I'll see you guys tomorrow! However, I'll be flying out of town next FRIDAY and I expect to miss TWO games and not return until Oct 13th's game.  Maybe we can think up of some role playing reason as to Bear's absence for two weeks.

Shadowrunners work with each other mainly out of convenience, "Bear doing personal things" is a perfectly usable excuse if you don't want to get elaborate.

Hey all, just wanted to make sure this week's game is on. Sorry I missed last week, there was a flat tire incident. Normally not a huge issue, but if you're in the middle of a National Park on terrible dirt tracks...well, you get the idea.

Totally open this Saturday though, hoping we are on.

[Walder]

Sorry to hear that, mate.

I got your message just now. Haven't checked this damn board in a week.

The game is on tomorrow. FYI, I'll be online from a hotel room, so you might have to add some time on my exact arrival at the game.

[Walder]

I'm very sorry all about leaving. It was unavoidable. If it's any consolation, I have absolutely nothing going on next Saturday, so we're all good for then.

[Heckle]

Hmm, I may be going camping this next Saturday. Will keep you posted, once I know for certain.

[Walder]

Well, that was f'd up. I apologize; the entire thing hinged on you not breaking free as well as you all did.

At any rate, game's on next Saturday. Contact me anytime during the week for what your character has done during their month in San Fran, i.e. contacts, simple criminal work for petty cash, random things you want to set up, etc.

And I totally promise you guys a real run this time, not a total Charlie-Foxtrot.

[Heckle]

So, I've been thinking a little about the game. I'm pretty sure there isn't a single one of us to blame for the way things went down, but I'm hoping that we can avoid such a cluster-f-word in the future. I get that runs go awry and that the world of shadows is one of treachery and deceit, but seriously, How did we manage to piss off a dragon on our first run?

So, I'm proposing everyone involved in the game, players and GM alike, has a bit of a discussion, either here or in a closed forum(Skype, PM, etc.) on the direction we see this game going.

Does that sound reasonable to everyone? Even if it's as simple as each player listing three goals for their character, a couple bullet points on their individual role play style, and one or two examples of runs they would like to go on. I think this would help us all get on the same page, and make it easier for our GM, (who has been doing a good job so far, especially given the disparate group of chars he has), to set up sessions that are fun and satisfying, while still being a challenge for everyone involved.

[Walder]

I agree with Heckle on that; when it's convenient, send me me some info on the kind of runs you want to see, and the kind of play style you enjoy most (pink mohawk, mirrorshades, etc.). I want to plan things out more thoroughly, and tailor the game to your characters, so we can avoid complications specific to certain characters.

[Walder]

Game's on for this Saturday. Those of you who need to send characters to me, please do so soon.

[WhackedMaki]

I won't be able to make it to the next two games. Have plans going on those Saturdays.

[Walder]

Fine by me, mate, sorry to hear.
