Hey,
I'm DC. Nice to meet you all. I was wondering if anyone is interested in starting a game. I'd prefer to play in it than run it, so we need a GM to join in in addition to other players. Active people only please. Don't join if you can't post regularly(Otherwise it screws up the game).
Once we find a GM and a few players we will get things rolling. Post here to join.
-
Welcome DC! Ignore the clutter of old code and try not to wake the sleeping dragon in the corner.
-
Heh. Thankyou kindly, sir. I will do my best.
-
I don't have a lot of experience with online Role play but I wouldn't mind playing
XxswitchxX
-
And Welcome aboard to you, too, Switch :)

Hey Switch,
How's it goin'? It's fine if you've never done PBP(play by post) before. I've done alot of roleplay in this format, but have never done any in it that required dice rolling or a GM, so this will be a new experience for both of us.
Roleplaying on a forum is more like writing fiction from one character's perspective than roleplaying around a table with friends. In my opinion, they can be equally fun in different ways. You will usually find things will be more story and roleplay heavy with PBP. Details can be more easily described, character interaction is more important, ect. I think things just generally have more potential.
If you want information on how to PBP RP I can certainly get that for you. You could also read the shadowruns currently going on here and on http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showforum=9 (http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showforum=9) , which is Dumpshock's Shadowrun PBP forum.
In regards to the mechanics of playing Shadowrun online, I do not yet know much. I'm trying to figure some things out; like since you can't just say you do something without the proper rolls... do you just write that you are attempting it?
So yeah, I have a few things to figure out, myself, but it should be real easy.
-
I'd like to play. I have a hacker ready to go. It'll be my first time in PBP.
-
Sweet. One or two more players and a GM now's all we need. It's good to know we have a hacker, since they are pretty much always needed.
Any active GMs out there?
-
I guess I could GM this one too if no one else offers. Why don't you guys start posting your characters. If no one offers even after 2 characters have been posted, then I'll pick it up.....but this run would be for no more than 3 characters.
-
Alright. Thankyou. I appreciate it. I'll try to get my character flushed out. Maelstrom, Switch, please start working on your characters if they aren't already done. If they are done then you may want to work on backstory and things of that sort. I'll be working on my character too. :)
Also, Switch, if you could tell me what kind of character you are playing, or what his/her specialties are, that would be great. That way I can try to avoid specializing in the same skills.

Name: Treece Braxdon
Alias: Axe
Race: Ork
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS
Lifestyle: Low
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: 5’ 11, 210 lbs., black hair
Personality/background:
With his greasy black hair and 5¥ vending machine flats, Axe is no different from the thousands of other low-life scum filling the streets. Born into yet-another undocumented ork litter, Axe’s unpromising childhood took a turn for the better with a fake SIN that opened the door to citizenship and schooling. Unfortunately, he largely squandered the opportunity. School was mind-numbingly boring, and his class time was spent hacking the PANs of his holier-than-thou classmates. Eventually he was caught, of course, and his repeated suspensions finally resulted in expulsion. Now a dropout living life day-to-day, Axe makes any nuyen he can by cracking copy protections and illegally updating programs. He is extremely bitter toward society’s “upper crust”, and loathes the metahuman haters.

Question-how many points is the character to be.
Was thinking of playing an elven B&E specialist is that ok with all x
XxswitchxX
-
Standard, I believe. 400.
B&E Specialist sounds good.
-
I could supply a pretty brutal muscle. ive never done pbp before either but i'd like to give it a bash. i was thinking one of the goblins with some cyber specializing more in close combat than with firearms but competant in both. i'll put in some things to keep me entertained outside of combat too though. also how do you feel about gang afilliations? that is.. if you can see your way to opening it up to a 4th?
-
That is entirely up to Inca, as he is the one who was kind enough to offer to GM for us. I can't see any reason why any of the other players would have a problem with it. :D
-
Man, i'm super busy, but I really like playing so I'm down for GM'ing this thread....I just won't be able post as often as on the first one i started because I committed to that one....but it won't be that bad. I would prefer doing only 2 players, 3 max.
-
I'm definitely up for playing
-
Inca,
Since you don't have much time on your hands and there are more people wanting to play than you want to take on right now(understandable), I thought I'd continue the epic search for a GM and see if anyone turns up. I figured it would be cool with you, since you only offered because we couldn't find anyone. :)I really appreciate you offering in the first place. I just think it would be nice if would could figure out a way to let everyone( at least these people) play. I do hope that I get to play in one of your games though. I've been reading Road to Redmond and I like your writing. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
I've posted on Dumpshock to see if anyone over there is willing.

You...made an account on Dumpshock, wherein your first post is to try and find a GM for a game over here?
Yikes. Good luck with that.
-
Didn't realize it would be a problem. We could go over there to play too.
This morning I posted a little note saying so. I swear I will find a GM. lol. If this post doesn't work I have other ideas.
In the meantime, since I haven't said anything about 'em yet, heres a little about my character. He's an urban brawler called Warhawk. He'll be excellent with pistols and also I was gonna give him some moderate Influence and Biotech in order to fill gaps we have in the party. Oh, and he's gonna be real hard to kill (for a Human) as well. If I had to classify him I'd say he's like a versatile street samurai. I hope to have him finished sometime tonight. We'll see how it goes.
-
sounds kinda cool. ive played similar myself and its a lot of fun. if I knew what i was doing id gm but i have no experiance in this format. maybe next time though 8)
-
I will throw my hat in the ring for playing as well if we find a GM. Though if we have no luck at all with finding one I may be willing to give it a try, but I warn you ahead of time if you opt for that route I have never done play by post playing before. I have done alot of GMing regular RPing on messageboards and GMed RL sessions of shadowrun(though I am newer to this as compared to my D&D experiance) but never done them online before. : / So just figured I would throw that out there though I would prefer to just play
Name: Dinivin Telanesci
Alias: Father Twilight
Race: Human
Sex:Male
Nationality: UCAS (Italian descent)
Lifestyle: Medium
Karma Spent:0
Physical Description:
Standing 6’ even with a fit, trim form Father Twilight cuts an imposing figure to some, a comforting figure to others. He dresses in the ecclestial robes of a catholic priest, covered by a black leather duster jacket with a large golden cross tucked beneath his holy robes. His hair is black as the sins he preaches against and his eyes are a vivid blue that bring to mind a summer sky. He wears a pair of spectacles perched on his nose, which always tend to slide down in a manner akin to that you would expect of a doddering scholar. Yet when the eyes behind those glasses fix on you it feels as though he can see the sinful thoughts burgeoning within you and is weighing the balance of your soul. He constantly carries a Bible with him, though he rarely pulls it out.
Personality/background:
Dinivin Telanesci was once an aspiring priest of the catholic church. However when he began to espouse the use of magic in religious rituals and that the holy mother church should begin actively recruiting the awakened to their ranks he was cast out of the fold of the faithful, told that such things were not to be and that it was rank heresy to suggest it. When he continued to preach his beliefs in his private life he found himself the target of shadow runners hired by the holy church to silence his heresies. A band of runners entered his home and proceeded to beat him bloody, and pumped two bullets into him in an attempt to ensure he was finished. Fortunately for Dinivin the runners were unaware that his magical studies had delved into the healing arts, and he was able to save himself when he came to, which occurred as he struck the frigid waters of Seattle’s harbor. Since then he has kept up the act that Dinivin Telanesci died that night, and has become the shadow runner Father Twilight, working to use his magic as he feels the church should have, and hungry for the chance to exact revenge on the church should there ever be a contract offered on them.

Awesome. Still finishing up mine. Thanks for offering to GM if we don't find anyone. I'll keep trying and let you know.
-
mines almost done. probs finish it up tomorrow cause its time to go drinkin. btw im in england so that might be something that needs to be taken into acount. if the boards going to be moving through several posts per night then i'll try to catch up when im on.
-
Also nearly done. I've changed my guy around to be our face, but i would really appreciate it if someone took some medic skill, because i'm not going to. I don't have the points.
-
check my priest, I have the heal spell.
-
Sweet. Hopefully you don't end up GMing. lol
Other people are welcome to search for a GM too. I'm not having alot of luck to be perfectly honest.
-
Sorry I aint been around been working on mine will throw in first aid to help out. Any luck with a GM
XxswitchxX
-
'Priciate it.
No luck yet. Still trying. Paladin volunteered as our backup. He could always NPC his character. He wants to play if possible though, so I'm still looking.
-
O.K.
I don't have tons of time, but I hate to see players not able to find a game so I'll run one. Post your characters I'll run up to 4 maybe 5 people first come first serve.
-
If there's still spots open i'd like to be a player in this one too! ;)
-
I've only seen one character so far so I think there is still room
-
Only two characters have been posted. Rockstar, Switch, and myself are building our characters. I'm thankful to have a GM. Very nice of you, Walks Through Walls. Thanks!
I do wish there was another way than first come first serve, since that punishes those that had to make a character. Anyways I'm nearly done. I'll rush to get it done tonight. I've rewritten my character a couple times, which slowed me down lol, but i'll worry less about his story and more about game mechanics and just finishing him. Can always add more to his history once I already have him posted. He should be up by morning.
-
Paladin looked over your character and the only problem I see right off the bat is you cannot specialize when you have a group skill. So the specializations in spell casting and summoning have to go away (or else get rid of the groups). Just let me know how you tweek him to fix this you don't have to rewrite the whole character
Thanks
To all: Tonight I will start a thread called "Cleaing up the Band" for the game. I will probably follow what Inca did and have an IC and OOC thread
-
Sounds great to me; looking forward to it.
Edit: By the way, my character was hand-done (no generator), but I think I got it all correct.

Name: Lucan Bordeaux
Alias: Joker, Snooze, Snoozey
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS
Lifestyle: Low (2 Months Paid)
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description:
Joker has unkempt, unremarkable brown hair. He’s about 5’11” with a relatively light complexion and a thin, somewhat athletic build. One might guess his age around early twenties.
Personality/background:
“Once upon a time there was a crime syndicate and in that syndicate there was a lieutenant named Lucan. Lucan fell in love with the boss’s daughter and together they made plans to steal her father’s money to start a new life far away.
When it came time to do what they had planned, Lucan stole the boss’s stash and met with his love, but she would not go with him. So he fled to Seattle alone, escaping the life he hated, but losing the one he loved.”
Timeline Notes: Lucan was born in 2049. His parents were shadowrunners. When they disappeared in 2061, he was left to look after himself and his younger sister until she passed away in 2066. He left Montreal arrived in Seattle in 2071.
Personality Notes: Joker aka Snoozey is a lovable rogue with a penchant for tardiness. Despite his lazy nature, he is good at what he does. He’s an excellent shot, he’s clever, and he’s charming. His reputation among shadowrunners varies. Some praise him, while others question his reliability.

Positive Qualities:
Ambidextrous (5 BP) The character can use and handle objects equally well with both hands. The character does not suffer any modifiers for using an off-hand weapon. When using two weapons at once, however, the character must still split his dice pool.
Tough as Nails (10 BP) A character with this power has formidable physical endurance
and can take much more punishment than one would expect from someone of her size. This quality adds an additional 1 boxes to the character’s Physical Condition monitor.
Martial arts: Firefight R2 (10 BP) Reduce the ranged combat “attacker in melee combat” modifier by 2.
→Two Weapon Style
A character using this maneuver has trained to wield a second
melee weapon in his off hand. In order to use two weapons, each
weapon must have a Reach of 0 or 1.
The character may choose to apply the Full Defense option
using only one of these weapons, attacking with the other weapon
as normal (and without sacrificing an action). The defense or attack
action with the off -hand weapon suffers the standard –2 off -hand
weapon modifier.
→Riposte
A character with Riposte who successfully parries or blocks
a melee combat attack may make an immediate attack on his attacker, even if it is not her Action Phase in the turn. Making a riposte is considered an interrupt action, however, and uses up the
character’s next available action.
→Clinch
This maneuver allows the character to step inside an opponent’s reach and get up close and personal. The character can choose to make a melee attack and if successful, she engages her opponent in a clinch rather than dealing damage. While clinched, both characters’ Reach bonuses are negated. To break the clinch and move away, a character must succeed at a Strength + Body Opposed Test, which costs a Complex Action.
→Multi-Strike
A character with this maneuver has trained in attacking multiple targets or with two weapons at once. Apply a +1 dice pool modifier to the total dice pool (not the split dice pools) whenever the character attacks more than one opponent in the same action or attacks with two melee weapons at once.

I've just gotta sort my gear I will post in tomorrow.

Axe, DK, Joker, Father Twilight
Group Capacity: 4/5
Some pretty cool characters in the group so far.
Damn, Rockstar. Your character is armed to the teeth and his ride makes my Horseman look like a pile of @!#$. Lol. I'm gonna have to go read about what a Giant is exactly also. I'm guessing pretty much like it sounds. lol :)
Edit: Bark like skin and 3 meters tall. Jeez. Giants are scary.
-
If people could just list out the points spent in each group it would help me out like:
attributes 200
skills 180
race 40
gear 100
etc.......
DC something to realize is that the fake SIN and the licenses connected to it are linked. If either one gets burned all the others in the "group" are no longer good either. As the SIN is what is most often checked to have it lower means there is more chance of this happening

I hope that helps :) Also I moved a couple points around. Some more contacts. No big changes.
I'm not sure I understand. Should I not have fake licenses? I'm still wrapping my head around some things about Shadowrun. It seems like one is not much use without the other(licenses and sins). I have the best SINs and Licenses I'm allowed to start with. Max availability for starting characters is 12.
SINs:3x4=12
Licenses:4x3=12
If I could have R6 SINs and Licenses I would be alot better off, I agree. Those R3s may lead to some losses. :(
Anyways, you understand this stuff better than me. What do you think I should do?
-
walks, I removed the specializations and put the points into another rank in astral combat.
-
A fake SIN is rating X3 just like the licenses. It is just that the cost is 10X more than with the license.
-
Paladin sounds good.
-
That's not what my core rulebook says, but you're the boss. I'll move some stuff around and get R4s
-
SR4A page 331 fake sin rating (1-6) availability ratingX3 cost rating X 1,000
Is it different in the table in the back?
Just curious because we are going with what it says in the main part of the book just wondering where you saw it
-
pg 322 shadowrun 4e core rulebook. Maybe I have a misprint?
Fake SIN (Rating 1–6) (Rating x 4)F Rating x 1,000¥
-
I'd say it's a misprint since several of the archetypes have rating 4 fake SINs.
-
Thanks for pointing that out to me. I really appreciate it. :D

Maelstorm I have question about your BP breakdown. Did you forget a group or something? When I add up the points (assuming that the Neg Qual of +20 means that you get 20 more points) I come up at 380. Is the other 20 for race?

Hi Walls,

5th player. Nice. Welcome, monkey boy. :D
-
a monkey, an orc, a giant, and two humans, one of which is a catholic priest. Ya we won't stick out at ALL! ;)
-
Lol. That's what I know. ;)
At least three of us can blend in somewhat. But a Giant and a Monkey Man... lol. That's gonna be a bit more tough.
Luckily there are some equally strange people on the street.
-
Looks good Tobias.
-
Cool I did it at 1am without a generator so I think its alright will look later to make sure and flesh him out after work.
FYI I'm in the UK

Tobias,
Here's links to the current threads.
OOC: http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=366.0
IC: http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=368.0
When you're finished with your character you may want to post it over in OOC. I don't think we're gonna keep using this thread for anything. Also, we've started the mission. Jump in anytime.

I'd like to apologize for my lack of effort broke my computer and lost my internet. maybe i'll get in on a game later sorry for wasting your time. Have fun all
XxswitchxX

I'm real sorry to hear that, Switch. We were wondering what happened to you.
I might start GMing a run in the next week or so, so keep your eyes out for that. Right now I'm brushing up on my rules for it. Should be real fun. It will probably be a couple days before recruitment starts. I'm only gonna take people who aren't already playing in a game (I'll take GMs though). It's gonna be roleplay heavy and have some nice action too.
I'll PM you when recruitment starts. Will probably be 4 player.
