:devil: Sure, go for it. Let's just not get too carried away with it, it's more fun to screw up quickly than it is to endlessly agonize. We don't need to pre-plan every action. I'm not too worried, but worth mentioning! It's listed as rounds. So you'll get all your passes and when initiative is...

Shayuri, it's Death Otter's turn. Death Otter - The Matrix, NYNet, NYS Transit Train 213 Host The monstrous red cybereye of Death Otter's persona follows the patrolling guard from beneath a bench as he passes. He looks real in his NYS Transit security uniform but Otter knows too well what he...

Went ahead and re-organized the first post in both threads. Be sure to read how turning it up to 11 and karma-for-cash work.

Beautiful. Most of your assumptions (throughout your post) are accurate. I've been purposefully not detailing everything until everyone's posted and I can start with initiative so as not to overwhelm everything in (even more) walls of text. Suffice it to say - fear not, I'll be providing lists...

Also, about Edge! The only way to use Edge in this game is with Push the Limit (which has to be done before a roll) and Dead Man's Trigger. Edge can also be burned. This obviously makes Edge a bit weaker - to make up for it, you get an additional die when using Push the Limit. I'll include this...

OK. Go ahead and post an introduction in the game thread. I need to know where Otter is in the car and (in brief) what she has on her. The train's host has a rating of 4. This means its attributes are going to be 4, 5, 6, and 7. Otter doesn't know for sure which attributes have which scores...

I'm not seeing any formatting problems but I've went ahead and gotten rid of the GM box.

The game thread is up! You can find it here. I'll have your Chummer sheets to you soon - you don't need to wait for those to begin playing. I'll have the NYS primer uploaded soon, too, which is a very brief description of the Sprawl and its boroughs and neighborhoods. GlassEye, I'm about 80%...

OOC: Describe your starting positions in car three. Give me a brief rundown of what you have with you - everyone can have as much or as little of their belongings on them as they want (that includes drones, GlassEye). Shayuri needs to decide whether Otter's still in a trance and inside the...

Prologue: What Rough Beast The Pensodyne Run Fixers like Big Mac Sexy are a necessary evil for splat jobs like you. Most M&Ms (middle men) aren't willing to throw anything but milk runs and garbage detail at no-rep-having monkeys. So where does a gutterpunk get his start? With a crooked M&M...

ALL THE BRICKS The Game ALL THE BRICKS is a cyberpunk action adventure play-by-post RPG set in the dystopian near-future of our own world. It uses the 5th Edition Shadowrun rules by Catalyst Game Labs. The campaign is set primarily in New York, beginning in 2078. In the future everything is...

His Tritower origin has become important enough to the character (with regards to him believing he was rescued by Thalina as a child) that I'll simply drop one of his languages. I'm swapping orc and goblin for celestial.

The importance of fake SINs in the game cannot be overstated. Everyone should consult page 367 of the SR5 rulebook for information on the different levels of fake SINs. The higher the rating of the fake SIN, the more closely it matches your character and the more convincing its forged records...

The assault rifle is going to be the more versatile option. But you could always do both, swapping guns out depending on the job. This would require purchasing an additional autosoft for one of the guns (I describe autosofts and their errata'd cost in this post). On that note, you could also...

GlassEye, All right, some notes. Right now your character can certainly be viable at controlling drones remotely through an RCC but he might be in danger if he jumps into a drone. If you plan on playing him more as a puppeteer or someone who will fight alongside his drones then there's nothing...

And yesterday was a roommate's birthday! We should be clear of all the celebrations. Rubberneck's character should be finished soon and then I'll be checking GlassEye's character. Hopefully we'll be starting the game proper soon.

And sorry, I'd completely missed your edit, Shayuri. The Matrix is a web on which hangs all the virtual representations of all wirelessly-broadcasting objects (which is 99.9% of things with any sort of electronic component built in the last 15 years). Objects don't just broadcast their signals...

I feel your pain. The Shadowrun rulebook is the messiest and most poorly-designed RPG book that exists. It's a beautiful mess, but still a mess. Riggers use a variety of attributes and skills depending how they're controlling their drones. There's a lot of confusion and debate on the internet...
