Thread for OOC talk.

Hey all, and thanks for the invite Nez!

Looking forward to this, and I’m happy to fill in the gaps of a team. :)

Thanks for the invite, Nezz!

Looking forward to working with everyone.

Oh wow! On the same side of the GM screen as Psybermagi. :)

Welcome everyone!

If this is a Shadowrunner variant of CwoN are there other races in this setting?

All the Shadowrun races are available but they cost a Focus.

Oof, got hammered at work, then got sick, then got a shot which put me down for a day. I'll try to keep up soon.

what is the conversion between the story currency and game system currency? IE, how much is 2,500 nuyen worth?

So I tried to compare a few different items between games and it's hard because CWN has a much lower curve (lifestyle maxes out at 20k for example, while SR maxes out at 100k). I think overall CWN dollars are about 50% of nuyen. So 2,500 nuyen would be $1,250 in CWN, which is a month of middle-class lifestyle plus $250 left over.

I'm hitting the road. Will be away from Saturday the 23rd through Tuesday the 26th. I'll have internet access, so I should be able to check at least once/day. But in case I don't, feel free to NPC Kla in my absence.

And American Thanksgiving weekend (28th-30th) is booked up so I'll likely be scarce during that time too. Again, I will try to post.

Sorry folks, been having a bit of a mental health crisis, I think it's on the upswing. I'll try to get back into it over the next day or so hopefully.

Sorry to hear about it. Don't worry, it's the holiday, so I expect posting to be a little slower until the new year.

Hey everyone, I'm going to retire this game. I don't know why exactly but I can feel the mood that it's not going very well so thought it best to just take it out back and shoot it lol. Thanks for participating!

Thanks for the game. I enjoyed it.

I think part of the shift was the difficulty of handling the investigation which often tendded to split the team. This got the group out of the groove. I was OK waiting but did shift me to a more passive role. No idea how you could have hndled it better other than possibly revealing the type of comapaign as "investigation" and ensured that there were pairs to work each type of activity? Still enjoyed the setting and system. Thanks again

Sorry I was a bit off-tempo for this game. Something about it just gently nudged my anxiety and I think it put my post rate too far down to keep on pace.

I want to emphasize that it was not anyone or anything in particular's fault! If it was a rational thing we could reason through and solve then I wouldn't be taking pills for it.

That being said, I do have to concur with Psy - I think the game may have suffered some adaptational issues. Cyberpunk tends to have pretty silo'd roles, and spotlighting in pbp works very differently than in tabletop, so trying to adapt the material of a mystery investigation, where you don't want to create factual inconsistencies, while also trying to work out an M.O. for a pretty diverse group all wandering off and doing their own legwork - tough task for any GM. I think we might have done a bit more up-front as players to build some cohesion, pregame, but other than that I think you handled it well with the material (both module and player) you had.

Sorry to hear it, Nezz, but I understand.

I didn't build my character with investigation in mind, so I wasn't sure that I could contribute much. And that major fail on lock picking. LOL

Oh well. Maybe next time. Still glad to get to try it out and game with some new-to-me people.

Thanks for all the feedback. Yeah I don't blame anyone, or myself at most. I think there were a lot of factors that just didn't mesh like I thought they would. Thanks for being good sports about it and I'll see you in other games!
