Yes please

Cthulhu-Tech 2.0

That's right, we were going to look at that rulebook and see if it's playable now.

CoC is one of those games i would love to play but not ever want to run, due mostly to it being obscenely difficult to do properly

That is why you run pre-made modules until you understand them enough to do your own thing

I've run Call of Cthulhu (and most of the other games on A3's list) before; I might be up to run a game for some tee g station folks. If I did; who would be interested?

I am always down assuming i can make the time

Same here, though my time schedule is kinda full

By which I mean
The popular times for tabletop are full in there, and then I'm bored the rest of the time

I would definitely play as long as it doesn't conflict with the EP game.

Also Wyzack you shit you can't even make it to our EP games don't go signing up for more.

You said every other week! I follow my schedule with unyielding persistence

Alcohol, pain killers, and benzos.

playin cyberpunk is like the worst thing to do in rehab

cyberpunk is like 90 percent drugs, crime, and hookers.

Eh, we didn't fuck with drugs in the game. Closest we ever got was me making a drug that would cause enemies to hallucinate and attack their allies with the added fuck you of causing impotence as well. I kinda hoped to have it play a role in our heist to serve as a distraction, like maybe I could discretely jam a hypo in a guard to cause a hell of a distraction but my buddy kind of fucked that over. Besides, real badasses don't use drugs. Any sorry motherfucker can use chems as crutch to get him through a mission. It takes a real man to go on a dangerous run without having to use drugs to give him bonuses.

I would answer Cthulu's Call. My work schedule is wacky but I think I can make it work.

I'm not sure about dedicating to 2 RPGs at the same time. I have the time, but I'm not sure if I have the determination.

You Dutch bastard sitting around smoking drugs and trying to fuck American college students isn't any more of a life than plslaying rpgs, you huge dike.

Which god in pathfinder is the worst? Saranrae?

For a moment I wasn't sure who you meant with Dutch bastard

Because I too am Dutch

Its okay, xsi, you're Dutch but you're perfectly legitimate.

If anyone is free and would like to help me out with the Eclipse Phase game I have a sort of side-story thing going on that I think would benefit from having someone play it out rather than me just run through it in my head and write it down.

It's a secret so PM me, don't want to talk about it too much where the other players can see.

Basically you will be playing a one-person game of EP with me as your GM. Sessions will be super short, maybe two hours long at the absolute most. Probably more like an hour a pop.

Okay, interest in Call of Cthulu noted. If you're up for it let me know what times work for you- I'll start writing a plot.

I"m free every day except Wednesday after 4pm EST.

I have a game on thursdays, tuesdays, saturdays, and occasionally mondays. Rarely also sundays, but that's not a full on game and more a side thing

Evening european times for all of them the except the saturday one, that one is afternoon europe times

We playing eclipse phase 2nite?

You should just jump in to the Discord. We're all here waiting.

Be on in like 15 mins

[Impatience Intensifies]

10/10 EP group great sessions.

So the first session and the one we just played are now up on archive.org

https://archive.org/details/CeresNoir

This page will update as time goes on so you can just grab that shit from there or play it from the site. Rad. I would appreciate people sharing that around if you think other people might like it? Would be pretty rad if people were listening to it and enjoying it. Good motivation to keep going and keep improving. /shill


As far as the Call of Cthulhu game goes, what edition/version would we be playing?
I've heard a lot of good things about a game called Trail of Cthulhu as well.
The only edition of the game I own is ancient, the 4th edition from 1989.

after yesterday's EP game I feel a bit more like I could handle 2 RPGs at once so if you've still got place in that Cthulhu game sign me the fuck up

Call of Cthulhu UPDOOT:

We'll be playing the 7th edition of Call of Cthulhu. I won't have time to start us properly until after GenCon (next weekend), at which time I'll try and work out a schedule.

Sounds good
Keep us posted

I'm near done with a Shadowrun character for another game. If anyone wants to look over my decker and give me some pointers let me know. I always run out of ideas for spending that last bit of cash.

I've avoided buying any cyberware except for the datajack. While there is a lot of cool high-end stuff you can get and slap in your head I don't think much of it actually helps this guy at all. With Logic 7 (thanks to exceptional attribute) he's already going to be hitting a lot of limits imposed by devices and shit. Being able to pitch even more dice at tests isn't bringing much to him for the cost.

No names for anything yet beyond his fake SIN. It's pronounced "Jobe".

Go for versatility. Pick up a few grenades, or maybe weapon smartlink stuff.

It's kinda too late for that. I'm all in on decking.

I shuffled some of my active skills around to get 5 dice for pistols. With the holo sight on the manhunter I'm rolling 6 dice with a limit of 4. I do have a decent pool of Edge so if I need to shoot anyone I'll probably just edge every shot. I would really rather not involve myself with combat at all. I do have demolitions and medical skills at appreciably high numbers and the gear to go with it so I can help out there. As long as we don't run up against any tumbler-style locks I can get us in anywhere, whether I have to pop open doors or just blow a decent sized hole in a wall.

If I survive a bit I'll probably pad out my physical attributes some so I'm less fragile and get more combat skills while spending my nuyen on rigger stuff. I could be droning.

It's never too late to buy grenades or guns

If nothing else you can use ask your fixer to hook you up with some of the good stuff
Don't rely on edging every shot, if you must interfere with combat as decker, do it by bringing some autonomous drones(They're shit but they help) or by hacking the hostiles' commlinks/cyber/drones
I haven't checked your sheet yet, but if you haven't already, get a tac-net. Everyone will thank you for it.

If you rely on edge for your every combat, you're going to run out really quickly. It's better to work your other skills

Tac-net costs a ridiculous amount of money now. I think as much if not more than my cyberdeck.

I might have enough cash left for a drone, ammunition, and a fake license for it.

>licensing

this shit right here is why I play wizards

You still need permits for them spells there bucko

You say that

But in SR there exists a lizard that literally eats spells as soon as you cast them

It's also endangered because every corp wanted a bunch and they don't breed in captivity

okay everyone

time for FAVORITE SHADOWSLANG

personal favorite: "shoes", as used by an astral projecting mage to refer to his body

runner up is "floor routine", the (usually futile) attempt to avoid automatic fire by a poor bastard without cover

You say that but my character has 50kg of commercial explosives and a half dozen blasting caps.
When you can't hack the door open, make a window.

That just means you are shadowrunning correctly

Lengthy discussions in discord about how to properly turn a drone into a murderbot are just a few of the reasons why Shadowrun is the greatest RPG ever.

I hope someone brought up that you can load drones in mortar shells for remote deployed droning

If not I will be very disappointed

What sourcebook is that mentioned in?

I think it was WAR!

There's mortar shells you can load drones into. The book mentions using combat drones on enemy areas but you can also use medical drones and mortar your own friends

Let me double check

Edit: Confirmed. WAR! page 158

Drone: A drone round is not an offensive round, but rather
one designed to deliver a drone of a certain size to a target area,
usually behind enemy lines. As long as the round lands on safe
ground (e.g., on sand or a roof op rather than a lava flow or a tar
pit), the drone is deployed at the end of the Combat Turn it was
fired. the drone to be inserted into the round must be purchased
separately.

Oh, this is 4e, no idea if you're in 4e or 5e, but it should be really easy to port over if 5e

What is dumber, a drow paladin wielding a double bladed sword, or an chaotic evil aasimar assisin dual wielding katanas

I could see that working for micro drones but anything larger than that and the physics involved don't add up.

To fire a small-sized or larger drone through the air and onto a target area like a bullet would require such an amount of thrust to move that mass that the drone itself would be crushed.

Super Aggro Crag wrote:What is dumber, a drow paladin wielding a double bladed sword, or an chaotic evil aasimar assisin dual wielding katanas

The second one sounds fucking awful. I could come up with some background to establish the first character but the second one is obviously just someone's edgelord fantasy.
