GM Style Sheet: woah cool future
A notification appears on your commlink, a new posting has been added to the ShadowHaven job board:
"This ain't a job but frag it, some of you drekheads need to get out and live a little. SysOps can kiss my hoop if they got an issue 🖕. Throwing a Halloween party at the Daze Monday night, figured I'd extend an invite my favorite bunch of antisocial freaks for hire. Might be a good community building opportunity. Since some of you won't even wipe your hoop without a payday, got $4,000 in dead presidents on the line for whoever wins the costume contest. Judged by yours truly.
I swear to fucking Ghost, anyone who shows up in some drek you bought from Kong-Walmart is getting added to the ban list. DIY or don't bother dressing up.
Bury the hatchet at the door, I ain't in the mood to fix bullet holes in the ceiling before the next acid rain storm."
Da Rules:
There will be no picks for this "run"! Anyone who'd like to join in on the fun is welcome to post in the Play by Post thread once it opens. I'll be posting as I'm able and keeping an eye on things to make sure everything's running smoothly, but the goal is to give an opportunity for RP between PCs. Everything will wrap up 11/1/2024 at roughly 11:59 PM EDT, at which point the winner of the costume contest will be announced.
For anyone wishing to participate in the contest, Alessa P has a strict DIY only rule. To create your costume before the contest, make an Artisan + Intuition [Mental] (6, 1 Hour) Extended Test, applying modifiers from the Build/Repair Table (Core pg. 146) as appropriate. Contact me if you're not sure what modifiers apply. The more net hits you achieve over 6, the more impressive your costume is.
Disguise may be used instead of Artisan at no penalty. Spells such as Fashion and Makeover don't replace the need for actual artistic skill, but will grant a +1 bonus Superior Tools bonus to the extended test for every 2 nets hits achieved when casting the spell. Only a single casting of such a spell maybe be applied to the extended test, and the bonus caps out at +3.
Participating in the contest is not required to join into this "run", but there is a 20¥ door charge for everyone coming down to The Daze for the party.
