Hmm, I just wrote a post to respond to Poindexter's question but now it's not here. Hopefully it will reappear on its own so I don't have to retype it.

@rednblack I don't know much about Skype chatrooms but my other game was via IRC. It was live (as in, everyone is logged on at the same time) and text-based (so everyone is typing). It's fantastic for back-and-forth conversations and RP but of course very slow for action sequences (as you quickly try to type out the situation and all the modifiers and possibilities). We would do three hours at a time for a weekly session.

Well my previous post seems to be gone forever so I'll rewrite it.

I made up the encounter with the bandersnatchii; it was not in Ryo's notes. It's primary purpose was to be an entertaining way to kill some time while Zweiblumen was in Russia. 8-bit had only been missing for about four weeks at that point so I figured a small diversion would also buy him a little more time in case he was coming back.

I thought a mini-encounter would be fun, and would provide an opportunity to play with some of the things that go bump in the night in the Sixth World. I also wanted to explore the rural nature of the setting, since most Shadowrun campaigns get played in purely urban areas.

I had no intention of Infecting anyone, but sometimes you have to follow where the dice lead. Not everything is neat and tidy, or what the GM intends, but sometimes those results are equally interesting.

Forgive my ignorance here, but what does that "look" like?  Are there times when the whole team gets on at once to RP a section, make a plan, do the social stuff?

Just whenever people are available, they'd log onto the chat and see what all else is going on. Nothing formal or anything.

I have a #slack team I'd be happy to use for this. I've even written a Shadowrun die roller for it like orokos or invisible castle. Advantage of this is having offline a rollback (i.e., you can see what people have said when you aren't logged in).  Send me a PM if you want an invite.

As a reminder, one more week for Tabula Rasa posts before we close up shop. Posting is optional but encouraged so that we hear from everyone before they ride off into the sunrise.

Been a hectic Holiday week for me, but I'll try to get another post up this weekend.

Do we know, IC, that the two Russians are Vory? Whether they live or die depends on that info.

You might strongly suspect it, but you don't know for certain until you open Cannon's file, which happens long after you've left them.

I don't even think we know for sure Sam is Vory.

New IC post is up. T-minus 2 days until we close up shop. At least one more post from everyone would be awesome, if you can swing it.

I'll get a post up tomorrow.  I've got plenty to build off of from all of the great posts Tec has made this month.

Dang. That all happened too fast. Sam would have wanted to be in on the "talk" with rohzki. He would have insisted, it being the spirit that used to be in HIS body and all. There's answers he wants. and he wants them firsthand.

Katsina would probably assent to Sam attending, if only to further desensitize Sam to the realities of being Infected. And, hey, when Katsina's done, Sam can eat himself!!

The information Katsina will uncover is the background/history of Rozkhi and Blue Team. It will be the six-minute version I shared earlier in the OOC forum; it won't be names, numbers, and current addresses of every girl Rozkhi has ever kissed.

Poindexter, you can post accordingly if you want.

Oh dear. I think that would be the first metahuman meat Sam ever eats. He was intending on eating that one troll, but he went down before he could. Also, Sam is gonna want a LITTLE info about where he came up, who his family is, that sorta thing. Sam imagines he has quite a few wronged people in his past who could probably use a chunk of his 400sum.

Well it's not like Rozkhi is your only source of information for that. You have a name, your prior appearance, etc. Doc can probably dig up some details.
