Re: OOC Idle Chatter

I hope the time off gives you a chance to rest and recuperate.  We’re here when you are back in the mood to RP. I think we all hope it’s sooner rather than later because your posts bring life to our game, but take the time you need.

No worries from my perspective. Getting your head together and looking after your family in these trying times is the most important thing to do.

Hey there, sorry things have been wacky on my own part, parenthood has sorta eaten a lot of my time but I'm still working to get back into things.

Sweet!  Check out the start_festivities thread to learn a little bit about The Miscreants and pick it up from there!

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Updated the public game description and the Welcome to the Shadows thread with the text below.  Each of these bullets correspond to a plot line represented on the sprawl's doom bar.  Each run the PCs take part in will reveal details along one or more of these storylines.  Hope you like it!

...a rogue senior officer is consolidating his power and waiting for his opportunity to take control of the occupation army.

...a corporate war is brewing behind the scenes as two megacrops vie for the same lucrative security contract.

...smaller and less influential gangs covet the power and wealth of one particular yakuza clan.

...a secret cabal of magicians considers making a deal with a particularly nasty demon.

...under the oppression of occupiers and incompetence of elected officials, racial tension is reaching the boiling point.

...lost in a wild and feral part of the matrix, a new born struggles to survive while her father sends out his minions to find her.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Did some housekeeping:

(1) Rearranged the stuff for new players and RTJ information into the Welcome to the Shadows thread.

(2) Put the doom bar, sprawl dynamics (perils and crisis) along with a summary of plotlines together under The Sprawl thread.

(3) Took all the mechanics stuff that we've worked through so far and made an OOC Mechanics thread.  Feel free to ue this thread for discussion of PbtA mechanics and house rules.

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Mr. Johnson:
(9) DisOrder street gang (turf: abandoned Children's Fairyland amusment park, Oakland)

I thought that I might take this option and post about them in a war with another gang of my own invention - does that sound ok?

Sure. There are tons of low level street gangs in the D-zone.

Thanks.



Grendel - did Pearlman get Grendel his new shotgun yet? If he hasn't and you'd like something bigger than your sawn-off then Kord can lend you one but if you'd rather stick with the sawn-off then please say.

In reply to Kord (msg # 166):

At 100m everything Kord is packing in that duffel bag has the same range limitation as Grendel’s hand cannon (except of course the AK which works like a champ at this range).

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Ok guys, we have a lot of options on the table. Are we looking to get our BANG BANG! on or do we want to give a go at run and gun?

Hey everyone, please welcome Venom to the game.  He will be joining the matrix based storyline with Splinter once we work through a short Prelude.

Just in case you’re waiting for me to chime in, I thought your preferred option was run and gun... my only questions were:

- is Hellfire driving to give you better shots for Kord and Grendel or focussing in dodging go-gang bullets?
- do you shoot first, give them a warning shot or try to stare them down?
- will you pick a side and selectively target Ronin riders or Razor Wires riders?

Re: OOC Idle Chatter

Yea I was good with either option. I did not want to make an executive decision that would effect everyone else. Only Kord has chimed in and he is thinking the same lines as me.  So I am going to write a post soonish to reflect that we are going to take the "Stay Frosty" option as we make like a tree and leaf.
