Title: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-08-11/0013:15>

First off, I would like to welcome players and viewers to SR4:Killer Tofu. As the newbie GM of this campaign I ask for you guys to overlook any short comings I may have while GMing. Well let's get down to business.
This OOC will serve several purposes:

• Fielding Questions- Whether from players, or viewers I am more than happy to answer questions about the story hooks, or anything that isn't explained or covered in the campaign.
• Disputes of Rulings- If I rule something wrong as GM, or a player goes through an action or the sort out of accordance to the rules; feel free to pm me, or bring it up here with page reference; really it's the only way I or anyone else is going to learn.
• General Chit Chat about the game
• Character Info- Such as back story, new karma purchases, general statistics that may not be seen or explained in character that players want known.
  

All the above is subject to change, hopefully we can have a fun and great campaign.
Side note most GM post will be in light blue and NPC's in shades of blue.

I will finish outlining my Character using only the Core Rulebook.

This will be my first PBP game so If I make a mistake here or there tell me so I can learn. Also I have never played Shadowrun before so let me know if I get something wrong anyways throughout this.

Grea,t I'm looking forward to learning the system with you. As said above let me know if you have any questions

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Druid4Life on <11-08-11/2253:33>

I have sent you my Character Sheet. Do you want me to post it on here.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-09-11/0010:20>

Not unless you want to. I have received it and approved.

I am interested in playing a mundane face if you will have me.  I do not have access to my books or sheet generator at the moment, but I will be able to submit a sheet within the day.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-09-11/1513:45>

Oh we have room for your Face pyro just send me the char to be approved n we can start game within 12hour or so.

What is the rough setting? Where does the run start? Should the character be unscrupulous or more willingly to help others?

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-09-11/1942:41>

Concord to Seattle brazil maybe. As for disposition it doesn't matter

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Pyromaster13 on <11-09-11/2227:54>

Sent my sheet.  But I'm interested what the main theme of the opposition will be.  Will it be magic, entertainment, business, technology or all?  Since I would like to tailor contacts to the campaign.  It wouldn't be much help to pick up Simsense stars and Producers for a magic themed game.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-09-11/2349:34>

I'd be putting you at a disadvantage saying the campaign was themed I'd say your best bet would be to take the contact your character would have, and use them when you can. But if I had to label it I'd say it runs the gambit and has a bit of all of the themes some more slight than others.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-10-11/1507:47>

The current it is approved are Kensai, mr anderson, and eric. I am still waiting on some character sheets from other players

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Larzarus on <11-10-11/1821:36>

So that we don't have to much redundance, Eric is a Mage (astral combat and forensics)

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Pyromaster13 on <11-10-11/2010:56>

Mr. Anderson is a mundane face.  He is combat capable, but not as crazy good as a dedicated street sam.

This is the first character I've made for SR.  If he's hopeless let me know. 

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Larzarus on <11-13-11/1332:48>

You probably need some software on the commlink to: Analyze and Browse at least.

I usually put also Visual Enhancement 3 + Visual Magnification either into the Cybereye or into separate Glasses.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Soulbishop on <11-14-11/1008:21>

Sound advice. Well with that we will be starting game in 12 hours exactly give or take 10 minutes.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: jonvolodin on <11-14-11/1642:01>

Thanks Larz, I did have +2 vis. enhancement but forgot to type it in.   However, the only software I can find is the activesoft, lingasoft, knowldgesoft, and so on.  I have datasoft and mapsoft.  I can't seem to locate the browse software that you were talking about. 

Soulbishop, thanks.  Do you accept my guy?  He might be too much of a generalist.  I figured he would be easier to play.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: jonvolodin on <11-14-11/1646:21>

I guess add browse and the other software and I will pay the cost when I can find it.  Thanks.

The page number might differ a little bit.

Core Rules, The Wireless World, Programs, page 226.
Browse and Analyze are both common use programs. (See price list at page 227)
If you want to be the team hacker, you need a at least Stealth, Exploit and Scan

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: jonvolodin on <11-14-11/2209:18>

Larz, Thanks again.  I'm so new at this thing that my guy is more of a tag along generalist type.  He's got some contacts, some firearm skills, decent people skills, and so on, but I don't think we would want him for the team hacker.  I don't think you want me as the team hacker.  I can't even locate the correct part of the book for the the programs!

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: jonvolodin on <11-14-11/2225:48>

I got Analyze, Browse, Command all at lvl 2. Money down to 500. Thanks.

We are in NY? (http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=N40+45.47861+W73+59.13419&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x89c25855a9f82fb7:0xe20117a9bb040a1b,%2B40%C2%B0+45'+28.74%22,+-73%C2%B0+59'+8.03%22&gl=ca&ei=fv7BTqStOuX50gHuiIGZDw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBcQ8gEwAA)

If so, is there any problem for our characters to get to this location, for example by taking a cap or subway.

No there is nothing of interesting or difficult about the spot.

Flip's a dedicated Hacker, so we have that covered.  He also has two huge armed drones, but those are for special occasions.  ;)

Kensai is a B&E Expert/Sniper so Fire Support cover and getting past Security locks (Mainly Maglocks) is her speciallity.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC

Face, Mage, B&E, Ex-Cop, Hacker

sounds like a nice group for infiltration runs.

hello
   are you still recruiting for the game?  I'd love to play if there is an opening.  I have a support character I wanted to use.  Im using the rules from street magic and arsenal.  She has a saber tooth cat as a free sprit that inhabit a skull she made into a vessel.   ;D

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC

This is my first time playing a pbp and all...but is it common for nothing to happen for over 48 hours in the beginning?

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC
Post by: Pyromaster13 on <11-17-11/2037:46>

I assume we're just waiting for the GM to push things along.  He never really specified how often he would progress the story.  Considering the 48 hour delay I assume he will puch things along weekly.

Title: Re: Killer Tofu OOC

OK, thanks.  I thought that the pacing was just going to be when everyone posted.

Sorry Bishop but it really sucks checking the boards often and you haven't posted in two weeks.  It was touch and go before that.

 My character was shit anyway.
