Here's my understanding of roles so far:

Accepted:
  • Seir (Netrunner)
  • Arc Orion
  • Koeniou (Nomad)
  • Aerdan (Medtechie)
  • Rikku (Solo or Cop)

On the waiting list:
  • Gunnar (Techie)
  • Jakethepeg
  • Cyberliger
  • Negative Polarity
  • Ciaroidbh
  • Rancod

It figures that Seir is the one to make a character to make me do my homework. But wait! I have Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout, the Cliff Notes of Netrunning! And I have Rache... :twisted:

Hmm... That's going to be... interesting.

I might have to rework the campaign a bit.

I think this is how a scriptwriter feels when the studio comes along and says that it's got to have a fast car in it, and the movie is set in 1902.

You've got to pass a background test, a piss test, a driving course, and finish near the top of your police academy class :P

They're not weird. But it makes it difficult to be, for example, a detective on the NCPD. There are other options -- CIA Domestic Ops, US Marshal, LEDiv, etc, that are federal positions. However, Arc is wanting to play a Corp (or maybe a Media or maybe a Fixer), so the overall shape of the team is getting a bit odd. This is the first time -- including factoring in three other online campaigns -- that I not only haven't had to talk someone into taking a non-Solo position, but that there is a complete lack of Solos to begin with.

Ponder, ponder, ponder...

If need be, I could take the role of a Solo.

Quick update:

Accepted:
  • Seir (Netrunner)
  • Arc Orion (Corp)
  • Koeniou (Nomad)
  • Aerdan (Medtechie)
  • Rikku (Solo)

On the waiting list:
  • Gunnar (Techie)
  • Jakethepeg
  • Cyberliger
  • Negative Polarity
  • Ciaroidbh
  • Rancod
So far, I've seen two rolls sent to me (Aerdan and Arc). I presume everyone else is working on the basis of 55CP, which is fine, but I'm yet to see any characters arrive. At the very least, please send me some character concepts so I have something to work with.

I'm not sure why you can't see it. I test your permissions, and my address isn't visible, though it should be.

OK, I think it might be a good idea to schedule some time to work with people over IRC on their characters. It might also be a good idea to do this in a larger setting, where several people are there at one time. The addition of cybernetics and some of the other gear can really throw off new players. At the same time, I intend to have some reality in place, so you're going to need to do things like buying food and clothes. It doesn't have to be good food -- it can be kibble, which is cheap at 50 euros per week -- but it does need to be there. Likewise, the clothes don't have to be fancy, but if you're wearing the same thing everyday... that just doesn't look good, and word does get around.

I'm going to try to be in the #Cyberpunk channel for a couple of hours each night (my time zone is UTC-7), and also during the days this weekend. We can go over what might be good for your character, and what might not be so useful.
