That approach is a double edged sword, though. A hacker who gets spotted and marked enough has his physical location revealed. If he's alone somewhere, he could be more vulnerable (but not necessarily so) than if he were with his squad mates. Also, once a hacker is dumped out of a host, he won't...

As you become more familiar with hacking, you'll start to be able to feel out situations like this. The choice for what to do next is more a matter of style than efficiency. Hacking in shadowrun is an art! You mentioned that Heartbreak wants to address the "everything is awesome" backup plan...

If you guys have any OOC-type questions, feel free to ask here. Or, if you need a bit of in-character direction, contact Aleksander in the game thread. He'll be full of advice about how to tackle this run; his reputation is on the line!

Below Skinny is the stairwell landing/hallway where Heartbreak and Saint have just entered, but due to the angle of the view he can't put eyes on them yet. If Skinny spoke in his normal voice, the acoustics of this area would allow the others to hear him. Seeing as how this is just the emergency...

Skinny is using Edge for the first time this campaign. Here are a few notes about Edge, for those who aren't familiar with Shadowrun. To use Edge, refer to page 56 of the 5E rulebook. You may spend Edge to Push the Limit, Seize the Initiative, Blitz, Close Call, or Dead Man's Trigger. In this...

Heartbreak is wary of the patrol IC that looks like a referee. It's bouncing between various icons, scanning everything it sees as it gradually comes closer to where Heartbreak is running silent. The Patrol IC uses Matrix Perception to check for silently running icons in the area. The patrol...

Saint and Heartbreak both enter the restricted area through the underground garage emergency exit door closest to Saint's car. The door leads to a short hallway, with a door on the right, and a stairway at the end of the hall. There is a stale smell in the air, and the hallway has bare...

I wonder what the problem is with enworld lately. I haven't been locked out completely yet, but there have been times where my tablet will access it without issue, while my desktop times out 9 times out of 10, and only loads after 5 minutes or more on the 10th try. What problem could possibly be...

Actually, your deck stats are on the character sheet you sent me, and it showed attack 4 and sleaze 3. I'll update the sheet I have for you with the new numbers you provided. Also, keep in mind you can change the numbers around using a complex action to switch two numbers at any time!

The ceiling is very high in the public areas, with no obvious areas for her to enter or escape from. The vaulted ceilings are meant to add to the illusion of largeness in the public area. Further complicating this is the fact that there are security cameras mounted on the ceiling all over the...

Heartbreak engages hot-sim mode on his cyberdeck, and immediately a rush of excitement washes over him. The landscape of the Matrix opens wide before and above him, and he notes with satisfaction that there is even more form and substance in the Matrix than the last time he hot-simmed. In the...

12th December, 2011 - 12:30pm Casper and Skinny The two infiltration experts, ironically, are in the group that walks through the front door, just like any other tourist or customer. There are so many people in the public area of the Crash Test Industries campus that nobody really notices...

Although Saint is wearing more than one layer of armor, only the highest value piece counts toward his armor rating. Also, as Rubberneck helped me realize, I have neglected to describe the parking accommodations at Crash Test Industries campus. Parking is entirely underground, accessed via a...

12th December, 2011 - Crash Test Industries, Denver campus The Shadowrunners have split into two groups. Skinny and Casper make up the first group. It occurs to both of them that a stranger would have assumed she was protecting him, not the other way around. Heartbreak and Saint make up the...

The Poseidon image on the O-K-Coffee menu board cuts in. "I know I said 'pretend I'm not here,' but I am afraid I must now make it official. Goodbye my friends. You seem to have the planning of this felony well in hand. Call if you need me." A moment later, and Aleksander's icon is gone...

Great to have you both back! Now lets go wreck things and sabotage stuff!

Okay, in light of the issues the enworld site is giving us, I think it's a good idea to put the game on hold for a week or so, or until Shayuri and Glasseye are able to resolve the technical issues with the site.

That's weird. How would you like me to handle this? I'm ok with minimizing Heartbreak's impact for now, and run him as an NPC until you get the technical issues resolved.

Shayuri and Glasseye - are you guys still playing? Please post in the game thread by tomorrow night.

10th December, 2011 - 19th and Broadway - Denver, CO - 1:00pm The Runners have assembled at the O-K-Coffee, just north across E 19th street from the Crash Test Industries campus. The coffee shop is a small, single-story building bordered on three sides by a chain link fence. A used car lot is...
