Slot in and stay a spell choomba! What's on yer cortex?

Ay-o, Choom! Any one know how to chop this credchip I klepped from a couple a gonk beaves? I ain't a techie myself, chipping in with the first indies I see.

Now THAT'S some in-world slang!

Better read up or get zeroed choomba

Null sweat chummer

A few points of order:

I'm going to play this truer to William Gibson's original vision of Night City; in CPRed they put Night City in an unincorporated west coast North America (much like Shadowrun with the California Free State) but in the original book Night City was between Tokyo and Chiba in Neo Japan. This is where our game will be set (Japan). Also about 20 years after the core rules book timeline (so 2065 present day).

With Tokyo being Arasaka's home city they will control the police force in Tokyo with privatized cops outside. Regulation will be TIGHT and Japan being how it is all guns and body armor will be HEAVILY policed. As a result most common street violence is with knives and such.

You won't be able to walk around with an AK on your back and a hidden pistol will be a big risk with the level of tech scanners cops have.

Body armor above kevlar clothes will also be bustable

This puts the stakes back into a world of superhumans ;)

Nezzeraj has graciously created a custom sheet for our game, just go to the sheet thread, click the spoiler box and click create character! You can edit boxes directly by clicking on them.

Thanks so much for all your efforts Nezzeraj, a lot of work went into that and it is most appreciated!

Happy to help! I learned a lot working on it so it was very rewarding, but hearing praise also helps haha

So does everyone think they might be ready to start tomorrow or do we need one more day?

I should be good. I'll get my character done and submitted tonight.

I’ll be able to play. My character is done, I just need to transfer to the new sheet.

Rob you gotta be the only guy on this whole site who used his real picture for his avatar XD

Bravo sir.

When you look like this you don’t hide that shit behind some anime character, choomba.

Ok character submitted. He's 90% done, just need to pick his programs and a few other minor details.

It's showing NaN for Not a Number. Somewhere in the calculation you are putting a symbol of letter instead of only numbers. Your sheet isn't public so I can't see for sure what the problem is.

Just waiting on the last character to be submitted...

Also you still need that Neuro link and interface plugs Nezz

Sorry Wednesday is my busiest day and I usually feel like week-old roadkill by the time I get home. Added the recommended cyberware and replaced the gun. I should be all set now.

Things you’d know about Zeta from being in a crew for the past 6mos:
She is hot, and I don’t mean just her body. She’s a quick-tempered, scathing wit, angry bitch. She’s hella good at the job, whatever it is. She consults with Trauma Team on occasion but lost her official position with them (details she never shared).
Her love is adrenaline; the natural or enhanced ways. She would run off with the Braindance circus and concoct designer drugs if she could just get free from Vikktor. His hold on her is also something she never talks about.

That's a good idea, everyone could just kind of post their characters temperament right here in the occ reflecting your time spent together.

Also I'm going to put up a world building thread in a couple hours just to give you an update on the cyberpunk timeline between 2045 which is when the core rule book takes place and 2065 which is when we are playing. Mostly just the resurgence of corporations and whatnot.

Awesome, thanks Nezz.

So as it turns out my story arc isn't really motivated by timeline so just to keep things simple I'm gonna leave the game set in 2045 as per the core rulebook. Twenty years after the fourth Corp war, radiation still affecting Seattle from the nuke set off by Arasaka against Militech, old NET a death zone of black ICE and rogue AI, local city networks are the norm.

Only thing I'm changing is the location of Night City (and conversely the location of the nuclear attack twenty years ago.)

Nezz we started a Discord channel to talk about game strategy if you're interested

Cyberpunk Discord

So on review it looks like initiative is handled the usual way, only rolled once at the start of combat. Since things are slow in PbP as is I think we'll just keep it simple and go this way unless anyone really really wants to roll each round

Jesus Christ Darkstar8! ,🤣🤣🤣

Lolol. I’m thinking everyone has a screw loose in the future…. Like they do now 😝

So let's be sure to identify when we are talking through comms so the idiot GM (me) doesn't accidentally mistake it for yelling something across the room. Lol, Consummate_Monster informed me they meant to make their last remark quietly through the earpiece but I read it as shouting out loud.

Going forward let's just use the [COMMS] tag before text that is spoken through the earpieces.

Barney the dinosaur walks into the birthday party. He sees the birthday girl near the cake and raises a purple finger to his ear,

[COMMS]"Take the shot..."

Lol sounds good. I usually use this fancy formatting for comms.

Yeah Consummate_Monster was using a different formatting for comms too, we can do that instead if you guys would rather but everyone gotta agree on the specific format. I've personally been using that vdu format for all speech but I like the idea of only using it for comms...

can everyone agree to use fancy_vdu for comms only?

I’m ok either way

Looks like you went with the comms tag instead of the vdu formatting RSteele, is that your preference then?

I edited your post with the COMMS tag for you Nezzeraj as I assumed you weren't saying that out loud to the room full of people bidding on the deck...

Correct lol.

I'm gonna stick with RAW re: armor ablation for now but probably gonna house rule that any hit ablates armor, wether or not it penetrates, starting with the next mission. Makes more sense realistically and otherwise I have to lean on bigger and bigger weapons to even threaten you guys

Spent 140 IP on Evasion 7

Nice. Anyone else spending points or are we ready to move on?

Im good with moving on

Sounds like a quorum

Right on guys, I'll start the next chapter on Sunday.

I neglected to post that Jaws transfered your payment for the security contract just as he was lowering his shades and speeding off on his bike.

1500¥ apiece.

Oh well that's something. He's still an asshole though lol

Oh I changed my mind since he apparently gave us another job to do lol.

copy that

Sorry for the lag lately, surgery schedule has been off the charts, 10-hour days everyday. I think everyone is trying to use up their insurance before they're deductibles reset.

Sorry for the delay guys, wife got COVID on Xmas then of course I got it so been laid low for a few

Oof bad luck. Get well soon!

After this chapter closes we will have a new player join us, fresh meat for the grinder and whatnot ;)

Groovy.

What class?

Looks like he will play a nomad although executive was tossed around as well. He'll either take over for Carlisle as a member of his clan or become your new corpo benefactor.

Hi all!

Thanks for adding me! Looking forward for a good game with you!

Yes, I think I will settle with nomad - as this will be my first game in this system - I like the family(mafia? ;) )/clan theme of this class and upgrading our car will be fun also. Exec could be a little too much for my first character and probably would demand managing too many NPCs;) Also it seems to be hard to RP as it's corps that are very often the enemies of cyberpunks... But next time: I will gladly take the challange.

I will polish my character and upload his data to sheet here on GP in fallowing days, knowing that I still have some time until the chapter ends. Meanwhile I like reading your RPs and hope I will be the good fit for the group. As not being a native speaker and using all this slang - will also be quite a challenge for me:)

Welcome!

Glad to have a proper wheelman on board! Did you watch the cyberpunk anime? I think most of our slang came from the show but there are actually complete libraries of cyberpunk slang you can look up on Google lol.

Whatever clan you come up with the group's current nomad, Carlisle, will also have been from. He will be called away on clan business when you come in and introduce you to the team as his trusted replacement.

Trust me. I had concerns about this world, the lingo, and the mechanics. I’m researching and winging it. If it looks like we know what we’re doing, then the ruse has worked.
Welcome aboard.

Huge fan of both the original Ghost in the Shell and Stand Alone Complex, definitely cyberpunk in genre no doubt about it. Ground car is perfect and your sheet looks good to me, everyone else used a character generator through the CPR app so I'm sure yours is fine. It's not an overly complicated system. Carlisle's clan was never defined as he was just a means to an end (NPC with a car) so you have free reign to detail your clan as much or as little as you like.

One point of order regarding the CP anime is that it takes place a decade or two in the future from the point in time the RPG takes place. In the anime they have a lot of wireless and internet capability that aren't fully present in our timeframe. Our's also stays true to the original William Gibson book and places Night City in Japan. The mood is grittier and more film noir than the anime but I feel like it's still good to watch for the style and lingo.

You will be coming in at the end of the current scene which is playing out now.

Please use a different font when speaking through comms to differentiate between talking and radio. I like the 'fancy vdu' font but the other guys all have their own method. Instead of changing font you can also just use the tag 'comms' before the text.

e.g.

In comms:
"You guys see that up ahead?"

VDU just looks so Shadowrun-y know what I mean?

Hey welcome to the game! Paul’s done an awesome job so far so it’ll be nice to expand it out a bit.

Who is this Paul, stranger? Surely you don't mean the illustrious GM dominion451? In Project Mayhem we have no names.

1. Yeah. Ghost in the Shell and Stand Alone Complex was AMAZING - for my much younger self especially:) I liked the most some of those "single story episodes" with specific atmosphere. Some were "noir" in feel to me too:) I think there was one about boxing guy and Batou was the main character or something like that? It was one of the best for me. Will have to watch it again I think:)

2. About the PC sheet - there were some differences between the sheet here and one cyberpunk red - but I checked it with a book, and now I think it is all good:
- 45 HP (not 43) - as Neon has WILL 6 and BODY 7.
- Humanity: 36 as he has 5 base EMP and only Interface Plugs and Neural Link so far. What brings him to final of 3 EMP ? But CyberPunkRED site counted 29 for him, what was strange.
Are those correct?

3. Speaking of which: can I buy a cyber eye for Neon with the starting cash ? But it will bring him under 30, to 29 and leaving him with only 2 at EMP? Isn't 29 and especially 2 EMP a little to less?

4. The clan and exchanging Carlisle for Neon. As I have written in RP thread:Was anything established about the Carlisle or his clan already?

Thinking about it something more: I envisioned it as mafia-like structure with some kind of religious aspects. So "Father" could be equally read as Godfather of the clan or... a clan's priest that is higher at the structures...:) What do you think about those ideas - gang?

Also I think it is(or could be) interesting that this exchange happened... "right now". And why Neon would be sent by the head of the clan to join a group? Could it have some additional meaning or was just a way to make some money and power for the clan?

Interface plugs and neural link are each 7 humanity loss so I count 36 also.

You are welcome to buy a cybereye and yes 2 Emp is low but that's the world of the future, lots of chrome and very little humanity. You can always get therapy in-game to boost your humanity score...

I didn't write anything about Carlisle or his clan, never even gave it a thought so whatever you create is awesome. I like the mob aspect very much!

That closes the second chapter, I'll get the next one up ASAP...

Deleted this from RP thread and moved here:

So it wouldn't be logical to have Neon's car few streets from here... ;) Ok, no problem with that.

But: as I'm still learning this setting and would like to make his car more specific. Do you have any ideas/recomendation what model/kind/looks it could be? Or I should look something up in the Cyberpunk 2020 book?

I'll leave that up to you, any kind of up-armored sedan you want.

As there are 5 of us, we need something big. My choice:

Love it. Sick ride bro.

Lol... those ramen restaurant's hostesses... are soooo trust worthy:)
- "Please go in this cold, one exit room with worst tactical position possible. We call it "The trap" in here."
The team: "Yes, please!"

Of course I'm not criticizing, as I wouldn't have better ideas right now and would probably do the same. Just pointing out how funny it could look for some "bystanders":)

Cash is King baby

How our current car looks like? MAybe something like this:

Close enough ;)

I will be traveling to Nepal on the 12th of this month thru the 29th and will have spotty internet at best. I'll try to keep up on my downtime as best I can.

You go, bro

Have a wonderful trip!

Sounds awesome, have fun!

We are back choombas

Welcome back! How was the trip?

Thanks! It was amazing. Went from the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi to Base Camp at Mount Everest and back to Kathmandu to watch them burn the dead at the Temple of Shiva. Quite a ride my friend.

Hopefully no one you knew lol.

Funny, the corpses all looked like Mr. Brett...

Could be something like this:

:D
Or this:

Sorry guys, super busy week last week and then anniversary weekend. I'll get a post up today.

So because we have played through three chapters already and I have not yet handed out improvement points I'm going to give each of you 500 points to account for all three chapters plus an excellent role-playing bonus.

Noice!

Seems we've lost Pedrop. Post your upgrades here in the ooc and I'll start the next chapter after the weekend.

Nooo!
He was rad!

"I'm back!" :D
Had insane workload recently, but it should be better from now on:)

I'm sorry to say I will bow out here. I enjoyed the adventures and the system and I'm really glad to try it out. I'm currently at 14 games and I'm trying to cut it down to a manageable 10 or so as life has gotten busier. Thanks for the great intro to this game dominion and great characters everybody else. Hope to see you in future games!

Sad to loose you Nezz but I get it, I'm in game overload myself and it's affecting my post rate/quality. See ya round the yard buddy.

Pedrop, glad you're still with us!

So that brings the question, do we recruit a new netrunner or does someone want to build a new character?

My improvements:
- taking new rank of 5 in Neon's Role Ability Moto - 300 IP, - I will decide if I get better new car or upgrade the existing one, once I will get to know what will be our next job/destination. Ok?
- increasing Human Perception to new lvl of 3 -> 120 IP, - Neon likes to read people! and know their intentions:)
- Business to 1 -> 20 IP - getting up in the nomads' ranks... makes Neon thinking about becoming a head of the chapter someday... and prophesies for "his" people to true salvation... ;) so having skills and knowledge about managing such undertakings - will be useful.
- Forgery to 1 -> 20 IP - being a member of somehow rebel group... you have to know the ways to "deal with government officials"...
- Conceal/Reveal Object to 1 -> 20 IP - the same as above.

Sum: 480 IP, 20 IP left. Is it all ok?
I can relate very good with that. It's the reason that some time ago I took a decision to limit myself to only 3 active games on all platforms, a time. No way to have time for more:) Sometimes painful... but allows me to focus on the best ones:)

About netrunner: sorry, I'm happy with Neon, and netrunner have this additional "layer" that I don't have time to learn right now. Although it is very interesting class.

Improvements look good to me, I'll check the math when I get home but I think you're set.

Cowleyc will be joining us as our new netrunner!

Hey everyone! Excited to be here. I've gamed with some of you before, and see some new faces! As Dom-Domdomdom said, I'll be joining as a Netrunner! Meike "Spacer" Govander, South African runner with ties to the Highrider Nation. And before you say to yourselves, "Hey, a netrunner who wants to go to space sounds familiar...", please know that I created this character before I saw the anime.

Is that the Dragnet sound bite??

Don't worry buddy, they went to space in Neuromancer too and that WAY pre-dates the anime ;)

Also just a reminder to all that this game is more in the Neuromancer world than the anime world... Night City is in Japan not California.

All right, I've submitted Spacer. I wasn't sure about the Bodyweight Suit and the Heavy Pistol, since I saw earlier that some gear was highly frowned upon.

No! Nezz! Gunna miss ya man! You were a great netrunmer!!!

Hey, welcome cowleyc! Lets go make shoo together

You did? I don't recall snubbing any gear... What was said?

Ahhhh yeah cops will bust you on visible weapons and armor for sure. A bodyweight suit is skin tight and easily hides under clothes so you could get away with that with some warm-ups over it. Definitely buy all the weapons you want just have a plan for concealment.

Ok, noted my improvements on my c sheet:)

Pedrop the car Carlisle gave you is meant to be whatever your upgrades ride is. Did you pick out your upgrades?

All right! I think Spacer is absolutely going to need therapy. Is she able to get Very Expensive therapy (4d6), or are we limited to Expensive (2d6)? Also, are we rolling for humanity loss on cyberware or going with averages?

Well Flesher is a med tech so let's try to let her sort you out before you pay for the online stuff. As for rolled or average I'll let you pick.

I think Brett and Sergei are still shopping, cowleyc did you want to see what upgrades the AI could perform for you? Also does anyone (other than Spacer) want to pay for online therapy to get humanity back? Once everyone says they're ready we can move the story forward.

I'd love to see some upgrades! I'm still figuring out Spacers chrome, and waiting to see if the therapy was a success.

Well Flesher could only succeed by rolling a ten on the dice and the money would be lost if she failed so it's probably better just to do online therapy and guarantee success.

Installing the AI in your deck would take two program slots and would act as anti-program Black ICE with stats: A6 D6 REZ30 P6 S6, doubles your access range to 30' and allows you to quickhack within that range as a Microwaver (enemy makes DC15 Cybertech check or frys two pieces of chrome/weapons).

Oh man, even with the therapy Spacer isn't doing so good at 16 humanity.

Might become our first cyber psycho!

Okay since it's Thursday now and some people are still shopping let's just say Monday we start the new chapter whether or not people are finished.

Alright, Brett'll do some psychotherapy and stuff have his balls cleeeaaaannn

Nice. Remember to RP being a little more in-balance with the world. Anyone with an Empathy of 2 or lower is experiencing some kind of dissociative disorder where you feel little connection with your humanity or the world around you.

After spending much more time on considerations - than I would like to... ;) - I decided to give my current car(Compact Ground Car, Chevillon Thrax) another upgrade:
Especially I'm keen of it having this cloaking feature - could be useful in some diversion or even observation operations and even fast exits from the site:)

Noting it on my sheet.

Ok, Neon will also go for some therapy and consultations with his clan's psychotherapist who happen to be a priest also... (preparing to install his cyber eye...) so subtracting 500eb and rolling 2d6....

5... just enough to hop to the next EMP level:D So going from 36-> 41 in Humanity and from 3-4 in EMP. Let's see if I can get a cyber eye know...

I would like to "add" Cybereye and Targeting Scope for Neon. Will that be ok. Average Humanity lost will be 10, just enough to get back to EMP of 3 and not lower and will cost Neon 600eb - all good?

"Father John... I now it maybe is not the best idea... especially just after the therapy... but I'm doing it for our Clan!"

Plus: I would like to buy also a "Homing Tracer" for Neon for 500eb. Would that be ok?

Last thing: are there drones in this game? Can Neon have one? Or you have to be a netrunner for that? I couldn't find anything about it with my recent brief look into the rules...:/

All good buddy. Chrome up ;)

Yes you can get the tracer too, any gear you want. I'll look up some drone options, I know there's a cyber dog in the Black Chrome expansion... Or are you looking for a quad-copter type deal?

*Ohhh the dog costs 5g

Thanks! For the drone: spider-like or cat-like would be perfect for now. Not getting too much attention to itself, good for infiltration work. And I think that Neon will get a cyber dog someday too, but maybe not this time... :)

So CPR really dropped the ball when it comes to drones! In the core book they are listed as active defenses for buildings only and require a Netrunner to take over and control. I think we can say a personal drone like a spider or quad-copter with a camera would cost 100eb and can be controlled with either a remote control or your Agent (smartphone) with no difficulty.

If you want features like infrared or ultraviolet vision or an onboard explosive charge the cost goes up to 500eb.

Also I just want to make sure that everyone has tracked their humanity gain/loss on their character sheets... It will become very important.

As of now it looks like Brett and Sergei both have humanity in the twenties while Spacer is in the teens. Brett and Sergei have borderline dissociative disorder while Spacer has full on dissociative disorder. Spacer should see herself as more of a thing than a person and see others as things as well. She is strongly exhibiting three of the following symptoms:

• Grandiose sense of self
• Need for stimulation
• Cunning and manipulative
• Lack of remorse or guilt
• Callousness/lack of empathy
• Poor behavioral controls
• Impulsivity
• Failure to accept responsibility
• Criminal versatility

Ok, noted cyber eye and its option on my sheet+deduction of 10 Humanity because of them. Also added tracer to my gear. And even subtracted eb for all of this:)
Great idea! So I would like a spider-like drone, controlled by my Agent but with detachable explosive charge - so it can leave it before detonating it... so not exploding itself with the process:) So can I have it for this 500eb? And I think we can assume that buy-ing a new charge for it will be around 300 eb?

Yes. My Humanity is up to date. It's currently 31 after therapy(went up) and then buying one cyber eye with option(and down... ;) ).

The explosive will be equivalent to a grenade and you can buy any type of grenade you want to replace the charge when dropped (incendiary, EMP, smoke, etc.)

Just back from a backpacking trip to see some posts moving us forward. I'll try to get something up first thing in the morning.

No rush!

I don't know if it is only me or there is no price and stats for ordinary grenade in the rule book - that simply explodes ? At least, after longer search I didn't found it.

Besides: Ok, so noting my spider-like drone on my sheet and deducting 500eb from Neon's account...:) I will think about how many editional charges I can want to by, when the above will be resolved.

I think the base grenade is just the AP grenade. It just explodes hard.

Yeah AP and incendiary grenades make up the "basic" assortment in the core rule book.

Don't forget custom gear can be bought from Techs... Fragmentation grenades, shape charges, grapple guns, signal jammers, etc...

By the way, I kind of forgot about the "reputation" score in this game but all of you are at reputation 4 right now except Spacer who is at reputation 1 and Prophet who is at reputation 2 (no offense, it's based on chapters played).

Reputation combines with your Cool stat and a d10 to utilize the "facedown" ability which is basically intimidation (in DND terms).

I updated my reputation score but the character sheet doesn’t have it coded to influence any Cool checks, so do I just add it manually?

Yeah, if you ever want to "facedown" an opponent or NPC rather than shoot them you roll 1d10+Cool+Reputation.

Just to be clear, most (if not all) of us are rappelling down to the train, right?

Pretty sure everyone is but I never wanna assume

Ha, have I played enough games with KCC that I'm inheriting his dice curse?!

But can someone direct me where in the core book is price and stats for this AP grenade? I really can't find it :( Did even text search through the rule book...

I think you have retroactively adjusted reputation(post) score for Prophet - so I adjusted it to 2 on character sheet:)

Yeah it's not well sorted in the book, ammo types are on page 345 and each type lists what kind of ammo it's good for between arrows, bullets, grenades, rockets, slugs and shotgun shells. The price listed is for either one grenade or a quantity of 10 rounds of ammunition.

The damage for all deadly grenades is listed with the grenade launcher weapon and is 6d6. Like I said it's badly sorted.

Most of us use the Cyberpunk Red Companion app on our phone which sorts these things out in a better format, it's a free app if you're interested.

The core book is a mess! I don't know who approved the layout, but they need a swift smack to the back of the head.

This ends up being the most common complaint about core books in general I find.

Camping from 7/13 - 7/16, won't be able to post unless I have some magic signal

Can PC in RED version of cyberpunk make multiple actions in one turn? I briefly checked the rule book, but didn't see such option.

Checked 2020 version and there is(p. 98):
"More then one action
You may perform more then one action act the penalty to each successive action".

Once I have watched a video by Seth Skorkowski about 2020 version and he told there it was really cool rules. As when PC are getting more and more chromed up, they get really high skill scores - so normally most "one action" things start to be very easy for them. But this rule allow to make them few things in one round and be very cool in meantime. Like running on the walls, while firing with gun in left gun to the one opponent and with a gun in the right to car tires and so on. That this rule made 2020 a really cool system that PC felt as real "enchanted" people that can do extraordinary things.

There is similar rule in D6 system - if you want to do more things in the same time (round) - you have penalty to all of them. I found it very elegant, but elastic and allowing to perform some cool RPs.

Is there something like this in Red version? What do you guys think about it?

Thanks - so buying 3 AP Arenades for Prophet for 100 eb each and nothing that grenade deployed by my spider-drone can make 6d6 damage.

Thanks! Installed the app, let's see how looking for things will go with it:)

Yeah 2020 had quite a bit more development in its ruleset and multiple actions (especially firing akimbo) is something I feel is missing from Red. Seems like they went with a greatly simplified system for Red at the expense of player agency.

While I would like to see dual wielding in Red I think we are committed to the rules as written at this point, though maybe after the chapter ends we will address dual wielding as a group.

For now it's just main action and move action each round. Keep in mind some weapons (handguns of heavy or lower, some melee weapons, and bare handed attacks) have a rate of fire of "2" and thus get two attacks per action.

I'm sure some of you know this already, but it's nice to see it in writing sometimes. Dual-wielding has a few benefits in RED, but not as many as you would get in other games. With the increased rate of fire with some weapons, you can end up taking a single shot from two weapons. Perhaps you're a solo who's trying to engage someone in melee, while also trying to shoot someone from across the room. Or you're using different attack types in martial arts. Or you're running around with different ammo types.

I found the video:
https://youtu.be/tmdMnYm1zno?t=699 - so from 11:39 Seth starts to talk and describes wonderfully why those multi actions are so cool... sound really like a lot of fun!

Yeah my understanding is that you can never exceed two attacks per round regardless of load out and ONLY if both weapons are 2 ROF. If you have a knife in one hand and a very heavy pistol in the other you cannot dual wield.

Dual wielding ends up being more of a flavor set up than anything else, with the possible exception of melee/ranged combo attacks like cowleyc mentioned.

Do I read it correctly: you don't have to have a smart gun, just Targeting scope cyberwere to use smart ammunition? So Neon could use/have the smart ammunition in the current situation and roll again for the shot ? :)

Yes, a cybereye or smart glasses with targeting scope is all you need for smart ammo. When you reroll your missed hit with smart ammo you roll 1d10+10 as the hit roll instead of your weapon skill

Ok. Thanks. So in this case it wouldn't help even if Neon would have it... :) I mean only less than 10%... more like 5%.... but wait it's no "nothing"... hmmm... could we assume Neon have this ammo on him? Or is it too late already? But to be honest I'm not sure if I want it so late into the mission... :)

Either you bought it during the "gear up" scene or you didn't, too late to retcon purchases ;)

No problem at all. It was the reason for my "hesitation" : it simply wouldn't feel good to suddenly have those bullets on Neon, not preparing them earlier:)

Well Spacer, it was good knowing you.

Well she's down but not out... If Flesher can stabilize her she will live till she gets to a hospital.

Can't believe y'all planned a nerve gas attack and everyone didn't buy anti-smog masks for the mission lol!

"We are Professionals - we don't have to use such gadgets! Right Choombas?!?"

Cough

Cough

Cough...

Pitching in for the nerve agent left Spacer flat broke.

No good deed goes unpunished I suppose...

Lol... for now it looks that way... :)

Somehow I was thinking that there will be a static DV only from the range, so really was hoping to get this shot. But when you used evasion moves I started to wonder why I have been thinking that way? :) Maybe because of the borg distraction by Max-tec or him standing on the train? Probably because I burned so much lack and counting to have an epic scene... ;) But rules are rules and it makes a lot of sens that such chromed guy have some reflexes upgrades and so:)

Just wondering: if it would be a hit - would it hurt the borg significantly? Or only like half of HP?

Any character with a reflex stat of eight can attempt to dodge bullets, otherwise you are correct about the static target number. This particular cyborg is a very famous villain so don't feel bad about missing him. To be honest, your pistol would be like a mosquito bite to him lol.

Lol... than... you never know when Max-TAC will save you from total embarrassment or ending as a puddle of blood on the train roof... :) They really do the service for the people... ;)

😂 They really do!

Could it by that way we planned for it have some transport ( :D) organized by Neon's friends in badlands? Or something like this? It could be easier to hide there somewhere? As I - hearing world badlands - imagine some desert with canyons, some desert bushes or even caves... But to be honest... I haven't had time to read the setting part of the book :)

Yes... the badlands are definitely Nomad territory and Neon definitely has a whole mob out there. Should probably make a call or two ;)

Back from the convention, sorry for the lag fellas

Everyone gets 150 IP for completing the chapter. I'll need a little time to get the next chapter going, aiming to start Monday.
