[OOC] The Pub

OOC discussions and announcements go here.
If you plan to do a run related to your character's backstory, we can also discuss it here.
If you plan to go on an in character pub crawl. Well, sure, we can discuss those stuff also here.


Re: Time, the Chronolords, Dying and Sidestories

The game's setting: January 2, 2076
That's the main timeline we'll use.
Time runs fluid so stuff you do in the past will affect the future. We'll let the chronolords handle the time conflicts.
This means: You can have a side story set on the future or past(flash back) but know that whatever happens in the past will have consequences on the future.

If you die in the past and you are in a future narrative, the chronolords will 'fix' it so that you die in the future too.
(You can't post anymore if you're dead hehe but I'll fix the plot the best way possible. Let's discuss that when that shit does happen hehehe)

Boom, here's cheat sheet for SR5e Combat.

No, you don not have to memorize this haha. But you can check for quick reference.

Updates:
Kore and Katzenjammer are approved and are on Jasper's syndicate
PsionicHamster is not replying but I guess we can start on the Jasper run soon, don't wanna make you wait too long
I'll use a character to aid Jasper group for a while, and if PsionicHamster's back on I'll just make my character leave hehe.

Oh, feel free to make rolls anytime just don't roll a lot at the same time haha. Like make 7 skill checks on a single post, woah dude chill haha.

Updates:
Kore and Katzenjammer are approved. You can post on Jasper I already.
I don't know if PsionicHamster will still join.
If you want to do a sidestory thing, feel free to post on Sidestories sub forum (Don't forget to add the time stamp of when this sidestory happened or will happen).
Rapture is a real place and I hate that place lol.

As for Max group, I'll wait for Diwa's post before we proceed :)

I'll get a post in later tonight (its like 2pm here for reference as I post this). I just got off work and people were setting off fireworks all night so I didn't get much sleep.

In short, I need a nap.

For Maya's group, I'll wait for another character before we start your run.
For the others, sorry for some delays. I'll get to it as soon as I can. (Got some stuff to do today plus I have to deal with this migraine I'm having)

Newb question! What does being Intimidated do, mechanically? I can't find it in the book. Is it just a narrative thing?

Okay my post I think covered it -- and you are not being Intimidated (unless I got that wrong) but Magic Manipulation (Compelled) so that is a (Logic + Willpower) test to resist doing what you were just told to do.

Still here are the details about Intimidation since that was your question its kind of similar except the Compel is a bit more ridged in its results -- you still get to interpret the meaning of the command ;) but you are not frightened either

Ah, to clarify, I have a separate effect in a note. Diwa is intimidated, but I have no idea what that means. I'm going to assume it means that I either have to pass two checks to resist answering him, or it's just a narrative effect. Either way she'll go ahead and tell him. Not like he wouldn't be able to tell himself anyway, just like she could tell he's a magic user before he used magic.

Btw to save me from having to ask the GM -- was that a special ability of Diwa's or just the fact that she uses magic that she noticed that?

Oh and yeah if you were Intimidated then you have to resist using (Charisma + Willpower) while the spell would be (Logic + Willpower) so not only 2 tests but 2 different tests ;) or just forgo the tests and just spill the beans --- personally I would make the tests so you have an idea of just how affected your character is as that helps outline ones post to some degree (or at least it does for me)

Well I only barely avoided a critical glitch on the compulsion so I'm spilling it either way xD
I think it's just cus she's a Shaman. Might have to do with Tradition? Diwa's a Bear Shaman. Murri is a magic-user as well, right? What tradition?

Eclectic Tradition ;) -- also known as Chaos Magic Tradition -- so he is actually sort of made up of several Traditions as this traditions borrows what works from other Traditions -- but no Shamanism close but not quite ;)

Okay was just checking as I was assuming it might be just the magic thingy as such I was assuming Murri noticed that as well just wanted to be sure was all.

I'd check with ken before assuming that, cus there might just be something I'm not actually aware of. There's a lot about shadowrun I don't know yet, after all.

Well I am hoping kenesperanza is following our discussion here ;) and will say -- nope that is not the case -- if my assumption on that is incorrect

That being said I am guessing it is not an incorrect assumption as there are not many things that I am not at least familiar with in Shadowrun and I figured it was just a minor oversight -- lots of pieces the GM has to be all over and its hard to keep all of them in the forefront of ones mind -- as for me as I have been the GM of Shadowrun before and you kind of get immersed fast when players start throwing the guidelines at you from all different angles. ;) Now granted I will concede that not every GM runs the game the same way so there is that caveat as well.

@TheEzzran I'll explain the answer IC later (Assuming I'm still alive after driving lessons XD )

---

Armitage left the game :(
I'll start the Maya Group run later for ed... and LightOfMidnight

Heheheh, yeah. Neither Murri nor Carter have given their names so for now they're "Broke" and "slight problem" respectively. Those names might stick, but Carter's new name is too long so he might just get abbreviated to "Problem." She's a bit of a smartass like that.

I guess discretion isn't a good thing for Carter. He is too busy trying to figure out this guy.

Just don't get us killed in the process -- for while you never, ever, want to cut a deal with a dragon -- you definitely never ever ever ever and most assuredly do not want to piss one off

Replies will be late cause of irl stuff. Need to help my boyfriend with something. Might get some posts done by Thursday.
