I'm definitely not married to the idea of playing a Matrix-focused character. I was also considering a social-focused Aspected Magician as well, so if your heart is ones and zeroes, I'll happily scoot over.

Thanks for the invite, Melon! I'm looking forward to playing with the crew again. I'm interested in playing a Technomancer, more focused on infiltration and manipulation of the wireless world than on Matrix combat. Sure, I'll be able to smash stuff in cyberspace when it's absolutely necessary...

Heartbreak is concentrating on Aleksander's job, but he's only half into it. The work is menial, and not engaging. Aleksander has already prepared everything for him, and presented it to him in an obviously packaged way. Aleksander clearly wants Heartbreak to dislike councilman Wynand, which...

Saint examines the data files away from the other runners. As he works, he can hear the *click-clack, click-clack* of a computer keyboard coming from his right. His sister is typing something secret, and has been for the past several days. He could open the file if he really wanted to, but he...

OK, so the AC was actually fixed yesterday, but it took until today to get my head screwed on straight again. The new post is up! I hope the brief delay didn't throw anyone off.

OOC: Today is Monday, January 9, 2012. Aleksander expects you to gain Ironjaw's favor, and his agreement to have the Rekkers assault Wynand's campaign office in two days, on Wednesday January 11. "I really must be going now," Aleksander says to the others. "You have only two days to complete...

It will be at least a day or two before I can update the game thread. Today is the third day of no air conditioning, and the technician fixing it says it probably won't be done before tomorrow due to parts currently on order. The highs here in Vegas are between 99 and 104 degrees right now! I'm...

Aleksander replies, "You say blame. I say credit. As I said, asking 'why?' is something professionals such as us do not have the luxury of doing. I do not know our sponsor's motivations, but there are many explanations to choose from, if you must. Perhaps the person who hired us does not want...

For a brief moment, Aleksander looks almost embarrassed. Through the cartoon-Poseidon's features, he eyes Mac dubiously, as if reconsidering his faith in her. But then the moment is gone, and he replies, "You will have a van. It is old and unfashionable, but where you're going it will fit...

"He knows you're human." He glances at Heartbreak. "Well, most of you, anyway." The crew can tell that he's uncomfortable answering the follow-up question, though. "You are to meet with him, not infiltrate his gang. To be frank, he would not tell me exactly what he wanted with a Runner team...

"It is a matter of access," Aleksander says. "This man is not some peasant you can just walk up to. He is Denver city councilman, Vincent Wynand." For the others, the explanation seems satisfying enough. However, Heartbreak sees through this minor deception, and can tell that Aleksander is not...

Aleksander retorts immediately, "My friend, by my calculations your hourly rate is nearly three thousand nuyen. If you feel underpaid, perhaps you'd prefer a corporate wage? Although, the executive vice president of network security for Suzuki makes significantly less than your rate, so I wonder...

The first post has been made for Awakening Apocalypse Chapter 2 - The End of the Beginning

Awakening Apocalypse, Chapter 2 - The End of the Beginning January 9, 2012. 8:50 am. Change has come. People know it, but they just haven't accepted it yet. Life will never be the same for most people, who live in comfortable routine. Those people will be crushed; willingly enslaved by anyone...

It has been brought to my attention that I have overlooked a couple of rules, especially when it comes to combat. I was under the mistaken impression that SS weapons were the only type of pistols that could not use two simple actions to fire twice in the same phase. The actual rules are that NO...

Denver Chronicle - Page 1. December 21, 2011. Disease Deforms One In Twenty Immediately following the appearance of the beast first seen nearly one week ago in Japan, widespread reports came from all over the world, of the sudden onset of a terrible new disease. Surgeon General Richard Stevens...

Sounds fun! Don't worry if everything isn't perfect. If you have something in the general area of "almost finished" we can include Mac in the first posts, she'll just auto-fail any dice rolls. That's probably not a big deal either, as the first couple of pages in the last chapter had very few...

The first post for Shadowrun: Awakening Apocalypse - Chapter 2 will be up tomorrow evening, Monday 6/1/15. CanadienneBacon, if Mac's character sheet is not ready before then, we'll introduce her into the game at the first opportunity. At this time, everyone please reset your damage tracks and...

Mr. President, In the beginning, we were many and you were few. We welcomed you as brothers. With one hand you greeted us warmly, even as the other drove a dagger into our back. For five centuries you bled us like cattle, but could not find it within yourselves to deliver the final killing...

Street level play rules give 75,000 nuyen if the player chooses Priority A: Resources. A rating 1 control rig is 43,000 nuyen.
