SR5 or 6 request

Hi folks,

Obviously I'm looking for a Shadowrun game. I'd like to keep it simple & have it based in Seattle. To avoid the infamous "planning stages game death" I'm thinking the game could start by using some of the Missions to get the ball rolling before we go sandbox. This has worked with another game I'm in, which has lasted for going on two years now.

Fingers crossed.

Edit: Since my overtime got paid this month, I've got my paws on the 6th edition corebook so I'd be up for taking that for a test drive too.

I'm pretty interested in giving 6e a run for it's money, though I'd have to throw some house rules at it to really get it to work properly. Not sure if I want to run it right yet, but I might be down for playing and testing out some house rules I have in mind if someone's interested in hearing me out and running things.

I'm interested but running too many F2F games to have time to plan a SR game.

Im a second player though if someone picks up the GM hat.

I have 6E too and am currently reading through it. I'm in the same position as wolf_fighter_yugo, namely trying to figure out what's functional, what's broken, and how to fix it. The House Rules thread on the official forums has some interesting ideas.

I'd be interested as a 5e player. Fixing 6e seems to be the less charted undertaking.

That looks like a minimum of three potential players, almost a working team for someone to sic the Red Samurai etc. on.

Bump, and dusting this off a bit.

I have an itch to try 6E but I'm already GMing two games of 5E, so I'm hesitant to add a third full game.

That said, I'd potentially be interested in co-GMing, or passing GM duties back and forth between multiple people. One possibility is that I have lots of house rule ideas and it sounds like @wolf_fighter_yugo does too. Maybe we could work out simple encounters where we could test them, like bar brawls or in media res scenarios where we start in the middle of the action.

Does that sound interesting to anyone, particularly any potential co-GMs?

Re: SR5 or 6 request

For any potential GMs, how about the Fast Food Fight scenario from the QSRs?

I'm resurrecting this thread, as the game I was in seems to have croaked. Looking for a good home for a former wage-mage leaning towards a support role rather than a kablooey magician.

You're welcome to check out my game here: link to another game

I'm not running SR5 or SR6.  I'm using the Sixth World hack of Dungeon World (PbtA) blackbox (no PC rolls), but if you think you could make the adjustment, I've been thinking of starting up a 2-player magic heavy demonic cult investigation storyline set in occupied San Fransisco.  I think it would be perfect place for a non-kablooey type magician.

Character generation and 'edge' make 6E unplayable for me.

5E is wonderful, but 5E games I've been in on RPoL (15+) never have passed beyond the first scene. However, I would love to try yet again.

SR5 or 6 request

I'll say what I said six months ago (ah, a different world) which is that I'm interested in 6E and even willing to GM, but I'd want it to be on a rotating basis.

That said, I'm at least two months out from being able to commit to anything. The current craziness of the world is a major reason.

I'm also compiling a list of potential house rules for 6E, so it definitely wouldn't be a pure Rules as Written version of the game. Chargen, melee combat, armor, Edge accumulation and Edge actions are all current candidates for revision, and that list would likely grow over the coming months.

I'm also interested in some alternate systems in the same setting, like Shadowrun in the Sprawl or Karma in the Dark. That said, I haven't even scratched the surface of those rules systems yet, so that would take some time that I don't currently have. (@cailin, that game looks neat and I want to read through some of the threads.)

In reply to Tecumseh (msg # 23):

Thanks!

If you go toward Shadowrun in the Sprawl let me know, I’d love to check it out!

Best suggestion I've never tried; don't let the group go into analysis paralysis while planning. Get the broad strokes out, and then establish each PC as having a pool of wild card resources that can be used to retcon their own style of legwork and planning into the mission as it progresses.
