    As promised, my next run for the Texas Hold’ Em survivors or their replacements.

    This one is a more social oriented, less existecial horror kind of run and will involve travel.
    So have your best SINs ready and your hottest coyotes.

    Planned starting date is sometime next week.

    How are we on space/time continuum? Can I have Rebecca play both or should I use some other runner?

    You know my question is the same!

    Though I’m hoping since you said “Texas Hold’Em survivors” we will be able to keep as much of the team together as possible.
    Team continuity makes for very good RP….

    Assuming you all survive Aria’s latest game, yeah, sure, definitely ๐Ÿ˜‰
    I have to look up the exact point in the timeline, but I plan to have it a few months after the events in FA

    I’d be happy to bring back Preston. He’s sitting around playing matrix games and drinking way too much soycaff; time for the boy to get out and socialize.

    Is my ALITA based cyborg going to be an issue? Iโ€™d like to give her a go but cyber scanners might need some talking past and sheโ€™s no face! Got other characters I could try but…

    Feel free to use her, it’s not illegal to replace most of your body ๐Ÿ˜€

    Cool, will try and get her finished form up in the characters section on OP. Need to formalize her background and contacts a bit and spend some more cash. I’ll use the SS prefix for now assuming that’s your working title?

    Let’s make it ShS ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Alright, according to the responses so far, I’m tayloring this gig for the four players who responded so far.

    Al
    Preston
    Javelin
    Becky

    The game starts in September 2078, roughly a month after the Yellowstone Calamity
    Recruitment and beginning of the story is Seattle

    @Jack_Spade: you mentioned Torrent recommending Lily, she doesnโ€™t actually have him as a fixer, would Feather be an appropriate sub or was there a reason for using Torrent?

    No, I just assumed it would be Torrent, since he is our usual freebie fixer ๐Ÿ˜€

    I’ll change the IC accordingly

    A shadowrun team without a spellcaster or summoner? This will be the first time I’ve seen that since, um, ever? I hope this isn’t making things too complicated for Jack (will definitely add some twists for the rest of us, might have to care about skills and gear that normally are not needed because of utility spells).

    Speaking of skills and gear and the like, I’ll get an updated version of Preston up on Obsidian Portal later today or tomorrow. Nothing major changes (he’s probably replacing his used cyber-arm with a better grade one, freeing up a bit of essence, but filling that hole may have to wait for more cash to come in. Other than that likely one or two qualities to help with Etiquette, may buy down a negative quality, some minor skills and knowledge investments, and I’ll do a run through his gear for things he should have now that he is home in Seattle)

    Well, I’d have hoped that Ichante makes another appearance, but all in all it probably won’t be too bad. In fact, the planned late game probably won’t suffer at all.

    I’m assuming that Becky is at the meet with us even if Gilga hasn’t posted her there yet specifically…?!? If not I can edit

    A PC version of Lily is up on OP now… I seem to have loads more cash than I know what to do with but I’ll ignore that for now. I have already spent a little of my accumulated karma but only on knowledge skills…

    I haven’t quite found her ‘voice’ in my head yet so she’ll probably fluctuate between giddy kid and professional merc until I get it right ๐Ÿ˜›

    @Aria I hate that ‘finding the voice’ stage; characters never feel like they fit right until I do.

    @Adamu oh good lord, it had to happen sooner or later, someone let Al get near an acting gig … I may need more popcorn!

    Do Gilga just announced on the other thread that he’s spending the next week focused on his kids (and power to him!).

    Of course we want Becky with us on this.

    Should we just assume she shows up and play on through?

    @Beta – I loved your post. Neat to hear all that detail on disguises!

    Anyway, of course Al will let you in if you brought beer and food!

    I’m holding off posting my departure from Orting until the next time Aria posts – last time I saw his character Lily, she was also living there, so it occurred to me she might need a ride up (providing a way for Al to find out she’s the fourth team member in the process).

    No idea if Aria is thinking that way, but one way or another I’ll post heading right after he next posts and I find out one way or the other.

    I figured something like that could be the case, so I cut off at knocking on the door.

    @adamu: if I donโ€™t get round to posting assume Lily is outside your door waiting for a lift ?
