anilEhilated posted:Say I'd like to play along - are the mods connected, do you import your character? Technically, you could, but there's very little connectivity between them all- the games will treat your dude/ette as separate entities. In any case, I forgot to mention in my vote that I just want to say gently caress YOU TheMcD I WANTED TO LP THIS but good luck anyway!

Shaman because like you said, Baseba'al might make for a cool Totem, and I haven't played one either. We can learn *~together~*!

Both The Closer and Split/Second (might require archives) should be stickied threads and required reading for the LP forums

Whybird posted:Do things get better? I should say so, though I'm hardly biased, and I can say that the module does lean on the combat side of things. Honestly, I'd compare the Antumbra Saga to the Shadowrun Returns trilogy itself- the first game is adequate, but serves more as a demo run of the tech and as a test of the creator's skills, the second is where things really come together, and the third is HOLY poo poo YOU SWEET GAME WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE.

Now I'm disappointed we didn't choose Zizek as a PC. Oh well, there's 2 more games in the series!

Perhaps they're sorcerous in nature? Like Awakened termites or something? And IIRC the CalFree Saga takes place in the early 2060's or thereabouts.

Agnosticnixie posted:Although any Johnson who pulled the "surprise you were working for X all along" would probably eat a bullet right then and there. I wouldn't do anything to piss off the Azzies unless I had a Great Dragon backing me up, and even then that's not a guarantee (RIP Sirrug and Dzitbalchen).

Basically, most corps expect shadowrunners being used against them as part of just doing business, and as long as you personally don't do a lot of expensive damage, the cost-benefit analysis will probably be in your favour. Hell, do a good enough run, and they might just hire you to go against the guys who'd hired you first- you've proven your skills, after all. Aztechnology reacts in just how you expect a multinational megacorp formed by drug cartels to react*. Worse still, they use blood magic, which means that they're readily selling their souls to take revenge on you. And while most megacorps wield massive influence in world governments, there is practically no difference between the nation of Aztlan and Aztechnology, so if/when you piss Aztechnology off. You not only have to deal with being tracked by any biological traces you leave behind, you'll have a government backing up whatever hell spirits, mutant monsters and mercs the company sends against you. Not only that, but they're killed off at least two Great Dragons. But that's not the scariest part of Aztechnology. That's their PR machine, which is such a juggernaut that even a megacorp that does nothing but PR (Horizon) couldn't match them in an image war that revolved around an actual conflict Aztechnology/Aztlan started. Not only that, but the Azzies manufacture practically everything people use in the Sixth World- their most well known property is Stuffer Shack, a combo 7-11/Wal-Mart (as I understand it), but they also handle just about everything else, from household appliances to magic goods. They're not the biggest AAA, but they're certainly the most secure and stable, which should be terrifying on its own. *There's another AAA mega which has ties to organized crime: Mitsuhama Computer Technologies (MCT) had its roots as a Yakuza money laundering front, but when legit business profits began to outpace criminal profits, they decided to go full-on capitalism (not much difference, I know). These days, the Yakuza stuff is only tolerated, as a multimillion-nuyen criminal empire is nothing compared to their multi-trillion nuyen business empire; they're only indulged because the Yakuza are an easy source of deniable assets.

Wait, Sirrug survived? I thought the Azzies confirmed their kill on him?

Agnosticnixie posted:Also like Aztechnology's plot invincibility mostly came about because they really needed a way to wrap poo poo up and apparently making the company whose entire business is media shockingly bad at media sounded good to the crop of geniuses who publish the tabletop. Yeah, this one really got me. I mean, I can understand wanting to make Aztech as sinister and powerful as possible, but there's a limit.

Take Hailey , since we can kind of do most of what the others can. She's got us both fake SINs, right? So that's some cash saved, which we can spend on passive bonus Chi magic since in my experience, they're a much better long-term investment than most weapons. At the very least we should wait to get a katana or something.

Saito remains an enigma in many ways.

Yep! Dragonfall is a great place to start Shadowrunning, if you ask me. Each Shadowrun game is standalone, and the first game, Dead Man's Switch, is kind of rough around the edges, and lacks many of the QoL improvements Dragonfall and Hong King introduced.

I'm kinda neutral on what you should buy, but bring along Norton, Dorbi and Hailey.

As said before, Aztech managed it, but only because they had the resources of both a megacorp and a nation on their side, not to mention they managed to dredge up with blood magic. Basically, outside of GM fiat, the only way you can take on a dragon is if you can take on a country.

GhostStalker posted:His last decision involved stripping Hestaby of her horde and lair at Mt Shasta (relevant to the end of this campaign) because she went to the UN to condemn one of their own, Sirrugg, as a war criminal for his rampage across Aztlan following the execution and dissection of Dzbaltchen. Taking Great Dragon politics outside of their own circle is very much frowned upon. Wasn't that a 'Just as planned' for Hestaby, though? Now she's free to do stuff on her own, unconstrained by politics.
