Shadowrun Online! [5th edition]

[undisclosedtoyou]

Hey there! Voicing some interest if there is still room!

Is there any chance I could get an updated tally of what people are/aren't playing? I kind of got lost in the 5 pages of what concepts people were/weren't doing!

Let's see, we've got:

A Decker
Street Samurai
Aspectd Mage (sorceress)
Gun Runner(A walking armory!)
(2)Mage
Street Shaman(Woohoo Cuchulainn!)

[Lockepick]

Did anybody else plan on going Face -- or can I put my quarter on that machine?

[undisclosedtoyou]

I haven't seen anyone put interest in creating a face character.  So go right ahead!

[Lockepick]

I think I did that thing where I see a game that looks interesting, and see 5 pages of reply -- and I panic and post interest before really reading things through. I foolishly missed a few key details, so as interesting as the game sounds, I'm going to withdraw my interest and concept. Apologies for misleading! Best of luck to everybody!

Lol, that's okay!

Question for the Clan.  Need a bit of a pointer on Skills.  Skill Priority A (my choice) gives me 10 Skill Group Points.  I'm planning on investing those into three categories - Electronics (Decker, need it, minimum value 4, probably higher), Influence (always a good set to have), and Biotech (I had thought about Engineering, but Biotech seemed like an odd choice, so I went with it).

Thoughts on distribution for the 10 points?

I found Errata for free at Drivethru RPG, but I'm not sure if it's an actual copy or if it's say, a sample.  The comments say the file on offer is 3 pages, is that consistant to what you all have?

Reiji, if one of those skills is a skill you intend to dabble in, you can guy it for--I tihnk--5 of your starting karma, freeing up base points for other things 

It's bee a bit so I could be wrong. 

[ReijiTabibito]

No, you've got it.  5 BP for a base skill group.  So, what're you suggesting, that I split my 10 points between Electronics & Influence? That'd either mean a level 6 Electronics and level 4 Influence, or Level 5 in each...

[Lockepick]

I'm an idiot and realized I had once again read something wrong... working on a Magical Adept Face... sorry for being so wishy washy.

[Muse]

:)  That would make you quite influencial.  :) 

You're doing a decker, right?  I'd go 6 electronics. 

[ReijiTabibito]

Can you max out skill groups like you can regular skills, though?  In SR4, skill groups were capped at a rating of 4...

Lol, LP!  It's okay, I don't think you're wishy washy!

[ReijiTabibito]

Question.  I'm looking over the gear stuff in R&G...I'm interested in the Ballistic Mask, and the description says it has a metric ton of custom looks, but they never give a price for that...is that just built into the regular cost, then?

[1SAZ]

Well Reiji played Payday...

As for the cost, it doubles the cost. If you look at the stat block, customized is +150NY to it's base 150.

[ReijiTabibito]

Payday?  No, no.  I watch Arrow.  Or Teen Titans, back in the day.  Or Arkham Origins...

...do you see where I'm going with this?

[undisclosedtoyou]

Character thread is up, everyone!

[Lockepick]

Spoilered because it's huge! Still have some finishing touches to do: Spend Remaining Karma; Names/Details on Contacts.

Hope you don't mind I tweaked your lists into tables. Thought it looked a little neater! I feel like my backstory and personality are weak, but I'm also not sure how relevant they'll be!

Human Mystic Adept Face

Real World Character Sheet

Name: Hunter Gleason

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Homosexual (Submissive Bottom)

Distinguishing Features/Marks: Laid back clothing

Noteworthy Skills: Strong math background; Interpersonal Skills; Analytical Mind.

Personality: Hunter originally joined MMOs as a social event. He played the games looking forward to working with groups of people even if the content didn't actually enforce it. He came to Shadowrun Online because it was a system that enforced a team dynamic. Once it was clear that players were locked into the game, it created a lot more risk to an already 'deadly' system. More than ever, Hunter respects the risks, and tries to plan carefully to avoid combat and keep Player's safe; trying to unite players towards the common goal of 'beating the game' and getting out.

Background: Hunter's father worked from home as an Engineer. His job and personal interests made him an 'early adopter' for technology, even if he didn't have the mindset to really learn or understand the new piece. Hunter grew up with the technology around him. When school became difficult for somebody who favored 'nerdy' pursuits, he found more understanding people online. He didn't cloister in like some might, managing to maintain a balance of social graces, self confidence, and book smarts through high school.

I sent you a PM LP! 

[Cuchulainn]

Hmm can't decide between an elf and an ork

[Muse]

  Be diferent!  Play an orc!  (Or a dwarf!) 

[Muse]

  I think  J.T. may be ready.

Different is a great suggestion!

  I think  J.T. may be ready. 

Oh woot! I've been looking forward to reading her!

[Latooni Subota]

Guess who took that distinctive flaw?! I should have everything done in a few hours, after I meet up with my mother for lunch.

[ReijiTabibito]

A request for a reminder.  You can't take any Qualities, negative or positive, that revolve around personality, right?
