Anybody interested in playing Shadowrun?

Douane:

Do you want write-ups from the SR Companion edges & flaws also, or just the CC, MM, and SOTA stuff?

Swarts essence is bit low. What's your opinion, should I try ditching some of his ware?

mistergone:

Muscle replacement isn't bioware; its bioware equal is muscle augmentation and muscle toner.

@Howling Coyote:

No need for the edges/flaws, thanks!

Well, I've to say that he is a little bit on the "inhuman" (as in machine-like), but this is really your decision. Perhaps ditch some of the stuff not central to your maritime theme? (ie. Bone lacing or those low-level filters?)

One thing, HC: Yesterday I got a chance to take look at Man and Machine at my LGS; while going through I read about some piece called "NIctating membranes" (?), wouldn't these be a perfect addition to the PC?


You surely meant to say:

Muscle replacement isn't bioware; its cyberware equal is muscle augmentation and muscle toner.

Looks okay... some of that is bioware though, and I've always disliked muscle replacement... plus, no vehicle skills, which is a negative.. I'm going to respond to Douane's email here soon....

Nope, no bioware in it at all. That is the sample troll merc from the main SR3 book. It is all from that one book. I don't mind if you don't like it, just posted it up since I didn't know what you wanted. Feel free to ignore it, and it is just the sample character from the book, so you could change the skills if you wanted to.

I was thinking that bonelacing was unnecessary also, so I guess they are gone.

Nictitating Membranes are nice and all, but unfortunately they happen to be bioware.

 

[Douane]

Thanks for doing so, Shalimar! [And for the offer of creating a PC]


Just to clear things up, I had mailed mistergone about character creation the last evening (mentioned the no bioware rule), but didn't give a look at the boards (and therefore did not see your kind offer) due to a surprise visit from some friends.

Oops! Should have read more thoroughly, but I guess the shopkeeper wouldn't have liked that.

Still, since they fit the concept so nicely, I would have nothing against them. (And it's not like they are a piece of powergaming.)

Well it is flare compensation and protective covers in one without the essence cost. I guess I could take them since I still got lots of money to spare.

Douane:

I E-mailed Xerd's (almost) complete history and stats to you. As I aren't really too familiar with the world of Shadowrun, please tell me of any not-world-fitting things in the history. I must confess that I suck when making up names, which can be seen at the "contacts" part of the document. Anybody know a good name generator?

And I probably have forgotten something.

Edit: And of course I notice some stuff placed at idiotic places. Xerd's carried stuff weights about 20 Kg (The straining limit for Xerd is 30 Kg, right?).

 

[Howling Coyote]

I'm in slight troubles with Swarts age, since he would be in his fifties now, if he goblinized during his 7th year in the university, with the rest of the world. At first I figured he would be in his thirties or maybe forties, but the SR timeline is too sparse for that. So any suggestion how I should approach this problem?

 

[Douane]

@ HC:

I just reread the stuff concerning this: 2021 was just the first occurence of goblinization. Even today it seems possible for people to transform, even though the goblinization usually sets in during your adolescense, if you aren't born an ork. Perhaps in his case there was some delaying factor, so he got hit during university, for example a magic factor or some genetic aspect. In fact, his genetics seem to be somewhat different, hence his "essence reduction". Perhaps this contributed to the delay?


Just a few thoughts, [Hope they help!]

[EDIT] P.S.: Thanks for the mail with tech info! At least I do know now, what exactly Swart can do.
