[Walks Through Walls]

Inca I have a question that was brought up in one of the discussion boards. Being a mystic adept for your game what is the max force I can cast a spell at without overcasting? I will go with whatever you say no problem just need to know so I can decide how to proceed.

I don't have my book with me right now, but I would say that it would be the same value as the value you use for your spellcasting dicepool.  If the book says that you use your full magic attribute + spell-casting skill, then it makes sense that over-casting is also going over your full magic attribute.....but if the book says your dicepool is you magic attribute minus the points you spent for powers, then I would say over-casting is for forces bigger than that value.

ok works for me

Just a note, I'll be at my monthly game tomorrow, so I'll have limited access to the boards.

Have fun at your game.

I know I'll be at a historical mini's con tomorrow, but I'll look in when I get home that night.

Re-checking the Comlink Optimization entry, I just realized that it adds a +1 DP modifier, which doesn't really mesh with Stealth as a thing which creates a threshold.  So, I guess I'll switch it to Exploit.  Ghost knows you can't have too much Exploit juice.

Sorry guys these last two days have been nuts for me....I'll definitely post tomorrow and keep the action moving along

[Walks Through Walls]

No problem I understand

I am sure I will have periods like that also.

Just so you guys don't get confused, I like to keep as much material inside 1 post as possible, so if I posted something, but then wanted to add some info and I see no-one has really read it yet, sometimes I won't post again, i'll just edit it into the last post I made.  I"ll only do this if just a little time has gone by since my last post or if it's clear that not everyone has read and responded to my last post yet.  If I go back and edit older posts it's because of spelling mistakes or wording mistakes, but not content edits.

In terms of time stamps, I don't think it's super important....i'll keep you guys posted of the time from time to time.  I just feel it kind of takes away from the whole feel....makes it less story-like...more video-gamey.   I hope it doesn't annoy you guys that I don't use colors or fancy time-stamps because I just don't really dig that esthetic.  A lot of PbP's that i've seen kind of confuse me with all the colors they use and it's hard for me to read....but that's just me.  It also probably reflects my attitude towards time in real life....let's just say time is a very nebulous concept for me.

Sorry didn't mean to interrupt a game.

Null sweat.  I just separate the things that way to make it easier for people to keep track of what information is public for all players and such.  Though, most of that could be abstracted away in the assumption that (by and large) there's no benefit to keeping the info to yourself.  That would certainly avoid the echo effect of 'GM tells player - Player must tell other players'
I do still like bolding the name of a player the first time it comes up in a post, just to make sure it catches the eye and establishes who is involved in that action.

@TranKirsaKali:
I'm glad you felt like sharing that with us....but we're right in the middle of a shadowrun right now....basically 50% into it....but it really depends if things go well or bad....if they go well then we're 50% into it, if people fudge the run then it'll be done sooner.....have i said too much?   
It would be cool to keep a campaign going, so i'll give preference to the current runners, but if any of them wants out, then you're in.

Heh... discovered a slight hiccup regarding editing the posts... I didn't actually notice until now since I check "Unread Posts Since Last Visit", and editing the post didn't mark it as unread... Guess that means I better set up the notification on the thread.
