I indeed prefer 4th over 5th, mainly because I learned with 2nd and relearned with 3rd, then with 4th, and now I feel old as fuck so I'm sticking to this for now.
That, and it has all the splatbooks and content for it
-
CoC works for me, I think. I may get in some slight scheduling issues but it should work
Ah that's funny, I went through kind-of a similar process. Started with 2nd in Middle School and just followed the series for ages. I was really reluctant to get into 5th but after trying it a bit I think it's actually the best edition for maintaining balance and making sure dice pools and tests don't get insane. The limits system is pretty cool and I also like how they revamped the matrix. You can do a matrix run in the time it takes to run a regular (short) combat. It's only like 4-6 checks then you're done.
EDIT: You can put Chemistry in your list of requirements above (I've been so busy lately I'm only just now looking it over and cooking up a character, sorry) just make it the Chemistry knowledge skill not the active skill. Now your character has chemistry know-how (and spent their freebie points on it) instead of chemistry I-can-build-and-defuse-bombs
That is a good idea, yes. But I thought of it as being amusing to have a lab assistant get told to explain it and the players just not getting it. Then coming up with analogies to try to explain it.
That said, I have 3 character sheets, with more people having mentioned an interest.
Going to make the deadline next friday, I think
Maybe saturday if I feel generous

You are a traitor!
Your current objectives:
Objective #1: They mocked you in life, a lesser janiborg they said. Now they shall know terror.
Objective #2: Hijack the shuttle to ensure no loyalist Nanotrasen crew escape alive and out of custody.

Does anyone remember the complete insanity that was White Wolf? Thieving gypsy vampires, corpse rape magic, arab assassins that turn black as they age...

I'll look through all the characters tomorrow. I have received a total of 7 character sheets, but 3 of these are by the same guy so it sounds like more than it is
Will be comparing schedules the day after tomorrow, when I make sure the characters are okay
I've considered it, and the group does not have any big holes in it. You are all in, and we're going to have to figure out what times we can actually play(The hard part)
So I will ask you, the players, to post what times you can make and then I'll find any common times we have open that can fit in a game
So I double checked the character sheets and found a theme
Every single one of you forgot to get a commlink OS (Like getting a computer but not getting windows/linux/whatever), or any programs.
The programs are optional since your commlink does have some basic functions, but you kind of need an OS
Not to worry, you can get a free custom-OS
It's shit though.
That said, your office has a quality matrix access point with some quality programs. The thing is that you can't carry your office node with you, so you can't search stuff using those stats when you're out somewhere
I double checked and yes, you did. That's my bad, I skimmed over for programs and found that nobody got those, then checked someone else for the OS and skimmed a few more sheets.
Still, it's not a huge deal. Especially since there is nowhere that this programs stuff is explained in depth aside from the more detailed rules on hacking and similar. It's easy to miss
I am aware of this. Just pointing it out for people that this is a thing they too could have gotten if they wanted to be that bad at tech
Other fun note about the group thus far: No trolls, no orks
Two ladies, three men
Six guns
A total weight(Equipment excluded) of 754 kg
Six vehicles
The highest costing lifestyle in the group is at 10k nuyen a month
And the lowest is at 800 nuyen a month
You should be able to fill in your character file at the roll20, and read basics about two NPCs and your office
Though the NPCs will get proper introductions when we actually play
Braaauugh can no longer make these next two thursdays, my philosophy professor decided "oh hey you're required to go to these lectures now on two day's notice, have fun" like an ass
However we will resume Cthulhu on the 19th.
In game, I play the A.I Firmware, the French cyborg C.U.R.I.E, Aubrie Allen, and the lizard scum Skulks-Through-Maintenance.
Already talked to XSI about this but today is Canadian Smallpox Blankets holiday and i will not be able to play unless it is pretty late EST, he said we were probably just wrapping up character descriptions and that sort of thing and that it wouldn't be a problem. I could still maybe do today but like i said it would have to be pretty late
Arthur Thomson says, "Since there are no admins I would loging with another account and kill you"
Caleb Robinson laughs.
Arthur Thomson catches fire!

If this doesn't work, we can bump it foreward an hour or two. Or back. But since nobody really mentioned much on their times I'm going to just assume everyone has an open enough schedule to work this

This will be tomorrow
And since nobody commented, I assume that time works fine

There's some pretty interesting stuff in the Elven nations that would be great fodder for games as the different royalties compete with eachother in the TT or the ridiculous bureacracy setup in the TNN clashes.
