Death Otter let the walls of the host shake with white noise, let the sounds of the NYNet grid outside pour in. She could tell she'd left a trail of breadcrumbs for GOD to follow, but not too much. Kind of funny considering what a disaster things had become in meatspace. As I explained earlier...

While a frag grenade would kill everyone in a subway car it would have remarkably little effect on the car itself. So you guys could do this: Faust kills the entire team of runners and you all make new characters. But first we continue to calculate where the empty car goes. Maybe the car enters...

As a heads-up: Each car is capable of operating independently from the others. They all have their own engines. So if you uncoupled two cars they would continue to match speed and course with each other (and therefore not separate at all) until you started applying speed/course differences to...

Death Otter could always turn herself into the authorities and repent for her criminal ways.

I'm going to rule that it has to "refresh" the power on each of its passes (kind of like suppressing fire). If it has a pass and doesn't use its complex action to suppress then all the queued IC launch, rolling initiative (with the -10 per completed pass as usual).

Pg 256 describes sprite powers as requiring "Standard Resonance Actions". The bad news is that a Standard Action is a Complex Action (Standard Actions are a relic from an earlier version of the game that were renamed Complex Actions - not all the references to them were removed in the final...

Ah, OK - I was combining the pdf you posted and the other sheet. I'll have to go through and re-calculate things later tonight. That will of course mean you can afford those autosofts and the ammo so I'll put all that back. As for starting cash, the limit is 5,000 + your lifestyle roll. I...

Lunchmeat goes sprawling a few steps, three new holes in her ballistic vest. She was nearly knocked unconscious by the impacts but none of the bullets seem to have made it through. She'll have to remember to post positive feedback for Ares Macrotechnology on her favorite social media platform...

Yeah, you happened to choose probably the most complicated character to build, hah. The Desert Strike and Shin-Hyung are both accounted for in my sheet, so no problem there.

OK, I have city info for the traditional five boroughs plus Yonkers up. The last two boroughs (Newark and Jersey City) and a rough neighborhood map will have to wait until tomorrow or the day after. You can feel free to read through them and find locations for your lifestyles now or wait until...

OK, as always, calculating and confirming characters is a real pain the ass. Below are your finalized character sheets - if you have any issue with them let me know. It's very, very likely that the amount of nuyen I have listed doesn't match what you have - there's really not a great way to...

Death Otter - The Matrix, NYNet, NYS Transit Train 213 Host The crack sprite's infection spreads through the car, slow at first, then faster. The Patrol IC ducks for cover behind a bench, closing his eyes as the walls around him turn black. Thankfully for him he can't see FUTBOL while he's...

And also, I didn't answer the question you asked in the IC thread: Sprites have their own personas. This means that the Host needs to mark them separately - so yup, the crack sprite can run silent. It also means that the sprites need to do their own marking on objects in the Matrix.

Nope! Pg 250 describes the Call Sprite action. In fact, technically FUTBOL won't even arrive until the start of the next round.

A Host and all its IC share marks. So that means that the Host and the Patrol IC each have 1 mark on Death Otter right now. New IC that are spawned in will each have that mark on her automatically. And you have too many actions in your turn. It's a simple action to give the order to the crack...

For your summoner/compiler types, I'll only describe your spirits and sprites if you don't - so go nuts! Remember, Mosier, that your spirit is delaying its action until after your turn, when it will immediately use its turn to manifest (a complex action) and begin moving. This means that, as...

Herald is suddenly flush with a deep red aura - in the next moment it's gone and his eyes and hands have returned to normal. The temperature in the car is rising and within a second or two it's like a sauna. There's no visible change so there's no telling what the magician has done. Rolling...

Come to think of it, she'd also be able to see through anything with a camera that her runners were sharing with her. So she'd be able to see through Lum and Faust's smartgun cameras, etc.

She'd hear everything Lunchmeat's been shouting and lots and lots of gunfire. And yeah, it wouldn't be too hard to improve the drone's recoil compensation. Add a shock pad and a gas vent system to the weapon - though keep in mind that it has a base recoil of 2 that I'd forgotten to add each...
