PM sent, but I will say here. I am interested in playing, new to SR4 (I have the books never really got to play a full game). I'm interested in playing a Hacker.
-
Save a slot for Raven Runner, I'm sending them a PM to this link now.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm in.
Good you got my message :)
-
yes, I'm in, thanks for having my back Kat9
This Thursday (tomorrow) is probably not good but my Thursday's are mostly free after that, I would like know ASAP which Thursdays it's happening since my schedule is complicated.
Looking forward to this, Raven
-
Tomorrow also fails for me. I have sword practice.
-
Working on my character now, making a hacker. Going to have a few pilot skills, but not really a rigger.
I also suggest we look into infrno for the map and dice rolling being built in. I'm fine with skype for conversation :)
-
OK folks, I am pretty much finished with my hacker. I've got a _few_ drones, but I'm not a rigger in the "Drones with machine gun" sense. I don't have a vehicle for us.....or for me for that matter...
-
I can definitely cover vehicle/driving and machine guns for that matter. Probably playing a weapons spec. But I'm pretty flexible so I'd like to here what other people have, and a bit of back storie if you got it :)
Also seems from a PM I got that slide885 might be having messaging issues with this site, so how are we all going to communicate? I'm big on team stuff so having a way for every one to communicate on a message board seems necessary.
And I would really like some one to explain why people prefer Skype over Infrno.
Raven
-
Familiarity. People use skype for non-gaming stuff, so they like it more because they know how to use it. I have no interest in learning how to use Infrno and if I was really shooting for maps and diagrams and props and such.... I'd be hosting a weekly game at my house. Sorry to be blunt, but at least I am honest.
-
Talking with him on skype now, letting him to know to look in when he has some time.
-
Personally, I like infrno vs skype. Infrno is dirt simple to learn you just log on. I like the dice are right there.
I turn to online games because I can't find a tabletop game RL. If I had one local I wouldn't even be having the skype vs infrno conversation. I'd be chucking dice and eating munchies with people local ;)
-
Seconded whole heatedly, it's not the same when you can't throw your dice at the other players :)
-
I didn't know about inferno till yesterday. I won't have internet till sat. Ill check it out then.
It sounds good.
-
Ok, so I'm the aforementioned "old chummer" just now getting around to posting. I'm in the process of setting up a forum, checking out infrno, and all that jazz. I'm pretty flexible of characters, but at the moment I'm leaning towards a sammy of some kind. I'm wavering between elf and orc for metatype, which has a pretty profound effect on personality and worldview, so it pretty much colors everything else about the character too. There's a fair chance I'll work on both while other people talk about their characters and use the one that seems like it would be the most interesting in the group... Unless other people are doing the same sort of thing, in which case, just say so, and I'll pick one so you can make a decision and we can move forward.
-
Hey, we could use some cybermuscle so go for it. Personally, I say go ork!
-
Understood about Skype, I still prefer Infrno but no hard feeling if we use Skype, and I would be in a RL game if that where possible for me.
The character I have the most work into is an elven weapons spec. I won't go to deep into back story as that may not be known till later in game but fairly independent, either taking leadership or being the one to sneak around the back or some such thing, but still very much a team player. Had a run in with a international group of some kind a few years back so they jump at the chance to make her life hell, fortunately they have other things to do so they don't rear they're ugly head very often. Also, my character values reiability and comradely, she might meet you by giving you a lift, or ask to crash at your place, and if you pick on the little guy or betray the team she might shoot you. She is easy going and friendly at first appearance but once you get to know her a bit better she can be a rather blunt cold and parinoid.
As far as stats go, good with guns and vehicles, using, fixing, building, modifying. Some social skills an enemy and maybe some bio ware for an extra IP if every one else is going that way. Not huge dice pools though, and I still got some points. Generaly emphasize role playing over by dice pools.
That's all for now, looking forward to seeing what you all are thinking, Raven

I have a full Forum up and ready. I was using it as a Data Dump for all my Shadowrun information.... in fact it has a lot of canon (And custom) info on it nicely organized.
-
PM Sent and Posting here also. If there is room I would like to join in.. I normally play hacker/matrix users but i can fill any role needed by the group.
thanks for your time

About Mouse.
Mouse is a hacker, sort of new to the shadows and trying to show he's got what it takes. His father and mother were runners in Berlin, his father was killed during a run when Crash 2.0 hit. His mother, a decker that was not jacked in at the time went legit and joined up with NeoNet. Mouse having been raised on stories of his father and mother's history struck out on his own after his mother was killed in an extraction gone bad.
As far as skills go, when it's involving the Matrix he's got it covered. Hacking, electronic warfare, hardware, software no problem. When it comes to combat, that's when there might be issues. First of all, he's a pacifist (The 5 point version), he'll light someone up with stick-n-shock, but he's not for wanton violence. He knows first hand how it feels when runners get trigger happy and people are left to pick up the pieces. Don't hand him a heavy weapon, he's likely to hurt himself and the people around him (Incompetent Heavy Weapons). While he DOES have a SIN, there's 'something' in the net looking out for him because things tend to disappear (Erased 24 hours). He's got a few small drones that he can use for physical information gathering but none of them are armed.
Basically he's a talented, geared, but untested runner. He's got a Fixer Contact (Mister E) that he might have gotten connected with the team that way. He's got connections with HackerHouse to help him keep up to date on the latest software as well as dig up information here and there.
-
So far we have..
Hacker
Street Sam
Weapon Expert.
We still need magic support and maybe a wheelman.
-
Personally I think a mage and an adept would round out the group perfectly.
Still waiting to hear back from bob and lysa
-
well i havn't ever played an adept or a mage.. i think ill give adept a try... ill have him have some driving skills also and a van unless everyone has their own transport...
-
I think I might just have enough left over for a skateboard ;)
-
oh just curious is anyone else using chummer for making a keeping track of their chars?
just in case the link for it is here http://www.dndjunkie.com/blog/?p=88 (http://www.dndjunkie.com/blog/?p=88) the download link is in the upper right hand corner of the page.. its really nice
-
Oh yeah I'm a fan of Chummer. As an aside, sent you a friend request on infrno....assuming that's you..
-
One more and I feel we would have the perfect sized group.
-
Fuck, I've never used Infrno....
anyways, I am either running a smuggler or Hermetic Mage. I have a tactical extraction specialist, but I feel he would overshadow or be overshadowed by the Sam.
-
I had never used skype since it first came out until my Mutants & Masterminds group wanted to use it for voice chat.
-
Lysa I've tried PMing you. I'll send you the forum and my skype one more time. I want you in the game since you have been saying you want in from the start :D
If you still don't get my PM then PM me.
-
Waaahooooo great game!
-
I thought there wasn't a game last night?
-
Sure was, the information was posted on the private forums and the registration for the game.
-
Well that sucks, had I known I would have skipped sword practice. This is part of the problem with using a 2ndary forum to communicate. I never check that thing, I always check here.

The Big Flood
It had been raining for days and days, and a terrible flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.
As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. "Climb in!" shouted a man in the boat. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.
The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.
Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. "Heavenly Father," he said, "I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?" God gave him a puzzled look, and replied "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

I get the point of the story in the fact that you're trying to say "Hey, get on that other forum, hey get on that other forum, hey get on that other forum."
But I told you, twice, that I disliked the other forum and would probably not be checking it. You could have thrown me a skype message or one here and said "Yo bro, game thursday. Hope to see you there."
Sorry, I just don't feel like piddling around on a 4th forum. I'll see you next thursday (Hopefully?) if there is still a spot for me. If not, then I guess I'll wait until the current campaign is finished. If that too fails, then I guess I'll find another game.
-
Sorry bro, I sent you my skype info in a PM but you never acknowledged the PM.
So I can't contact you on skype.
I can't email you.
I can't leave a post on our forums.
I can't contact you on here.
I can't contact you on infrno.
I don't know what more I could do.
-
I am almost positive you are on my Skype....
-
Well, I'm not. :)
-
Yeah you are. I have our message up about the forum and infrno and I'm reading it right now. Get on skype and I'll show you.
-
I've been on skype since 8am.
See, what I think is happening here is you think I am someone else.
-
I do believe you are correct. Which means I've been discussing my character generation and schedule for gaming with someone else..... now I am agitated.
-
I wanna play! I should be available, and how do you conference skype.
-
Any chance there's still openings here?
