Ingo, I have to say, I love the 'WHAM!!¡¡!!111!!!' you put in there. I don't know that I've heard many sound effects that would cover slamming into a locked door face-first during a dive, but the 1s and ¡s really made me laugh. Kudos to you.

Haha thanks.  In a digital age I figured there should be digital sound effects

The upside down exclamation marks are actual upside down marks and not lowercase I's.  It's not apparent in this font, but in other fonts they would dip below the text base line. 

The ALT code is ALT 0161
Another good one for SR is ALT 0165 which is ¥

I know them- you use them in spanish at the beginning of a sentence containing an exclaimation.

íQue Diablo! and the like.

I was just amused, because I imagined, in his head, the exclamation marks spinning and landing upside down, as well as the 1s indicative of fast typing.

Don't worry, Bull, Back to the Shack is consequence-free, and it doesn't matter if you get hurt or die- it's for testing your character and adjusting it for unforeseen flaws.

normal protocal for table-top shack-dom is to let the first dead PC to uave his pick of NPG mooks to run as his own. in this instance though, I don't think there's much left to jump into. you could be the evil hacker befor i shoot him in the meat four times in a row.

[Ingo Monk]

Aww it's over, and the only "combat" roll I made was dodge haha!

[kv]

Yeah, you're going to need to step it up for the secondary scenario- try out your guys (you should have them on you, this time), or at least try hacking commlinks and stuff.

Zone, are you still around?

Hi Didly Ho, friends & neighbors! I've finally stopped, as KV put it "hiding behind the trees." Also known as finally got registered. I'll be posting my character soon. Yippie!

[Ruski]

welcome to the club/pub! Know that I will always have a place in my group for a bullet sponge. :-)
feel free to read over the current PC sheets, and see what skills were needed to survive a trip to the shack: learn from other people's mistakes, and you can avoid some of your own! :-)
I heard rumor that you are rolling up a gun-bunny / ex S.W.A.T. / olympian pistol shooter type. may I request lots of chrome, a megaphone, and the name: 'ensign redshirt'? ;-)
or, you know: something survivable is cool too. I'm good witg whatever.

Hey Everyone,

BS is my real-life buddy Gary, welcome him kindly to the Pub.

He has a character, we have a little time to make some tweaks to existing characters (like maybe a pistol someone forgot to buy, or armor), and then we'll run the secondary scenario. It'll be fun.

I would like to re-emphasize at this point that these scenarios are risk-free. While it's fun to stay alive and hide inside an upside-down box with two holes poked in it, it's much more useful to use your best attack(s), make sure they work like you wanted them to, and catch any errors on your character sheet.

Bull, if you wanted to edit your previous sheet or post a new one, I'm okay with it either way, just let me know which one suits your fancy.

Zone, you still around? It won't hurt my feelings if you're not comfortable with the rules or want a little firmer hand when it comes to GMing-stuff. I know you're new to 4th edition, so if you want me to lay out your character options when it comes to your turn, I'd be happy to do that.

Ingo, any changes you wanted to make at this point? Limited time offer, before we start the second scene?

I think that covers it, we'll start the second scene soon, and then off to the Denver Missions!

No changes for me yet.  I like the character concept, but I didn't get to test out the things I wanted to since I was too "in character"

If the next go around is risk free I'll be sure to try those things out but try to maintain the "spirit" of the concept.  Though if you think about it, everything went down in 2-3 combat turns... which is all of 6-9 seconds.  In that small moment in time (4?) people died.  Scary!

For Back to the Shack, I wanted to run it as-written, so if anyone wanted to look at the book and figure out what the hell I was doing, they could.

When I make up my own scenarios, they tend to be more... balanced.

Anyone ever heard of Club Nefertiti?

  -kv

[Ruski]

More than that I think. Had the employee killed by the blast, the dwarf chick critically wounded, four gangers, and one PC.
That's 6.5 at least. *shrug* anyways, I'll agree that it's a violent universe.
That being said; I liked how my PC worked, and I'm enjoying the general 'feel' of this persona. I'll be keeping him 'as-is' for the next run, although as with all jumped-up-reflex PC's, they do tend to steal the show combat wise. I'll try to keep with the Aim*Aim*Fire*Relocate routine to keep some bad-guys alive for the rest of ya' stuck in regular time. 

and yes, I know Club Nefertiti, although the one I'm familiar with was in Seattle. I'm assuming the Denver equivalent is similar?
-Ruski

[kv]

It's in an abandoned mall in the Aurora Warrens, and it's somewhat similar- although no one knows why it's called Club Nefertiti- apparently it was named after some big deal in Seattle?

I think I helped blow up that club in my Shadowrun 4.0 game I was playing in.  I did not blow it up mind you I was actually walking out of the club because one of my fellow 'runners' was picking a fight with the bouncers.  Anyway roof got blown off he got squished I just shrugged started handing out my card and treating the injured (any treated got a bill instead of a card).  Got  a nice haul of body parts and cyberware. (found my friend's body claimed the corpse).  That the type of guy Doc was.

I like my character rp wise but think I need to tweek the build a bit. 

[kv]

My apologies, I didn't get a chance to get online last night. We had what we in the PCC call a 'haboob;'



And between the rain and wind, my back was in knots. So I played Syndicate with my brother instead. I highly recommend that game.

Anyway, I have date night tonight, but I have a scenario figured out, and I'll get some maps and stuff, and should be ready to go by Friday. I hashed out the details with Ruski, and I think we have a good scenario that will give non-Sylvester characters a chance to shine.

That being said, I need you to figure out which section of Denver your character is living in. Your choices are UCAS, CAS, Sioux, and PCC. If there's another one I'm forgetting, feel free to mention it. I need to figure this out to figure out what border crossings you'll need to deal with to get there (a common occurrence in 'the Treaty City' of Denver).

Gary/BS, if you could post some of your character background (at least, what you would want the other players to know about you), and update your character sheet, I would appreciate it.

Bull, if you could get your revised sheet up by Friday, I would appreciate that, too, although there's a little wiggle room between when we start and when you'll definitely need to have it done by.

I'm going to assume that Zone is bowing out unless we hear otherwise from her.

New sheet is up.  I came to a realization while I was doing the character that I tried doing something I shouldn't in Shadowrun.  I tried to build against the grain of my initial concept.  We saw how well that worked because it really backfired on me.  So while I intend on still roleplaying a reluctant spellcaster who hates his gift.  I am no longer going to suck at using it.  Kid pretty much smacked me upside the head (metaphorically) with his use of foci.  In that sense I was still going off 3rd edition where purchasing a foci was a massive headache.  So I have alleviated that with a few Foci.  Nothing too powerful (or outside restrictions) and actually useful.  I found one spell it made me giggle so I took though I don't see myself using it often.  It pretty much a, "Hey look a distraction while we run for our lives.", cause it isn't exactly subtle.  So hopefully Kinsey will be more useful than a simple bullet magnet.  <Stands behind the new guy.>  I think I will be from CAS, I am always from UCAS or the PCC in other games.
