AJ and Kid_Vid are street sams

Uh, actually, I'm a PhysAd.

[kv]

Does it say anywhere that street sams have to have cyber? I thought it was mostly that they lived by a code or something... although, honestly, physads are the magical equivalent of street sams, in any case.

No it doesn't say anywhere that they have to be cybered.  And yes Street Sams live by the code of the street.  I just had a discussion about that with Nike.  And yes in a sense Physads would be the magical equivalent of Street Sams.

Well the deadline is over so it looks like AJ, KV, and Curris are in.  Nike still hasn't taken the time to make a character, but she might do that later today and I'll let it slide.

I finished my run idea and talked it over with my uncle, who has minimal knowledge of Shadowrun...he loved the idea and helped me tweak this and that.  But after careful consideration, I realized (not tryin to be offensive) you guys would get geeked.  So I designed an entirely different one that could honestly be the easiest nuyen you'll ever make... I'll post all the details sometime Friday the 23rd and we shall begin.  I have never hosted a PBP game before so I don't remember if there is a "turn base" for conversation and such so unless it's combat, speak when you have something to say, tell me what you want to do whatever whatever.  But once we hit combat, please don't go out of turn.  I'm sure you all know, but I figured I'd post them anyway.  Cuz I wanted too, cuz I never hosted a PBP, and I want to feel special, and act like I got some power...so  

[Curris]

Hey, no offense taken. I, for one, am one of the rare breeds of runners who enjoys the concept of not being geeked for easy cred. . .

P.S. I take it Mercy missed the deadline?

[BornKrazi]

Mercy is an old chum of mine and I haven't heard from him since he originally posted he wanted to play.  The story idea is very short and has enough leway to allow for a runner to jump in at any time...but you guys will see when we get started...

[mercy]

sorry for the delay changed email and had to wait on new password

[mercy]

ok in the mail

[mercy]

I will be running starbuck a path of the magiacn mage

[BornKrazi]

This is gonna change everything...yet again...the original might be about right for you all.  I mean frag it, if you get geeked, you get geeked...sorry it's a part of life.  But I promise you this...you have the potential to make KRAZI nuyen.  I mean almost unbalancing nuyen, but you're gonna have to earn it!

[Nike Shox]

Hell ya, I cant wait to play....Well I have FINALLY decided what I am gonna be....I am a Gangsta Sniper.

[Curris]

So, you hold your rifle sideway with your hand above your head?

lol.

[BornKrazi]

Alright I had to ask Mercy to sit this one out for two reasons.  One he was late turning his character in, which I can easily let slide, but I had specifically designed this run for the runners I currently had.  So I hope everyone is alright with that.

So here's the list:

Patch (Kid_Vid) - Street Sam
Ark (Curris) - Decker/Mage
Starhiker (AJ) - Physad
Trinity (Nike) - Sniper

Being as your contacts are well diverse and it would take a couple days worth of posts to roleplay the four of you together for a meet, I'm gonna make life so much easier on myself.  By the powers vested in my by the creators of Shadowrun, I grant thee a free contact by the name of Fuzzy (Fixer).  He's a low life son of a slitch but he's always got the goods you need, and can move you stolen drek at the speed of light.  Not to mention he always knows somebody that needs something done and is willing to pay.  So he's worth knowing if you can plow through the pile of bulldrek that comes with him.

Well I have a few things to take care of today, but by this afternoon/early evening I should have the first bit of the run posted.  But I do have a few formalities to finish.  Like I had mentioned before I'm new at GMing a PBP, so have patience with me or a stray sniper bullet will explode your head.  Second, I don't really have an order in which you all should go, if you think we need that then we can go by the order I just posted, actually yes lets do that.  So until we hit combat the order of play is Patch, Ark, Starhiker, then Trinity.  Alright the only other question I have as a GM for a PBP is dice rolls.  So KV any suggestions on how I handle that?  Do I leave it up to you guys and hope you aren't lying, or do I do all the dice rolls with my nifty program?!  So other then that be ready to start tonight.  Goodluck you all, and I hope more importantly eveybody has fun.

everthing sounds good, around what time are we getting started?

[mercy]

dice rollling is usally left up to the players and they report thier rolls
its also a option for the gm to handle all rolls if they are so incklined

[kv]

For most games I've seen (far more D&D than Shadowrun,but still) the GM can either do a huge amount of work and roll all the dice, or he can just let the players roll for themselves.

Personally, I just use the diceroller program that I got at the same time as the NSRCG, and then cut and paste it in here, with successes highlighted. Sometimes my OCD makes me re-order the rolls so that they're in numerical order from highest to lowet. But not always.
