The Pink Dice Chronicles

So Sunday afternoons I have a new crew gaming my cyberpunk path homebrew for Pathfinder.  Here's the new party: Bob the Pilot, Sylph Kip, Kitsune Techniker Thelx, Human Hacker/Pilot  Amzi, Zed Gunslinger (Overkill Gunner) Indi, Human Rogue The party starts out doing whatever and gets a message to meet spinner in the Cold Tube.  It is a creepy retro hacker bar that attracts only hipster retro hackers and old timers.  The security equipment looks like Uvoid junk yard with animatronic camera eyes watching for trouble. Once inside, the crew meets with Spinner.  Amzi folds her legs and listens, getting stairs from the regulars.  As a Zed, that is the way it goes.  Most Zeds, an insectoid-like race from a crashed spaceship, stay in their compound for good reason.  They can just barely speak a humanoid language.  They also tend to be hunted by researchers and insect haters alike. Spinner gives them the lowdown... a creature loose ...

The VW pipes were singing until a bad shift let out a puff of smoke and a shutter.  The Dub in the front seat turned his head and opened a yellow smile at me. "No worries man."  He drew out his words.  "She is just a little tempermental, but she'l' get us there." I coughed.  I preferred the clean air and silent hum of an electric, but there are no electric taxis around the ground floor. There was a loud thump as the suspension bottomed out.  It was the first ramp down.  I looked out the window as the old VW gripped the corner tightly.  You couldn't watch a viewscreen in one of these old beasts while taking the turns down -- you'd vomit all over yourself. The engine wound up again as we hit flat ground.  There was a smell of musty dirt in the air.  Up ahead, I could see one of the robotic tractors running operations.  It was turning over the grass into the soil and planting new.  It is the only way to grow soil this far under...

So we had the first meeting of my Port Wayne game today.  of the 7  players I originally had lined up, we ended up with the 3 original players and one new guy.  It irks me when folks sign up and then drop with no warning.  Grrrr. So the party looks like it is going to be the following: Human rogue "Indiana Jones"-like character Zed Gunslinger Overkill Gunner that talks little and likes to shoot things and blow things up Human hacker with rogue flair Technik (new class coming) that creates and uses technology I am excited.  I am looking forward to getting the game going.  If anyone else wants to join, drop me an email or a comment here.
