Worked a little late, just heading off to a piano lesson then I will tackle the replies, I'm really hoping I'll get a decent one off tonight. Though may be tomorrow, has been a crazy day.

This is kinda crazy. When i get off work today, im also going to my piano lesson.

most GMs don't want PCs leaving the starting area without meeting one another, but it kinda feels like you want me to head out solo, so unless something happens to prevent that, that's exactly what im gonna do.

[Celtibero]

im betting on the connecting thread somewhere down the line

[Poindexter]

hey, what should i do in the case of typos in the dice roller program?

1-scrap the whole roll and roll again?

2-use the roll if viable, but fix the typo?

for example, that skill roll i just made, the int+know gang thingee...
What i meant to put in the die roller program was 4d6t5, but what i actually put was 4d6t4. same amount of dice, but the wrong target number.
with the typo'd version i got 1 hit, but had there been no typo, the roll would have resulted in 0 hits.
I went ahead and rerolled with the correct thing typed in, and wound up with 3 hits, which kinda felt a little like cheating almost, so i felt i should bring it up.

after all, had this been just us sitting around rolling dice, those dice woulda come up how they did and i woulda got 0 hits, y'know?

i dont mind going back and putting the old result in, i just dont know how to find it.

I think you can see your roll history on orokos, guessing that you can find the bbcode there also.

@Kalarin @Laereth
Slim is wearing his Lined coat, but you should be able to see a short baton on his left hip.  He also has his Colt in a hidden arm slide on his right arm, don't know if your roll was good enough to notice that one.

EDIT
@Kalarin
Was it by design (yours, that is) that Slim has heard nothing from Joe about a change of agenda? Slim is still concerned about the job of finding those missing kids and could hardly care less about this bridge business as it is.

Trance has her L36 in a concealable holster on her; she's making no effort to hide it right now. It's just not currently in a place where she could easily draw it without drawing attention...

ok on the matrix perception:

Matrix perception - Data[4]: 8d6t5 4

- does the file(s) have a data bomb?
- Is it protecetd?

on the initiative, i rolled in case you need a timeframe for the actions 8to correlate with ice etc etc)

Initiative: 8+4d6 16

i also rolled a matrix search inside the host, i believe that applies if the files have been archived (since they are fresh i believe its not the case, in that event i would need to possibly hack the agent that handled them), but better safe than sorry

Awesome! How long have you been playing?I picked it up a couple of years ago, I don't practice nearly as much as I'd like

Also, you can go where ever you like, I don't really want to limit you guys on what you can or can't do. Just remember there are consequences for your actions.

Generally you can leave rolls, I can either take dice away or you can do another roll with the remaining if needed. I'm not TOO worried, pretty sure you guys won't take advantage. Can leave it how you'e done it for now.

@reyjinn Semi by design. You can take it as either assuming that Joe knows the events are related, or that he's possibly been too busy to update you, expecting Andy to. Really any way you wish really.

I'm going to try and get a post up tonight, though it's Friday and I have after work drinks. The way I've been running the game and writing is that I have a general idea on where I want to go with the story, but I tailor each response based on your posts and try to push the story forward a little. I like the way that it's working, it's just a bit of a commitment time wise.

I'd also like to see how this pans out with Angel, Slim and Trance

[Tenlaar]

It's not really important at this point since I don't have any sneaking skill yet, but I'd like to know what your thoughts on astral stealth are Kalarin.  I don't recall seeing it really laid out anywhere, but using sneaking + astral agility [astral] for tests to move behind objects big enough to block my aura (shouldn't be that hard to find!), hide in plants, stay behind the troll, etc. seems to be the logical way to do it to me.

ive only been playing for a couple months now, but im learning quick.
yeah, i know you're not gonna cut me off with invisible walls and whatnot, but i also don't wanna be that guy who just goes off and has a sandwich while the rest of the group does what the gm intended. Feel free to guide me a lil bit.

[kalarin]

@Poindexter There will be times I try and guide you, it's usually pretty obvious when I point your attention somewhere, but I don't expect you to listen if you would like do something else. A few times I've left things open just to see what you guys will do, can lead to interesting scenarios I might not have thought of. I don't like players being difficult for the sake of being difficult and as I said in the recruitment thread I don't want another player having fun at the expense of another. Other than that you're good to go.

Oh nice! What sort of stuff are you playing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJACmVzj8cs this is one of the pieces I'm currently working on. At  the moment I am only practicing a couple times a week, makes progress really slow This is my end goal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhnRIuGZ_dc I'd love to be able to play this piece before I die

Unfortunately though guys I'm really exhausted, I probably won't manage to finish a post up tonight. However I wouldn't mind knowing a little more about your characters Can just post in the OOC thread. Things like favourite food, hobbies, video games, dislikes, best friend, oldest friend, first girl/boyfriend, parents memorable moments growing up. Anything that will help me flesh out the characters and get to know them a little better. I love this shit, helps me write your posts too. Don't feel obliged, just if you feel like writing something up!

@Tenlaar Correct you can't see through objects in the astral plane so this makes sense. I believe all physical objects in the astral plane opaque, glass, etc included. You do give off an aura though, so you'd need something decent enough for good cover. Pretty sure a plant wouldn't cut it unless it was pretty big.

[Tenlaar]

Yeah, from what I understand the aura extends maybe 2 to 4 inches away from the body.  Just enough to make it so that you can't try to cover it up by wearing heavy armor or some such cheese.

Pretty sure a plant wouldn't cut it unless it was pretty big.

I should have phrased that better, I meant like hiding in a bush or up in a tree where the plant's aura would help to mask mine.  Though I do like the image of Cheshire floating through a corp building pushing a ficus around while invisible!

[kalarin]

@Tenlaar  I'm pretty sure we're on the same page. I do like these questions, I need to go and find the answers and I learn more.

[Celtibero]

hey m8 ill post some more info on kitty when i get back.

just wanted to ask you a question regarding matrix search inside the hosts... quite honestly i have turning the book round and around and matrix search appears to be (imo) the correct action to spot a file inside the host (provided it was not archived). so, i reckon the information would be what? "not publicized"? in that case i would probably use edge on that (next action if nothing serious happen).

does the host have filling agents, that sort of automated programs? if so i can always try to hack one of them to request the file (spoof if indeed its an agent type, i would still need a perception roll to know its an agent)

Let me know if i need to change anything on the post
