Pier 82 - The Cyberhub. (OOC THREAD)

Come for the acts on Stage, the mediocre and overpriced drinks and the cool ambient glow of the neon bent in every shape imaginable. Embark on an experience into the Augmented reality of the world around you and escape day to day life - or get lost in the Matrix and Shadowlands in procured safety.....


Ye olde out of Character chat. Basic, functional, essential.
Keep it civil everyone! We are all here to have fun.

Changelog:

  1. Will add Character Generation(May steal the one you used in Moonlight Shadows just to get the ball rolling, as it serves fine for what is needed. Essentially everyone follows the same rules defined in the Anniversary edition anyways).
  2. Added Game map.
  3. Added Language groups.(Will be amended based on character needs).
  4. Introduction added.
  5. ToDo: Notable faces/NPC thread.
  6. ToDo: Initial thread once group is established, location will START in Seattle but is not locked, long term to this location.

Fifth added.
One thing I have yet to find, or make is default sheets for 4e. Granted Chummer can be used, but having other options works too. So if anyone has come across some for board use, let me know please.

I use Chummer so I'll be going with that. I should get home in a couple hours then I'll transfer the sheet across for you to check.

Assuming you're just using the same charger rules?

As in the other game? Yes - 1:1, as there was little to change in accordance to base rule set(RAW) - however only thing I lack is Karma awarded to you "old" players if at all provided?

Oh. I think I had already finished my character sheet by then. I built my character without that extra.

What say you, new Boss? Include or don't include?

Go ahead and include.
May have a fourth soon, but also pondering if a general advertisement beyond the GM seeking thread would aid here. I am fine either way, but would make it more enjoyable I reckon to have a sufficient influx of comments and players.

I'm sure you'll come up with some suitably sassy name for my elf xD

Pointy, knife-ear, spellslinger, Deuce Bigalow, something.

We are up to five people now. Good enough to get rolling soon.
I will introduce an IC thread soon.

Do note the 5 BP solely for use of building relationships with the other runners as previously mentioned. These are free, and do not count against your starting total.

You do not need to be chums all of you, and ideally through runs that will come naturally.

A thought popped up - in regards to a Johnson or Fixer, did you use one, have a regular or are you fine with freelancing and being called up based on merits and notoriety(not that we have much yet, but I like the mechanics so will use it as a DM thing).?

Anyways, glad to have you all and hope to get rolling soon.
Anything you desire, need or want let me know - threadwise or gamewise that is.

I don't know that we're cool enough to have a Mr. Johnson of our own at this early stage just yet. What does everyone else think?

To be honest, we could just roll with you finding work or being advised by a johnson on the rise or similar fixer, seeking muscle and brain for work. Job well done, means more work.

I read over the street cred/reputation/notoriety rules and dislike the relation to Karma.
What I will be doing, unless an issue, is apply it on a case to case basis.
Example - X runner, murders someone in broad daylight in the Redmont Mall. Will give Notoriety, and hence affect social rolls with fixers, contacts etc.
Basically advising and forcing actions to have consequences. I like that as it forces players to think, not just be murder hobos with a sour grimace.

I will be making a thread for it, with Names, ratings and overview and in which situation it was granted, for full transparancy.

I expect to make an IC thread later today, or early morning.
We have five good people, and a spare if needed(RTJ).

I have been a little busier to start the week, tomorrow should be some more time....

That said if anyone i looking to make connections Fifth has the following easy-ish ones before our first run:

1) Ancient's the gang of course :P
2) Anyone matrix related (he represents a small group of hackers apparently, specialized in getting information more than anything else...if anyone has needed information that might have been a link.
3) Matrix Gaming groups
4) Anyone who has pistol skill and is willing to teach him after the last run taught him that he did in fact need a weapon...
5) Same for unarmed skill

will do my best to get a post up tonight but likely be tomorrow.

No worries! The opening is just that. An option for you to add into the game what you go about doing, day to day life and the option for a gig that pays and throw you together.
Again, and I underline this - if or when I make mistakes - and if something is not as good as desired, do voice up. I am ever willing to adapt, amend things to put enjoyment first and you should have fun and enjoy the depth of the game and ambience of the sprawling world.
