You can’t make stir-fry without breaking a few chickens
Catchup gaming session last night to get back on our two-week schedule. I had the first episode of the new adventure plotted out, so of course we spent the evening copying characters to the new sheets and spending karma and nuyen. Still, the socializing was good as always, so it wasn’t a wasted evening. Must remember to give fixitup and/or ptownhiker ‘gamemaster bribery’ karma for bringing the Oreos.
The new sheets went over pretty well. I still have to fix the cyberdeck section before I’m at the 1.0 version, but since none of the players physically present are deckers, I can finish that before I send a copy to Amy. Celia came over with her guy Rip to get character descriptions from folks; she wants to do portraits of our runners to get back into her art groove. Looks like she’ll start with Jesse and unit_9. She may play some NPCs for me or do ‘special guest star’ duties when we’re missing a player.
Inspired by a comment of rattrap‘s, I ran the old “Gentleman’s Agreement” Shadowrun short film to close the evening. People were exclaming, “That’s Kim Green! That’s James Dunson!” The Video Toaster CGI received compliments as well. Sadly, the copy I showed is overly dark and heavily compressed; if I can find a cleaner one, and no one involved in the project objects, I’ll try to put it up on YouTube.
We still need a team name for this group. Maybe we can come up with one in the next two weeks.

You know, all things considered, it really wasn’t that bad an effort in retrospect, keeping in mind the skill sets we had available, not to mention the tech level. It was top of the line small studio at the time, but when I think about what we could have done if we could have shot it in Mini-DV and edited it in iMovie, much less Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
Then too, I also look at the level of modeling in the animation and twitch, until I look at any of the contemporary television work (if I remember correctly, only the B5 pilot had aired at the time). I look at the Librescu and Thunderchild and shudder, but without “Gentleman’s Agreement” to build on, I never would have gotten there.
Go ahead and post it. I’ve seen much worse.
