So the idea is that the team isn't just pulling Shadowrun jobs, but are actually recording BTL (better than life) sim experiences to sell. So the team not only needs to be able to complete the mission, but they need to look good doing it. Bring on the movie magic, the trick reloads, and waitress seductions.

I am thinking of starting the game as 5E prime runner so that the characters are capable enough to get the job done and also win rating. Successful mission or not, the runners will earn extra cash based on how big of a show they put on. Style wise it would be mirror shades with a streak of pink mowhawk.

Thinking of the game name being TactiCool. Kinda cheesy, but appropriate? Thoughts? Ideas? Interest?

I'm always interested in something Shadowrun, so count me as both interested in playing and curious to see how you further develop the idea.

There's a lot of material outside the standard playstyle that really goes untouched.

In the various bits around LA they mention Trid recorded and live streamed running, so sim recordings are definitely a done thing as far as canon is concerned.  I think the idea has a lot of potential and would be interested in seeing how it goes.

Interested as well. Sounds interesting, and the reality show-ish premise might cut down on some of the usual over-planning that tends to clog up SR a little.

I've built runners like this previously.

Live action Twitch streamers, TikTokers, and Instagram influencers, doing crimes and getting paid.

I had it mixing Electronic Witness with Day Job, just streaming and uploading their life.

Add a simrig to the mix, and you can live the Shadowrunner life, from the comfort of your corp owned apartment.

I'm tentatively interested, though I haven't read the 5e core book yet (although I'm about a quarter of the way through the opening fiction, for what it's worth). I suppose it depends on the speed of the game, willingness to work with new players, etc.

This sounds right up my alley.

I wasn't planning on having all of the players get a bunch of qualities and tech to make the game work. Just a datajack or some trodes and a comlink that's serving as a recorder which would be provided by the fixer. I want both players and characters to focus more on making memorable and interesting action. So qualities such as Watch the Suit become much more interesting, as are more exotic weapons such as mono-whips and laser guns.

In part this is to force the gameplay out of just tactical simulation and jazz up the action, but to also give the players a reason to experiment with some of the other character options and equipment.

One thing I wondered about being completely unfamiliar with Shadowrun, but it came up as a (minor) plot point in CP 2077. I wonder if it might be just as useful to get people who suck and might die for the adrenaline feels and whatnot?
