B-211: Spanial (Zarg’s World Highport)
Zoner!
You texted:
Sowe’re coming up on the point where Lia will need to buy more Zoner!
Remind me of the options again? I know we discussed removing the hallucinogenicproperty and there was also some discussion of price altering or pointsexchange but I seem to have lost the thread of how all of connect…
Reproduced from B-033:
GM Makes an Error
So, I realised writing the above page that I actually made Zoner! a Very Expensive rather than an Expensive drug with regard to what’s being charged per hit. A Zoner! addiction is actually a -25 point Disadvantage not a -15 point one.
Would you like:
- Zoner! continues to be a Very Expensive drug
- Lia can have 10 points to spend (subject to maintaining character consistency)
- Zoner! becomes an Expensive drug and the game world subtly retrospectively alters such that the same economic pressures that drove her decisions still applied at the time
- Lia will shortly come into an unexpected monetary windfall to the value of what she’s overspent on Zoner! OR
Lia will shortly come into an unexpected windfall of extra Zoner! hits
I note also that Zoner!, although a hallucinogen, has no point cost for the Hallucinogenic effect (-10) and have modified the rule accordingly so Lia can probably shrug off its effects of she needs to. Are you OK with that change?
Also refer new page on Recreational Drugs.
For cost matters, I have updated Lia’s Accounting page.
Zael’s Catalogue Sales
No response is required unless she wishes to decline and send Money. If she accepts she’s considered paid-up for the period to Lia Day 90.
However, I just realised it’s Lia Day 99 and her next payment after that is already due…
See Accounting Page link, above.
Cargo Search
Karmen will want to check in around end of Green Shift/start of Blue Shift to see how Lia has progressed.
Martell Bartman-Jira
A response come back within a few Tasks. He asks if she’s free to meet at the Traveller’s Cafe in the Highport at the start of Blue Shift?
I’m still torn about the Zoner! The points option is the obvious easy fix since I would just add a point to her Strength, thereby only affecting play during combat but the price alteration offers entertaining story options… Does my GM have any preference?
Is there an option to send Zael’s Catalogue a payment for the previous debt and accept the instruction for this next debt? If so, that’s what she’ll do.
She will respond in the positive to the meeting at the start of Blue shift but perhaps give herself a small window in case her meeting with Karmen runs long. She will also ask for directions to the location.
She will meet with Karmen at the end of Green.
Scratch the message to Farbello. Apologies for the confusion! However, I did very much enjoy the map and all of its connections. 😉
Sigh 16 vs 18 for Sex Appeal. My rolls have been sub par lately.
