Title: Keeping Up with The Sixth World
Post by: Danny Montanny on <11-30-15/1244:06>
Fame: Global Fame + Electronic Witness + Day Job: 15 = 50,000¥ a month just for existing.

Too much cheese? Why are they running and how do they go about it? Maybe they're a Social Adept with all of the morphing powers and they do it for a thrill?

How would you guys make this work? All concept ideas welcome!

Shadowrunning slice of life trid star.

3/4ths of her runs are faked and the 'runners are just actors. The other quarter are real and the real runner faces get changed in post-production. The writers lurk in shadowrunner circles to find juicy 'runs going down and spin them as ones they did.

Simon Andrews is a recurring fixer and Johnson on the show, of course.

It also seems to me that possibly the best way to record would be the Flashback System Nanocynernetics. You wouldn't need to be wireless until you're ready to dump your recordings from storage, right?

That's how I read it.

Cool idea. Not sure how many GMs would allow it, let alone other runners put up with it IC.

I'd allow it it w/one caveat: I'd limit it to Day Job [1]... the  bigger penalty for day job [3] and Global fame is you are unavailable for 50 hours a week, which means at best your available two days a week to run. There is no way I'd allow any quality, especially a negative quality that you gain points for, negate that. I can stomach 12.5 hours all of a sudden being wiped...but just barely.

That's why you have Electronic Witness.

That's why you have Electronic Witness.

What's your point?

I was saying I wouldn't allow Electronic Witness, Day Job[4] and Global Fame together as it's broken.

So basically the 2075 version of Kim Kardashian imagine streaming would be a lot like that with the Me Feed and the subsidiary me stream and the new new one with simsense Me sense

It definitely could be. Or you could just sell selective pieces and not do a continual stream. The concept I wrote up was a true Pornomancer. Someone who sells their sexual exploits as Dreamchips. They're a Social Adept with all of the physical changing powers, as well as having a Flashback System. Their identity is always changing, so it's hard to pin down who they really are. Their runner identity is their actual physical form and their pornstar identity is one changed with their powers. Heck, they could even just they're a famous producer that uses all these different actors, so they could be literally dozens of different pornstars.
