We’ll resume Friday, as the two recruits board their jeep for their transfer to Spirit Faith from Hope. Widow and Hale are heading down to the complex to keep an eye on their friends…
Despite the rougher look of Faith, they might be more “in touch” with the matrix and outside world. I guess that’s part of what we’re here to figure out…
the infiltration continues; a new boss is on scene and the hoeing goes on. Elsewhere, a rising young pirate journalist keeps interviewing the homeless and a dedicated street doc makes some money tending to the ills of the SINless.
Hey, why is that dark music swelling in the background?
If you’re in a writing mood, plotstorming.com does a lot to help you out. The daily writing prompt is pretty neat– just enough to spark a short story or two, if you’re in the mood. (I found this site via a post on the Treasure Tables forums, and found that it’s a nice little place.)
They also have an area where you can work on a world– for a book, RPG, or whatever you need.
A similar site with more of an RPG focus is The Campaign Builder’s Guild. Their Homebrew Campaign Settings page has an impressive list of worlds you can borrow.
A complex plan came together last week, as the Shadowrunners managed to drive the manufacturing scoundrels from the junkyard. Just as life was looking up, Nathan got a sinister video (of our two car assaults) and a demand to meet.
Will anyone have a problem making this Friday night (7/27/07) session?
Seven Sentence Character Generation (via TT, from forums, from an old Dragon Magazine):
Seven-Point Character Summary, extracted and paraphrased from Ed Greenwood’s “Seven Sentence NPC” article for Dragon Magazine.
Occupation and/or history.
Physical description.
Unusual skills or attributes. What is the character good at? Listing the obvious is okay, but try to take it a step further.
Values and motivations. What drives the character to act? What types of things does he or she consider important?
Interactions with others. What attitude does the character have towards other people? What face does he or she present to the rest of the world?
Useful knowledge. What types of things does this character know? Look beyond what’s on the character sheet.
Distinguishing features. There is something unusual or unique about everyone. What stands out the most about this character? This can be a major, dramatic feature, or a minor one.
We’re currently lined up to game on Friday night. Jennifer may have to go cover the Harry Potter midnight book sale stuff, but that’s still up in the air.
Do we want to get together even if she’s busy? If so, what do we want to play? Walk along nostalgia lane with some BattleTech, or does something else appeal more?
T minus two days– everyone still ready and excited?
===
Our next get together is Friday, July 6th Friday, July 13th. (Dad is away again this weekend, for his forty-mmmph high school reunion.)
I’ll try to keep a calendar up to date with our game days– unless the wiki or somewhere else works better for you. Just let me know!
Last weekend (June 29th) Dad headed south and Jennifer and I are headed north.
We’re back from the wilds, rearmed and ready to roll. We’ll meet Friday night as normal, unless anyone will have trouble making it. If you can’t make it, just let us know. Otherwise, game on Friday!
Weary and worn, our runners straggled back to the cave with a gaggle of strangers. We’re ready to return to the big city. Some of the runners are probably swearing off any greenery more than a city park ever again…
We’re on for Friday unless something comes up. Let us know if you’ll have any trouble making it!
