General OOC

Thread to post rolls and other OOC stuff.

This should be the perfect place to talk about what characters/playbooks were looking at playing and talking about what kind of cyberpunk we want to play.

The 80s image of the future is interesting but it does have its anachronisms and you can really feel some of the 80s themes in a lot of places (Reaganomics, infancy of wireless, Cold War, etc.)

Nothing wrong with any of that as it has its own charm but recently I've been more interested in more modern-ish cyberpunk which works with our modern vision of the future but still retains core cyberpunk themes.

So more along the lines of Minority Report and/or the Android setting.

Now for characters I was thinking of playing an ex-spook from the CIA. More field agent rather than desk analyst so the killer playbook seems right for that.

I'm definitely onboard with a modern cyberpunk as opposed to a Blade Runner aesthetic. I'm still bouncing ideas around and will probably settle down once I have my playbook, but I was eyeing Driver, Hacker or Infiltrator.

I am still reading the playbooks, but my initial draw is to hunter or infiltrator. I'm willing to give those up if someone has a strong play; I could probably come up with something for most playbooks.

Killer or Soldier seem to be the best fits.

Alright, time to probably use the Get the Job move from Stache as he seems to be leading this negotiation.

Oh, what a lovely start, lol.

Saito is trying to research Dawntaneity's habits, try to see if there's a better place to do the job.

Razor is attempting to Case the Joint (Smitten).

Spoiler: It Does Not Go Well

Not sure what to describe here; do I come up with the description of Smitten or do you?

Should probably hop in and have Stache do some legwork as well instead of sitting by.

I would like to Declare a Contact.

Cherry, private investigator, and an ex-spook just like Stache. They know one another from their "contract" work for the CIA down in Florida and the Caribbean. On their last "contract" job down in Havana Stache saved Cherry's ass. There's a bar up in Fort Lauderdale called Inferno that lots of ex-military and intel guys use. Private, secure, no corpos allowed, and Dante makes a great margarita. That's where Stache would get in touch with Cherry.

Sounds good. Go ahead and set the scene in the IC thread. Describe Inferno and Cherry how you wish and I'll hop in to RP them.

Don't forget to add Cherry to your sheet.

It might make sense for Razor to wait in line for a snack and actually get one or two rather than just wander around and leave; just doing that seems more suspicious to me. If that is fictionally tedious and will have no downstream effects then I am content to hand-wave it.

It won't have any mechanical effect. You still draw attention due to your miss on Case the joint. However, that's some good characterization, so if you want to add it, by all means go for it.

I can also just edit my post if you'd rather. Just let me know what you'd like added or removed.

Only that she'd get a couple of harmless-looking snacks from the counter. It would seem that pretending to be a clueless idiot was not wholly successful.

Hit the Streets: 2d6-1 5

Lol, I see how you want to do me game. You want to fuck me over that's what.

So saving Cherry's ass isn't going to cut it I guess.

Declaring a contact:

Wendell "Scav" Jones, a fence. Wendell is a pawnbroker who Razor met when she first started "acquiring" things through questionable means and needed a way to convert those things into cash. It is said that he has a corporate patron that uses him to funnel things in and out of the gray market, and that patron keeps him protected from organizations and personages that might want to interfere with him and his business channels.
