not a big deal, but i wasn't planning on jumping in just yet. Just wanted to be plugged in, in case i needed to quickly.

I can update the post to reflect that, sorry!

Hey, is this venue im supposed to be headed for ON fox island?
I probably should have asked this a LONG time ago.
Also whats the name of the place?
I don't wanna keep calling it "the venue".

You didn't ask, but you did get a date, so you could look up the concert, not far from the bridge, though on the other side of the island. You know the Mongrel's home base this side of the island.

Also I may not have been clear but Devil's Cut were the gang that used to run this territory, though they were taken out by the Mongrels and forced to relocate off the turf.
you were clear.
devils cut used to make their money through smuggling and the mongrels are violent fucks.
duck figures if the bridge and the dock have been blown up, its probably the last breaths of the turf war between the DC and the mongrels. Mongrels found out the DC was still using the bridge and dock to smuggle things in so they blew em up.

On my first glance at that stack of books my brain read Shadowrun Stripper Assassin...

...and a male troll with a gun tucked into his g-string popped into my head.

Troll probably wouldn't know. That's fine, I'm working on a post now, work seems to love to keep me busy at the moment! Might not finish tonight but will be prepared enough to finish on my lunch break tomorrow. Definitely will try my best though, I'll be awake for a couple more hours yet at  least!

Writing for 6 is a lot of work! I'm probably spending a few hours on each post currently. It should be a lot easier once you guys are all together (which should be soon!) and I don't want to railroad anyone, but until then my posts may not be as frequent as I'd like. I'm not sure if it's your typical start to a game but I am enjoying watching you all come together and learn different threads of information to follow.
feel free to railroad me a lil bit.

And this is stolen for that story I'm writing.

I've posted for those of you who are by yourselves. I'll get to the rest of you asap, just want to push these forward a little first.

Still not as much as I'd like to have written :( Upside is it gives me time to think more about what's going on.

@Poindexter I'll update the post where I assumed you were jacked in later today.

No rush. I won't be sleeping tonight anyway. My tendency to sometimes be very literal-minded about questions and instructions has caused something very problematic I need to spend the night dealing with.

Hey, 2 questions.

1- What go-gang is Zipline in? OOC, im unfamiliar with the gang landscape of the area.

2- What's the policy on buying hits?

A question for me as well: roughly how many people did I witness fall over dead at the bridge?

@Tenlaar At least several dozen

@Poindexter If you don't mind her being from a smaller, less established gang just over the bridge then We'll say she's from

I prefer you guys to roll, makes it interesting. Is there a reason you want to buy hits on occasion? I'm not going to make you guys roll on every little thing, I actually prefer less crunch more story telling.

1- i don't care what go gang she's from. Big, small, i think it could be cool either way.

2- mainly, the only time i'd wanna buy hits is for mundane information gathering.
example 1: If i had 8 dice in my knowledge: corp politics+ logic roll, could i just buy 2 hits to know who the senior VP of renraku is, since it's not that interesting?
example 2: i wanna find out what the cover charge is for a club across town and i have at least 4 dice in my matrix search dicepool. can i just buy a hit to find the info, since it's intentionally easy to find?

Note: That negotiation roll I did, but didn't use? It's for nuyen negotiation. I'm going to use it, just when the nuyen hits.
