I should also note while the stats for Yas, Graham, and the Doctor were provided straight from the book, and there were descriptions of what the characters are like, the players ran them the way they wanted to, rather than trying to play the characters as written. Rather than lecture them, I rolled with it, and I think it was a good decision. Now I'd like to run a campaign where each player creates a Doctor and several companions, with the character of the Doctor rotating among the players. This solves the problem of needing to be an expert on whichever canon Doctor is in the game, because it's always an original, and the rotation allows each player a chance to be the Doctor and significantly more knowledgeable and powerful than their companions. In other words, it normalizes what players will want to do anyway.

Does anyone know if Cubicle 7 still gas a standard message board, or have they moved to Discord? Because the "monster" of the story sounds like it might interest other gamemasters.I should also note while the stats for Yas, Graham, and the Doctor were provided straight from the book, and there were descriptions of what the characters are like, the players ran them the way they wanted to, rather than trying to play the characters as written.

I usually only buy role-playing books that I think I’ll actually use at the gaming table. I don’t really see that happening here. However, the preview images look absolutely adorable and atmospheric. So thanks for your review!

Clearly [user=fflowolff] knows how to do this because he is doing it right now. Devon, care to share how you are doing this with the rest of the class?
I could be wrong, but I have two guesses / two ways I would do it:
1) Multiple tabs so you can easily copy and paste boiler plate across all you entries and then just going tab by tab in succession and submitting them one at a time.
2) Already has the condition info in their "trade condition" section of their collection entries and is using the OLWLG to post to this geeklist.
--- 2a) You can use the " box with a green + " icon on any trade to add games marked for trade from your collection to a math trade geeklist. The default is for it to populated the geeklist item with the game's trade condition from your collection.
--- 2b) The geeklist id can be found in the web address and you can simply modifiy it with whatever geeklist ID you want to dump items onto
--- 2c) This trade = https://bgg.activityclub.org/olwlg/addmygames.cgi?listid=371...
--- 2d) at that point you can run it just like item 1 on my list and paste your boiler plate for your Origins VFM conditions/meetup locations/etc
Yulgame (link in header) offers a happy middle ground for creating quicklistings, iirc is based off your games that are marked for trade.

Back in the days of D&D 3/3.5, the richest PCs in Living Greyhawk were around 10 to 20k gp.
In a campaign of AD&D, a character of mine - a dwarven fighter - established a hold beneath Waterdeep itself - as retirement. I estimate the total amount were more then 100k gp.
Right now in a D&D 5e campaign, recently the group smashed up an Amethyste golem/elemental of some kind^^. We just skipped the smaller shards and were around 5000 gp each. But most of it went into purchases of magic stuff. And we were honest enough, to warn the people we payed with the gemstones that a slight surplus on the gem-market might lessen the value of Amethyste a little bit^^
In general, PCs in any D&D game tend to re-invest all the treasure they find quite fast. I haven't yet found a really greedy character . . seem not to fit our kind of gaming style.

Wow. That is absurd. 1% for the team maybe but 1% each? Whoever wrote that . . . 1/20th of the voting rights of a corp is enough to swing close boardroom vote and to give that to a bunch of jumped up criminals? Since I had a copy of the adventure on PDF, I went and looked it up, and yup, just as silly as you said. I also love that there is literally no advice as to what happens next after you give the characters millions of NuYen and possibly a major chunk of a AA corporation beyond:
Even a "pittance" of 5M NuYen per character is game-changing and I love that they just handwave it away with, "Oh, don't go to the meet alone, you'll be fine." That is totally abdicating responsibility for a situation they have created. Mind boggling.

The richest we got in-game was also Shadowrun - we were playing the Boston Lockdown, and in the end there is a small bidding war the Players are the beneficaries of. All Megacorps want what they have, and one of them offers 1% of their stock for each team member! That's not something our GM pulled out of thin air without realizing that it would make our team holders of 5% of one of the most powerful AA corps, that is a reward that is very much really in the book. The measly 1-5 Million the other corps offer pale in comparison, so that the decision was basically a no-brainer. We retired afterwards.

Once the runners have made their decision, it is a simple matter of setting up a meet spot to make the exchange and possibly fulfill any other promises the winning corporation has made. This meeting doesn’t have to be smooth; there are plenty of other interested parties that might try to horn in on the deal. As long as the runners were not foolish enough to ask to meet alone, whoever they are selling to will gladly help them survive the encounter just in case the runners lined up a double-cross or some kind of code on the data they may need later.
