I don't think it'll be too much of an issue, unless the designated leader is somehow unable to post regularly and there is some kind of conflict that needs to be resolved or decision that needs to be made and they are MIA.

I've not done a Shadowrun PbP before, but I have done others and generally speaking I think you post when you have time, it's 'your turn' (hopefully the term makes sense in this context), and you have something to say/do.  My experience with other games is that over time posts start to flow in a more organic way and it all works out, but I may have been fortunate in my past experiences so ymmv.

Hello guys,
Sorry for the lack of posting. Am at an long event in Vegas since Monday and until monday. Very little time for a post.

@Beta a leader is fine, being the leader doesn't mean being the one who always have to speak first nor last. It's more along the lines when choice is needed to be made he/she would have the final say. From my experience it's good as it can put an end to endless discussions about what to do or not do when no one is able to make up their mind. Also it's a good role playing opportunities as conflict and disagreements may happen but a leader will try to find a way to solve them. It in my mind solidify the team, as opposed to have a group of individuals together.

Ummm....crap....that is going to take me a bit to get written up in IC.  Also, crap...   

Will update the team when I get a chance tonight, am at work.

I know everything you sent me, correct?

Some rolls to try and figure if the modus operandi of the crime matches the standard operating procedure of the terrorist group.

Underworld Roll: Underworld Knowledge: Terrorist Group: 6d6t5 2 hits / limit 7

Small Unit Tactics: Small Unit Tactics Knowledge: does MO match SOP: 8d6t5 2 hits / limit 7

Matrix Search on terrorist group, attempting to gather as much intel on the group as possible: Matrix search: Terrorist Group: 8d6t5 4 hits / limit 7

Sounds like the consensus is that my fretting is misplaced, so leader we shall have!

IC post coming, as soon as I figure out the "Forty way" of phrasing it.

[Beta]

I thoroughly approve of Henway's way of looking at the issue!

[Jayde Moon]

Sorry no activity over the weekend, looking over what's been going on, I'll leave it to you guys to plan or give me any actions.

Sorry to the group on Forty's ammo-light status.  Problem with mystic adepts is they are so karma hungry that gear got squeezed really hard.  On some runs a couple of 30 round clips would probably be plenty, but as I said IC this could shape up to be quite the fight, and more ammo would give more options.

FWIW, two things I really wrestled over during character creation were:
- there is already a thunderbird shaman in the roster, maybe I should avoid that totem, but it is kind of central to the character ... oh, hey she is a prime runner, so Forty won't be in the same group as her!
- 60 rounds of ammo seems pretty low.  Ah well, most runs are about stealth and tactical strikes, not mass battles, so that should be OK.
- I can't afford a decent ID and a decent comm.  Well, most runs deal with infiltrating fairly civilized places and she can afford to go wireless off, so the ID will be the more important.

So far the first one I was wrong, the second one it looks like I was wrong, given which record I'm assuming we'll really need Ravener protecting our network but we'll be nowhere that ID matters much

@Beta: So you don't have to go looking up the rules, the shopsoft adds 1 to your limit for price negotiation and availability tests.

[Beta]

Thanks, I hadn't thought of it as anything more than a convenience, but I won't complain about a mechanical bonus

@Jayde Moon: the availability is normally done as charisma + negotiate.  As I mailed you about last week, there is that situational issue for Forty and negotiate -- how does that play into any such roll?   (I was thinking of making rolls and seeing how quickly stuff would be available)

[obidancer]

Guys, I'm back. Sorry for the week long lack of posting. IC post coming next!

[Jayde Moon]

Looks like mostly IC discussion at this point.

@ Beta

-2 to negotiate with humans.  I'm not sure you had something else in mind?

[Beta]

Gear locating roll .... I'm not sure who it would be with (species-wise).  But I guess human would be the default.

[WillAsher]

Forty, if you can use pistol or rifle ammo I have plenty.  (just to make sure that you understand what Ravener is saying)  I have an extra sniper rifle if you can use it. 

As far as searching the Matrix for clues on the unusual shoes and SMG, do you want matrix perception rolls?  Also, how tough is it to hack into traffic cameras near the site of the attack to try and get a license plate on the Van?  Same for GridGuide.
