The Sprawl – Page 12 – Powered by the Apocalypse G+ Archives

Hello, Hamish Cameron!

First of all, I wanted to thank you for the great game that gave me and my friends many hours of fascinating adventures and unforgettable emotions. Keep it up! Thats was cool!

However, after several sessions we had a few questions that we could not find an answer in the book. I very carefully used the search in the community and did not find in your comments the answer to these questions. Please, tell me how to solve this?

1) How much same gear does a character have at start of game? For example, he chose “gas grenadeS”. He has 2 of them? 10? An infinite number?

2) And again about gear. Trauma derms and EMT kit allow you to treat injuries. How many “charges” do such items have? 1? An infinite number? Or until the first unsuccessful throw? (soft/hard move)

3) The move MIX IT UP allows to achieve the goal with the help of violence. Can a little girl with bare hands “take control” a huge war-robot? Army of armed people? A squad of cyberninja? In full fight situations, just coz she roll 10+ (and at 7-9, but at cost).

4) Between the missions, the characters are healed. But are drones / cars healed too? If not, then, if the team has a Tech (expert in this aspect), can it be “repaired” for free?

I will be extremely grateful to you for the answer. We discussed these questions for several hours 🙂

Quickie question for first time MC – do personal directives work once per mission or are they stackable.

If anyone was curious to try either The Sprawl or my hack [Shadowrun in the Sprawl](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BtD9Rvgn3NR6OdsIRJZuvZcdNxieFEI4/view) I will be running a one shot tonight!

Please comment here or PM if you are interested. I am looking to start in the 1800 to 2100 EST window, at the earliest time all participants can make it.

I realize it’s short notice but I forgot to post it to G+. Apologies.

Look forward to running some shadows with you all!

I vaguely remember that Touched is going to be three settings, but can’t find the source post for that.

How much action do you have in your Legwork Phase?

I am the MC and I have a PC who is Hunted by a Threat. I introduced it in play as a results of Get The Job move as players didn’t choose “the meeting doesn’t attract attention” option.

During Legwork Phase PCs noticed they were followed by this Threat and their reaction was strong, so we had a very intense (and cool) action scene.

Did I do anything wrong? It’s supposed the Legwork Phase to be strictly the mission preparation time for PCs mission, and nothing else should be seen in action? Do I have to use actively Threats only during the Action Phase?

Need Some Suggestions

Need Some Suggestions

Hi everyone. After a long hiatus, I’ll be MCing another session of our Sprawl game (set in the Android: Netrunner universe) this coming Saturday and I could use some ideas. So far the team (consisting of a Hacker, a Killer, and a Pusher) has done two missions over four sessions, and those have both been “standard” missions.

What I mean is, neither of those missions (a hostile extraction and a wetwork operation) have involved any of the PCs’ backstories. I’ve kept things pretty straightforward so that I and the three players could get get a handle on the rules and the characters. But now that everyone feels comfortable, I think it’s time to start making things complicated.

What I’m looking for are suggestions on ways to bring the characters’ backgrounds to the foreground, to make those choices matter. The characters are as follows:

Burn – the Hacker. Screwed over a high-level company assets to acquire their cyberware and is now hunted by NBN (an infotainment megacorp that has monopoly on date. Basically, if it’s on the net, NBN knows about it). Burn is careful to the point of paranoia, lives in an undisclosed apartment off the grid, and almost never goes on missions in person. They look like a plastic Angelina Jolie (from Hackers), and, yes, their cyberdeck is named “Acid”.

Eleven – the Pusher. Raised in the Haas-Bioroid corporate arcology (still has family there), drank the HB kool-aid, and was on the management fast-track before she was “reallocated”. (HB is a labor solutions megacorp, producing weak-AI robots known as bioroids.) Eleven “associates too strongly with the product” for HB’s tastes, but she’s kept on as a corporate asset. Eleven is outright owned by Haas-Bioroid, once for her skillwires (mandatory for HB management) and again from her dermal plating (implanted after that first mission). Eleven is (so far) unwilling to accept missions that go against HB’s interests.

Vega – the Killer. Has yet to fire his automatic shotgun, Mercy, as Eleven and Burn have been so efficient at their jobs. Is also an off the books Haas-Bioroid corporate asset (like Eleven), but is more mercenary about it and has gone on at least one mission with Burn acting against HB’s interests. He’s owned by HB thanks to his corp-installed Neural Interface and Targeting Suite, but his Muscle Grafts were installed in a back alley chopshop. Unfortunately they were boosted, and he is now hunted by whomever owned the truck they :fell off” of.

Thoughts on how I can bring these entanglements to the fore?

I hope you all enjoy it! The changes are mostly minor and mostly effect metatype moves and the Cast a Spell move.

Thanks, and stay hidden in the shadows.

So, I love props.

So, I love props. Threw this together this morning as a way of tracking Cred. Please note that I know absolutely zero about Chinese characters so that part is complete gibberish and/or potentially offensive.

I invite any critique or ideas others might have.

If anyone speaks Chinese or can point me in the direction of a reliable translation resource, please let me know.

I had some problems with making Legwork and Action Clocks properly visible for the players on the table.

I had some problems with making Legwork and Action Clocks properly visible for the players on the table. So I made this and put some improvised tokens on it. Maybe you will find it useful too!
