Ok, next silly question…how do I then get it to show up in the Rooms link?? Or is that something you need to do?
-
From the Stormy Waters page: The forum ‘2075: Stormy Waters’ is closed to new topics and replies. I’ve seen the New Forum bit but it won’t let me put it under Stormy Waters 😛

Each thread has a post count which is a link to a pop up that lists who has posted in that thread… it’s why I initially based 2075 rewards on post count as it was easy to calculate!
Although having looked at my profile the data may be there!
-
Oh, and can you get it to report how many posts an individual has made in a thread (like DS does)?
-
Hmmm…can’t see an obvious way of creating a new room / topic??
-
Would it be possible to migrate a DS IC thread over here? Not copy it wholesale but continue where we left off? Can we make new ‘rooms’ to accommodate different IC threads, and is there a limit to how much we can store here?

Apologies for not replying on the BC issue, I meant to and then got distracted reading the FA goodies!
Two options for dealing with the Fifth Age, mana levels etc…mechanically they are nearly both the same, thematically slightly different…not sure which one I want to use, happy to listen to your opinions on the matter!
Option 1: The ritual of change you underwent at the end of the Fourth Age basically turned you in to very long lived humans until the mana levels rose sufficiently to reawaken your full potential. So your powers are there but limited by BC as normal and mundane abilities aren’t affected.
Option 2: You keep all your powers and weaknesses but can become acclimated (over time, lots and lots of time) to mana ebbs such that your mundane skills can be used without BC interfering with them. Mana obviously is still impacted as per normal rules.
Not sure if it’s specifically stated in the rules (it probably is), but if BC exceeds your magic rating your powers go dormant and can’t be used. Weaknesses, like sunlight allergies, don’t go away.

OK, briefly gone through what you’ve stuck up on OP and have a few minor comments:
Jack/Vin: ok, no real comments on your character yet although I will need to rely on you for what all those martial arts stuff do as I never manage to retain that info…and following FA I guess you may be having a rethink anyway?!
Mercy/Sian: no sneaking or gymnastics, or tracking? With karmagen it’s worth investing a couple of points in the useful skills! Probably going to have focus addiction! We will need to establish what happens to you in the low magic eras…do you lose powers and weaknesses? Or just the powers <evil grin>
Ennui/Mazzika: Social skills lacking! See above. Do you need the ally spirit ritual? A decker that can’t search the matrix? Or does it badly at least? Don’t forget decking and rigging can’t be simultaneous (although I guess you could buy a high end agent to do matrix stuff)…and asthma? Have fun if we play in the industrial revolution!!!
Beta/Jack (now that could get confusing): no rush, Obi hasn’t done a character yet and neither has Mr J!

If anyone fancies a bit of data entry and wants to put some of the Forbidden Arcana stuff in to my excel generator please let me know! It’s worth bonus karma as Adam and Jack will attest to 🙂
Let me know which bit you’d like to do, download the latest version (<<CG5.17>>) and highlight any cells you change so I can copy it back in to the master…think that we agreed last time that every 30 mins counts as an IC post, so an hour gets you a point of karma and 2000 nuyen, it’ll be on trust, I don’t intend to clock your hours 😀

But no new adept powers 🙁
-
You may all want to check out the advanced magic book that has just been released on PDF…!?
-
Drugs??!!, you want to spend eternity addicted to something for a small ability boost? That will really fuck you up! You probably need to stop thinking like short term shadowrunners for this one 😀
-
That’s the price of diluting your soul with ware!
-
Can cope with that, probably, they can always be Gollums in the 4th Age… not sure what they’d be in Nazi Germany mind but we’ll cross that bridge…

@Ennui: I’m a little cautious about a more or less unlimited supply of funds and the dangers of a drone army, particularly with the rather broken swarm rules taken in to account. Not only does that make encounters a little harder to challenge you on (and that will be hard enough!) but makes the conversion to the past a little trickier. I’m not saying don’t do it, just be aware of the pitfalls please!
@Beta: It might make for some interesting confrontations if one of you has Lofwyr as a patron and another Hestaby! But conflict between immortals isn’t usually a slug fest and you are just as likely to work with a foe as a friend if it serves one of your long term goals…taking the long view is definitely in order.
I’m vaguely planning for you to initially be ‘on a mission’ for one of the Choir’s goals (See MirrorDance over on SG for the reference) rather than a patron…they are foes of the Seers Guild, but you could even have them as a patron provided you are keen on a bit of machination 😀

Play
Although you will be playing considerably more powerful entities by the standards of typical SR, bear in mind that you are still at the bottom of the rungs of the Immortal ladder and you will definitely be working for your respective masters, much like your average runner but with very different rewards.
There is very little chance that you have survived this long without coming to the attention of one of the other immortals and being brought in to the fold. Who you serve is down to you in principal but I may need to nudge you towards or away from certain patrons so that there is at least some chance of you working together towards a common goal.
Character Gen Additions
2000 karmagen or Sum10+1100 karma (subject to review)
Mysads can only buy 6 adept power points at 5 karma per point, after that you need to initiate as normal to gain further powers.
