[OOC] General Discussion

I'm procrastinating on reading Sixth World properly so I can see if I can get the same feel with the character, but I should be able to finish this weekend. One potential Shadowrun game is enough for me :P

Sixth world draft for Hotaru in the (overwritten) character sheet

Since Bedzone's letting us tweak stuff, You could recreate the spells you had using the Spellcrafting rules on page 65. If you want, I could help with that.

I think the only tweak I'm going to do to mine is to give her mystic armor (armor 1, concealable). I'll do without the other stuff.

okay trying to get to the redesign but have not had much time since the game shift will try to get on it asap though it takes precedence after the RL stuff ;)

gooddy

BedzoneII first and foremost are we creating new characters restricted to a basic new character but as similar to our old characters as possible using the new system -- or are we just converting the old characters to the new system and we are not worried about the restrictions given to a new creation in the new system -- I ask because I find that creating a new similar but restricted character in the new system would be a major reduction from what the old character was.

That aside I have noted some major differences and want to understand what you are okay with.

1) The standard spell-caster (be it Mage or Shaman) in Shadowrun does both Sorcery and Summoning -- in the new system these features appear to be separated and you do either one or the other. Are we to combine these conceptually aspects together to reflect what exists in Shadowrun ... aka ignore this separation -- that was my inclination but want to check

1b) If we are melding these 2 Archetypes what would the final Archetype look like or is that just an unnecessary dive to deep into detail since we are converting what was into what will be and not creating a character restricted to a basic new character in this new system?

2) The standard spell-caster can summon any type of spirit that they dynamically choose on the fly but in the new system you must initially pick 3 spirits that you can summon -- now while I can see using a more limited list than carte-blanche I feel just 3 seems like an extreme reduction -- are you going to be using the carte-blanche or some other number of spirits that we can initially summon?

2b) Is there a mechanic - did not see it yet in the new system for increasing the number of different spirits you can know how to summon?

3) Are we allowed to recreate the spells we knew doing our best to pull from the meager examples that currently exist in the Revised information -- or can we go to the Powered by Apocalypse Dungeon World to find more examples to pull from in recreating these spells

4) Lastly in doing this conversion should I assume anything not already created within the Revised guidelines we are to outline in detail and present to you for final approval?

A few questions...
-Will we use fixed or rolled damage ?

-Can I modify the Ares Predator V [range s/m, dmg 4/1d8+1, sa, AP 1, ammo 3]?

Ruger Super Warhawk [range s/m, dmg 4/1d8+1, sa, AP 2, ammo 2], used in a pair it becomes Paired Ruger Super Warhawk [range s/m, dmg 4/1d8+1, sa/bf, AP 2, ammo 4]

Personally, I like fixed damage for NPCs and variable for PCs. Little less swing, but not too predictable.

,Lol, you're right Bedzone !!
In my defense, I didn't read any character threads except for TheVagrant's. I wanted to meet the characters before reading their posts...

Hello all. Glad to be here. I'm going to start putting together a character. Elf Street Doc. I saw the discussion in the Game Tavern. I am glad to say I am looking at version 26 if that's still the right one. If not let me know.

cash roll...3d6x400

OK, Gon Arai, aka. m0th3r bl155, the elf street doc is done and just waiting approval.

Help! Where do I find v26? I found the neocities website and v32 on google docs, but Im striking out finding the one were using.
