Sorry I keep forgetting to color my text guys. I'll get better, I promise.

Coloring the text is an artistic preference. I like doing it because I forget to put in quotation marks sometimes, so you know when I'm talking and when I'm not. You can do as you please, long as it's legible.

Also worth noting, everyone needs to make an INT (4) test to be able to read Doc Carver's handwriting.

Thinking on this, I'm going to give everyone a free fixer, so I can have one guy everyone knows. I'll stat him out later. Meanwhile, if you already have a fixer contact, you can swap him or her out, or specialize her, or whatnot.

So I've finished reviewing everyone's character sheets. If you haven't heard from me it's probably because I don't like you, but you should poke me anyways just in case I just forgot to hit send.

I feel your pain. I have a 7.3l Ford with one or more bad glowplugs. I can barley get it to start when cold.

Ah, well then I guess that means my fake ID decker contact is back in!

Does Or'zet exist right now?  Dunklezahn willed it to the orcish community on his death.

Oh, good catch. There's certainly no mention of it. I'd have to imagine that no, it isn't really around yet.

The timeline for this mission is a little wonky.  I think our previous game was somewhere in the 2060s (though that may be off - we were never terribly specific).  For Firefox, this occurs some time after that.  However, once she gets swapped out with my new character, we're at the beginning of the 2050s, when Dunklezahn hasn't even announced he's running for president yet.  For sake of continuity, let's just assume everything's early 2050s.

Warlock, I like your robes.

In reply to St. Velveteen (msg # 164):

Are you trying to get into my kilt?

Flattery will get you everywhere. :P

No comment. ;)



Hmm, Twitch "likes to use guns and race bikes."  St. Velveteen "likes to use guns and raze bikes."  Their interests overlap almost to the letter.

If I were awarding karma, that would've earned a point.  Thanks for making my evening :>

That's as good a reason as any.

+1 karma, St. Velveteen.

Well now that Warlock and Velveteen have started pairing off, I guess it's not worth mentioning I haven't decided if Carver is bi or not. Still has a thing for trolls, though. That's definite.

I don't think ... that's quite how Velveteen and warlock are pairing off.

As a note, in previous years I was the control freak who updated everyone's karma for them.

I don't plan on doing that. I will try to post a summary of karma distributed at the end of the run, but it's the player's job to:

1) Record when you got karma, preferably with a date or a note so if I'm looking back to fix things I can figure out where everything went (i.e., audit-safe :P)
2) Really, that's it. Record your own karma.

Same with other character changes. Just keep a log saying 'X increased'. This also helps me, since I keep a lot of notes offline for quick access, and I can double check the notes to see if anything has changed lately.

Haha, well if it makes you feel any better Carver, I was thinking I was going to have Velveteen be interested almost exclusively in dainty elf ladies.

Oh, some other notes...

I'd like to get the actual extraction started this week HOWEVER, I will be out of contact probably Wednesday until Sunday.

I'll try to answer all planning questions early next week, then push the extraction the week after. The big questions are:

1) Are you extracting from the studio, the hotel, or some third location?
2) Are you doing anything special prior I should know about? (No, you're not, this is the extraction of a 40-pound non-sentient marsupial and you don't need to be making it about anything else.)

Can we have a thread for the plotting place?  Carver's warehouse or whatever?  That way we could continue whatever is going on after the meet and start planning also?

I don't have a pun for that, sorry.

How bout "warehouses, dropbears, and shadowrunners OH MY!"

-_-

I at least expected something to the level of 'Meeting at the Bearhouse'.

"with the right koalifications everything should go as plant" sounds a little long, but it's all I got.

Oh wow, going for double credit there. Let me see if that works.

Jeez I been slacking I just now posted my character sheet and found a picture.
