Haha!

20:34, Today: Mr. Johnson rolled 294 using 3d100 ((97,100,97)).
294 nuyen

Jackpot indeed.

PocSec updated

Ok... so...

In Orkland:
Kord has messaged to say he is coming back, but a bit busy IRL for now.

Hellfire might get picked up by a new player soon.

Acme is still an orphan but I could keep the finger wigglin’ out of the bodyguard run and get that thread moving again.

In SanFran
Laurie is still an orphan. Eventually, she could be re-written as an adept or a street mage to join Bailey for what should prove to be a magic-focussed storyline.  So could Acme for that matter.  The hyper controlled perfectionist adept along with a freewheeling Coyote shaman or gutter punk street mage would be an interesting combo.  Either way, I’ll need another new player or I’ll have to take over running one of them for a bit.

In OAK RTG
Venom is getting established and Splinter is closing out the run in Neon Dream’s system. We should be able to bring these two together soon.

Thanks to all of you for making this restart a success so far! I really enjoy GMing for you!!

Thank you for running! I'm super enjoying the prelude so far and looking forward toward more.

Absolutely- thank you!

Seriously, a real pleasure to play in your game.

Top shelf RP right here!

Which is why I have joined!

The new Hellfire here. The original character was very complete and very little needed to change except for some personal flavour.

Looking forward to eventually catching up in game!

Ahhh shucks... you guys are too kind!

Welcome Hellfire! Looking forward to you joining the crew!

If you're interested in a bonus XP this month, go to Shadowlands // BayPlex (link to a message in this game) and start a rumor (about anything...maybe it becomes part of The Sprawl, maybe it's just noise).

Yiiiiiiiiiiis more boat

Yes!

Got the message in  Mayhem and Mistletoe, going to take some time to read through the thread and see where things are at but will likely have a post up today.

In reply to Hellfire (msg # 237):

No worries!

Hey gang... Laurie is back (sort of).  I'll be running her as a PC to join Bailey in San Fran.

Nice!

A troll bouncer who everyone calls ‘Tiny’ is classic ShadowRun trope. Is it even a d-zone dive bar if you don’t have a troll bouncer called ‘Tiny’?

I stand by my (admittedly half-hearted) creative decision!

Well if Grendel ever was in need of a job there's an idea for him.

Tiny-er maybe?

Oh no, Tiny was fully appreciated!

It would be the same for a Scottish Dwarf or any of the other well worn in tropes.

Hence why Grendel didn't say anything, he's well aware that their size is pretty much their defining feature in the eyes of the world.

I have always envisioned the social media posts from StreetKnowledge in BayPlexBeat as being made by a Scottish Dwarf!!

Too funny...

I think stereotypes can be really fun to play with.

In the case of Scottish Dwarves I would like to think that those living in Scotland that suddenly found themselves Dwarves would be among the first to truly embrace their new identities.

By the same notion I can easily picture the Dwarf office worker staring into a mirror in the company bathroom while he pops another handful of pills because if one more co-worker tries a really bad Scottish accent at the Company holiday party he is just going to Go. Off.

I really like the BayPlex chatter by the way!

I may end up stealing the concept if you don't mind in some future project. I think it's a great way to build lore and to give the players a little buy in into the setting.

Thanks!  And I hope you do use the idea for one of your other games!

I used Action News 104 in a previous SR game on RPOL and the PCs started to post comments to the news stories in OOC... that’s what gave me the idea to have a social media thread to put some depth into the setting and for the PCs to comment.

@Bailey RealMedicalNews! Is my new fave shitposter on BayPlexBeat... nicely done

I do what I can.

Added to OOC Mechanics:

Friend (NPC): an NPC aiding a PC rolls 2D6 to Make it Rain.
- On 10+ the PC roll is boosted
- On 7-9 the PC takes +1 forward
- On 6 or less, the NPC is no help at all

Hey all. Mr. J was awesome enough to allow me back into the game. I am the original Hellfire (love where you took them by the way, "The Secret" if you kept it, is safe with me :0) ) playing my boy Acme.
