I posted a few comments on him; take 'em or leave 'em. Now, down to business:

1. We'll be starting with premade adventures but I will be modifying them sometimes to fit with the overall arc of the campaign. So, yes, if you've played them before you can probably tell what's going to be important by what I've changed. Just don't spoil it for everyone else! :P

2. Everybody gets a free contact right at the beginning: your (at least initial) fixer, Steelfish. He's an old orc (and retired runner) who runs an old-fashioned bar commonly used as a meeting place and neutral ground by the local shadow community. He starts as a 4/1 contact but you can buy either of those ratings up (at chargen or otherwise) if you want to change your relationship/access with him.Feel free to reassign your points before we begin if this changes how you would have spent them.

3. Here's a question for everyone: do you want to use a dice roller or just go on the honor system? I don't particularly care either way so it's up to all of you.

4. It's your job to keep track of your character's progression (cash, karma, etc.) so I'd suggest creating a Google doc or something for that purpose. Post the link here if you don't mind; I'll put it on the first page of the OOC thread so everyone can see the party easily. Don't forget to unlock it for sharing if you go the GD route. Example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pOI-aHuMf8fsrFrhQn1KIMIWJFPqa_TzZ_gIK-pAZxs/edit?usp=sharing. Here's me. I changed the contact name and swapped my 1 Etiquette for 1 Negotiation, if you care.

For dice, Invisible Castle is probably the best way to go.  Works well, gives us something verifiable (important if someone gets a lucky streak), lets you roll large amounts of dice easily...

So I've heard. I'm not super familiar with how it works, though, and I thought I'd leave it up to everyone.

Basically?  Go to invisiblecastle.com, I'd suggest signing up for an account so you can link your roll to the campaign, you click "Roll Dice", fill in character name, campaign name, number of times to roll the specified dice (useful for extended tests and such), the dice you're rolling in the form Nd6.hits(5), add a note that describes the roll, and click "Roll the Dice".  Then it gives you pre-formatted BBCode to post it to the boards (etiquette would be to put it in a spoiler tag).  Example:

Character Name: Test
Campaign Name: Test
Number of Rolls: 1
Dice: 12d6.hits(5)
Note: This is a test

Result: [spoiler]This is a test (12d6.hits(5)=2)[/spoiler]

Right then, Imperceptible Fortress it is! Please use the campaign name "Soulless in Seattle" (which took me about 3 seconds to come up with) so it groups them all together. I'll be posting IC and OOC topics soon(-ish) so get ready to run the shadows.
