[Kouryuu]

So we go to the meeting and after that we have a week to prepare, or we have a week before we are contacted?

You have the week before you are contacted

P.s. just a small preposition
you all can attend a party in this week and meet this Fixer in it, and later you get the job trough him, would that work for you Fixer less people? 

[AalithHUN]

Paaaartyyy! Great way to meet contacts!

[Sentinemodo]

good idea faro - I could have been smuggled by your friend or a friend of your friend

as far as the money part - I have a mere 3d6*50=500 nuyen

I'll spend the time to summon an bronze warrior of Ogoun - Loa of Iron and War (Force 4 guardian spirit)
(up to Force 2 it would be copper warrior, Force 3-4 bronze, Force 5-6 iron, Force 7-8 steel, above are named Loas from Ogoun family)

Summoning -> Magic(5) + Summoning(5) + Summoning Focus(2) -> 12d6.hits(5)=2
Spirit resists Force(4) -> 4d6.hits(5)=1
Drain Value of 2 - soaked without problems on buying hits
Ogoun has came, but since the grip was to weak Caretaker releases him

Summoning -> Magic(5) + Summoning(5) + Summoning Focus(2) -> 12d6.hits(5)=2
Spirit resists Force(4) -> 4d6.hits(5)=2 -> DV 4
Drain resistance -> Charisma(5) + Intuition(4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=2 -> 2S taken
Ogoun has came, but since the grip was to weak Caretaker releases him again

Summoning -> Magic(5) + Summoning(5) + Summoning Focus(2) -> 12d6.hits(5)=6
Spirit resists Force(4) -> 4d6.hits(5)=1
Drain Value of 2 - soaked without problems on buying hits
Finally the Ogoun came and the grip was sufficient -> 5 services

Resting for one hour to recover from the 2S damage (buying hits Body(3) + Willpower(5))
Binding -> Magic(5) + Binding(4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=1, ritual takes 4 hours
Spirit resist Force(4) + Force(4) -> 8d6.hits(5)=3 -> DV 6, binding unsuccessful
Drain resist -> Charisma(5) + Intuition(4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=1 it's a glitch, I'll take 1P and 4S instead of 5S

Resting another 2 hours before another try (attempting at 1P) (buying hits Body(3) + Willpower(5))
the time before sprit escape is down to 4 hours so it's the last try with this one.
Binding -> Magic(5) + Binding(4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=4, ritual takes 4 hours
Spirit resist Force(4) + Force(4) -> 8d6.hits(5)=4 -> DV 8
I'll use Edge to reroll missess on the binding roll -> 5d6.hits(5)=2 bind successfull, materials used up, 1 additional service to a total of 6
Drain resist -> Charisma(5) + Intuition(4) -> 9d6.hits(5)=3 5S to a total of 1P and 5S.

I'll spend next day on recuperating the physical wound (Body(3) + Body(3)) -> 6d6.hits(5)=3

I'll spend rest of the week looking for haitian or at least vodoo believers in the plex, looking for work and preaching voodoo on the streets.

I'll bring the party favors! What's everyone's favorite Synthahol!

Who am I acquianted with anyhow?  My character's eccentric though so he wouldn't be hard to meet..

[Sentinemodo]

Sen, just a few things, I hope you don't mind:

Why do you have so much fetishes? 9 fetish for 9 spells? All of your spells are limited? You know if you loose those, you cannot cast spells, right?

You have 4 Binding Materials, but at what rating?

Audio Enhancement costs 1 capacity per rating, so an earbud can only have a rating 3 A. E. and nothing more. I don't know why, it's not consistent because Visual E. costs 1 Cap no matter the rating.

Welcome

1. Fetishes - I took fetishes, since they are cheap Haven't yet decided with going limited. I was thinking about limiting some of the spells for flavor - specialy control actions, animate and orgy
2. Binding Material - since they are using up, I assume they are just 500 nuyen per point, but if that's important I am taking 1 bag of rating 4.
3. Audio enhancements - generated by chummer (took a basic pacakge). Select sound filters takes 1 regardless of rating? if so I'll reduce the audio enh to keep the select sound filter in.

[Xzylvador]

If there's some nice chicas to be found there, Rafa just might show up!

-- Kour: Had a fire in my apartment yesterday afternoon, might be a bit slower on updating Rafa than I had hoped, sorry. (In 3 weeks time: A burglary, 2 dead grandparents and a fire, this new year is taking off very well for me.)
Please do PM comments and critique on him (or tell me he's okay as is). The changes I'll do to him probably won't be a lot more than maybe add Blandness or Human Looking and/or change some other qualities and contacts. I -might- change his weapon skill, Longarms seem just so damned crappy compared to the rest

Don't think he'll do much that week other than wait for a call, he needs work, badly.

Just remember, you have to decide when learning the spell. Limit those which have high drain, but leave a few unlimited in case of emergency - in some adventures (more than not ) you're stripped of your possessions - jail, other captivity, stealing, chase and you had to leave them behind etc. Even if they are implanted into your skin (but that's not free, so cos.mod. I think with cost GM decided) creative GM-s usually find a way to take them if they want. Implanting is much safer then wearing, but still, there always must be a plan B for when the drek hits the fan. (it would be good to take unarmed combat, escape artist and such, unfortunately mages are not BP friendly, all rounded characters )

still waiting for the Background by the way.

Laura and Freya are quit the lookers, but not sure who is attending and who not,

That's why I haven't yet decided on that - doesn't really matter yet. I might as well keep them in suticase for sell and bacame a travelling talismonger. I only need a fresh supply of bones *hint*

Hey, long time no see.  I hope things will get better soon.

I must say that I find longarms not bad, as I often give characters a shotgun.  I almost never use long bursts (unless it's vehicle mounted weaponry, but that falls under gunnery), so a shotgun with BF capacity is more then enough (and most fights are close enough that full assault rifles are not necessary).  I prefer the enfield AS-7, but with the laser removed and a smartlink installed.  Other mods I put in are powered folding stock, sling, foregrip, personilsed grip.  That takes care of almost all of the recoil (and all those mods can be stacked).

@Kour: I'll be at the party, no probs.
@pyro: we'll have to see with your background and contacts.  As our characters are already posted, try to work something in.  It doesn't have to be much and I'm sure there's always a way. 
@Senti: JJ sometimes smuggles people, so that's okay for me.

We use the "Strength and Recoil Compensation" rule from Arsenal? (p163)

i do not see a reason not to use it.

If some one has a reason the you can speak up.

[Xzylvador]

Other than "It's an optional rule"... I have to say the rule makes a lot of sense to me.

We using all the "advanced rules" then? (They add a lot of fluff and realism, but make some things a bit more complicated too.)

not really, just some exceptions like 2xcha for free contacts and this one for now, if you have some ideas we can talk about it, but i think sticking to the basics would make my first game much more easier, and i am not sure how well i will be following all the rules we set up.
