I came up with a character for an S/R game. The GM had more players than needed, so mine did not make the cut. Now that I have her in my head, I really want to play her.

Shadowrun
Any edition, but I only have 1-3, so help with 4 and 5 would be nice.
GM limitations are good, so give us parameters and stick to it.
Small group, 3-5 players.

So lets do some shadowruns, chummers!

Please rmail me if you are interested.

I would be interested in the game. I like to do a variety of characters except net runners.

Shadowrun has huge amounts of player interest, and very few GM sadly.  When a new game does come along, it tends to fill quickly.

Yup.  That's 90% of why I decided to run that game in the first place.  I'd much rather be a player, but ... if NOONE steps up to the GM screen, NOONE ever gets to play.

So me, I'm hoping to bank some good karma, so that next time around I can be on the players' side of the table, again.  :)

well getting me experience as a player would help!
I'd be willing to run but I don't understand the system well enough and I don't want toput out 60+ bucks for a book I may never use cus my irl group has no interest in shadowrun (which I personally don't understand)

The main problem I have had in the past when running Shadowrun has always been that planning a run always are no problem. Then as the action in itself and the run starts and the drive of the game goes over to the players people stop posting and the game dies.

I could set one up if interest exist but I don't think it should revolve around the runs in themselves. The story would instead be on the characters part of the game, their life and the problem this life have. The runs in themselves I would try to go through very quickly not sure how exactly at this stag

So the initial premise for this game would be:

4 characters with heavy connections between them
Shadowrun 5 + splat books
only standard races
each player needs to know their character's "class rules"

Would people be interested of a game like this?

I geuss it depends on what you mean by 'class rules'

Sure, but understand I have no experience in 5e. Please rmail me if you get this one up and going, OK?

In reply to Gamer75 (msg # 7):

IF you are playing a decker you as player should know how decking works.

Still looking any takers?

In reply to johanfk (msg # 9):

oh sure I thought maybe it was an in game slangterm I was not familiar with
hey doom I am sorry but I can't run I dn't have the experience or I would try

if something gets going let me know I'd love to play, and once I have played more I may be able to run some time

I have a question for johank.  If you're going to skip the runs, why does a player need to know his "class" rules?  It would almost seem to be the very opposite...that one doesn't need to know their "class" rules.  Also, the format might be a bit boring for the sammies and phys adepts, who shine most during the actual runs.

I'm still looking for this one.

Add me to the ranks of players looking. I just thought I was in a game but it looks like it's dead. If anyone wants to GM, I'd like to get some Shadowrun on.

Seems like a GM here would have a pretty good group ready to play!

I'm GMing a non-traditional Shadowrun game about vampire hunters, and we're currently looking for magical support.  If you're interested shoot me a rmail.

I'm interested in joining a new shadowrun game!

Still hoping to find something Shadow Run!

I might be willing to run a game, I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to play in it though. I'm fairly new to shadowrun and by that I mean that I haven't played it IRL yet, just a bit here on rpol. I'm following several podcasts about it though and I've played Returns, Dragonfall and I'm playing Hong Kong currently, so I feel I have an at least decent grasp of the world. I've been a GM for several years (mostly in DnD) so I think I could manage it, but it would be something of an experiment.

I haven't had the time to read up on all the material and lore (and I probably won't have for some time) so I'll probably have the game set somewhere in Europe, where there isn't as much lore so we'll all be on the same page so to speak, and I'll just make things up when needed. It would be a 5e game without metavariants, no infected or surged players or things like that (mostly to make it easier for me) and it would basically start with the players being recruited to their first ever shadowrun.

Would any of you still be interested?

yes

Yes!

I am going to Rmail you as well Kurodani. I have questions:

1. Do all the PCs have to be from Europe?

2.a What is the theme you have in mind?
2.b Do you have a superheroes theme in mind?
2.c Do you have a more gritty theme in mind, more like super anti-heroes?

Just a quick answer to doom29169



No, as long as you have a reason to be where the character is now (haven't decided where exactly yet) your origin doesn't matter. Knowing the local language might help though.



I'm not sure yet what theme it will be, but definitely not superheroes. With Shadowrun you usually talk about pink mohawk vs black trenchcoat, and I'm probably leaning towards the latter. Then it's up to the players if you want to go by some kind of moral compass or if you want to be ruthless murderers working for anyone with enough money, or something completely different. Maybe vigilantes trying to purge the streets of injustice, it's completely up to the players.

Since there is at least some interest I'll start trying putting something together, I'll keep you posted.

You have my interest as well. Please alert me in Rmail when you have more information. Thank You.

I'd absolutely be interested!

I might be interested in this, depending on where the group is wanting to take it.

I'd definitely be keen to play!

Finding interested players for a Shadowrun game is usually not a problem. =)

Just to give you guys an update; I'm still around and I'm still planning to get a game going. I'm currently very busy IRL though, so it might take some time before I can get it started. Right now I'm leaning towards setting the game in Spain, Austria, Denmark or the UK. Not sure which one though...

In reply to Kurodani (msg # 29):

Being Danish it would be fun with a game set in Denmark instead of the usual UCAS. Of course I have never played Shadowrun so I would be a total newbie :)

I also think either Denmark or the UK would be cool

Denmark it is then. I'm Swedish myself, so that's a bit "closer to home" anyway so to speak.

It's not hard to find players, but it's difficult to find gms that are willing to take the time to host the game. Most of the ones that I get involved with just deadline way too easily.

In reply to Rude Stray (msg # 33):

The problem I have had is no post rate outside of Chargen. That and I tend to run older editions of Shadowrun.

In reply to Knight_Vassal (msg # 34):

I only have older books so lol
I'm surpised to hear of post rate dropping off from players in my experience shadowrun is the most active type of game usually
tho my experience is admitadly far too low cus I rarely get in to those games

Old shadowrun seems to fair a little better as far as deckers goes. Right now the matrix stuff is kinda dumb with the whole wireless thing, since as far as my understanding go they want to remove running wires.

all I'm saying is if someone will help me with character creation I'll be a heck of a dedicated player and baesd on how much time doom has put into trying to find something I'm bettinge they will be to...

In reply to Rude Stray (msg # 36):

'Dumb' is subjective. Shadowrun 5e is a future beyond the point where wired connections are primarily catered to by corporations.

I've done it! The game page is created and I'm ready to accept RTJ's. Before I flag my game as looking for players I'd like to give the people here a chance to join, since you guys supported me and actually got me to do this. It might take some more time before we actually start playing, but start sending me those RTJ's and give me something to work with. So here's the link: link to another game

I'm looking for 4-5 players, just so you know.

Kurodani has been helping me make my character up so I can vouche for him being a nice dude :O) very patient

The game is already more than full, so please don't send more RTJ's. If we need more players later on I'll flag the game as looking for players.
