Welcome. I'll probably start a "session 0" thread to do chargen properly, but for now you can introduce yourselves and ask questions/discuss playbooks etc in here.

[AoC]

Testing the forum system, this should be fun.
Bit concerned that all I know about Sprawl is that it's pbp cyberpunk tho, usually have more reading to do.

[AoC]

I think I can just approve my own posts
EDIT: Nevermind

I assume that's to do with your account age.

For now you can look over the playbooks and maybe come up with a concept, I'll open up a chargen thread once everyone's made themselves known.

Hey! Pretty stoked about this game. I'm leaning towards either the Pusher, the Killer, or the Infiltrator.

[Marisu]

Hello chummers! This is the campaign for dreams broken by corporate greed, right? I was thinking about maybe being an Uber driver, but I'd like to learn more about the city and people first!

[Faanku]

OK, that's everyone here. I'll post the chargen thread so we can get started.

[ZanKyu]

Hallo, this is Kyu o/

[Faanku]

Welcome! When you're ready, look over playbooks and check out the chargen thread to get started.

[ZanKyu]

I have two or three concepts in mind atm, so I'm flexible. Either Hacker or Hunter would work, but I have ideas for Killer, Soldier and Infiltrator too, depending what everyone wants to do.

[Marisu]

Oh man, these corps are so good! And the logos are awesome! What did you do, Funk?

[ZanKyu]

The companies so far are involved with:

*Eugenics
*Drugs
*Privacy
*Yakuza
*Paramilitary

This looks promising

[Faanku]

Yeah for sure, there's a lot to work with already.

[ZanKyu]

Okay so on playbooks:

thenewflesh was thinking about Pusher / Killer / Infiltrator
Marisu was thinking on Driver
I was thinking Hunter or Hacker, with Killer / Soldier / Infiltrator maybes
AoC has no strong preferences

It looks like we don't have any serious overlaps. How do you want to do this everyone?

EDIT: I would propose in order to avoid a mutual hold-up since this is un-synch, to go ahead with everyone's characters by a first-come first-served mentality, since from what it looks like we won't have any overlaps anyway. I will write down mine tomorrow (8 hours or so from now).

[Faanku]

The only thing I'll say is that if you go Hacker be prepared to hang around online for an hour or so any time you Jack in to the Matrix; there is a lot of back and forth between the hacker and the MC as hacking has its own subsystem, unlike pretty much any other move in the game. It's not a big problem, but one to be aware of if you go that route.
One day cyberpunk systems will find a way to integrate hacking into play better, but it is what it is

[Marisu]

I see, so Kyu's plan is to take all of Funk's time, huh!

[ZanKyu]

Yes

[AoC]

Think I'll stake my claim early and go with Tech then. Thinking of Splicer expertise. I'll try to get a proper character congealed through the day.

[ZanKyu]

I'm going with Hunter, debating some ideas atm but I'm pretty close

[thenewflesh]

Okay, definitely going for a quiet assassin-type Killer.

The Neural Interface with Targeting Suite has a clause stating "you may also roll Synth instead of Meat to mix it up". Just to clarify, this holds in general, not just for ranged weapons I'm linked to?
