Of all the Runners, Heartbreak has the easiest time analyzing Aleksander's data. There's not much direct information about CTI's cyber security, but there's plenty of other useful info. Heartbreak has found the specs for CTI's security drones, and to be frank it will be almost laughably easy to...

Casper works for Sunset Shelters, a depressingly under-funded, under-appreciated, and misunderstood homeless charity organization. Although there are no Amerindians living openly in Denver, Sunset is sympathetic to them and is occasionally in the news for being suspected of employing them...

This search is an extended (short), easy (threshold 6) test using the Computer skill. Skinny defaults to his Logic (4) rating for this test. After four intervals, Skinny has earned only 3 successes, and fails the test. He cannot find any information on the Matrix regarding which offices are...

Saint is more easily able to access the CTI blueprints from Aleksander's files than Skinny is. He experiences the data in a more pure way, as if watching a movie where he could control the action. Saint finds that he can access most areas of the building virtually, although some of the more...

The market is on street level, and can be easily seen from the two buildings directly to the west of the CTI campus. The southern of these two buildings is a Bank of Colorado corporate building, about 20 stories tall. North of this is a generic office building, about 15 stories. There are some...

Skinny pores through the data in an old-fashioned, familiar way. The first file that catches his eye is a budget report for Crash Test Industries 4th quarter. It isn't public information yet, so Aleksander must have paid someone for it (or stolen it) from the inside. The file reads like a...

Aleksander's icon smiles broadly at Heartbreak. "We owe each other, my friends. Together we become wealthy, one run at a time." Each of the Runners' comlinks send their owner a notification of incoming data files from Aleksander. The files are very large, and seem to include details about the...

"On the contrary, my friend. Crash Test Industries has spared no expense to secure their campus. Autonomous drones, mostly, but I expect you'll have no lack of things to break on this run. Alas, I can reveal no more until your compatriots agree to the terms, but trust me when I say this job is...

Elf is available (dwarf as well) at the start of the game. You'll be one of a very small number of "spike baby" elves, who were born before UGE in 2011. Until 2011, the spike baby elves were so small in number that most people just considered them to be deformed humans. You'll face a lot of...

There are a few considerations to make for this negotiation roll. Aleksander is friendly to you (+2 dice for you) however your desired result (giving him less of the cut) is annoying to him (-1 dice). This means your total roll is 5 dice instead of 4. I rolled for you and got 3 hits...

And we're off to the races! The game thread has been posted here.

There he was, all alone for one glorious moment. Alone, yes, but not lonely. Aleksander had never been lonely in his life. People orbited him like moons, pulling him every direction. Slowing him down. Changing him. Heads up. One is coming. He looked up, and a moment later his field of vision...

I actually expected that it would take longer than usual to finish up character sheets. I don't think any of us have actually played this edition of Shadowrun before, and this specific setting puts a lot of extra restrictions on character creation. I'll be making the first post today as...

PM the character sheet directly to me. You can go into however much detail you want in this thread, except don't post specific stat number values here.

Sounds good to me. April gives us plenty of wiggle room for completing a preliminary run or two. Just keep in mind that our campaign wont be "pure" (for lack of a better word) when it comes to character creation. Because we're playing in such an earlier part of the Shadowrun timeline, there's...

Sorry about how quickly the game was closed, Canadienne! It went even faster than 48 hours, to be honest. I cheated a bit and recruited a group that I was comfortable from playing a previous game with, so it was actually closed before the first was even made. The reason I closed it right away is...

To be fair, there are two cyberdecks with availability 3. These devices represent bleeding edge tech that corps haven't even begun to exploit yet. The term "cyberdeck" doesn't even exist in normal lingo yet (although they will be mass produced much earlier in our game than in the normal SR...

Just giving this thread a nudge to remind everyone to submit their characters, hopefully today or tomorrow. Sunday you'll be thrown to the shadows, ready or not! If anyone is having trouble with their character and wants to talk through it with me, just hit me with a PM and I'll be happy to...

Notes on Edge In order to keep the pace of the game from stagnating every time a dice roll is made, Edge effects will be modified. I have made every effort to preserve the relative power of this stat compared to the others. Edge cannot be used for the Second Chance ability. This is to prevent...

Welcome to the shadows, grandpa Arthur! We're gonna' get off your lawn now.
