Saturday Shadowrun: Botching the Take


  • The crew moved in through the junk yard.  
  • Vee took a couple more trashers.
  • Void started hotwiring the crane.
  • Mr. Black crit glitched, misjudging the situation, and ran into the melee near Loomis.
  • The corporate guys take Mr. Black hostage and force the team to back off.
  • Ender is checking out the comm links.
  • Vee still takes out another trasher with knives, nice and quiet like.
  • The team runs for their rides as the corporate guys take Mr. Black and head out.
  • They use Mr. Black to force the team to stop following.
  • Mr. Black gets ejected out of the corporate team's van.
  • The team tries to track down the corporate team.  They find an RFID tag at the scene of the firefight that leads them back to Shangri-La, a division of Horizon Music.
  • The team heads down to the electronics junkyard to try to track down an optical disc reader.
  • Mr. Black gets permission from the Boggard in charge to search for one.  He also finds out that the Cathode glow bar is THE place to find old hardware.
  • A search of the junk turns up nothing.
  • The team heads to Cathode Glow.  Mr. Black gets a line on the reader they're looking for.  It turns out there is a shop in the back.
  • Ender and Mr. Black go in, with Vee on watch with a very big gun.
  • They get in.  For a price they get a line on someone using the reader.  They have 3 hours until the people will show.  For a price they also get a copy of the data.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here  with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp  OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty: Avoiding Nude PCs

I like Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty and here's why.  From the PRD: Armor Check Penalty : Any armor heavier than leather, as well as any shield, applies an armor check penalty to all Dexterity- and Strength-based skill checks. A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty. Armor check penalty is a big problem in Pathfinder.  It affects a number of critical skills: Acrobatics Climb Disable Device Escape Artist Fly Sleight of Hand Stealth Swim Clearly some of these seem relevantly affected, but what about disable device?  I can't move lockpicks because I am wearing armor?  That seems odd.  If I were to include ACP, which I currently don't foresee, I think I would limit it to affecting only Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Sleight of Hand, and Swim.  These seem reasonable... more reasonable than the full list.  Unfortunately, my experience with ACP is that is leads to unnecessarily ridiculous scenarios: Hmmm... ...

More Organizing

Besides an occasional game, mostly I've been organizing things in my rare spare time.  I got my hooks put up allowing me to hang my gaming bags and travel monitor.  Also, I got a pegboard framed and hung over my miniatures table.  It's all looking better and better.
