A discussion between Volker and 8-bit requires a GM call, so I'll put it here so everyone knows about it for the future.

The discussion is whether a headware cyberdeck is installed in the head.

Here's how ill rule it:

1.  Obviously part of the cyberdeck is installed in the head so that it can access the brain.

2.  But if you read pg 451 of SR5, you can install items with Capacity in cyberlimbs and save essence cost by sacrificing capacity.

3. #2 tells me that a cyberdeck is to big to fit the whole thing in your head.  So a standard in-body cyberdeck has components in the abdomen and in the brain.  This is the standard essence cost in the book.  Non-standard would be moving the 'guts' of the cyberdeck into a cyberlimb where you would then have to sacrifice capacity for a break on essence cost.

Make sense?

Works for me. I never did understand the exact rules for the item, so that makes it much clearer.

You already rolled for force 3 so we'll use that.

Since you just summoned a random water spirit I'd say it's powers are chosen by the GM at random. 

Results of the summoning:

-water spirit will appear and owes you 2 services.

-spirits optional power is Weather Control.

-you need to resist 2 points of Stun Drain

Also fine by me.
In case I need something less random, can I per principle pick the optional powers, when it's important?

No drain: Drain (DV = 2): 12d6t5 4

cheers

If you want a spirit with a particular power, you'll have to phrase that as part of the summoning.

Should I assume that the hostess takes me to the right table and write it into an IC?

No problem; you must be really busy getting ready for Christmas stuff. You're a great GM, no need to rush.

Aw shucks :). Honestly I'm just trying not to do anything really stupid.

On a less pleasant note, Shrazkil has been MIA for 10 days now.  I sent him a pm.  What do you guys want to do if he's a no show?  Roll with 4 or recruit again?

Oh, really? He usually is pretty active. Assuming he doesn't show, I say go ahead with 4. Normally, I would be fine with recruiting people, but I think it's time to get this show on the road.

If everyone else wants to recruit though, I'll gladly defer.

ad 1: Acutally it wasn't a discussion, just a question ;)
ad 2: Waitwaitwaitwait, which hostess? I thought there is only this ugly ork and nobody else?
ad 3: I'm in contact with SgtBoomCloud and know that he'd have loved to join the party. I regularly skype with him (3 forums are not enough for me haha absolutly sr-addicted ^^). If you allow, Ragallach, I'll tell him instantly and he'll be quick to join, promise.

2.  The hostess wasn't there when you walked in.  Maybe out having a smoke.  But you wanted Mac to go to the bar, which he did before going to the bathroom.  The old ork guy is the bartender. 

3.  Let's give Shraskil some time to respond and let's see what the others think about bringing another player in.

This part.

Before I make an IC post, just a quick question.

How are people seated? Is a waiter/waitress there to lead you to a spot, is it all done with AROs? Just wanted to incorporate that into my post.

This place is old school.  There's a hostess stand by the door where someone will seat you.

Ninja'd by RagallachMC.

Edit: Wait, out for a smoke at 16 or 17? I suppose she only looks like that, but if she is, damn. Sixth world is harsh. Not that it doesn't happen today either.

I'm fine with moving on with only 4

And ill post my IC post as soon as 8 bit is done. Seems easier if we do the seating section in chronological order anyway. It's what i get for being the least early ~_~
No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

No need to wait for me, unless you want to make it easier for RagallachMC. Doesn't need to take longer than you want it to.

lol, why, 16 is not a legal age to smoke in the States??

Nope, it's 18 here. And 21 to drink. Which is stupid, but you know ... legal stuff and bureaucracy. Not that I really think it's necessary to be so high, but it is.
