Good choice

So I asked on the last thread, but where do you guys get miniatures? Is there a site that you guys prefer?

>>43909647
Thank you for your interest

The reason is because "Akagi" is actually a prequel to a "Ten" manga, which takes place... Well, quite many years later, and still has Akagi in it. I intended to make a jump for that and make a scenario there and everything, but then life just... Fizzled, all the inspiration out of me.

So now I am just reading W.I.T.C.H. at the moment, hoping a spark will come around. Feel free to pod the poor sod, but I just might get around to hopefully doing the thing in the future.

Question: SOMA guantlet has the "ITEM #2749: Jumper perk, which says:

> "If there is ever a situation where your consciousness is copied onto another body or device that can hold it, you will be able to transfer your consciousness to that thing. Without this ability, uploading a copy of your mind would create a clone. For you, it's a consciousness transfer. You don't black out either."

Assume I upload myself into a robot body I build myself, and decide to stick around in it...
Would my physical perks start working on it?

>>43911183
That sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for the clarification, Annette. Hope you find some inspiration on that front.

I have a month to kill before my session starts, and I'm working on backup characters. I've got a couple so far, but I'm trying to figure out extra roles to cover.

Current character:
>Ex-ganger human cybersam with a side in lock cracking
Backup:
>Chaos mage with an xbox hueg pile of Shape spells

Party's a drone rigger, illusion mage, and mundane face. I'm not sure what other roles to cover with other characters. Things I'm considering:

>Disguise adept with facial sculpt, kinesis, etc etc and the quality from Hard Targets that makes you have to wear a disguise at all times
>Parkour unarmed adept (I actually have this one partially statted out)
>Corporate wolf-spider (part decker, tiny part rigger, part infiltrator, all anti-security)

Any other ideas that might work out? Character generation is all I get to do with Shadowrun now.


Pic related is the Horizon HTR for our (upcoming) campaign, Event Horizon. There's nothing documented on them that I've found (corporate security or otherwise) beyond their name, so we ended up having to fluff a lot of it ourselves while in the planning stages. Heavy usage of rigger-style surveillance drone networks (it'll allow fancy tricks like the Barrett through the wall later in the campaign, if need be), PI-TAC systems, etc. More cyber- and matrix-heavy than your generic Knight Errant goons. Internal structure is fucked up, and individual teams got hit hard with Horizon's "everyone is perfect and decent in the exact form we want them to be"; skillwired-up goons with a link back to Horizon's own skillsoft network combined with how deemphasized their personal selves are means you're gonna see a lot of faceless, interchangeable parts. Maybe even the really elite groups having good ol' prototype ware to link them and their actions together to coordinate (see Corporate Guide 104 from 4E if you want to know where I pulled that from).

That's kind of a mess of writing but hopefully it made sense.

Actually, hell. I'm gonna piggy-back a question off my own post.

What the fuck is Horizon's deal?

I've got most of the other corps pegged down, I think. Aztech has their blood magic shenanigans, Renraku had the entire Deus mess back in the day (and I'm not sure what they're doing now), EVO is transhumanism incarnate and accepts head cases, so on and so forth. But what the fuck is going on with Horizon?

Pic unrelated, generic PSC.

>But what the fuck is going on with Horizon?

You mean the mega-corporation that has almost complete control over media, entertainment and public relations?

The mega-corporation who's slogan is "We know what you think?"

The mega-corporation that has a Shadowgroup dedicated to eradicating or propagating memes?

>>Lower body strength is roughly equal across the genders
It is not. Women have about 2/3rds the lower body strength, and about 1/2 the upper body strength.

If you weren't retarded you could have worked this out for yourself i.e. from athletic results. Or you could have just made a thread about kickboxing monks instead of this incredibly baitful thread.

>>43910059
Nice try at trying to promote your thunder thigh head squeezing magical realm. I see right through you faggot

>>43910081
This guy's got the correct stats.
But no, women wouldn't focus on powerful kicks because striking without your hands is silly. It's why kickboxing is the only striking martial art that's effective using legs. Tae kwan do and similar styles are trash in a fight. You have to use your hands because they are far more efficient and simple.

Grappling on the other hand, now there's a thing women will gravitate towards.
It's difficult to outweigh the function of mechanics with brute force. You need to be disproportionately powerful or good at technique to get out of a grapple or avoid getting into one, and so women can have a very good chance there.

But really, weapons make it a moot point for individuals. Any woman can become effective enough in armor and with weapons, it's just a lot more expensive, time-consuming and inefficient than spending the same resources on training male soldiers, but adventurers don't care about being able to scale up their strategies.

I'm still not entirely sure how to feel about the ten dudes jacking off in a cup to make super babies, one of my players asked what would happen if a bunch of Exalts tried it, but he ended up forgetting about it by the time we actually started playing.

>>43909666
>ten dudes jacking off in a cup to make super babies

I took it to mean magical gangrape, not turbo-wanking.

>>43909666
I'm not too sure about that, either. The other new locations seem pretty cool, though, and Volivat might turn out interesting as well if done right.

>>43909679
Why rape, anon?

tomorrow evening.

What ever happened to that one shot that was advertised on Saturday?

>>43908329
Hmm. The existing multiclass rules don't work very well at all, Except for the stuff that stacks from multiple classes.

Welp, I've started my new job last week and now I can still come here on mondays, but I have to interrupt my part mid-sesion, however I'm still able to rejoin a few hours later. So... about 2 hours from here I'll have to be gone and after another set of 2 hours I should be clear to return.

>>43908305
Yeah well I won't give em cause for offense, but if I give it unintentionally, killing me will be a hell of a chore...

first for fuck cyclonic rift...even though i play it too

The Rules:
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

rolling with a deep fear of /tg/ dice

I got a party member to open a door into nothingness, triggering a spike trap (not to my knowledge) coated in deadly poison, which killed the rogue. Shouldn't have stood there, we had bad experience with doors already that game.

Convinced an entire village to commit suicide trapped there souls and infused them into the forest animating them with magic and binding the souls to my will raised there bodies and had there zombie body's ride there tree body's into battle

Trapped another PC in a crystal of congealed time by drawing all the power out of an ancient arcane battery.

My character did this so that he would be able to keep the object of his admiration and desire safe and secure. Forever. That the side effect was a wave of distortion that devastated a highly populated area about twenty miles across didn't even enter into the equation.
