Title: The London Game, pre-read and rules **recruitment closed**, check 1st post
Post by: Csjarrat on <06-13-13/1002:44>

London Campaign

The format:
A team of 4-5 players will begin working in the London shadows, initially as a solo mission before joining up with the other members of the team for a series of bigger runs.
These runs will take place initially in Britain and then expand across the continent as the stories unfurl.

Chargen:
No changelings/surge AT ALL. Nothing from WAR! (I don’t own it)
No TM’s: unless an experienced player who knows it inside out, hackers are totally fine though and matrix will be played as an important function of the game.

Firearms are heavily regulated and restricted in Britain and always have been.
Sports rifles and shotguns are available to those with a SiN and must be licensed (background checks taking several days). There are no concealed carry permits at all in Britain. These types of weapons tend to be seen on hunts, at rifle clubs and in the country. A small select group of freelancers also have permits for para-critter population control for the various desolation zones around the old nuclear plants from the early 2000’s, though these groups are vetted and monitored at the governmental level.
All firearms are automatically +4 avail, anything with the burst fire/full auto mode is at +8. As mentioned, rifles and shotguns are restricted. all firearm-type ranged weaponry outside this is F. all BF/FA is rated F. Heavy weapons and Laser weaponry are unavailable to purchase, no matter how good your contacts are.
Archery kit is popular amongst re-enacters and the nuvo-green movement who have taken to living from the land, these are legal to own and available through retail, though open carry in urban areas is a criminal offence and heavy crossbows are rated R.

Non-lethal weaponry such as tasers/pain inducers are legal and available for personal carry.
Rating 12 is the highest avail allowed. Restricted gear allowed on GM approval (things like response 6 for matrix specialist are cool, minigun for a troll not so much).
(GM note, I don’t want to discourage weapons specialists, I just want to reflect how difficult they are to get hold of and carry in a civilised area that doesn’t have a gun history. A gun will swing a combat at a crucial time but will draw you national headline attention should an official bite a bullet or a raging gun-battle erupt with the ‘Met Police.  Due to low occurrence rate of firearms based crime, all opposition are tooled to deal with more melee based threats than firearms. London Metropolitan police retain a Firearms response unit however. Police in other capitals (eg Paris) may carry light pistols, but most forces in Britain are armed with tasers and stun batons.)
Melee combat is alive and well and it would serve you well to be able to at least defend yourself in this manner.

Interesting characters are more likely to be picked for this campaign and a healthy group with a diverse skillset is my goal with this campaign. As much as everyone loves playing mages, I’m not going to pick 5 mages for the team, so please don’t moan that a relatively unoptimized smuggler/face with scuba diving skills gets picked over your MAG 6 super-tuned augmented spell slinger. Ideally the team will have a mage, a face, a matrix specialist and the rest with interesting skills (demo, diving, climbing, electronic warfare, forgery, B&E etc etc)

Vehicles would definitely make your life in the shadows easier, London employs a version of gridguide, but much like it’s counterparts in other countries, the poorer areas tend not to work too well. London is a coastal city, split in half by the river Thames. Many commuters use the ferry up the river and private boat travel is not uncommon amongst those with cash and influence. Air travel is available cheaply throughout the country and to/from the continent. Most European capital cities can be reached in less than 2hours, even on the slowest of services, and international + suborbital  services from London Heathrow International can get you to almost any population centre on the planet within a matter of hours. As well as this, a high speed Maglev rail service connects Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London through the Channel Tunnel to Paris, Brussels and beyond, allowing travel times of one hour between London and Paris. A freight service also runs on these lines and a relative laxity of security on this route means it is the premier entry/exit point for asylum seekers and people traffickers and also gives smugglers a high speed option if taking the boat to France is too slow/dangerous.

Contacts are very very important, they will get you work, information and kit. They are human though and you will be required to treat them as such, if you have a rating 5 contact for example, you will be expected to hit the pubs and shoot some pool with them on a regular basis. Every favour you call in, they will expect you to repay. Contacts will scale with use, and can level to the point where they can assist in runs as an NPC.  You will receive 2 contact points free at chargen, you may do as you wish with these, either boost your bought contacts or get a free 1,1 contact.
Anyone not picked for the main campaign will have their character sheets added to the local Fixer’s net. These people can be called on as hired help for one-off runs as I’m more than aware of how many people want to play a game on here but miss the opportunity.

The setting:
The dark and dirty east end of London. The years have not been kind to the old east end. The early 2000’s saw massive regeneration of the area, with new buildings, trade zones and swanky high rises built, but after the Matrix crashes of the mid 21st century, the trade zones went bust and the affluent residents took the brunt of the unrest and upheavals. The area is now analogous to the slums and barrens found in many large cities across the world.
Official security is fairly scarce and pays a minimum of attention except when trouble spills out of the east end into more “civilised” areas. Occasionally the Serious Organised Crime unit moves in to disrupt smuggling lines and high value honcho’s, but usually the peace is kept internally by a conglomerate of “old firms”; London based crime families with hands in many pies across the capital. These tend to make their money utilising the relatively un-policed east end docks to bring in illicit goods, BTL’s and all manner of chems, as well as the usual protection rackets and running illegal factories and sweatshops.
As for the political scene, that’s run by the new druidic movement, set up in the wake of the nuclear explosions that levelled much of the country during the awakening. They woefully betrayed their core philosophies by maintaining the status quo and many radical groups have splintered off to oppose their political sway.  The NDM holds the vast majority of the seats in Parliament and has tendrils throughout the financial world and the security services run by the Lord Protectors office. A considerable grass-roots movement maintains contact with the working classes however, so be careful who you discuss politics with….
The royalists are still around, and the monarchy is as healthy as it is influential with a new King at the helm and enjoys considerable public support. The crown still owns much of the British countryside and all of its international waters, and has its tendrils embedded throughout the political and financial elite throughout the country, as well as close ties to the royal families throughout Europe.
The Vory, the old Russian mob, have a large stake in the running of the docklands and combined with the eastern European gangers; mainly from the old Slavic nations, make up the bulk of the people traffickers present in the city. The Vory have the taste for all things expensive, and most of the high-end car crime and sporting event fixing is directly traceable to these boys. They hit hard, drink hard and don’t play nice with the “old firms” so watch your back if you have ties to a family.                   
The Yakuza and Triads have minimal street influence outside of London’s Chinatown and Soho districts, though have some financial influence through their connections to the Japana-Corps present in the “square mile” Financial district. If you do seem them down on the docklands, it’s in the markets, shifting high-end electronics that “fell off the boat” on the way in to harbour.
The night markets in the old docklands pulse with life after midnight, no matter the weather (which tends to be terrible). Any kind of goods can be procured, and with the right street cred and cash, I mean any goods.
The countryside tends to be more fraught. A growing Druidic movement post-awakening has seen a large swathe of meta’s move out of urban areas and set up enclaves and homesteads throughout the land. The re-emergence of the leylines has expressed the magical talents of many, though there are several radiation-laden desolation zones inhabited only by hardened paracritters that remain largely unexplored in recent times. Rumours of organised bands of raiders emerging from these zones are increasing, with raids focussing mainly on or around these leylines. A reliable description of these “raiders” has yet to be agreed on, but the druids are worried and are forming loose political organisations and militias to protect themselves.

Legitimate work is hard to come by for those born into this society, and many fall into the shadow employment markets, slaving their lives away for a pittance in the docklands, illegal factories and sweat shops that spring up wherever cheap labour abounds. Many turn to the “old firms” for employment, and still others choose to carve themselves a different path….




Offers have been made for slots for the following players;
raiden, as wheelman/smuggler/face
teafo, as magical investigator
domino, as a hacker
lumen, as a gilette
scawire, as combat mage

all other players who applied for a slot can be called upon as "hired help" for individual missions. these guys will take an even cash reward for participation but wont have access to karma or story advancements.
(its an opportunity to playtest your characters and iron out any bugs as well as hit up a few one-off missions) Contact details for hired help will be available through any fixer contacts in game.

all rolls will be done through invisible castle (http://www.invisiblecastle.com (http://www.invisiblecastle.com)) so please sign up for an account if you havent already done so.
please use the following coding to make it work properly:
10d6.hits(5)
10d6 is obviously swapped out for whatever number of dice you need to roll, hits(5) makes it count the successes on your tests.
in the comments box please state how you got to your individual dice roll total, so for example my 10d6.hits(5) was made of perception 3, intuition 3, active search bonus 3 and visual enhance 1.
OOC thread will be up soon, please post your final character sheets in there and i'll give you the details of how the first chapter will pan out

The premise sounds really interesting. I don't want to spread myself too thin (I'm already in a few games) and I want to give others who aren't in a game a chance to play so I won't apply, but I will be keeping an eye on this.

Title: Re: The London Game, pre-read and rules
Post by: Teafo on <06-13-13/1221:35>

Setting sounds very interesting, and I would very much like to join if you'll have me. My initial concept for a character would be something similar to a face, specializing in breaking and entering, finding information that shouldn't be found and getting out undetected. Capable of fast talking or sneaking about, and generally learning all the dirty little secrets of the world that no one wants known. This may be for a mission, or possibly just to gain leverage on people so he can extort call in favors from them later.

I have designed similar in the past using magic, but seeing as this kinda goes against what you had originally wanted (a caster that is too specialized) I think I'll redesign him with mundane skills.

I do have  a question about starting with firearms though, when you say max starting availability is 12, is that counting before or after the additional +4/+8 for buying one? And as far as pistols go, semi-auto and designed to be hidden I assume would be fair game, but definitely focus a bit more on the melee skills?

I'm still interested in playing I have PMed you my two characters I was thinking Mantis is the one that would fit into the game the best. He is a Mystic Adept, if you find that you are getting too many mages I'll get an alternative runner started on today but will take some time.

You should have Mantis in your messages and in the "looking for a game" forum.

Please Let me know if you are swamped with mages if you are I'll get you a copy of my alternative in a day or two.

Would prefer to play Mantis

I'm also still interested in the playing the character we discussed in the checking interest thread.

"Knives" - Male Human Adept -
A B&E specialist with a pinache for knife play employed by one of the old firms.

I may have to tweek a few things but I'll look him over again later tonight and resubmit him if any changes need to be made.

I have two characters ready, one is a matrix hacker. (one of my more favored back stories for him) and a driver/gunner/repairmen. Hax- the matrix, Hannah Rose- the smuggler/street racer turned runner. ill PM ya both character sheets and the back stories

I have a character I haven't gotten to play before that I'd like to try. Sakura is a Mystic Adept of the Shinto tradition. She actually works as a miko at a shinto shrine in a Shiawase corporate enclave. Her patron kami/mentor spirit is Susanoo (using Shark). The only thing I'd need Restricted Gear for would be a weapon focus for her sword. Everything else falls easily under the normal limits.

after all mods for the firearms. light pistols and such will be no problems to get hold of, just dont get caught with them! stuff like FA assault rifles are nearly impossible to get hold of unless you know exactly the right people, whilst heavy weaps are a total no-no and would bring the whole of the london met police down on you if caught
i dont mind specialized, if you wanna be a detection mage for example, be one by all means. i just dont want a team of cybered 20+ casting, 30+drain resist (OTT but you get the jist) as i got a lot of this when i first mooted the game on the "looking for game" section.

thanks for all the interest guys, this should be fun

Playing in England sounds like fun, the thing is it seems like the mage roll has a flood of people wanting to play since I'm already in a PBP game on http://www.shadowrunonlinepbp.com/forum I think the best thing for me to do is to bow out so someone who is not in a game can take the mage roll for this run. I'll keep looking in the "looking for a game" forum and get in with another one later.

Have fun you guys. 8)

The Orc known as Dom considers himself a gentleman smuggler.  An Orc of the people, so to speak.  He's spent most of his career smuggling, thieving and occasionally breaking the kneecaps or heads of those deserving.  Deserving by the ones who pay for it, naturally.

He originally hails from the UCAS, but betrayal and drama caused him to uproot himself, and he decided to make his way to London.  He's a recent arrival, but he's fitting in nicely, it helps that he's a big fan of trids from the BBC.

Hi, Im interested into something tuned into the Syndicates, can you tell more about the other Syndicates at London? Mafia or Ghost Cartels have any importance? I usually like the Latin Mafia Style, Im not sure how Vory works, if its the only non Asian I think gonna lean toward them before thinking of Rings or Yaks (Those would be nicer for a magic background martial artist style I suppose), but my ideia is to play with a Made Man from one Syndicate, a Hacker/Rigger, if could at least be a latent TM for me works fine, later he could develop his power or even if never launch it flavours ok.
Maybe have any Islamic Syndicate? This would be worth also.

If theres Mafia the character is already created but if they arent active I could dig into other one.

Collin Soaral

Shamanic Investigator

Collin has always had a knack for finding out things he shouldn't, and has always been smart enough to make sure that he got what he wanted to keep people's secrets safe. It's rather surprising the lengths people will go to keep their dirty little secrets, and he has capitalized on that fact for years. When he first discovered his magical abilities, and was  chosen by the Snake Totem, it further solidified his position, and found it rather easy to go along with his Totem's wishes. Snake has also given him even more abilities to go further and discover more, but unfortunately, it has also cost him. He maintains a small day-job as a private investigator for hire, but in the process of discovering his abilities, he lost out on many lucrative opportunities. Since then, he has turned to the shadows, realizing that he could go further and find out more, and if he manages to keep his hoop out of trouble, he could make a much better living playing the corps against one another... so long as they never find out.

Notes; Unsure at this time if you are ok with the Eichiro Hatamoto II Firearm as it is a heavy pistol and fires shotgun rounds. Up to you whether or not to keep it, as far as character goes, it is his "heavy handed backup" if you will, limited in ammunition and slow firing (single shot internal magazine) so it's more of an "oh-drek" type weapon or for special purposes such as tracker rounds. Let me know and I will adjust accordingly.

Sorry Scawire, I am not currently in any games and hoping to play the mage type. Although if GM will have it, there is definitely room for a combat oriented caster type, as I specialize towards the "softer side"

No worries Teafo I'm always fine when a runner that is not in a game gets the job since I'm already in a run right now.

You best have fun and try not to deal with the dragon, but if it is a genesis game you might have to bight the bullet and do it anyway.

If there is still place I would love to play in this.

I have several characters ready, some may need slight tweaks.

Social infiltrator/Face
Sniper
Thrill seeking B&E hacker.

Currently running one game but not playing in any at the moment.
I'll post charter sheets up when I have access to them.

After my first onlinerun here ended so quickly I would like to try it again. What I like a lot is the setting in Europe.

The character I would throw in is a hacker called "Heels". His name refers to his well running matrix shop for designer high heels that he runs from his one room apartment. He also likes to try out his latest acquisitions him self.
I haven't build the character yet, but if you find him interesting I will set up his stats.

On second thought, this premise sounds too good to pass (that and the GM in one of my other games has been MIA for a few weeks)

My concept is a street rat that was born and raised in the London old east end. He got caught trying to steal from one of the old firms and has been forced to work for them in order to pay his "debt". He's a pickpocket that's done some B&E work before, knows how to tail someone and can hold his own in a brawl. His years on the streets have made him quite perceptive, but his knowledge is limited to London and the surrounding areas.



Name: Mickey Featherstone
Alias: Rat
Race: Ork
Sex: Male
Nationality:
Lifestyle: Squatter 300¥(Comforts 1, Entertainment 1, Necessities 2, Neighbourhood 1, Security 2, Lax Security, Worse Neighbours (Bunraku Parlour), No Privacy 1(Astral)) 1 month paid
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: 5’11”, 230 lbs, short, brown hair and black eyes. Has many scars on his back and on his chest and his left tusk is broken.
Personality/background Mickey grew up an orphan in London’s old east end. Abandoned by his parents probably because they were too young to take care of a baby, he was taken in by a local orphanage. As is too common with these things, Mickey had a hard time fitting in and had no respect for authority. He soon found his way out of the orphanage and into the cold, harsh streets. He survived by making a few friends and stealing for a living.

When he was 14, he tried to steal a shipment of novacoke from one of the old firms with a few friends. The trio would have made it if it wasn’t for their wheelman getting caught while escaping. At the time Mickey couldn’t drive, which proved his downfall. Caught on foot a few blocks away from their getaway vehicle, Mickey was brought in for a severe beating; the beating of his life, actually. His life was spared, however, as someone decided a living rat was more useful than a dead one. He was given another chance at life, but in exchange he would have to win it back through work for the syndicate. He has been working off and on for them, doing whatever they tell him to do, which comes on a weekly basis.

Being caught because he wasn’t able to drive really left a mark on young Mickey and he turned to cybermods to address his shortcomings. In the little time he had for himself, Mickey worked on the side, saving his money to go under the scalpel. Discovering his body had an affinity for cybermodding, he decided to break the bank and fit himself with as much as he could afford. Mickey found a streetdoc that had one piece of exceptionally good chrome considering the neighbourhood, and a loose friendship soon developed between them.

Over the last decade or so, Rat (as he came to be known) did all sorts of jobs, from B&E to tailing people to pickpocketing, either for himself or for the crime syndicate that still owns his life. Shadowrunning is where he wants to eventually end up, but he still has a little ways to go before he can commit himself fulltime to that lifestyle.

here is a brief backstory for her.

Hannah Rose- smuggler and mechanic and rifleman. Grew up around cars and loved racing. Boosted her first car and started racing at the age of 17.  After winning several races she collected a bunch of varied vehicles and came into a lot of cash. Recently the thrill she used to get from racing started to decrease and so she sought even more thrills in the area of drug running, smuggling, drag racing, and combat bike racing. Eventually she got in over her head with the wrong people. After some bad luck, a few bad races, and a scam she was deep in debt to the mob. She was 21 at this point in her life. She worked jobs for the mob trying to work off her debt, whether she acted as a getaway driver, delivery, pick up or even driving the prominent mob bosses or in free time she raced for cars, parts and nuyen. Her time under the mobs thumb was not all bad. She was able to meet a couple of people she felt she could trust who got her the parts or gear she needed. Now after 1 year she was almost out of debt but a scam from the mobsters set her up and she wound up back in dept once again. Knowing she couldn’t do anything about it she finally saved enough money and favors to make an escape. She bought a bike one night when her favors cashed in. she was able to get to her car, she had put her life into it. A supped up sports car, one she never lost a race in. The one she was known around the country for since she had made quite a name for herself in the racing world. She emptied her saving on some tickets on the next ship to England. The only thing the mob had was a note saying she would get the money she owed back, and she would then take her leave. In England she assumed a new name under the face SIN her friend had got her. She has a job as a taxi driver now in London living in a middle class house on the outer rims of London. She still takes part in some races but never in her car.  She boosts all her wheels herself and outfits them with top of the line gear which she gets from a friend in the auto part industry. She can drive just about anything be It a car, a boat, or a plane. Recently in the ideals of self-preservation she has learned to fire, reload and repair firearms. She is caring to her few friends but will usually look out for herself first, though on rare occasions she has risked her own life for someone else. Though she would punch anyone who would say so.

has hardned trackers in her prized car, as well as biometric reader locks. and is paying a local gang to watch her car garage. (up to GM discretion on the amount here)
her signature: she places a rose at the site of every run. (of course she never leaves prints on the rose)
Contacts: Alfred a black markets guy she met and befriended in UCAS the only friend she carried over to her "new" life either because she did not trust the others or they went Dark on her.
Jessie: a relatively new friend she met online during a blog about the new vehicles of the year, hopes to make a lasting friendship and use it to help branch out to other people. (this contact lives in England) loves her car like her life, cleans it usually once a day (if she can), even if its just a quick rinse. had to work with and against Russian and Japanese mobs in the UCAS depending on the will of the Mob she owed.

Only thing to make them a better driver would be look into control rig, rigger control and see how much that help and you could pick what you like more the car or bike and get a specialization in that vehicle type.

Those would be all that comes to mind

Cool thanks and my first karma points will be going towards specializations. For ground IMA go wheeled spec.

Filled in Background for Collin Soaral:

http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=11245.msg207967#msg207967 (http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=11245.msg207967#msg207967)

Collin was born to a family from the UCAS while living abroad in Germany. His family was not wealthy, but got by just fine. His mother was a law assistant and his father was an undercover police officer. His father's position often left him without a male role model for long stretches of time, and his mother frequently asked him to retire, or at least get out of undercover work. He made the plans to do so, and as things go, his last undercover assignment turned out to be his last living assignment as well. Someone tipped off the Humanis group that he was infiltrating, and it was nearly a  week before police found his body in the gutters on the outskirts of the street. His mother was quick to remarry, and Collin's new father-in law constantly pressed him to get out of the house, to get a job, do something productive with his life. So he did, he dug into the past of his new step-father and uncovered the fact that he had connections to all kinds of bad people in the European underground. He used this information to extort the man into getting him out of the area, and so he moved to London. Almost immediately after arriving to the city, his magical abilities manifested in the shape of the Snake Totem. The time he spent discovering his abilities meant time that he wasn't able to work, and ended up jumping from shelter to shelter where most people simply took him as another drugged out hobo. But when he was able to return to a semi-normal level of life, he turned to digging up the information people don't usually want known. A few small blackmails here and there, and he was able to open a business legitimately. Collin became a private investigator for hire and quickly gained a reputation for finding information quickly for his clients. This caught the eye of a few of the London police, and he was occasionally called in for contracted work, but he always knew in the back of his mind that these small scale investigations would only ever get him meekly by. The real money was in the shadows, working for the Vory and the Yakuza and the Triads, and possibly even the corps and their seemingly-endless budgets. If he ever wanted to live the high life, he was going to have to dive into the shadows to get there.

After my first onlinerun here ended so quickly I would like to try it again. What I like a lot is the setting in Europe.

The character I would throw in is a hacker called "Heels". His name refers to his well running matrix shop for designer high heels that he runs from his one room apartment. He also likes to try out his latest acquisitions him self.
I haven't build the character yet, but if you find him interesting I will set up his stats.

hey mate, i need a hacker so if you can get one to me by end of tomorrow you've got the slot :-)
