You'll notice right away that I renamed the game.  GRoDT was VH's game, and maybe he'll come back and run it some day.  For now, we're going with this one.

I'm going to be running you guys all over the globe in time, but for now, we're starting out in Seattle.  It's the city with the most support, and I'm going to run you guys on modules anyway until I get inspired by your play to take it to other directions.

This first run is going to assume a little bit, and will fast-forward you right to the meet.  What I'd like from you here is a sort of roll call and a description of how you'd be equipped for the meetup.

Any questions, feel free to ask in this thread since I don't want the play thread too cluttered up with discussion.  If I don't respond to your question in a timely fashion, feel free to repeat it or PM me.  I sometimes get distracted.  Anyway, basic background info an first IC post, coming up.

Your Johnson this evening contacted the lot of you through Van Isherwood and asked for a hurry-up meeting.  Isherwood vouches fully for the client and says that this kind of situation is community business, and shouldn't be handled too lightly.

Ok so this is the thread we're using. Sounds good. Good luck, and thanks again for running it! I'm looking forward to my firs PbP experience.

I'm going to second or third the thanks for running the game.  Quick question: are we supposed to know one another or are we part of Isherwood's stable pulled together for the first time?

You know as much or as little as you like about each other.  If you feel that your character wouldn't have much contact with other shadowrunners, that's up to you, but with 400bp, none of you are first-timers.

Rolls!

I may sometimes secretly roll for you, but not often.  I generally want you to roll as that frees you up to choose when you throw edge.

First off, we'll be using Invisible Castle for the rolls.  It goes down a couple of hours each week, but it has all the features we need to do this well.

So, if you haven't already, I'd like you to go to http://invisiblecastle.com/accounts/register/ and make an account.  This will make sure that all of your rolls are saved and organized by player name and game.  There's a registration email, so you can't just BS the sign up.

So, once you log in, you'll see something like this:


Fill out the fields, name, game, number of times you're rolling and number of dice you're rolling.  .hits(5) will count the number of rolls that hit 5 or higher.  .hitsopen(5,6) is for when you're throwing edge up front.  It counts the number of 5s and 6s, but will re-roll any 6s.

Once you roll, you'll see something like this:


You'll notice you can see every die rolled in order, and the number of hits is counted.  If there are any dice pool penalties you've forgotten, I can remove dice from right to left to see how the roll would have gone with the fewer dice, which is helpful.  Once you've made this roll, you can link to it with the BB Code at the bottom, cut and paste like so.  15d6.hits(5)=8

Sorry, I thought those would've been rolls made by the gm.

Signed up with Invisible Castle. As for how much we know about each other, I'm going to say this is Mary's first run with you guys, as she tends to work alone.
She did have a brief introduction to you from Isherwood over the phone (as in, he showed her what you guys look like and gave her an idea of who you were.

Sorry for Double Post: My character's name is Mary, or Marlene (although y'all wouldn't know that yet). Jink is Psikerlord :P

Didn't realize Analyze truth was an opposed test.  Choose force 2 though to avoid detection not reduce drain.

No worries, I actually responded to all that in an edit btw.  it should be in the spot where I mentioned the rolls earlier.

They probably just haven't had the opportunity to post yet.
