Shadowrun 4th Edition

Hey guys,
Putting feelers out to see if people are interested in running a Shadowrun game.

The best slot I have available is Sunday at 7 East. I would miss one week a month for another meeting obligation, but that means we can do 3 weeks a month (or so).

Thoughts?

Game Time: Changed to 8 east due to several people not able to play at 7 east.
Location: Europe, starting in Vienna (though you can be from anywhere). Strongly recommend you take at least a couple ranks in German (or have a linguasoft).
Year: 2073

Officially yes:
Tsig - Driver/gunslinger
Gihzmo - Decker/Hacker
Hakiyah - Drone Rigger
Tzeentch - Spy/Face
Myuu
Tom (friend of Demon)
Solis Obscuri
Rose (Demon's Wife) - Know-it-all Mage
OverdriveMT - Tank
G S Ticklestick - Mage or Adept
Steel Bear - Demolitions
Gespenster
Ghiest - Street Samurai
Damion - Technomancer

Maybe:
Dihm
MindWyrm

 

I will happily be there...filling up my week with stuff to do is fun

 

I really wanted to get into Shadowrun, but never had the chance so I would be up for it. My only problem is I probably could only show up for some nights because I have my son every other weekend. I could be there after 8 on Sundays though.

I have a rulebook somewhere... but I have no idea what edition it is, got it back in the 90s.

 

Might be able to swing this. Can't guarantee of course, but I'm usually free by 8:00 on Sundays.

Always been interested, but the Genesis game is the only one I ever got to play.

 

VTT, roll20.net specifically.

TeamSpeak for voice comms.

 

If we start at 8 east, I can play til 11 east.

That gives 3 hours, which is enough if we aren't talking too much BS 8)

That work better for everyone?

Also, need an official show of hands for who is interested. If we have enough, I can kick this off on the 21st, if not then we won't be kicking anything 8)

 

*Raises hand*

I am in, still forgot to check my shadowrun book that I have though...

 

Alright I'll throw myself in on this. Semester's coming to a close anyways.

 

Going to have to miss a couple here and there, but count me in!

 

I'm in. I have no idea what I'm doing though, so i'll need some help getting started.

 

I'd love to, but I'm booked/out-of-town the 21st of April, and the 5th and 26th of May... that doesn't seem like an auspicious start.

 

Reminds me, i visit family one sunday a month, and i don't usually know in advance when that will be.

 

Best part about Shadowrun, usually very easy to get guest appearances and partial participation. As long as we finish a run a week, it won't much matter.

Alright, let's pound out some specifics....

Year: 2072
Location: Europe (will travel), home country and language is very important, but everyone will speak a common language as well. Thinking German here.
Some specific info about the campaign: governments are slightly more powerful and they share information better. SINs are universal through a lot of Europe, so be very careful here. The mega-corps are still around and going strong, watch em.

 

*raises hand*

I'll be in this one too

 

Some background info on Europe in the sixth world can be found here: http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Countries_of_Europe

Of note, Ireland is now an Elven enclave known as Tir na nog, and the Allied German States is home to the worlds largest AAA corporation, Saeder-Krupp (run by this clever fellow.)

 

I think what I have is the original Shadowrun ruleset.. I do not know how much it has changed. Mine is based in 2050, and the book is from 1989. Nice book though, hardback and in great shape. Great art in it..

Is there still a decker archetype?

 

Sooo... the starting rule book for this is $45. Anyway to get a pdf version cheaper?

[edit] nevermind, found one for 15

[edit2] Can someone help me out with character creation some evening this week? This looks like a complicated mess.

 

It looks like the old Decker is now a "Hacker" archetype, and everything is accessible on wireless via Comlink.
