If you have any questions about character creation, the setting, or anything posted herein, post it here.

1. influence=charisma?
2. Aura=?
3. Starting equipment
     -how far advanced of living quarters?
     -how much money do we have to purchase items?

frankly, I forgot that all of you are new to this system. I took that for granted... I will be posting some details on Attribute explanations and gear.
I will also keep in mind that you all are new to this. My apologies.

for dice rolls, do we want lower or higher than skill level?

Die rolls are typically looking for a roll of 11+.

Your skill or attribute is compared on a chart to the opposing value and one roll is made. The results of this roll tell if you succeeded and in the case of combat, how much damage was done as well.

The rolls are done by rolling 2d10 and adding them up.  double 1's are a crit failure and all other doubles are rerolled and added up until no doubles are rolled.

a new post has been made in the narrative section. That section is for in character details only. You will post there what your character is planning to do what he is saying to other player and maybe even what he looks like. B is artistically detailed as you would like to be and never assume somebody else's reaction.

if you have any questions regarding the post this topic is where you should discuss that. I recommend on strongly suggest that you look at the old stories that were running here on this forum and see how the other players input their actions and descriptions.

I didn't know where to put this so I decided to put this here.  Narrator, feel free to move it elsewhere if you feel it would fit better somewhere else.  

Hello Everyone, I am Lebeau.  I used to be a private doctor for the corporate officers of Alpha corporation and their families.  Alpha Corporation specialized in designing advanced relaxation rooms, sleep aids that included medications and various other therapeutic treatments, and other entertainment software and hardware.  I don’t know if the original owners could have anticipated the success that Alpha Corporation had.  People would anxiously await the latest software downloads and  flock to the local Canopy Holodeck or meet up in the Virtual World and play the latest adventure game.  It was nice to be part of an organization that provided an escape from the dreary world that life had become for the majority of people.  Our corporation seem to have experienced immediate wealth over night.  Our corporate officers were generous with their wealth.  Workers for the corporation were not treated as commodities but were treated as members and they were valued by corporate officers.  The canopy that we inhabited flourished as the corporation succeeded.  Hunger and sickness was at an all time low.  Crime and drug addiction was on a major decline in the canopy and people were … Happy.  But the good times did not last.  Success breeds jealousy and jealousy breeds corruption which leads to violence.  Other corporations were jealous of our success and decided to infect our canopy with physical and virtual viruses.  People started to have constant nightmares to the point that they were afraid of falling asleep.  Other people started to have trouble distinguishing what was real life and what was a digital world.  Other people would swear that shadows were attempting to swallow them and drag them into the abyss.  This was the beginning of the fall.  There were rumors of whole stories being declared insane.  There were other rumors of a plague that weakened the structure of the canopy that left it opened to be attacked by the corporations enemies and eventually lead to the global corporation’s decision to cleanse the canopy that once was the envy of so many other canopies.  

I am skilled doctor and I offer my services to the group.  I am skilled in cyber tech, pharmaceuticals, psychology, chemistry, various other sciences, and other subjects.  I have been a skilled negotiator in the corporate world and can mediate some contracts to make negotiating easier.  I am willing to help just let me know how.

While everyone is deciding on where we want to go. Elridge looks for a tech dealer... Being careful no to stray to far from the group.  If he sees a dealer that looks "corporate" he will avoid them unless that is all that is available.

Just so ya know,
everyone is given 5k cred each upon release. Lebeau also gets all medical items half off for this initial purchase.

I listed gear in the intro section

We also have to think of where we are going to stay tonight...

The good are bring purchased at the mall or just outside with a short taxi ride.

Depends on the contact..most are gonna tell you they are running a half way house. Regarding the nights stay I Mean

where is the equipment list?

found the equipment list under gear... we have enough to rent a place for the night instead of staying in a halfway house.  That is if we can an apartment.  Just tossing the idea out there...  

I found the gear but did not see the Equipment that i was looking for (netrunner EQ being [under construction])  Can we get that added?  Just looking for decks and accessories... i did find the pdf which had some options.. are those what we can get?

yes.

what gear would be the equivalent to a modern day smart phone or i phone?  what is the cost for such device?  The gear list looked like it came from 1989 cyberpunk or shadowrunner...     So early 90's!  LOL

if ya want something like that, drop 25-50 creds.

Eldridge, 
What is your intention of scouting the sites?

It won't take too terribly looking to find what you posted about, but I want to btw clear pin your intentions.

For the hack he needs to set up a staging site and a escape site when they try to track him down. It wouldnt do to lead the authorities to our place of residence
