So I'm looking to run a pbp game based, loosely, on SRM03-05 In and Out.
While I've never GMed, or played a PbP game, I've GMed SR for a few years, so this should be a learning experience for me.

I'm looking for 3-5 players built with 400BP. No munchkined or min-maxed chars please, also please nothing outrageous (pixies, AI, Freespirit) unless you can convince me that you can play that character without going pink-mohawk.

All books are open for use except for War! and Attitude, however, I haven't read Unwire, so I won't be using it unless someone specifically wants gear in it or makes a dedicated hacker (please don't :P).

I do have a few house rules that I've used over the years,
-Direct damage spells' drain resist is whatever the book says + the number of successes the target got on the resist test, or the highest if it's an AoE.
-No SnS or emotitoys.
-Optional matrix rolls rule on SR4A 226 sidebar. Rolls when in the matrix are Attrib + Skill w/ successes capped by the appropriate program.
-Charisma x 2 free BP for contacts
-Dice pools capped at 20

So, if you haven't played SRM03-05 (or can pretend you haven't) and can put up with my little set of houserules, please feel free to sign up.

Addendum: If 7 days elapse from the date of your second to last post, your character dies and someone from the bench moves up. You can always make a new character and get back on the reserve list. I've seen too many games fizzle out because of everyone waiting on one or two people to post. Extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration of course.

Sure... what will be the expected pace of this game?

Yes, Season 3 is in Manhattan.
As for pace, I'm making an addendum, If 7 days elapse from the date of your second to last post, your character dies and someone from the bench moves up.

I'm interested. A few questions on characters though.
Do you not want a dedicated hacker?
Can I play a mind mage?
Whats everyone looking at for characters so I can complement?
Will these characters be able to go through conversion to current missions season?

My possible concepts, depending on team in order of preference.
Primary function / secondary function

1. Infiltrator / Manipulation and Illusion mage.
2. Manipulation and Illusion mage / Medic
3. Hacker / Infiltrator
4. Combat adept / Infiltrator

I would prefer not to have a dedicated hacker, correct, but if someone really wants to play a hacker that has a little skill on the side as something else I won't say no either.
A mind mage? As in a mage built around mind control and similar spells? Off hand I'd say yes, but I reserve the right to shoot down a character I feel is munchkined or min/maxed to the extreme. Regarding the conversion to current missions season, I'm just running an adventure based off SRM03-05, and I don't know the official missions rules about keeping characters and such. Just think of this as if I'm running Paradise Lost, Harlequins Back, or Dawn of the Artifacts.

Ok, it seems there's enough interest. First 5 people who PM their finished character sheet to me will be in (optionally, you can PM it in DK's excel sheet or a Chummer's Character Builder save file).

Quick question. There were only 2 things I wanted from Attitude. Color Fibers(Allow you to change the color of your clothing and permanent Nail polish (allows you to do the same with your nails) Would these acceptable?

The character is finished otherwise.

I don't own the book, so as long as that is all they do and there aren't any further rules for them that I should be aware of, then sure you can get em.

It doesn't have to be a detailed background, a very general one will do, i.e. "Just washed out of the military after killing his CO, lived in Manhattan before that so came back. Single, both parents alive and retired in Georgia." Also, would need general details for qualities, for example what is his Addiction (Mild) to, who is his Dependent (easy), etc.

Cool, just to let everyone else know for team cohesion I am making an infiltrator, so Hardware specialist with the equipment to get past most security systems. He will also be a mage with mind magics and Illusions for his focus. I'll Pm the character tonight if not earlier.

Sounds good.

So now we have a Face/with a touch of infiltration adept and a B&E expert/mental manip & illusion mage.
