After being away from RPOL for a number of months (for various and sundry reasons too boring to get into here) I am back and considering running Shadowrun. I always told myself that I would wait for someone else to run it and play before I ran it but since that seems like it will happen sometime between never and not at all I decided that that was dumb. I've played the videogames - love Dragonfall - and read the lore for years.
Now before I go any further let me lay out a few things:
- This is something that I am not in a hurry to start. It may be three weeks to a month before I do if there is enough interest.
- This will be a Mature game barring player desire.
- This will be a game where the players get to choose the missions they go on in character. The players will be offered jobs in game and they will have the choice. There will be an overarcing plot but it's not a railroad.
Now for the question. I have never played a non-videogame version of Shadowrun so I will have to learn the system before starting the game. So the questions is what version of the game would people want to play? I have access to all of them from 1st edition's Neuromaner & Punk Rock lovechild to 5e's new AR modeled world to the Powered by the Apocalypse the Sixth World cover of Shadowrun.
So would you be interested in a Shadowrun game? And if so what edition would you prefer?
