The Gaming Den

I have used one time pads as a subset of EUE because it is easy to explain and thus works well in a movie style decryption paradigm. I steered clear of making up stuff for EUE since I wanted to the spotlight to be compatible with whatever Frank happens to have halfwritten on his harddrive. So the as...

If the transceiver has an hour's worth of key, listening to Joe for only a few minutes will let you decode the part that you already know - which is not particularly useful. One-time pads are unbreakable specifically because there is no correlation at all between any two parts of the key, and knowi...

How is Seize Network supposed to interact with Technomancers effectively being in contact range with anyone who is in their signal range? Wouldn't this allow them to boot people out of their PAN even if they are using Datajacks? Equipment Spotlight: Micro Transceivers Transceivers are the 2070's des...

Every forum other than About the Gaming Den has been in maintenance mode for me since a time coinciding with the move.

I thought it was intentional.

Works for me.

Unless it happens to be part of the focus of a particular run I do not want to have worry about which way a particular batch of packets happen to travel. Thus I´d choose the abritrary number 30,000 km. This would allow geostationary objects to be safe from groundbased matrix and magic attacks, keepi...

Also moving or repeating the info about number of programs being able to be sustained in the system paragraph would help with finding it.

The same one policing bike helmets.

Pushing off he starts taking long strokes towards the bridge. He switches his current equipment to his trusty shotgun and pulls out a couple of bandages just in case. Derek has is sustaining 3 programs at the moment, Armor and Biofeedback Filter and the Find Mind he started earlier. Now that he has...

The problem I have isn´t that you can put stuff in a metal box and then it is immune to hacking. My problem is with stuff in metal box working just well as if it weren´t. The ability to run around in wifi painted heavy armor has the drawback of the opposition calling the red guard to take you down. ...

Using the highlight a target free action would require the drone to be part your network which it can´t be since it would require hi-fi signals. Having a scheme where you send the drone an actual picture of the guy you want to be shot, does not require you to have hifi access to the drone you´re mic...

I´d rather not play with completely unhackable drones than with them. Fucking up machinery is kind of what hackers do for a living and going ahead and WiFi painting them so they only react to the lofi signal of "targeting lock on that dude" takes nothing away from the rigger commanding a d...

Continuinig my tactic of throwing stuff upon the wall in the hopes of something sticking. Sample Run Part 1: After sneaking onto Mitsuhamas sprawling Tenochtitlan campus the target building supposedly containing their extraction target lies close. Time for a last checkup. While the wizboy decides to...

I´ve missed mentioning all three sample characters are humans with edge 5, so there´s enough points left to make them metahuman, or to add skills/equipment. also all of them have piad for the follwing starter package: SIN 4,Middle Lifestyle, Honda Spirit, Armor Jacket, Medkit 6, 3x Stimpatch R6, Tra...

Yes. We are saying the same thing using different words.

The FastCGI Handler Extension timeouts are back with a vengeance.

More doublepost usage: The Codesamurai "I will cut you" To the Codesamurai the Matrix is a Battlefield. He uses his superior skill to demolish his opposition and takes his loot afterwards. Attributes (200BP) Body 3 Agility 3 (6) Reaction 4 Strength 2 (5) Charisma 3 Intuition 4 Logic 5 (7) ...

Putting those doubleposts to some use: Riggers: DICEPOOLS Since a rigger is effectively in VR when jumping into a drone he uses his matrix attributes instead of his physical attributes when a test is called for. Jumping into a Drone is a Simple Action. You may still issue commands to other drones su...

Thoughts? I´ve thought along similar lines but doesn't that just force you to trick the sensor instead of the actual device? Meaning you still have to obtain a valid retinascan but then tell the camera to send the one sitting in your memory instead of the one its actually seeing. The only way out I...

Mostly stuff that would make using Ends of Matrix easier for people starting to use it: - Examples. - Spelling out drone dicepools. - Revisiting what happens with IC in a node being run by a live metahuman - Clarification on the difference between what Forge Credentials gets you as opposed to Jedi T...

I just sat down for an hour and my impression so far is that it comes across as rather piecemeal publication. Many of the new rules seem to come with a fair amount of bookkeeping baggage, and I get the impression of trying to bring back the SR3 decker that sits at home and does his thing while the r...

Would you allow a full defense test to sub in for the vehicle test ?

Did the reducing drones to 2 IP's take into account the mandatory vehicle test vehicle is supposed to take every turn (p. 160 BBB), effectively reducing drones to one IP per turn ?

Thank you for sorting it out.

I'm repeatedly getting this error when trying to open threads: 500 Server Error FastCGI Handler Extension Error 0x80070102 occurred processing request.
