Just lost my internet for a week, so could Marlowe please take over running Gray for the moment, will post as soon as I get it up and running, thanks

I will do my best!

[Marlowe]

It is Karma Day, and rather than send you all messages, I'm going to hand out a blanket 1 karma for the week!  Sorry for lack of pithiness.

Also, I may issue another decree to slow down karma since you all have significant karma accrued and we're still in the hangar!

[RHat]

Did we get karma for last week?  I don't think I ever got the message.

[Marlowe]

You should have!  Since it didn't arrive, I'll resend.

good news everyone, I'm back early thanks to BT actually having people in the area instead of everything being routed through a call center in bangalore.

[Marlowe]

Nice!  Although Bangalore's unemployment rate is probably around 3% so it's not like they needed those call center jobs anyway.

Hey there folks, since we have multiple mages in the game, I just wanted to make a note since it's been asked of me that for the purposes of this game you can not, repeat not, use your air spirit alone as a magical jetpack across long distances.  I know, I'm a terrible downer.

If you want magical powered flight I may allow an air spirit and a wing suit combination in keeping with the theme of over-the-top adventures, but even I have a limit.

[RHat]

I should think, minimally, you'd have to have an appropriate form of movement for it to accelerate.

Good evening 'runners, I know what you're thinking.  It's Karma Day, where's my karma?

Well, as I mentioned last week I've been thinking about the karma I've been handing out and I think that so far it's been a little high, even with the length of time the PBP has been going.  Now, that's not to say there haven't been good posts in the last week, but at this point you've received a briefing, sent two spirits to do recon and driven to the harbor. 

Given the existing karma handouts, at this rate by the time you reach the bunker I'll have to have Lofwyr waiting down there for you!

So for this week, I am not handing out karma: but I will hand out karma next week so keep posting.  When more action happens in the posts, and I know we're in the initial stages, we may return to weekly karma handouts.

Also, to prove I'm not a totally cold-hearted GM, this week I give you the greatest Amazon review ever.

That...  Is a pretty awesome review.

I didn't know it was possible to hate a type of gummy bear that much, lol.

The Karma plan sounds fair to me.

To be fair, unlabeled candy flavoured super-laxatives are a pretty horrible thing.

And yeah, given where I'm sitting at Karma-wise that seems pretty fair.

You heard the man, we need to start shooting stuff! 

For purposes of describing ward creation: The process takes [force of ward] hours, but it's not listed as an extended roll. Am I right to conclude that the roll and the drain happen at the beginning of the process, which then has to be monitored for the rest of the time? Kind of like making a souffle? Would I also be correct assuming that I can't use the "rushing the job" option?

[MaxKojote]

Agreed. I'm doing alright karma-wise at the moment, considering our current progression.
