Shadowrun RPG

Shadowrun is a game set in the 2080s. It's in a cyberpunk world like Blade Runner or Altered Carbon. The difference is that magic also returned to the world. I think this image of an elf taking on an attack droid sums it up:

The beginners box set for the new edition just came out, so it's not actually possible to make a character yet. You just take one of the pre-supplied ones. There are only four pre-supplied characters, but I'll take on more people if you're happy being essentially the same character as somebody else.

The characters are:

American Troll Cyber-Samurai
American Ork Combat Mage
African Dwarf Hacker
Cantonese Cybernetic Elf Spy

The story starts off with a shootout that the characters get caught up in when shopping.

No need to know the rules.

Fourier · 04-08-2019 11:18PM

Four on board, so that's one for each role, but ye can double up if ye want.

Others can still join and yes dear reader that means you.

Baggly · 04-08-2019 11:28PM

Mage please

Necro · 04-08-2019 11:39PM

tusk if you wanna be the samurai I can be a dwarf I guess.

It's kind of a thing anyways with me and dwarves :cool:

tusk · 05-08-2019 05:32AM

I'll be frost burn for the craic

tusk · 05-08-2019 05:32AM

Oh wait. Baggly picked that. I don't mind what I am

Fourier · 05-08-2019 01:32PM

What pace would people feel able to handle? In the evenings and fast or 1-3 posts per day or what?

Or another possibility is 5-10 posts a day but we wait until others have responded. It's a style I've tried recently. Basically people post when they want and I respond but the story doesn't really get ahead of anybody as I stop responding if others are behind and wait for them. Works very well when people split up.

I like this.

Necro · 05-08-2019 01:37PM

Yeah happy to go with the second option Four

Banjo · 05-08-2019 02:12PM

Beggin' your pardon sir.

I heard you had nice warm RPG and I'm ever so cold....

Fourier · 05-08-2019 03:04PM

So five now. Choices are:

American Troll Cyber-Samurai (Necro)
American Ork Combat Mage (Baggly, tusk)
African Dwarf Hacker
Cantonese Cybernetic Elf Spy (sKeith)

Banjo undetermined. tusk if you want to switch or stick to Mage either is fine.

Banjo · 05-08-2019 03:13PM

I'll take african dwarf hacker.

Let me go and learn some pidgeon Yoruba... Ok, done!
Inu mi dun si patta yo game sah!

tusk · 05-08-2019 04:06PM

5-10 should be fine for me

tusk · 05-08-2019 04:08PM

well we've got one of each now, so which would make most sense to double up on?

Necro · 05-08-2019 04:09PM

Whichever one you prefer tusk

Baggly · 05-08-2019 04:11PM

4 is a good number for the party so stay mage tusk and I'll step out. I've WW games to mod coming up anyway so there is a chance I stepped forward in excitement when I shouldn't have. Hope that's OK with you Four.

tusk · 05-08-2019 04:13PM

nah I'm happy to bow out baggers. I'm doing Necro's anyway

you go ahead!

Baggly · 05-08-2019 04:16PM

Not at all tusk honestly I've a lot on at the mo. I wouldn't have done it justice.

Rightcha be so!

sKeith · 05-08-2019 04:22PM

2 mages maji wizardy people are better than one. The party is stronger with both of ye.

Fourier · 05-08-2019 04:35PM

Yeah you're grand Baggly, when does the WW game start?

Sat/sun week. But it's more the setup and writing that I'm looking to get done between now and then.

Fourier · 05-08-2019 04:43PM

How would this suit:

The adventure sort of has an intro + the actual mission itself. You could opt out of the intro to run WW with ease and then pop back in during the bit before the mission itself. I'd have a very natural way (in terms of the story) of inserting you at that point.
