that died.
What year are you setting this in for backgrounds?
Even though you are playing it loose with the rules and focusing on RP are we limited on any books or other aspects?

Well, not hundreds.. but, about a hundred, and around 80k in net earnings.
I can shoot you a quick breakdown in a PM if you'd like, but looking to keep the sheet private. Role playing works better if strangers are strangers.
-
Id like to help, but not sure how much I can do. My main alter ego, well is, and I can say this by virtue of having to retire him twice, is a bit of a Prime runner. If you could use some intell or maybe logistical support, Im game.
-
@Mystic
If folks want to send their character sheet to me instead of posting, then that's cool. Intel and logistics is always good to have in my book.
@Everyone,
If folks really want to bring in someone they can, but I'll be asking folks keep it to around 100 karma or so as the upper limit. A little over isn't a bad thing, just don't go crazy, 'kay? Nuyen, I'm not so bothered about.
I do intend to throw a bunch of sub-plotline ideas out there, but the main one I can already predict will be going overseas to chase someone down.
@Horseman
Starting time for this run is as soon as we can get organized, just in 2072 as opposed to 2010. I.e. if it takes a week to get started then we might be starting on Oct 18, 2072.
-
PM sent.. dunno if it lets you know these things.
-
Well I'm interested not sure what I'll play though.
-
I have right now in my inbox, two invisible trickster shamans... someone's in trouble.
Field's wide open Codac if your interested. I do have a need for at least one hacker who knows a bit about how BTL's are produced if your looking for ideas.
-
Mine's a possession spirit Lukumi tradition, so it's not total overlap. I can submit another one though if need be.

I'm still wavering a bit regarding actually going with a face but this is a role I'm definitely not going to fill.
-
If theres still room, I've got a hacker from a Missions game I'd love to take out into the "real" world.

Heh, possession spirit Rastafarian tradition, but not following the Trickster... so you're like the bridge between worlds!
-

Which Missions campaign?
I'm still considering a few options but should have a decision in the next day or two.
-
Missions season 3, so far he's completed 00-7, 9,10, and 2 CMP's
-
How about in order to not overlap, I'll play a different character. I"ll post him in a day or two. His name is Wovoka. He's basically from a very traditional Sioux tribe, and he was always a weakling and even through he went through tribal warrior training since boyhood, he didn't make the cut to join the SN Wildcats, and this broke his heart so badly that he ran away to Seattle to not have to face his shame. He got involved in the rush of the plex and eventually got chromed out to compensate for his weakness and picked up a little BTL habit as well. Now he can't go back home cuz his people don't accept modern technology much less cyberware, so he's stuck in the plex and the only way he can live out his warrior fantasies is through shadowrunning. So he's basically a sammie who's main weapon is a bow. I've played him before but I"ll just use his original character sheet starting at 0 Karma.
-
Well if you need a hacker I've got an A.I. character i was working on that i wouldn't mind getting in a game.
-
@Codac
Bring him (it?) in Codac. This should be fun. :)
@Chance359
I kind of want to stay away from the missions for now as I don't want any accidental spoilers. No hard feelings, I just want the chance to run through all the missions from start to finish.
-
I would love to PbP, but I only get online tuesday's, thursdays, and fridays.
-
I'll get him finished up and to you ASAP.
-
Is there still a place free? ;)
I dont have any char to throw in, though. Building one using a program is quick enough of course. "100 Karma" is meant as "100 Karma after creation", right?
So, way I see it we have a sam, a shaman, a hacker, an AI and maybe a face. On first view Id say the standard role lacking is that of a rigger/mechanic, maybe somewhat combat-leaning. As said, if theres still place.
-
Build'em and bring him in Frostriese if you like.
-
So are we gonna do this?
-
I'll have my character posted in the next few days. Having a hard time deciding if I want to use an older character with some experience or run with a new concept.
-
Well I sent my char two days ago... I think, at least. Bit difficult to tell the way it just sends you back to the inbox, maybe I didnt actually sent it, but I think I have...
-
I'm here, just need to get my act together and all. I believe we have enough to get started, I just need to compile my notes and to get things rolling.
I'll post here when I start a new thread for our game.
Sorry it's taken so long, RL kicked me in the butt a few times here.
-
I can certainly relate to RL handing out the butt kickings. I'll aim to have it posted to you in the next thirty hours or so.
-
Due to being roped into running a game tabletop based on my GM's world setting, I'll have to put this on hold until I get those games done. The prep work should be done and the game played by the second Saturday of next month, so immediately after I should be able to get things rolling here.
My apologies for the long delay, I didn't expect prepping for a game would take THIS long.
-
Don't let it get you intimidated. PbP is really pretty slow to go anywhere. You don't need to plan too much since you'll have a week or two for the players to get from point A to point B.
I've found it's best to have a rough outline and some basic static characters/encounters and then just wing it from there. You've got all the time in the world to come up with descriptions and places and relationships, and you can play off the other posters as needed.
-
I would definitely recommend trying to stick to posting at least once a day. Otherwise things lose steam like i've seen in some other threads.
-
Just posting to move this thread up so i don't have to go to the 2nd page all the time :)
-
Woops, didn't want to post to this one...lol
