I agree with Chrona. That's needlessly complicating the setting, and with the distance between the zones it's indeed silly... I get it when it comes to costs of living, but the rest of it - meh...

I tend to agree. However.
1. The distance between two sides of the zone barrier is short, that doesn't make them any simplier to cross. And there are different countries on the sides.
2. I've actually decided to avoid defferent currencies (yes there are different kind of money on the different side of the barriers, and not always they are accepted, and there different ratios went you interchange them and there is a provision to change. Yes that would be overkill :D
3. costs of living stay different in each sector
4. some sectors will have some things more expensive then others (eg. magic is high taxed in Ess Ess)
5. special things (like magic formulas and teaching or very high availability rating things) will costs differently than main source book. as a rule of thumb prices for anything magic or above 16R or anything F costs should be asked for
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Okay,

so who is lagging behind?
Chrona - rich now broke
Stryker - wandering about Pueblo
Mata - on the phone for Stryker, but still nothing for himself
JDA - still pondering (Mata help him please with the SIN ;) )
Codac - got the sheet, ready to roll

I'll probably wait a day or two, but it's looking we are ready to go again :D
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Binding only gives you a more broad choice of services. You have to Summon the spirit to be bound anyway. And mages cannot have more than one active spirit 'on standby' besides Watchers... That, and Drones don't have free will.
I'm still not sure about the Binding part and my character's tradition. It should be easier, theoretically, because in Stryker's case Binding would look more like spirit pacts... He doesn't force the spirit, only tries to convince him to become a long-term ally.

Summoning the spirit is free. The main benefit of binding is that you can have more than one spirit (I don't count watchers, they are more like disposable commlinks). That you had two spirits during first run was a mistake on my side. You can only have one unbound spirit at the time. (Unless I misread something very badly)

All other things like extended choice of services, or no need to resummon them after the sunset is just a cherry.
 
I don't know if free will is the benefit or otherwise, so I won't argue here.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Okay, then I decided to screw Binding and invest in something that's actually worth the money and karma, and is plausible as the story gets. That will be buying Etiquette, to simulate Stryker's people skills finally developing.

As for what Stryker is doing in the meantime, he spends most of his time on the streets, getting to know people from his circles (and with certain success), but the rest of it was spent in his 'almost free clinic'.

Will Edit with updates. Like spending that 10 BP, how many Days downtime are we getting and can i get Falcone's info?

Heres he sheet, Upped my CFs with the 10BP, saving my karma for submersion. Background altered slightly to make more sense.


Name: Dwight Palun
Alias: Cursor. Street Cred: 2 Notoriety: 0 Public Awareness: 0 Koshari: +1 point Yakuza: -1 point Triad: -1 point Casquilho Mafia: +2 point Chavez Mafia: 0 point
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS
Lifestyle: Living with Stryker (Party Mage)
Karma Spent/Total Karma: 0/12
Nuyen: (Left after chargen= 1,454¥ + Starting Nuyen= 650¥ + First Job= 3,400¥ + Second Job= 8,600¥ + 2000¥ Moving House - 15,000¥ In Debt) = 1,100¥
Personality/background Cursor was a member of a small Mercenary group, the Stray Dogs. He joined up to escape local Tech-hate in the confusion of War. After the crash and his emergence, he still isn't front-line material but he likes it that way, for now.

"From back here i can take all the time I need hacking in." He took careful aim and fired, the arrow hitting spot on the fault in their firewall. A Window popped up in his VR view "Ya' done yet Cursor?", it was his Commander. The real world snapped back into view, now he was in he dropped back back to normal, the window still in front of him. "All done boss, just waiting for your signal to shut their 'ware down", the window closed with a thought as an AR construct replaced it. A Light Switch. "Oh and thanks for remembering i cant hear you in VR this time", he grinned as the Commander gave him the thumbs up and the switch was flipped.
 
The enemy spider got one sentence out before bullets started flying. "What do you mean your cyber eyes switched off!?"
 
He wasn't left alone of course, even this long after the emergence people were still scared he'd "Hack their brains". Some wanted to string him up, some were scared of him.. A few times he thought he overheard some of the men mentioning Megacorps and labs.
 
Then Celine, the only other Technomancer in the Stray Dogs went missing. They were close, their "skills" bringing them together on dangerous Hacks and talks on Resonance. The inquiry brought up nothing. His Commander put Cursor on unpaid leave, telling him to disappear for now in case someone decided to snatch him up to, so he went to Denver and got a small apartment.
 
He should be laying low, but a Technomancers still gotta eat and pay bills.

Guys, are you done with in between activites?

Make sure to send me the compiled and updated cards. Last run when I was asking I didn't receive all. If this happen this run, there will be karma points penalties. You have the time for this until end of this week (RL).

Secondary I need you to decide the difficulty level.
Based on you karma you're still green that is TR 1, you have an option to go at TR 2.

You have again five members, which means three votes for any given option.

Sorry for a small delay ;)

Sprite Resist (6d6.hits(5)=2)
Fade Resist 4S: VR Fade Resist (12d6.hits(5)=3)
1S

Do not use VR bonus for registering and fade resist rolls. sprites are also always VRing and the rolls are balanced by now.
Do not make rerolls for this just keep in mind for the future.
What's the summary (spirits, tasks left/performed)

Fade Resist 6S fade resist (12d6.hits(5)=1) Edge to reroll fails

make sure you note the used up edge

The actual days, got mixed due to the availability of the people, but you managed to meet them all except Dean. Who seemed to be having some troubles but was unwilling to discuss it.
You certainly scored some points with the contacts you met however. The infor you gathered certainly are good. The biz is getting better - Yakuza is bullying with Triads, Mafia families bicker with themselves, and corporations are at their throats again. All in all means a fat times ahead.

Just not yet for you it seems that the debt collectors are from Yakuza. They have bought off you debts, after their several sells, and are now collecting in the face of their Triads cleaning phase. Another half is due next month.

Iv'e Almost got my card done will have it up sometime today.

I vote TR1 as well.

Is it 2071 or 72 for this campaign. And do you know what sector would give me the least chance of running into Aztlan...Cause that's where I'd be.
