Shadowrun: The Darkness Within [EX][Closed][VERY DARK!]

[TheGlyphstone]

Whats normal?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I am hoping to have my black magic elf ready to bend plebian servants to my will.....or blow stuff up.  Whichever tickles my fancy.

[Mosos]

Yeah, I'm tapped out of ideas then. I'm already playing a rigger,  face, and shaman. You've naysayed the infiltrator, deckers bore me, and street sams are a fools bet in PbP.

Oh well. 

You could always take a technomancer out for a spin!

Gloomy hates technomancers with the burning fiery passion of a thousand flaming suns, the flames of which are also on fire.

[Mosos]

Glad that came up before I posted one! Bullet dodged.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Kinda makes me want to play one.   :: hides::

[TheGlyphstone]

ENTIRE PARTY IS TECHNOMANCERS!   

[Mosos]

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pumpkin Seeds]

We can do this!

[GloomCookie]

ENTIRE PARTY IS TECHNOMANCERS!   

The mission starts with Glyph's character on the dissection table at NeoNet. I need 12 successes to get off the table before they start carving up your brain.

[Callie Del Noire]

I left my tablet and mac at home, the loaner PC I'm on is so buggy it might take a day to fix

So I'll be slow.

I was going to do some form of adept, leaning towards face/disquise if it's allowed

No worries. I have yet to even see a character sheet and I don't think anyone's taken face yet.

[Lexi Pet]

I am very interested

[TheSithChicken]

I've been familiarizing myself with the system and options before I settle into an idea for a character but I'm starting to have some ideas.

Hey, I offered you my best concept up front. You're the one who forced me to go digging into the bin of backup ideas.

[Captain Whitebread]

I am going to make the responsible choice and withdraw from this game. I have way too much on my plate to add another game. Shadowrun is a long-standing passion of mine but realistically I do not have the time that should be dedicated to a game like this.

Know that I will be lurking in the shadows, watching, waiting.....

No hard feelings. I'm sure we'll have openings over time as I kill characters off as things change.

[TheGlyphstone]

Can I run a death pool?

[Annaamarth]

I would be interested in either:
A - a Troll archery adept dealing with photophobia and sensory overload syndrome (and life as a troll)
B - a face-adept with a seeeeecret.

For Glyph

A corpSIN, because I hate myself.

C - a technomancer. Only time I've done a technomancer in the past it was as a Rigger, so this time as not-a-rigger, probably.

Any feedback Glyph Gloomy? Are there still openings?

Editted because I noted the dislike of technos but appended it to the wrong G-name.

My fault for late-night complex thinking.

[TheGlyphstone]

Gloomy is the GM, not me. See above for her burning fiery hatred of technos, but thats all I can offer for advice.

[TheSithChicken]

Rolling some ideas around in my head. Haven't set anything in stone yet. Trying to make sure I understand the system first because the system looks like there are a lot of fiddly bits that if I miss could make my character suck.

- A shark totem adept who is a blend of martial arts (probably Muay Thai) and recon. This one comes with a question. Could I use Improved Sense to buy the Electroception Metagenic Power? By RAW it says any sensory ability provided by cyberware or bioware or listed under Improved Sense but this seems like something I should be able to purchase with it. I like it thematically for a shark totem adept plus I have an actual degree in marine biology with a focus on sharks.

- A necromantic initiate forensic thaumaturgist who is (obviously) a dedicated investigator.

[Callie Del Noire]

I'm leaning towards a face of some sort...
Either a mystic (or just physical) adept who is a disquise type.. or going cyber with it.

Not sure if I'd play a face or a shadowrunner jack of all trades.

Would you quit telling everyone I hate technomancers? I want a chance to murder them and you keep scaring them away. Jackass.

All three look pretty good, honestly. Only reason I don't like Technomancers is I have a hard time figuring out their rules, but the other two I don't see an issue with. If you can build it, more power to you.

Since you really seem to like sharks sure, I'll allow it. The thaumaturgist wouldn't be a bad back-up idea though.

I generally recommend against jack of all trade types in Shadowrun because you simply don't have enough karma or priority to make it work. You'll have such poor dice pools all across the board that it would just be better to focus on a particular task and fall back on your team assisting you with others. Maybe pick up a second if you want but that would be for teamwork tests only.

[TheSithChicken]

Okay. I think I'll go with the shark totem adept then and then I can figure out the full Magic rules so that the other can be a viable back up. Put the more complex one on the back burner until I know what the fuck I'm doing.

[Callie Del Noire]

My access is iffy till I get back on the 27th. 

I’ll go either with a stealthy type or face type then
