Starting a wed night 5'th edition campaign, probably around 7 or 8pm est time, weekly..hopefully running about 3-4 hours per session.
My plan is to have all ic actions, (mostly the ic conversations) over roll20 typing, because I feel people are more expressive and comfortable when typing then when talking. Actions such as combat, deciding what to do, ooc plotting, legwork, etc etc can be done over skype voice chat..to save time.
A few house rules will be:
-No mystic Adepts will be allowed.
-There will be a limit to 1 mage in the party, and 1 adept. (I'm planning to only have a team of 4 on this campaign)
I've also eliminated the Control Actions, Mob control, Control Thoughts, Mob mind, influence, etc spells, because I feel them too powergamey. :P
Furthermore on the powergameing thing, there's gonna be a limit of only 1 (non special) attribute allowed to be at the races minimum.
Chargen will follow standard A-B-C-D-E creation.
Run and gun stuff will be allowed.
There's a couple other rules but they'll be explained in game. They don't effect chargen or anything like that.
This isn't a rule, but The setting (which i'm keeping secret) will make playing hackers or technomancers hard. Feel free to play one though!
Alright now that all that technical boring stuff is over with, here's the campaign:
Zinech Corp. The name was catching on like wildfire. It seemed like every other billboard across several countries had an advertisment for Zinech Corp to improve their lives. The problem was, no one knew what they did or who they were. The offical description of the corporation was "Useing applied sciences to further benifiet mankind". Sounds a little like Horizon, right? It's no coincidence that many people thought it may be a subsidiary of them. Problem was, there was no proof.
Whoever Zinech was, didn't really matter. They offered you big. 100,000 nuyen big, upon completion. It was a simple data theft from a nearby labratory building. Problem was, the run wasn't simple. It went wrong. Horribly horribly wrong. Drones...well geared security.. You and your team barely got out with your lives. It was a mess. The johnson from Zinech didn't seem pleased, but offered to help. Next thing you know, he's relocateing you..without telling you the who, where or why. One thing's for sure though. Things were too hot in the states for you.
Morality: Morality will be very questionable in this game. Where you are going you will be asked to do some bad things, as well as some good things, and mostly to turn a blind eye to some very bad things, all in the name of survival. This includes possibly haveing to kill children as young as 8 years old. It is not something that i want to be done a lot, but for a richer rp experience the realisim of the world must be maintained. Slavery is also a major issue plaguing this area. There are several kinds of slavery going on.
Racisim: Racisim will also be a big issue. As will sexisim. Where you are going, your race..not your metatype..will draw some scorn from the locals. They don't like outsiders. Women are also viewed as insuperiour. Many of the people who hire you will have a more elevated stance on things like sexisim and racisim..recognizing a shadowruns potential is in their actions. However, there are other factors in play...regular people...who have their views pretty set.
Violence: Violence will play a part in the campaign, of course, but the level of description of the role playing of violence can easily be changed without effecting the story..and is totally up to the players to decide the comfort level of.
Sexuality: The place you are going is not a good place. Rape is a major threat to people in this setting, and is not uncommon. Sex(like in most shadowrun campaigns) and nudity also prevail. That being said that rape and sex will -never- be role played out, though mentions of such may come into play.
Language(Swearing and such): [ Fully Up to group.
Sign up below if interested. It's kind of first come, first serve, but I prefer newbs(because i'm sure lots of mistakes will be made, which might frustrate more vetran players) and a good backstory and interesting char will jump ahead of someone who doesn't have one.

Goodluck Chummer.

I am interested. Not exactly newb but i can deal, seem like an interesting concept that i would love to try.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArQfAX3jRVFndEJmZUhZRTNfTjgyRXJFZWhnNVZBQmc&usp=drive_web#gid=7. here my biosam. Backstory will be provided when completely made.
-
I'd be interested in joining up. I'm pretty newbish overall, only have a handful of sessions and have never completed a campaign. I'm also not a rules lawyer, so any mistakes/on-the-fly decision making is fine with me. I'll stat up a mage/shaman, if there's still room for one, and message it to you later today. If there's already a magic user, let me know and I'll stat up another character. I'm pretty intrigued by the plot line, interested to see where it goes.
-
Yo! I'd be interested in joining. I'm an extremely new player to 5th, but I think I could keep up. As for character? I'd have to design a new one, as I don't want to be playing my decker in a hard situation as I'm new, thinking of making a rigger.
-
Ugh this is the part I hate. When there are too many players and I have to turn away some. I know it's hard to find a game. :(
I tried to fit 5 in, but i don't think it'll work. I think my story is too underpowered. I received a couple of interesting backstories in my im which made me interested and wanting to know more about the characters, so those are the two i'm going with. My apologies to moonlightshadow13 and Nimbasa. I'll keep you guys in reserve in case a spot frees up in the future.
(On a quick sidenote, moonshadow13 you made like a perfect char for my next campaign, when/if i ever try to run it(it'd be after this one is done. This one has a set story so there WILL be an ending). So if your still playing in a few months, keep an eye out for it cause he'd fit really good.)

Now as for char sheets and such.
1) moonshadow13: I have your char sheet but some of your numbers seem a bit high. If you could trim some of the combat ones down a few dice, that'd be good. I also need your backstory and such
2) Tiamut24 Characters done
3) Sehkmet: Need actual character sheet. Bio seems done, unless your gonna add to it or whatever
4) dragonfire Characters done, unless your gonna change some stuff for face stuff
-
Roger that! I'll have my full character sheet and biosheet done in the next few hours and I'll post the links here. (Slight changes, nose was lost instead of eyes, so I'm rocking a cyber snout!)
-
Interesting to see some familiar faces from not to long ago when I was looking for a few folks. Anyway saying Hello, going to be playing a combat decker, sheet here if you're interested; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b5QL0IvJCs3ulMUCe4XHYnq0OhxYcJ9ssq7NcY5PHto/edit?usp=sharing
Also wanted to comment on Moonshadow's Biosamurai, just a small error, for his/her cybereyes you are using the wrong capacity sizes for visual enhancements, they cost more and take up more slots for cyberware then glasses/contacts/etc. I am concerned that I also have 15 dice in combat and think I should tone mine down so you shine more in combat, although my largest gun is just an SMG.

[Character to be changed over]

Just got some news that for financial reasons I have to cutt off my internet unless something changes soon, anywhere from a few days to a couple of months. Sad to say I have to drop out of this game, really wanted to see what you had planned, I know you worked on this campaign for about a month. Maybe when I return you can give me all the details. Good luck to errbody!
-
Sorry to see you have to leave, Tiamut!
I'm thinking of doing some changes given how I see the set up of the rest of the party. I'll update the sheet later on.
Changes I'm planning if the GM is cool with them:
- Change background to be full Salish. (We have a group of human Caucasian males. We need some diversity!)
- Change Automatics to Archery, use lots of injection arrows. For something different
- Drop the Force 1 Qi Foci for Direction Sense (which I made an error on and wrote Thermographic Vision). Use the 2 Karma instead for etiquette 1, since I forgot that basic skill.

Nice, I'll get on my rigger then.
-
Sounds good. I'll make the changes and corrections.
EDIT: New character sheet and slightly altered backstory, appearance and personality.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DB33DBC3172418F7%21138
All corrected, no more silly errors that I can see.

Waiting on that rigger. You guys wanna pm me your Skype names?

Hey guys, dunno if you still check this but I hope so. Not gonna be able to kick this off this wed, so we're looking at a starting date of the 18 for those still interested. Just send a quick msg here (or to my skype when i finally get back on) if you're still in.
To everyone else: We still need 1 more player if anyones interested.
-
Sounds good. I'm still in.
-
Still here
-
I'm still in.
Note for any potential new players: If you want to play an Adept, I can change my character from an Adept to a Rigger. I am more than open to that. [Same character, just altered background/stats to reflect different role and skills].
-
I'm pretty new, but I am interested in playing. I was in a table group recently, but the shop had to stop running SR. Rigger was very confusing for me (I tried making one). If someone could help me, I'd play one. I'm not really into hacking, though. Otherwise, I'd want to play an assassin type. My table toon was an adept, so I feel comfortable with that if assassin isn't ok.
I have a toon or two I cooked up a few months ago, if there's a spot open and I can join? I've never been on Roll20 but I've looked at it and it sounds cool! I prefer typing but I am willing to buy a headset if voice chat is necessary.
-
Sure, you're free to join but we're starting tomorrow.
-
I missed your post yesterday, but I PM'd you earlier. Well, I think I did. Nothing appeared in my sent folder, but it said successfully sent.
-
I got it and added you on skype. Hopefully you got it.
-
Yeah, I got your message today! Sorry it took me a minute to realize who you were. Ill be home all day if you get a chance to talk :-).

unfortunately something came up at the last minute and i will have to miss tonight. collage related things
