Fiction Day! - Session #1 of Android RPG pt.1

Sci-fi Noir Fun times!

Ding! Icarus pulled out his pad from a pocket. The message notification light shown a dull red. "Seraphina has a job for me, Nice." She wanted him to come down from level 55 where he roomed in an apartment with no questions asked to the park down on level 5 where she built up her market. It comprised a collection of stalls and merchants who sold legally questionable merchandise and information. Icarus bought and sold there frequently, they didn't mind his clone heritage. There were 2 other names on the message Icarus didn't know. "This must be important. She knows I work alone." One check on his watch confirmed it, there wasn't time to kill.

Fiction Day! - Android: Net runner fun times, character study.

Icarus watched the guard and waited. The Guard’s lazy patrol meandered from the front entrance to the alley on the right side of the building. To an unassuming observer, he looked alert and ready for anything. However, on closer inspection one could tell the earbuds the guard used spouted some atrocious audio book, and he kept checking his Pad for his step count. Icarus checked his watch too, out of habit. It took the man 145 seconds to make the lap. “Time to go.” Snatching the curriers hat off the trashcan, Icarus started on a brisk jog #3 towards the doors. The guard still needed to travel half way back to the doors. Icarus stood, waiting at the door and fidgeting. The performance would be noticeable to any other Hermes, but the guard surely would just see another messenger clone waiting to move.

Gonna start a new RPG!

So coming up in the near future is going to be a a new RPG group (to me) and we are going to run a Android Genesys game setting. Session Zero is up coming so were going to start planning what I want to roll with now. For those of you not in the know, Session zero is a preliminary meeting where you all plan characters and get an Idea of what you as a group want to do, and in this case I'll be meeting some of the group here for the first time as well. There is normally zero role playing going on, and more just making sure everyone is on the same page. Not every group needs a really formal session, especially if the full group has played together before. I have done groups where both have and haven't done them and it has been fine for that group. Its more important for game systems that are more open, like Genesys, BESM, or Gurps. You don't want someone bringing a full conversion cyborg to your fantasy punk golem noir game... Which I did, because the rules allowed it. Or the time I brought a very much fantasy Fairy to a pretty hard Sci-fi setting. 

Look, mistakes were made. Even if they were super memorable and super entertaining for the group.
