They're still there, but they're not listed individually anymore. It says at the top of the section that any cybernetic that boosts a skill or a stat has a Mk2 version with twice the bonuses for 4 times the listed price, and a Mk3 version with 3 times the bonuses for 10 times the listed price. The Mk3 versions are corporate, meaning 10 times as much on the black market, so they're actually 100 times the listed price.

Exceptions to that rule are listed individually.

Ah, okay, fair enough then

Now I just need to completely re-work skills and stats.

If you run into any trouble, you know where to come.

So, you guys still use any IM services, or what?

By the way, I've, uh, updated the XP calculator again. Now it automatically calculates how many XP you're spending.

Sweet! Send it along and I'll upload it.

I haven't logged into IM in close to a year, but my accounts should still be active.

Only thing it doesn't do yet is Concentrations, but that's an easy fix. Speaking of, are those in the game right now, or what? Because as of right now, I've assumed that they are, and paid for my skills accordingly.

Yeah. We're using those. The rules for the campaign are the same as the latest rules for the game, with the exception of Merits and Flaws. For those, we calculate the XP given or taken from the old system (20 * Magnitude) and the new system, and take whichever one leaves the character with more XP. I don't believe in taking things away after the onset of a campaign due to rule changes, but giving is fine

.

I replied to your e-mail with updated versions of the XP calculator you sent and Mikal's character sheet.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2004-10-16 08:18pm

Okay, cool. I altered my Flaws slightly to match the new flaws, since one of the old flaws doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I figure the ones I took would better help you pull in Mikal to the current game

Edit: I also have a pic I'll be using for Mikal for the short term...

Room is up. Everyone come on in!

Server: Mature Concepts
Room: Tensided
Passowrd: cyber

I thought that was a good session, even though there were a couple of fiascos at the end, like when I unintentionally ignored Alyrium, and when Gerard said said "fuck you" to the server administrator and called him a "dickweed". Thankfully, we weren't kicked off the server.

Everyone gets 50 XP. New character sheets are uploaded, and so is the chat log.

M6: ((oh well, we should probably stop here anyway, so CorSec doesn't miss anything important))

So CorSec doesn't miss anything important!? There were a lot of dead fucking bodies and a whole lot of snide asides that I missed, thank you very much! I will be crying myself to sleep this week.

Yes, but would Jack have had a part in any of it? I think you probably would have been twiddling your thumbs that session.

Besides, you got 50 xp for doing absolutely nothing.

Not true! I almost got to apply and detonate some detcord! But the van got blowed up before I could do it. 8D

Just the engine compartment. If (when) the VP shuts the doors, you might get to use that detcord

Boom, baby! Boom! And I said, "Yeah, baby! Yeah! I'm the mad bomber what bombs at midnight!" I'm making gravy with no lumps!

So what time Saturday is good for everyone?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2004-10-21 08:29pm

ideally, very early...like 4 or so EST.

Arthur_Tuxedo · Post by **Arthur_Tuxedo** » 2004-10-22 12:16am

Early afternoon works for me. Anyone have conflicts with that?

Sunday morning or afternoon (but not evening) is also open if we can't agree on a Saturday time.

I will be at work the exact time of that saturday game.

I am available at 4:30 PST however

Is 4:30 PST too late, then?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2004-10-22 08:38am

I have to be somewhere at 8 PM EST, so starting at 7:30 wouldn't give me a whole lot of time, unfortunately.

Gerard_Paloma · Post by **Gerard_Paloma** » 2004-10-22 03:03pm

I vote for Sunday morning/afternoon (afternoon/evening for the East Coasters), as the plans I had for tonight suddenly got bumped back to tomorrow night. Any start-time between, say, 9 am PST and 2 pm PST would work.

Arthur_Tuxedo · Post by **Arthur_Tuxedo** » 2004-10-22 03:07pm

CorSec might only be available on Saturdays, though.

Why don't all 6 of us post our schedules and we can figure out a solution from there? Hopefully no one will have to sit it out, but we're not cancelling this game. CorSec hasn't played in like a month, during which the rest of us played twice.
