Youkoso! Or welcome, if you prefer!
So, this is the thread for GWJ's second attempt at putting together a online Shadowrun RPG game. If you're anything like me, you've been enraptured by Harebrained Scheme's recent output with SR, and want to head back to that world for more double-crosses, drek and datasteals, and hopefully, that's what we're gonna put together here.
This would be a game using the just released Shadowrun: Sixth World ruleset.
I should note, this is a thread for people interested in getting together to play the actual Shadowrun tabletop RPG game, not a thread to talk about Harebrained Schemes' awesome games. Just FYI.
I'd be the GM, as I've got a soul-consuming hankering to do that gig again. Prior to this, I'd gotten to run a absolutely wonderful 5th Edition SR game with me, gains, IHateDRM, EvilSkillit and a real-life bud of mine that lasted over an entire year, so I'm hoping maybe to strike lucky twice.
Our Current PCs:
None
Scheduling:
Games would have to happen on Mondays or Tuesdays, as those are my only days off currently. Based on previous experience, they'd last 4-5 hours apiece.
Tools:
Roll20! Had a lot of fun messing around in this.
Communication:
Discord
In-game developments, GM notes, and other game-related material will be handled via e-mail once we get running. This thread is used primarily for post-session wrap-up notes, where players and observers can follow the plot so far!
Other Notes/Supplements:
Not a lot! Shadowrun: Sixth World is still in its infancy, so there's basically only the core rulebook available, along with two world-building supplements.
Anything Else:
Null.
So if you're interested, let me know! Seeya later Chummer!
:O
Edit: I want to do this so bad, but know I can't logistically swing it. Green with envy over here.
Omg keep me posted.
Sunday and Saturday are really the only times I can play as I work nights so if the time changes out of that I'm afraid I will have to back out. Which is totally fine but just a heads up.
Pencil me in.
Is it going to be more story or more dice rolling? Thanks!
Sundays are...tricky for me because thats when I usually get together with my IRL group to play Star Wars but I can be off on that group for this! The trick will be me travelling for work. I think I'll be in Mexico that weekend so depending on times and Internet, I may be unavailable.
ITS. HAPPENING!
I'd be cool with either the 20 or 27 but my finances are a bit tied up in medical bills so I won't have read the core rule book by then.
If you need another person I'll be willing to give it a try. However, I might be rather gross at times and every now and then I might have to bail. Medical problems but I only had to write off stuff twice in the last couple of months because of my issues.
Never played the game and haven't read the books. I have played D&D and I was a DM for a time. Any interested parties should be given more priority over me.
Hey Pred,
How do you feel about Decking in a full group online? Is that a no-go in general or something you plan to incorporate. Last time I played SR (3rd Edition I believe) we found Decking to be a bit...unwieldy at the table: It put the focus on one person for far too long. I think if you interspersed the decking rounds into rounds of other characters doing stuff, that might help (as opposed to the decking being resolved by itself then the decker being kind of out of it) but I'm not sure how 5th plays with it.
Either way I look forward to all of it and am a sucker for communication and email outside of the game.
I'm available basically anytime before 4PM MT if everyone wants to do sezzion zer0 (I'm trying to get into the cyberpunk mood ;)) But I work nights so any other time weekdays doesn't really work for me.
Well, I am technically free this Saturday, though I'd be ducking out of my birthday party to log on. I'm cool with doing that, since the mandate for my party is for everyone to just hang out and relax. I just can't stay on for too long. I expect they'll want to have the cake around that time.
By the by, there is supposed to be a SR 5E compatible character sheet available in Roll20. As you set up your campaign you should be able to select that character sheet and all players will have it on their character tab. (I haven't tested it yet myself but might be able to do that later.)
So I discovered that I may not know what I owe on the aforementioned medical bills for up to two months and I'm not waiting that long to spend $20 on a PDF. And man that PDF is a friggen tome. So far I'm thinking Face Shaman with a focus on buff and debuff spells and a minor in revolvers. It's hard to say if that's spread too thin though.
EDIT: Oh and anytime Saturday is fine by me.
Any night this week should be fine. Saturday 5PM would be a bit early for me.
Well, Friday does work best, though I can swing Saturday. This Sunday's a no-go.
As far as character concepts, I'm thinking an Elf ninja type, with an emphasis on bows and putting enchantments on the arrows. No cybertech, all carried and worn gear. Maybe based on the gunslinger adept? Kind of Legolas but with more Hawkeye.
If you all want to do Friday that's fine I can just meet up with Prederick for character creation stuff if I need to. I would like to have everyone in on it but as long as the games are on a weekend I'm good.
Sat or Sun evening is fine for me also
Since Deckers won't be allowed I may want to be a rigger.
Pssssst.....Shadowrun is the best universe out there.
I am extremely interested. Just tagging here because timezones may preclude and I'll have to, you know, read the thread.
8pm is 2amish here so that's not going to work for me at all. Please keep me on teh interested roster though for different times. My available window would be from 9pm CET which is 3pm EST.
Okay I definitely want in and was thinking Rigger or Decker but now Im not sure. As a I'm pretty Noob to Shadowrun I'd hate to take a character slot from somewhat who already has an idea of what they want to play...
You can always just make a new character later on if you go with something other then decker but decide you want to play a decker after all. Plus so long as we have the basics of Shooty person, Hacky person, and Magicky person I think having a forth who doubles up on one of those is probably fine.
