Two posts in a month or so!! Woah....:)
We seem to be running about twice a month (game time). The downtime
we use to heal, restock, and train.
>How long does a run take? Legwork? Execution?
Depends...lately anywhere from 3 days to a week. But sometimes its
overnight.
>How much do they get paid? Base pay, expenses?
We've gotten paid anywhere from 5K to 40K. Sometimes we
negotiate medical. It sounds like alot. But by the time we bribe, pay
contacts, and pick up extra gear...we probably blow 20% of any
payment during the actual run.
>How many runners are there in Seattle?
Depends...wannabe's or real runners. :)
I'd say the real runner population is perhaps in the 500 range.
Wannabe's....who knows.
But these are off the top of my head.
>How many corps? (How often do they get hit? How high are their
black-ops budgets?)
All the major corps have some location in Seattle, and plenty of minor
ones do as well. As far as budget...I'd say as much as the GM wants
them to have. During quiet time, it might be low. During the recent corp
war it might be as much as necessary.
This also depends on whether you playing a high or low end game.
My team made 40k each on the last run. By the time we restocked,
cyberware, surgery, magic, training, cost of living....it just depends.
Some characters have no money and karma (samurai).
My shaman has money but no karma. (And those damn foci are
expensive)
In a previous game that was low end, if we got 5k a run, we were
rich! But in that game a shotgun went a looong way.
