Shadows in the Dread City- A Cyberpunk RolePlay

No worries!

Delayed my post a little as I had a chance to speak with KF today about what we could do next with the plot, so I'll be tampering with the post to best suit where we want to take things tomorrow, it will be up then. Feel free to keep writing/posting in the meantime.

I spoke to KF IRL a few days ago, as a bit of an update he's doing well but will be 'gone' for a little longer. Wishing him the best.

Working through the PMs that have been sent my way, and the previously 'teased' GM post of mine will be up either today or tomorrow, I'm just catching up on the IC so nothing I write is out of place. I may even write up my OWN CHARACTER (SHOCK).

Hope everyone is still having fun, albeit I understand things are a little strange without the GM/Creator present.

Alright, text of the CS is all done, just need to format it all pretty like.

Actually, @Ezekiel, mind if I PM you a minimal formatting version for review?

@Ozerath

Sure thing!

Also as at least one person wanted the option, here's a link to my personal discord server, purged from previous games. Hop in if you want a more direct way to contact/chat with me.

As there were more people that didn't want to use it, I won't be running the IC channels idea at the present time.

@Ezekiel So I've been lurking a while, just wanted to ask: what sorta characters are already present in the RP? So I know what sorta person to make.

@DJAtomika

No sheets are currently under review so it's just those in the character tab :)

I wouldn't be looking at trying to 'balance' the character in terms of power level (although I would suggest not straying too far from what can be found with the other characters) more than with certain advanced concepts such as that, I'd expect a more in-depth sheet, something to convince me that someone isn't simply trying to pick the most overpowered 'build' they can get away with and are instead using the concept to craft an interesting character.

I'm less concerned with balance, and more in crafting a narrative that's fun for all.

The discord trick is something I've used to real positive effect in some other rp's I've run, but if the general consensus is a no I won't force people to, the purpose of running things by people.

I think I might just the keep the bio too long and write a TL;DR at the top.

Should I mention cybernetics in appearance or in a different section?

Also, it occurs to me kinda late, but is it alright to have my guy be almost entirely cybernetic? Like, basically a brain and a spinal column in a cyborg body?@Ezekiel

@Ozerath

I'd certainly say it is possible within the limits of the setting, however the concept has a rather high margin for abuse/powergaming/not sticking on theme so I'm happy for you to write a sheet with a character like that but I may be stricter in terms of quality before I can approve such a character.

I hope that sounds fair.

First off, I got struck by the muse and it's taking me a bit longer than I stated yesterday due to a sudden revision of what I had written along with adding more. Today like 100% will have it up.

Secondly, I've accidentally written 'Oscorp' instead of 'Osi-corp' about a thousand times now due to Spiderman's existence.

@Fading Memory

Knowing KF the decision to go with Osi-Corp was a deliberate troll.
Going to catch up on the IC then I may throw in a GM post to keep things rolling until our benevolent overlord returns.

ANOTHER THING

Would people want a game discord server or do we prefer using the OOC here?

On Discord I could create ic channels for in universe social media etc

Combat rolls into the room.

I'm feeling cyberpunky and this looks rather fun, may I whip up a CS for you fine folks? :D

@KaiserElectric

Of course you may :)

In the meantime, I'll still be here to review sheets/field questions. Much as I've yet to join in ic, I've very much been enjoying reading all your posts and I'm very much in the loop GMing wise.

I'm sure we can all manage 7 days while KF focuses on getting better.
