I'm looking to run an SR5 game via internet on Friday nights or Sunday(any time after noon).
Looking for 3-5 players. Will begin play using the Street Scum rules found on Pg. 350 of SR5.
If you are interested, please post with your preferred times. Earliest I could start on Fridays would be 7:30PM Central.
-
I could be interested; Fridays at 7:30PM Central would work great! I have a table-top game on Sundays, so that wouldn't work well for me.
Also; do you mean street level, or street scum (alternate Priority choices, specifically B, C,D, E, E or C, C, D, D, E)? I ask, because street level tends to punish nuyen-reliant character types a bit more than karma-based ones.
-
I meant street level. I'm aware of the complaint about the cash/karma breakdown. Is it severe enough to strongly discourage anyone from playing? I consider the 'street level' optional, as I prefer games that lead into the characters BECOMING shadowrunners rather than starting off as marginally successful ones. If people are down for that Friday 7:30 time slot but not down for street level, I can drop that.
-
I'm up for either, personally, but I tend to play magic-types, so it doesn't affect me much. I totally agree with games that lead into the job as well; I'd just suggest Street Scum optional rules (around-about page 356 in the Core, changes the options you have on the Priority Table) as a better alternative to Street Level (which just cuts into nuyen and starting Karma).
-
Page 350, for reference. Yes, I think those are considerably better. Edited original post.
-
I'm tentatively interested, with Fridays being my preferred time. Where would the game be set, BTW? Also, which of the two Street Scum options are you looking at?
FWIW, in my version of the PDF those rules are on page 354.

as written it is intended to be players choice. Do you go for the more pointed or the more round runner? Let me tell you, two Es really blows. Especially if you want to be awakened ~_~
As for the game, i would love to join you guys, but sadly my deadlands game is at roughly the same time on Fridays :(

Player choice, they are meant to be equivalent. I played around and made a respectable CCDDE last night to see how the stats would work out. As for setting, I am considering CAS at the moment, but that's not set in stone.

Roger - I'll take a look. Priority this evening goes to my wife's birthday, however. :)
-
Out of curiosity, where is this game going to be located, and what kind of game do you intend to run? Pink Mohawk, Black Trenchcoat? Leverage-style con games, NCIS investigations as compared to NCIS: LA spec-ops shenanigans?

Again, CAS. Starting off on the gutterpunk/surviving the street kind of vibe. As for how people choose to pursue their objectives, I'm pretty agnostic. If the players have a working grande scheme of the Ocean's 11 type, that's fine. If the plan is to kick down the door and shoot anyone who resists...that's also fine, as long as they are willing to accept the consequences of either.
The opening setup will be Barrens/slums, dregs of humanity. Although I will by no means REQURE the characters be from that environment. They could be anything. My opening sequence should be able to accommodate anyone, from any walk of life.

I meant a little more specific than the CAS itself. We talking New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas? The further south, the more Aztlan influence, for example, and I enjoy tailoring my character ideas to the city, generally.
I'm currently thinking I might make some magical muscle, Ork adept, perhaps? Maybe aluminum-laced fists of fury instead. Unarmed combat is always fun if done right...
-
I'm ok with this, will get you a character by sunday at latest

Austin, TX. Home of Lone Star. Split between CAS and Aztlan. Needless to say, Aztlan has a strong influence.

While I am at it, since I didn't mention it earlier:
Street Scum creation rules with the availability capped at 10. I haven't found 10 to be a particularly difficult cap to work with, but it will tone it down just a wee bit. If you have a particularly good reason to have a particular item above 10 I'm willing to negotiate.
-
I've decided on Augmentation route; think a Sangre y Acero pit fighter ork who got out of that life, and found a new one further north.
-
I've had a conflicting commitment arise for Friday nights, so won't be able to join. Best wishes on the game though, sounds like fun!
-
Thanks for the heads up. Still have a spot or two for more! Message me on here and/or respond in this thread if interested.
-
Postponing for one more week so that I can accommodate schedules for someone. Could still use one more player at this point for Friday 10/17/2014, 7:30pm CST.
-
Sounds like a good start to me. Mind PMing me your Skype handle, so we can communicate further?
-
I wouldn't mind jumping in myself. AFAIK I should be able to make it, sans something ridiculous coming up.
If its street scum I might be able to work up a character, though there would be a lot of talking between us about it.
-
We should be on for this Friday, got everything sorted out. I'm going to try to have some setting information up on D20 before Friday but I'll be going ahead whether or not I get that done first. Still need characters from most people. I don't care what format you make them in as I'm entering them into a system on my end for tracking regardless. Just like to go over them first.
Street Scum(page 350 on Errata version of .pdf) character creation.
Availability generally limited to 10 but I've been allowing a couple things higher if they don't really push the envelope too much.

Still any spots Shade? I haven't tried making street Scums yet, but shouldn't be a problem. Fridays 8:30 eastern is good for me, or whatever is decided upon.

Specced out a street level mysad dodger, how many do you have so far?
I saw the Ork pitfighter, anyone else have a concept specced out?
-
It's Street Scum, not Street-Level, and the game started last Friday. I pulled out (along with my character), but there's still at least 2 ork street sams in the group.

I specced him as i believe scum, with no A priority, and double E's.
-
I am interested in getting started with a new group. I am open to playing any class of character. If there is something you need to round out the group, let me know and I'll work it up.
My availability is every Sunday evening/late afternoon, or every other Friday.
