I don't think we need additional gear restrictions at this point...but if folks think it would be good then it's certainly fine with me.

[Raven Runner]

If we can broadly stick to the core book plus Run Faster and Run and Gun that would be good...but if there are some things you want to pull from another book by all means go for it!  Maybe just make a note of it on your sheet so I know where it came from or something:)

Hacking: Just reminding everyone that hacking will be less important in this game.  You're welcome to playing hacking types, or have hacking as a secondary skill, but you will also be able to get by with out a hacker if need be and if you have those skills just be aware that you might not be using them a whole ton.

In the fluff, the corps are very concerned about non-corp hackers...and while corp hackers live fairly well non-corp ones have to hide their skills and avoid detection.  I have to read up on hacking again before I go to far with these adjustments...but this is what I'm thinking so far.

Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions related to your character and hacking.

Question: if the team that's shaping up is missing some skill sets do you all want to know?

It won't matter too much in terms of how the game goes, I'm just curious if it's more fun to play as part of a team chosen for it's diversity...or as a group of runners thrown together and come what may?

The characters I'm getting look great, and the desperate side of covering some weaknesses could be fun...just thought I'd check in and see what you all think though

[Stoneglobe]

Given what you've suggested as background, all new to Seattle and/or the shadows, that we would most likely be a group thrown together and it's up to us to identify what skill sets we're missing IC and find ways around it. It would also open up the possibility for characters to claim they have knowledge they don't really have without it necessarily being caught by the other characters.

[Raven Runner]

Haha, yup...this is going to be so good

[Raiderjoseph]

The best part is that none of us know what the other players characters are. So we can't edit our characters to compensate. We could have 5 mages for all we know.

[Ravensoracle]

Just thought of something. With us all being street scum, which means transport will probably be an issue. Will we all be in the same neighborhood?

[Raiderjoseph]

Vexboy doesn't have a car or even a Dodge Scoot. He doesn't live in the neighborhood but will do runs there so I guess he might get a place there with his money for overnight runs at somepoint... (he might need to get a ride with one of his contacts which I'm sure will be embarrassing.)

[Blueclaws]

It will be like Thailand, we can get some planks and attach them to the dodge scoot and all cram on the one. 😏

[Raiderjoseph]

Out of sheer curiosity who has made their character yet? I made mine.

[Ravensoracle]

Made my character twice since we switched to Street Scum rules.

[Stoneglobe]

Mine's done as well. Background material has also been completed. I just need to flesh out my contacts now to give them personalities and some background

I'm curious how a gm does contacts. We are basically giving him characters to play. Also I love that quote. And the book as well.

[Stoneglobe]

Up to each individual GM. The more info you give him or her the more the contact is your own but it's really one of the GM's many characters. It's no different to doing it sat at a table really.
