In reply to Tipihome (msg # 1):

You should specify which edition of Shadowrun you wish to play.  It may affect who can offer to GM.

I was in a street-level Shadowrun game but the GM recently shut it down due to RL. I would be interested in playing if a game starts up.

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

I'm a sucker for puppy dogs and orphans apparently.

That's why I'm considering taking a stab at GMing this game. Some RL issues may make the launch a bit slow, but I'm looking for some indication of what kind of game everyone is looking for. There a hundred books out there with dozensof options.

What floats your boat?

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

Well, the I don't really have any major preferences. Just want to Run with some old friends. :)

But if pushed...I'm always a sucker for a a seemingly standard game...with a TWIST! If that makes any sense.

Like if this was D&D, we all start in a bar...except none of us remembers how we got there. And the staff says we've always been there. That kind of thing.

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

I am comfortable with many Shadowrun scenarios. From 'you are runners hired by Mr Johnson'. To 'you are members of a startup defending your patch from others' to 'corporate security'.

I am uncomfortable with 'wetwork' aka hired to kill someone. Much happier with 'extractions' and 'theft'.

Extractions and theft are just fine. Corporate espionage. We don't have to be assassins.  I'm with DJ, I think we all just would love to Run together, doing basic stuff from the ground up. SINless bastards that we all are xD

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

Runners for a Mr. Johnson, a mix of "meeting for the first time" and "have known each other for a while" type stuff sounds good. The usual bag of nonsense. Seamstress' Union in Seattle, some dive bar wherever. Wake up in a horrible cyber-labyrinth and have to prove our skills to leave... whatever, man.

How about the game opens up after we have completed our last Run, we all go to the same street Doc because we feel like drek afterward, and then we find out that one of the sample vials that got hit during our shooting retreat was filled with VITAS-3, and now we are all infected. With only six days in order to live, we only have a line on one potential prototype treatment, but there is only enough for three of us. And during the Run, we have to figure out which one of us gets the potential cure, and which of us don't.

Fun? Or sad?

OR!

How about there is an Awakened serial killer out there whose particular compulsion makes them target Shadowrunners, because he thinks they are a blight on society, and another arm of the corporate state. So the game is a cat-and-mouse mystery, where the Shadowrunner players are actually on the defensive for most of the game. Because usually we are heisting, wetworking, or hooding, which means we are usually the proactive ones. This would a different kind of flavor.

Fun? Or too scary?

Bleh. It's taking a lot more time, effort and energy to hammer out the game details and character sheet. Real Life has also been pounding me down more than I expected.

Anyway, here's the link to the game: link to another game

Further discussion should take place in the OOC thread. If anyone is still interested, see you there!

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

Soooo...I just found, by chance all my books for SR4 - and I have always wanted to run a game and give it my best shot at it.

The thing is, the timing is a tad off - I am looking at around 14 days to begin with before I can safely know if I can commit to running a game or not.

It is not much, but I do have the means and materials to do so.

Just to align, what is expected - a takeover of an old run, a new game, and what level of advancement are the group at? Fresh of the table or with some experience to their name?

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

We're happy to be patient, man. A new game is fine. Characters are made already. Mine is basically just the Combat Mage out of the 4e corebook with a different spell selection, for an idea on advancement. Chars are pretty fresh, consequently. A mission or two behind them, some knowledge of one another, like that.

Re: Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

Right, let's not beat around the bush any further.
I have never run Shadowrun 4ed via pnb; however I am keen on trying. The start of the week is busy for me, but rather than drawing it out - once ready I will create a game, and post the link here. I will make the application process swift, mainly focused on those who had a character first and foremost and align from there. If we have space left or similar, we can align on requirements for further players(current advancement etc).

All I ask, is patience, and one or a few of the rules can do my head in, and for this I implore what I have done in all other games I run, and that is shared community and open talks/discussions to align on how stuff should work and run.
I am huge on everyone having a fun time, ahead of heavy rules first so to speak, and will bend or adapt on the fly if needs be to make it more enjoyable for all involved.

So I am committed to making it fun, and try my hardest to achieve this.
Hold for updates, and if you can, verify character sheets etc are ready ahead of time, assuming possible.

Shadowrun: seeking GM for team

In reply to Tipihome (msg # 1):

I'm a disabled army vet with time on my hands. I can run. I've never done a PbEM before so you will have to help me out here. I'm vaguely familiar with Shadowrun, I played it once. I prefer my cyberpunk without magic but I can try.

I've been a DM for 30 years, since D&D and Traveler.

In the initial encounter, you're hanging back at your crews nightclub in LA when a woman in a hospital gown rushes in. She looks around, sees the table with the Most Badass Players In The Room, and comes straight to your table. "You've got to help me, Ive been kidnapped by a cult! They need this..." she exclaims and hands one of you a necklace with an odd stone on it.

Right then, two guys in hospital orderly outfits, followed a Suit, walk into the bar. They look around and see her. "That's her!" and the suit is holding out a badge. "We're from the St. Mark's mental hospital, we're just taking her back" as they approach your table.

We can start the game at that point.

So how does this place actually work? Can someone give me tips? I'll check in daily.
