SLIGHTLY social. Like...a not-bad Intimidation (Pool 8), and a couple others like 1 lower. So not a social 'monster' by any means.

Brannigan has a sedan (mostly due to other reasons, not ferrying around the team lol).

Also mostly done with my character, still fiddling with gear. As for vehicles, I think I'll be able to start with a scooter... and a loan shark on my back.

How are we standing with fake SINs? That's the most expensive item on my list.

Reyna has a rating one fake SIN. I figure that she’ll disguise herself to match the person on the SIN rather than figuring out a source of more nuyen for now, or she’ll use technomancy to tell things they don’t need to look at her SIN.

...I bought a Rating 3 Fake Sin. Is that too high for where we are at? lol

It's not too high.

I went with Rating 2. From what I understand, anything below 4 is basically a burner SIN, good as long as nobody bothers to check it.

Hmm, 3 is pretty good. The rating sets the threshold when it's checked. I'd say anything less than 3 is a burner. If a 3 is a burner, then it's not worth it. Brannigan has to have a high enough one to have his driver's license under, just in case, as he uses his car in a non-illegal fashion mostly.

I should probably actually say this somewhere, but some of Reyna's buffs depend on characters being able to see augmented reality objects, so please consider buying eyewear with an image link if you haven't already.

And I did invest a couple Karma into a beat to drek Thundercloud Morgan so there's room for one other person if they can deal with a nutjob Ork using the 4x4 as a shortcut driving over Puyallup ashfields or Barrens rubble.

Image link, no problem.

Sedan that seats 3 comfortably and an ork uncomfortably (sorry, buddy, it's not me, it's the car), no problem. =)

All right. With people discussing contacts, it seems character creation is winding down. Let's get going.

Y'all have plans for how your characters know each other. You're welcome to fill that out in character.

The initial scenario will be a bit railroady so the game actually kicks off. I expect to introduce other story hooks as part of that initial scenario, so other choices will be available next.

Screech is getting desperate, so he's spamming the area trying to find a spot. Brannigan got the message directly.

Others of you might have a contact connect you. Many other options exist for how a character could hear of this story hook. Other than Brannigan, please post how you hear about this....if you do.

Not sure how Winter would hear of this. But she has been scavenging abandoned (or not so abandoned) buildings in Puyallup (among other places), and also has the Architecture knowledge skill. So, maybe someone can call on her for an idea on where to look for a suitable location that won't fall down? She could even perform some structural repairs with her Shape Steel spell.

I suppose that brings up a question - what skill(s) might be used for knowing about a good place for a party like is being asked? Survival? Sprawl Life knowledge skill? Area Knowledge: Seattle knowledge skill? Something else?

Would interest knowledge street drugs be useful in this situation?

In any case, I was going to have Reyna’s contact mention it to her as a way to make rent. I’ll try to get a post out today.

Area Knowledge certainly. Street Knowledge less so. Safehouses or BTL dens might get you somewhere.

Reyna's contact would certainly bring it up.

If you don't already know, you can always go look around. Do you actually have something else to do?

Maybe I do. You don't know! lol

Also, I *THINK* the Shadowrun 4th Edition option in the dice roller works for 5th Ed as well?

It does, but there is one small difference that we would need to pay attention to. In 4th Edition a glitch happens when half or more dice come up as 1. In 5e, it's when more than half dice come up as 1, so it's actually a bit harder to glitch in 5e.

In that case it might be useful to use the " Record Each Die " feature.

Oop I was about to reply when I realized Screech only contacted Brannigan heh

No, he also said that Screech is kind of spamming out to anyone.

GM suggested having a contact contact characters if you need some way to get into the scene. Alternatively, Reyna could send Chop Chop a message if you wanted.

Nah I can work things, just didn't want to shove way in if the GM had a plan.

If Screech is spamming everyone, I guess I'll have Winter hear the message directly as well. Makes the most sense, unless one of you contacts her instead.
