Same for me, more or less. I'll start ironing out the kinks for the next run, expect it to go up sometime next week.

A little bit of unfortunate news: My laptop broke. Thankfully, as far as I know, it's a relatively easy fix, and I do have a replacement part coming in Monday or Tuesday. However, if it's worse than expected, I might have to get it repaired which'll hopefully take a week at most. If worse comes to worse I always have my lovely desktop with the SR5E corebook on it and none of my run notes, so I will have to wing it. Thanks for putting up with these delays!

Triple (!) posting just to say that I got my laptop fixed and the next job is ready, just waiting on Jawdins!
Fake edit: That probably sounded way more rush-y than I wanted it to, and I'll keep editing and refining the job so there's really no rush.

Game's still going on! I'm just waiting for RonWayne and Jawdins to finish up their week, though if there's no response by next Wednesday I'll probably just move on and let them resolve it after the next job.

Also, this is happening in STL due to rain. I blame water spirits.

Yo where my GM post at? Bumping to hope this isn't dead.

Not dead yet! I made a promise to a few people that I'm not going to give this thing up as long as the players are willing to keep going. Right now I'm waiting for thatbastardken to make a post, so I'll give them until 12 am (central) on Thursday, August 6th. If they don't post by then I'll just move on without them and let them catch up.

Just so this post isn't without substance - here's a hint as to what's going to happen this run:

Sorry for the relevant lateness in replies - a lot of change happened these past two weeks and it might lead to me being less responsive in the future. Not going to give this up, though - this game isn't over until I literally cannot do it anymore, or you all decide we've reached a crescendo.
Also, due to technical bullshit that I really can't figure out because I'm not technically inclined, I probably won't be able to hop on the #Shadowrun IRC anymore. If you need to reach me, my e-mail's kumatonsa@yahoo.com, and I'm going to actually get Platinum and an avatar sometime in the very near future.

T-T-T-triple post for a quick update: my laptop is literally dying on me. Updates might be scarce until I get it fixed or get a new one.
Also: if you're still playing, Respond to Cirno's roll call within one week! If you don't, I might remove you from the run and possibly the game! ('Might' in this case means 'unless you email me and explain why you couldn't')

Quadruple post to impart some bad news - my desktop has decided not to turn on anymore, which means that I'm without any useable computers other than my phone.
So I'm sad to announce that the game will be put on hold until either my laptop or desktop gets fixed. It could be tonight, but most likely, it'll be two weeks from now, I'm really not sure. This also means that Cirno's call to action won't count until I post another as soon as I get up and working again.
Was I cruel to children and small animals in a previous life or am I currently under cyber attack by hackers? You decide!

HELLO FRIENDS I AM BACK

So I'm not gonna bullshit around with 'how much I've wanted to get back to this game' stuff - trust me, I really have been and I couldn't loving wait to get this post up. But, anyway, I'm gonna cut to the chase and say that if you're still planning on playing, post in this thread by Thursday, October 15th. If you can't make that deadline by the time it rolls around, or you won't be, email me (I've given my email several times in this thread already, so you shouldn't have trouble finding it. :)
Also, we're going to pick up right after your Johnson's introductury meeting since we've spent way too loving long in it anyway. I'll say we'll pick up right outside the restaurant, but when you post in this thread to confirm that you'll still be playing, you can suggest an alternate time and place that isn't right outside of Wizard's Wagon on the night that you want to raid it.
In any case - Sorry that I've been away for so long, hope we have a fun game, hope I'm not loving up and making the game boring, hope you guys haven't lost interest by now, etc.

There's a non-zero chance of some parts of St. Louis (mostly the county) becoming irradiated. This is probably something that'd happen in Shadowrun, too.

So, for CaptainCarrot, ProfessorCirno, and Ronwayne - I feel like we really have three options:
  • Go ahead with the game with you three
  • Re-Open the thread to submissions until we have one-three more characters
  • Round out the team with GM filler characters
Personally, I'm leaning towards option two, mainly just so I can avoid a tie. What do you three think?

Reopening means even more delays. I figure drop us in and let us figure it out as we go. Two thugs and a pixie on a matrix run.

All of the above.

Just keep the thread going for now. Run recruiting while we do the run (probably won't take super long I hope???). If we need GMNPCs, just grab one of the now missing PCs and play as them; we clearly lose them in the run (or they just don't join up for the next mission)

Since ProfessorCirno had the best idea, I'm going to open up the game for submissions again.

So, if you're looking at this and you've been linked from the Recruitment thread, hi! I'm looking for 1-3 new characters to participate in this run and possibly the next ones! All Chargen rules can be found on the first post. Recruitment ends in two weeks, on November 13th, 2015.
Currently, the run is seeing if the host for the Wizard's Wagon shop has pirated content, and then stealing and possibly destroying the server if it does. The game thread is only four pages long so it won't take too long to read, and the current run starts here. We haven't seen any action yet, and it'll be easy enough for your characters to integrate into the run.
If you've already submitted a character and haven't gotten chosen, feel free to re-submit your own by just providing a link to your old sheet or a revised one, or create something new!
I can be reached at kumatonsa@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

For those of you currently in the actual game: I'm willing to run some casing stuff, e.g. scoping the place and the Host out, but I'd prefer to keep action to a minimal until we get the new players in.

Not really. I did design this mission so the team's decker would have something to contribute, but it's easily doable by anyone with a basic knowledge of the Matrix.

I remember having a reason for it back in the spring when I started this thread, but the explanation's slipping my mind right now. I'll review the rules for magic later tonight and see if I can't re-figure it out.

I think it was because it was originally planned to be a roll 20 street level game that moved up to pbp standard gen but not all the way.

That's probably it, yeah! I don't think I got everything changed over, and I believe that by the time we decided to do PbP all the characters were already made or selected. I can change it if you'd like, or we can just go with it.
