Had my first session of a Neotech campaign a few days ago. I ended up with a character that is a professor in Genetics Technology while at the same time having a PSY rating of 3... out of 18... It basically means I am either shrubbery level intelligent or completely insane, or both. Anyways, the other characters of the campaign contacted me about trying to make sense of some incredibly advanced and incredibly illegal research data the netrunner character had pilfered and we ended up going to my office in the university. All of a sudden four SUV's filled with corporate security show up and start bounding towards my office.
Seeing as I am not the brightest of fellows (we came to the conclusion that I had gotten to my position in part by stealing research from others and from being protected by an older world leading professor that had taken me under his wing due to guilt from his failed experiments on me as a child.) I suggested jumping from the windows. Another character that had rolled himself a lowlife failed businessman with SEVERE alcohol problems took me up on that and tried to climb down, fumbled his climb check (think critical failure from D&D) and then fumbled his freefall check and ended up rolling terribly on the damage tables as he hit the ground.
At this point I pulled the fire alarm and tried to get us out by blending in to the crowd as the building got evacuated, only one of the other characters had rolled FOUR different psychosis and phobias during her upbringing, one of which was a fear of water, which meant that even the thought of a sprinkler system sent her into a panic and she bursted out like a bullet out of hell.
Both her and the drunkard managed to stumble themselves in the end to the gathering point and they blended in to the crowd of students only the drunkard, feeling brave decided to throw a knife at the one goon left guarding the SUVs and well... it didn't work out too well. The girl got captured and the drunkard got shot eight times and managed to overkill his Trauma bars by 35 points. (In Neotech you do not have hitpoints per sé, instead you have different metrics for how much Trauma, Blood Loss, Pain, Psychological damage and exhaustion you can take.) This guy had taken a hard fall, a shot to the leg followed up by three shots to various parts on the left arm, one shot on the right arm, one shot in the chest, one shot in the head and one shot straight in the spine.
Me and the remaining party member tried to get out more calmly but had to hide in another office as the goons came to search my corner office. Being stuck between a hard fall and three goons with mp5's we decided the better part of valor was fleeing. None of us had any combat experience, I was as I said an unstable professor and the other guy was a playboy, think bruce wayne without the batman.
We also tried climbing down the side of the building, we also fell, but luckily we both rolled pretty much perfectly on our damage tables and took just minor impact damage to our arms and legs and managed to get away.
TPK averted!
