[Shadowrun] OOC Thread :: CLOSED [calling Shalimar, Gramcrackered, Mike DF]

Here's a formal OOC thread to replace the poll one.

 

[Shalimar]

Looks good, who still needs what for us to get cooking on the game?

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Just for me to look over everyone's characters once again and come up with the opening hooks. I have the first run right here on some sheets of paper beside me.

For the 3d6x100 starting money. Do you want to throw it or do we throw it?

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

You can do it. I'll trust you not to cheat.

I guess while we're making the final preparations, we should go over how we're going to do things. Would you guys rather I roll skill rolls, etc., or give you the TN and have you do it? Either way works by me.

When attacking, please note how much damage we're dealing with. I don't have weapon stats memorized.

I'm ordering MitS and Rigger 3 today, so I should have them before too long.

I'm not sure, I think us doing the rolls would allow us to decide if we want to us Karma faster, but that should come up so unfrequently that we could just say ahead of time that we wanted to use Karma pool and it wouldn't be a big deal. I think if you did the roll it would end up faster, we just need to specify in our info that we want to use x amount of combat pool, or Y amount of spell pool for such and such an action, and the remainder for another type of action.

In that case, that make me a big 400 nuyen (yeap, roll 1,1 and 2... and see anyone telling me that I cheat )

I<ve always prefered to be the master, personally.

There's the Rogue's Gallery thread, since I don't think I linked to it off this thread yet. First two of the three in the title who get characters up there are in, the other's going to have to go back on the alt-list. But you'll get priority, so all's not lost.

Alt-list: (whoever), dave_o, Sparky

I'm going through the contacts of those stuck on the RG so far to create opening hooks. For those of you who took contacts but didn't name them, I'm going to play around with who they are to get you a better hook.

Velmont -- Re: your corporate exec contact; do you have any preferences on what corp he's employed by?

Something else I did just to let people take a gander. I dug up maps of the area and played hell with 'em as sourcebooks do. So here's maps of the Lancaster County area in general and Columbia in particular.

Columbia Map
1: Neon Blue Apocalypse. Techno-club, a pretty rough place. Controlled by the Yakuza.
2: This bar actually has no name, it was never given one. It's run (rather shoddily) by an ork named Jimmy the Bug.
3: Union Hotel. A historical building. Also an upscale bar and grill.
4: Fast Times, a rather sleazy bar. Caters to riggers and other sorts.
5: former Universal Brotherhood chapterhouse.
6: Mt. Bethel Cemetery, home to many of the town's ghouls and ghosts.
7: D. Don't be caught in this restaurant if you're a meta.

The big black circle in the south of the map is the "Goblin Market", site of a large sinkhole which started caving a few years ago (in RL) but was caught. In 2032, it fell again. Many of Columbia's more noticable metas (orks and trolls) started building tiers of Pueblo-style housing in the pit. In recent years, any number of HMHVV-infected dwarves (goblins) have moved in as well.

And then we have the two corporate zones, S-K being Saeder-Krupp, SH being Shiawse.

Yeah, for my contact, I want someone from Harley-Davidson. It is not the one speaking in my background. That one, I hold a grudge on him, but it wasn't the only one who I had contact with. So I wouold have keep some contact with another, someone who was surely fan of what I had done during the time of my contract with them.
