next game starting?
« on: January 31, 2006, 11:04:41 AM »
So, when will the next forum game be starting?

I'd also like to know whether to use the priority or point system for  character creation.

I'd bet priority, to be safe. That's the system Ruski usually uses, and either he or I will be running the new game. In fact, if you make a character, I'll run you through "Back to the Shack" which is the classic first run that any runner has to go through.

I let in any system. the stats of your PC are just secondary to the story anyways.

that being said, if you go 'point-buy' and make a munchkin; be prepared to face equally munchkin-like problems.

Min-Maxing is cool and all; and I'm all for letting the PC's play whatever they want. but I have no problem dropping a tank full of bug-spirits onto the PC who feels the need to have a body of 40, and wear more armor than the combined might of the UCAS and Azland armies.

So, do whatever you want; just be aware that the GM has a blank check on power points to match whatever you put up.

Well, you shouldn't have to worry too much about me playing a munchkin.  I'd rather play a well rounded character and give her a reason for why she's good in the particular area (i.e. Shade was picked on a lot growing up, so she spent a lot of time running and hiding from bullies.  When she started manifesting as a PhysAd, most of her powers went towards augmenting her ability to evade others).

Well, when would you like the new game to take place?

most people are happy with 'genericly unobtrusive shadowrun time.'

if you have a specific timeframe you'd like to see progress; I'd be more than happy to make it suit your individual needs.

*shrug* either way. Kid's about to pick up a new job. so I don't know if he's going to have as much time to run it as he does at this point...

Ok.  I was just asking.  I also write fanfiction, so I sometimes get hung up on details like that.  I'm working out a background to try and figure out how she picked up her skills and why she's running the shadows.

Just sort of a quirk I have.  Unless I'm running a pre-generated character, I like getting to know her.

I'll run it- apparently they want me so desperately that they're telling me that I can do homework, draw, or whatever, as long as I'm in the room to keep the kids from killing each other. ;D

  So, back to the shack, set before Bug City. (20...60ish? I don't remember the dates off the top of my head)

Bug City?
Early 2050's, IIRC.

OKay, let's say after Bug City fell, but before Deus.

So 2060s.

Is anyone else interested in getting in on this?

Do you mean before Deus capped the Arcology, or before Deus got out of the Arcology?? If you want pre-Deus manifestation, you are talking 2057-2059 ish, pre 3rd edition.
