I have questions too: Do pbp participants gain money and karma? Can I continue to use the character in another pbp after the first?

Of course they get Karma and Cash , thats the character advancement , you can use the character in other games, but I wouldnt think you could ue THIS version if improved by character advancement , other GM's will want you starting at there level


-how do you want to run drone sensor arrays? it says they come with "upto" 8 functions from the table but it seems a bit funky for microdrones and the like, so i've built it as array rating limits the number of individual sensors you can install.
-how do you run gunnery in VR? LOG + gunnery or AGI + gunnery?
-how do you run smartlink for gunnery? and for drone pilots operate the guns themselves with targetting software?

cheers!

define funky?
VR or AR ? I would say LOG
If the GUn is smartlinked , and the operator has SL and Gunnery skill , drones would use there targeting software rating

define funky? a microdrone, about the size of a tiny insect comes with 8 rating 3 sensors in its housing. these could be cameras with 3 modifications like night-vision or thermographic. a laser microphone, a motion sensor etc. a truck comes with  the same 8 rating three sensors in it's array. It seems vaguely worded too, i went more with the idea that the sensor rating capped how many sensors you could fit into the array, ie a rating 5 sensor array on a truck would fit more stuff in than a rating 3 microdrone array. i just wanted to clarify with you how it works pre-game to prevent misunderstandings.
VR or AR ? I would say LOG makes most sense to me that way too, some interchangeable wording in the book which makes it unclear, but log sounds best so will play it that way.
If the GUn is smartlinked , and the operator has SL and Gunnery skill , drones would use there targeting software rating ok, how about VR rigging? does the eye implant SL work there, even if you're not using your eyes?.
so autonomous drone uses; pilot + targetting + smartlink. cool. thanks for the clarification.

@czarblood: I sent you a PM asking for a mail address, because i couldn't attach the charsheet to the PM itself. I see now you started IC thread. Can i send you the charsheet somehow and still consider myself in?

As far as I know Ren we where all approved, if it takes too long to get a PM back I suggest the hard way, write the who character up in word (or similar program) Copy it and then past it into a PM, that is what I did. I did get talked to about using the color orange for section titles.... OPPS... I was using a out line for a black background website.

Any ways hope you get it figured out  8)

Not sure on the Smoking laws in your London. I know it might be a problem or might not but if it a problem a quick heads up on the laws you want to run around smoking will help Smoky complain alot or light up alot.

So again if you are willing a quick this is London's laws on smoking would be of great help.  ???

Thanks (YA I finaly get to run the shadows in the new 5th edition.)  ;D

Man I post a lot, but I don't want you to miss what I have to say thinking you already read the post I edited.

One thing I was wondering...  ??? .... Where do we post are characters too. Some GM keep every runners sheets hidden from each other, me I'm not a fan of that since it is fun too see everyone's character they built. The only thing is I know I can play my character IC as if he knows nothing or next to nothing about everyone else, if everyone else can do the same I like to have all our character sheets in one place that way it makes it easier to remember street names what race the other characters are looks of their runner and etc.

Also if Ren can maybe get himself a quick out-line of a Character sheet to speed up his submission via a Word Doc.

For color it's up above the reply box to the right.

For invisible castle it gives you links that you can paste in your post. BBCode is the best for the GM usually. Example:

6d6.hits(5)=2

I'm thinking we are waiting for Ren to post IC but Ren is waiting for GM to answer his question in OOC. I think If no post here by tomorrow Ren Try PMing the GM let hims know you are waiting on him.
