[Wrathbone]

For now I'll just buy a grenade for my grenade launcher, which looks to be 60¤.

[Mantis]

Do we have an inventory capacity that we need to worry about?

[Stormbringer]

It's a bit vague.

You can carry Strength +8 normal-sized items without a problem. After that, Strength and Agility DRs increase by 2. You can’t carry more than twice Strength+8.

What is a 'normal-sized' item?

For me, it's something you can't slip into a pocket, or wrap your fingers entirely around, but not so big it requires two hands to hold.

[Mantis]

Goodo.

I was going to buy useful equipment but then I saw there was a drug store.

Zola will buy 2 more mags of ammo for his revolver, one dose of Red Juice and one dose of 0-Sleep.

[Stormbringer]

Would you like to sell that Superlube to give you enough creds to buy another AR mag too? You only have one.

[Wrathbone]

I’m kind of attached to the superlube. I assume it’s exactly what it sounds like?

How many times can I fire with 1 mag?

Also, my inventory says I have a hangover. I assume that’s a joke, unless I can sell it somehow…?

[Mantis]

I’m kind of attached to the superlube.

Sounds like you've bought a defective tube then.

Yep, it's lubricant!

Your hangover is exactly that: a hangover. You were hitting the booze the previous night pretty hard.

Gunfire works like this:

After combat, roll d8 for each weapon you have fired or d6 if you’ve used autofire. A 1-3 result means you are out of ammo and have to reload.

[Animalmother]

I'll get a backpack, crowbar, flashlight and 6 bullets for 50. When one possess the Superlube, all other things are mere trinkets.

[Wrathbone]

Gunfire works like this:

On that basis, I will sadly part with the superlube to buy another mag.

(That feels like a sentence that could be unfortunate out of context. )

[Sly Boots]

I'll take a backpack, first aid kit, a multitool and superglue - to counteract the frankly upsetting amount of superlube among the party.

[Animalmother]

[Stormbringer]

You owe 8,000¤ to a roadrunner clan

Meep meep!

I'll get a backpack, crowbar, flashlight and 6 bullets for 50.

I was terribly worried about your calculations for a moment, then I realised you meant you're buying a 'mag' for 5¤.


Here's your character sheets!

So, basically, Zola and Doze are specialist characters with cybertech installed in their bodies, while Volley and Sen are just random street-punks they've picked up along the way.

Zola effectively is the 'boss' of this new gang, while Doze is the tech wiz.


I should also explain that you all have RCDs (Retinal Communication Device) attached to your heads; these are basically NET-connected mixed-reality headgear that allow you to communicate with one another by text/voice messaging, access emails, make purchases, etc., while also being bombarded with ads from the mega-corporations who run the city.



Those of you with 'Visionvisors' (that give you Predator-style visual enhancements) should consider these as extension modules for the regular RCD.


Are we ready to begin?

[Sly Boots]

Let's go!
