[Job] There's something in the mist. <2024-12-13 23:00 (UTC)>

{2024-12-13 23:00 (UTC)}

Player count: 3-4 (Looking for Mages/Adepts only on this one)

Duration: 3+ hours

Communication: Discord, Roll20

In-game Location: Outremer, Fox Island

Game theme: Spirit investigation, spooky

Game type: Capture

Threat Level: High

Hey Chummer, got a job for you. Corporate Job. MCT is looking for some mages to help capture a spirit. Something about trying out new tech or protocol or something? I don't buy it. Thing is, they want the team to go out to Fox Island to try this out, and I just had some government suits asking for runners to help out with something in the area. Important people have been disappearing, UCAS and NAN, in the area. Tension is high.

OOC information: A link to your character sheet, your role and comfortability with it between 1 and 10, your discord username, the date of your last run, if you have had more than 5 runs, and if you have a hard time limit.

Monthly Update Thread - December 2024

Hoi, chummers. Looking for the old megathreads? If you're looking for the contact/quality thread, this is it. Otherwise, scroll to the bottom and you'll find the old links.


As you may be aware, some character changes are only allowed once a month and only with Thematics Division approval (or RD's or CCD's, at TD's request). This thread is the place to request them and get that sign-off. Don't add them to your sheet until they're approved.

  • You may purchase one Contact with a maximum Connection+Loyalty of 7, at a base price of C+L+1 (Networker and Massive Network apply). These contacts should generally be as detailed as at character creation.
    • Please include a link to the character sheet and use the following template to describe your new contact:
    • Character: [Character] ([Networker/Massive Network/Neither])
    • Contact: [Contact Name] - [Connection]/[Loyalty] [Archetype/Title]
    • Cost: [C+L+1] paid with [1 Karma or 3000 Nuyen per point]
    • [Description]
    • [Backstory]
  • You may purchase one Positive Quality at the standard post-chargen price (2x the book price)
    • The house rules regarding qualities still apply.
  • You may remove one Negative Quality by paying its karma cost (2x the book price).
    • You can discount the cost of removing it by adding new negative qualities. These new negatives only give their base value in karma to offset the difference, so you will generally lose karma value doing this, but it can help move a story along. They also must be negatives that affect your character as they would in Character Creation, or else they will be declined.

You don't need approval for:

  • Lifestyle/rent changes (but you can document them here).
  • Gear or Ware acquisition rolls (just make these in the #gear-rolls channel in Discord)

Some of the old megathreads have been retired. Their functionality has been replaced:

  • Player AARs & Data Haven: We now have an in-character discord server for datahaven interactions. AARs go in the creative writing channel in that server.
  • Rent reminder: We now do rent after every 4 runs (or 1/4 after every run).
  • Solo runs: We now have a google form system.

Still, if you want to look at the archives:

The AAR Megathread - December 2024

What is this thread about?

This thread is a place for you to post After-Action Reports, or AARs for short. These are recaps of runs you've been on. Usually they're in-character descriptions or stories of your runs, but they don't necessarily have to be. There are no "official rules" on what an AAR has to look like, so feel free to get creative.

You don't have to post AARs, but it can be a fun way to do some roleplaying, establish your character, or share tales of awesome runs.

There are no minimum or maximum length requirements for AARs.

Monthly Contact Purchase Thread - December 2024

Each character may buy one contact per month in this thread. New contacts are bought at (C+L+1) GMP, and a maximum cost of 8 (after discounts from Networker or Massive Network).

New contacts should have the same level of detail as character creation - Name, Connection, Loyalty, Archetype (Optional), Vitals (Metatype, Physical description), and Backstory. New contacts must be reviewed and approved by a member of TD (or RD/CCD at TD's request) before they can be added to a sheet.

Please include a link to the character sheet and use the following template to describe your new contact:

    Character: [Character] ([Networker/Massive Network/Neither])
    Contact: [Contact Name] - [Connection]/[Loyalty] [Archetype/Title]
    Cost: [C+L+1] paid with [1 Karma or 3000 Nuyen per point]
    [Description]
    [Backstory]

For example, Mafia Matt is buying a new contact. He doesn’t have either the Networker or Massive Network qualities, so he’s paying base costs for the contact. Mafia Matt's player would post the following in this thread, including a link to the character sheet, for approval.

Character: Mafia Matt (Neither)

Contact: Teflon Tony - 4/3 Lawyer

Cost: 8 GMP paid with 4 karma, and 12000ny

Teflon Tony is a human man who runs a law firm in Central Tacoma for the Mafia. He has a history of clearing up incidents in the legal system and keeping things from sticking to people of importance to the Mob. He specializes in fabricating evidence of innocence for violent crimes, and paying off the right members of KE to keep things quiet.

If Mafia Matt had the Networker quality, Teflon Tony would only cost 7 GMP as written, or he could raise either the Connection or Loyalty by one and keep the same cost. If Mafia Matt had the Massive Network quality, Teflon Tony would only cost 6 GMP as written.

The Monthly Solo Run Megathread - December 2024

Need to increase a contact's loyalty? Travel through the metaplanes? Find that MacGuffin? Get payback on somebody? Here's your chance!

  • GMs that want to run solo games should make a top level comment to this post with 'Available for Solos' in bold at the top.

  • Players wanting solos may post replies to the GM comments to request solo runs. Please do not post top-level threads requesting a solo.

  • Only apply if you have enough karma/nuyen to buy any improvements requested.

Solo run rewards are capped at a maximum of 10GMP equivalent, and GMs are free to reward less based on the contents of the solo. They can include:

  • Equipment valued at 6000 nuyen per GMP

  • Contacts valued at C+L-2 in GMP

  • Chips on a contact, maximum 3, for a 1:1 GMp value

  • The ability to purchase a quality (or buy off a negative) at normal postgen cost, without using up the character's one monthly quality buy or buyoff. This has no GMP value.

  • Services from a free spirit or sprite, valued at a 1:1 GMP ratio

  • Faction rep as per the limits on pages 156-160 of Cutting Aces, at no GMP cost.

  • Automatic success at an Initiation or Submersion, and the gaining of the Initiate Grade/Submersion Grade immediately at the end of the solo. This imposes the usual 30 day or 7 day cooldown before the next IG or SG can occur, and the date of last IG/SG becomes the day of the solo for tracking purposes.

  • An increase to a contact's loyalty of 1, no GMP cost.

Note that rewards such as Initiation/Submersion success or the raising of a contact's loyalty may constitute the entirety of the solo's rewards. The intent should above all else be to tell an interesting story with a GM centered around your character - Solos are oftentimes as time consuming to craft as any full run, so be sure to show your appreciation!

Rent Reminder - November is almost over!

Hey chummers. Remember me? It's your landlord. Time to pay up. Remember to pay for each of the lifestyles you wish to keep this month (don't forget any modifiers to your lifestyle costs).

If you already have a safe house, you must pay for that too.

Also, if a character didn't run this month, they are in stasis and don't have to pay rent.

Examples:

  • Sally StreetSam has just a regular old middle lifestyle and wants to keep it, so she pays the regular 5000¥ for it.

  • Denny Decker has a middle lifestyle as well, but he's also picking up a low lifestyle hideout (extra secure, hard to find). The middle lifestyle is 5000¥, and the low lifestyle is 2000¥ plus another 600¥ for being secure and hard to find, for a total of 7600¥.

  • Timmy Tank is a troll and has family to feed (Dependents 3), so he can't afford anything more than to keep his low lifestyle. Lucky for Timmy the RunnerHub does not have a troll tax and thus his costs are the base for a low (2000), and another 30% of the base cost for his dependents, for a total of 2600¥.

  • Magic Mike unfortunately didn't manage to get a single run this month, but at least that means he doesn't have to pay for his lifestyles.

IC Teaser:

An eerie drone resonates through the charred remains of a marketing division’s halloween party on the eighth floor of an office building. Amongst the dead there are countless empty buzz cola cans, a few secretaries and assistants murdered violently with office supplies, a few slaughtered goats, and a half dozen self-immolated marketing executives two of which managed to burn a perfect circle about themselves, while the others lie their forms contorted into pugilistic stances as they seem to have died in battle with each other.

An elevator dings into position on the floor and releases a cloud of neurostun as it does. Ten minutes later it releases another. Finally, the sound of a Mitsuhama Turbo-beaver 87 monofilament chainsaw tearing through reinforced plascrete, and reinforced plasteel fills the air as the blade rips it’s way through the floor of the elevator, cutting out a hole large enough for modified anthro drone riding a northrup wasp to clamber through the hole. The wasp retreats down and than a short while later returns with an another anthro drone which than hands the first drone a secondary chainsaw, which it then uses to carve a hole large enough for an androgynous dwarf dressed in white to clamber down and out into what remains of the marketing department.

“[Is this it?]” Asks the drone.

“Yeah..” The dwarf sighs, surveying carnage. “The only console that can still reach our fixer should be on this floor. They sigh, putting their hands on their hips.* “From the looks of it they burned this place pretty badly, not sure where they got the gasoline but I’m sure the answer would shock and probably horrify me. Anyways, let's see if we can find the console that’ll let us talk to our fixer. I’m pretty sure it survived the fire, but running-flute was the only one with access and it looks like they butchered her before they died, and I’m not about to desecrate the corpse of one of my friends and coworkers, so we’re going to need you to saw through the case, than get your master to hack it.*

“[That shouldn’t be a problem, let’s move quickly. My master is likely to start the executions up again soon if we don’t get that job post up on schedule, I think I heard them mention beheadings but if they do it like the compound they’re likely to mangle the bodies once they’re done.]”

“No time to waste then.” The dwarf proceeds through the carnage, stepping lightly and navigating the sea of empty soda cans and other assorted debris without making so much as a sound as they lead the anthro-drone towards the console.

Hoi. I’m reaching out from the offices of Falling Bird Software engineering, the ones in [REDACTED], Seattle. I’m sorry about the user name, it’s a default and I can’t change it. Anyways my name is Ruth Black, I work for renrak- Excuse me that part was added automatically. I fucking hate this console. Anyways I’m not sure what day it is anymore, but back in october we had a party that got out of hand and our shaman was accidentally locked out of the building and wound up doing some contract work for a client that wanted something stolen. Anyways, the same client is now holding us all hostage and intends to kill us if we can’t complete the contract. Our chief executive officer was a retired runner so he went to complete the mission himself after the initial teams failed, and he himself was captured and based on what I can guess ,there’s probably an Aztlan priest on their way to kill him. If you could rescue him and complete the job, that would be really nice, and we’ve got plenty of nuyen to pay you, gold if you want. Fuck we’ve got a few bricks of nova we could trade if you don’t want our cred. I’ve reached out to a fixer, but I’m not sure if they took me seriously, so I’m posting here, this console has a cooldown on it, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make another post before they start killing us, so if you could please help us, that would be great.

IC Teaser:

The Rats Nest: Redmond Barrens, Seattle Metroplex

Jerome, sighed taking the credstick offered to him by a pair of oni as their compatriots began to pick through the compacted mass of garbage and dead bodies he’d delivered to them. For just a moment he could see his former partner and best friend’s mangled cybernetic arm somewhere in the mass.

“Right…” The trog said in Italian that the code switched into city speak. “Just, ya’ know, make sure you double check the count. We don’t wanna fuck the lottery up or nuthin’.”

The leader of the Oni, sighed, leaning on his crossbow. “What? Oh yeah the body lotto, forgot you goons were still doing that, sure whatever omae. Just ya’ know watch your back and all that good dreck.*

“Watch my back?” Jerome looked the Oni dead in the eyes, switching on the lights in his. “The frag does that fuckin’ mean? Watch my back, you think I’m a fucking runner, look omae, you wanna fuckin’ die, I can make that happen for you real fast. Go on try it, say something about ammo.” He reached for his secondary assault cannon.

“Woah. Je- Fuckin’ woah. Omae, leal’ friend, chummer, put the thing down. I meant that there’s a bounty on gamblers and anyone who runs rackets out here. And that now that you’ve said that people might be down, I dunno what your talking about why would that make me think your a runner.”

That’s the start of their creed, you dumb kobun.

“Kobun the fuck?” The oni levels a crossbow at Jerome.

“Kobun, means japanese criminal right?”

“No. It means yak.”

“Oh, fuckin’ sorry man, anyways yeah. I’m bent out of shape. One of those guys was Trim, he fuckin’ tried to cover up a murder or some dreck so I had to put him down, and I’m real bent out of shape, we been together since my died man.*

“Fuuuck, I’m sorry that happend.” The one extends an arm to touch the Trolls shoulder. “You okay if I touch you?”

“Yeah…” Jerome nods. “Go ahead.” The troll accepts the Oni’s comfort. “I’m just… Yeah, probably going to go home and smoke some kelp about it, maybe cry, but I gotta get this dreck done first ya’ understand.”

totally.The oni nods. “I’m actually probably going to have to kill my uncle here soon, ever since his transition he’s been saying some scary dreck, I think he might be running.”

“Fuck, I’ll let you know if I see find any Oni on the streets. Anyways, you got a name?”

“Yeah, Jerome, it’s Joq.”

The troll shrugs. “Nice, to meet you, look I’ve got-”

A fairlight caliban in the pocket of Jerome’s lined trench coat starts to beep, the troll reaches in and syncs it to his flying eye so he can have a video call. A persona consisting of a black silhouette with the Gianelli family crest on it shimmers into place from the comlinks built in holoprojector.

“Jerome, vai immediatamente all'ufficio Pullayup. E porta il credstick non appena hai finito di depositare i corpi. C'è una squadra qui. Non siamo sicuri se sia eta o no."

Jerome nods, and turns to leave immediately, getting on his motorcycle and ordering the garbage truck back home. “See you later Joq, I gootta go.”

[Job] Precise Directions To Follow

{2024-11-04 18:00 (UTC) }

Picks will go out shortly before the run

Player Count: 3-5

Duration: ~5-6 Hours Hard cap will be at 8 hours.

Communication: Roll20 & Discord.

Edition: 5E and associated books

In game location: Technically in Seattle

Game theme: Precision with extreme force

Game Type: Mirrored Shades or Camo Mohawk.

Difficulty level: Designed as High Threat/Medium Complexity (Making poor choices will lead to higher threat, even if not pay).

Prerequisites: Be on time, working microphone, critical thinking, character sheet, team-based thinking, new player friendly attitude and reading The Agreement and Table Rules that are in effect on my table.


As you log into the Runnerhub network you immediately spot:

You have [88] new notifications.

Reflexively you tap on the ARO/Icon.

I need a deniable team for an extraction.

The job is simple, the pay is competitive.

Assets to be recovered at specified time.

Delivered to a specified location after

clean exfil is confirmed.

Further operational details and

specifics of support will be given upon

acceptance of job. No collateral, only precision

operators need apply. Contact Mr. Dervishson.

[Commcode attached]


OOC Application info needed: Sheet, Tell me your character's Role on a team, if you are worth extra GMP (New/2+ Weeks since play), and syndicate/corporate affiliations if any. I do not want or need anything else OOC.

Bonus Points: In Character Describe your character's favorite job tactic, and how they have successfully used it in the past. It doesn't need to be on the hub it could be backstory. This is a memory you are recalling to yourself, not something you are saying aloud to the Johnson or anyone else.

If I like it enough I may even award an edge refresh because of the narration, see my table rules doc above for more details (if you get picked, the story won't be what I pick by but writing a cool one could help you if you do). Generally to be worth an edge refresh I would like something at least two paragraphs, not something 2 or 3 sentences.


This run is not one with specific mature themes that aren't inherent to the game system, but given the setting the general Shadowrun things will come up for this kind of run. Participants/viewers all must be 18+ due to the various themes contained in this setting for my table. If you have any specific topics that you would not be willing to participate and are comfortable to let me know ahead of time that would also be appreciated so I can steer to avoid specific triggers.

Spoilered Content warnings (if present) are for people that may not want to spoil possible run content for themselves. I will do my best to warn of things right before they come up as well.

All TOS for various platforms used are respected so no need to specify those topics as they are already forbidden.

The AAR Megathread - November 2024

What is this thread about?

This thread is a place for you to post After-Action Reports, or AARs for short. These are recaps of runs you've been on. Usually they're in-character descriptions or stories of your runs, but they don't necessarily have to be. There are no "official rules" on what an AAR has to look like, so feel free to get creative.

You don't have to post AARs, but it can be a fun way to do some roleplaying, establish your character, or share tales of awesome runs.

There are no minimum or maximum length requirements for AARs.

Monthly Contact Purchase Thread - November 2024

Each character may buy one contact per month in this thread. New contacts are bought at (C+L+1) GMP, and a maximum cost of 8 (after discounts from Networker or Massive Network).

New contacts should have the same level of detail as character creation - Name, Connection, Loyalty, Archetype (Optional), Vitals (Metatype, Physical description), and Backstory. New contacts must be reviewed and approved by a member of TD (or RD/CCD at TD's request) before they can be added to a sheet.

Please include a link to the character sheet and use the following template to describe your new contact:

    Character: [Character] ([Networker/Massive Network/Neither])
    Contact: [Contact Name] - [Connection]/[Loyalty] [Archetype/Title]
    Cost: [C+L+1] paid with [1 Karma or 3000 Nuyen per point]
    [Description]
    [Backstory]

For example, Mafia Matt is buying a new contact. He doesn’t have either the Networker or Massive Network qualities, so he’s paying base costs for the contact. Mafia Matt's player would post the following in this thread, including a link to the character sheet, for approval.

Character: Mafia Matt (Neither)

Contact: Teflon Tony - 4/3 Lawyer

Cost: 8 GMP paid with 4 karma, and 12000ny

Teflon Tony is a human man who runs a law firm in Central Tacoma for the Mafia. He has a history of clearing up incidents in the legal system and keeping things from sticking to people of importance to the Mob. He specializes in fabricating evidence of innocence for violent crimes, and paying off the right members of KE to keep things quiet.

If Mafia Matt had the Networker quality, Teflon Tony would only cost 7 GMP as written, or he could raise either the Connection or Loyalty by one and keep the same cost. If Mafia Matt had the Massive Network quality, Teflon Tony would only cost 6 GMP as written.

The Monthly Solo Run Megathread - November 2024

Need to increase a contact's loyalty? Travel through the metaplanes? Find that MacGuffin? Get payback on somebody? Here's your chance!

  • GMs that want to run solo games should make a top level comment to this post with 'Available for Solos' in bold at the top.

  • Players wanting solos may post replies to the GM comments to request solo runs. Please do not post top-level threads requesting a solo.

  • Only apply if you have enough karma/nuyen to buy any improvements requested.

Solo run rewards are capped at a maximum of 10GMP equivalent, and GMs are free to reward less based on the contents of the solo. They can include:

  • Equipment valued at 6000 nuyen per GMP

  • Contacts valued at C+L-2 in GMP

  • Chips on a contact, maximum 3, for a 1:1 GMp value

  • The ability to purchase a quality (or buy off a negative) at normal postgen cost, without using up the character's one monthly quality buy or buyoff. This has no GMP value.

  • Services from a free spirit or sprite, valued at a 1:1 GMP ratio

  • Faction rep as per the limits on pages 156-160 of Cutting Aces, at no GMP cost.

  • Automatic success at an Initiation or Submersion, and the gaining of the Initiate Grade/Submersion Grade immediately at the end of the solo. This imposes the usual 30 day or 7 day cooldown before the next IG or SG can occur, and the date of last IG/SG becomes the day of the solo for tracking purposes.

  • An increase to a contact's loyalty of 1, no GMP cost.

Note that rewards such as Initiation/Submersion success or the raising of a contact's loyalty may constitute the entirety of the solo's rewards. The intent should above all else be to tell an interesting story with a GM centered around your character - Solos are oftentimes as time consuming to craft as any full run, so be sure to show your appreciation!

Game type: Foundation Dive(s), deletion of data.

Threat Level: Foundations should always be High

// Hey Chummer, Fixer here. Got someone here paying for a deep dive. I managed to negotiate 30,000 on your behalf if you're interested.

Rent Reminder - October is almost over!

Hey chummers. Remember me? It's your landlord. Time to pay up. Remember to pay for each of the lifestyles you wish to keep this month (don't forget any modifiers to your lifestyle costs).

If you already have a safe house, you must pay for that too.

Also, if a character didn't run this month, they are in stasis and don't have to pay rent.

Examples:

  • Sally StreetSam has just a regular old middle lifestyle and wants to keep it, so she pays the regular 5000¥ for it.

  • Denny Decker has a middle lifestyle as well, but he's also picking up a low lifestyle hideout (extra secure, hard to find). The middle lifestyle is 5000¥, and the low lifestyle is 2000¥ plus another 600¥ for being secure and hard to find, for a total of 7600¥.

  • Timmy Tank is a troll and has family to feed (Dependents 3), so he can't afford anything more than to keep his low lifestyle. Lucky for Timmy the RunnerHub does not have a troll tax and thus his costs are the base for a low (2000), and another 30% of the base cost for his dependents, for a total of 2600¥.

  • Magic Mike unfortunately didn't manage to get a single run this month, but at least that means he doesn't have to pay for his lifestyles.

"Need someone taken from Megablock 8 housing district, subtlety required! Check the file below"

The video file starts to play a grainy old advert for The Megablock Housing Project... The video enters the massive silo-like doors of the ground floor into a lavish atrium with a hollow core that reaches all the way to the roof of the building. The advert tours luxury shops and restaurants on the first few floors. Then, it starts to show off luxury apartments that get nicer as they rise through the floors. The video ends with the tagline "You will never have to leave your Megabuilding again"
