Any Shadowrun games?

[Vice]

Is anyone running a Shadowrun (any edition) game with room for another player? I'm in the mood for cyberpunk. :)


Failing that, other sci-fi settings would be nice.

[Giant Moth]

Cyberpunk and sci fi is fun. I'll PM you.

[Lorelei]

I'd love to play some Shadowrun if you guys have room for a third...

-L

[Vandren]

Love, War, and Giant Robots - https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?board=344.0 - could probably use another couple players . . .  :)

[Swedish Steel]

I'd also love to play Shadowrun. ZK was going to run a game, but it seems dead in the water at the moment.

[kylie]

I might be interested, too.

[Mia]

Me too...

[CirclMastr]

SR3 for the win, please.

[Swedish Steel]

SR4 is far superior, in my oppinion. All they need to do is release the rules for ghouls already. :)

[Muse]

I'd also love to play.  SR 4 or 3, prefferably 3. 

[kylie]

Whichever, as long as I don't have to dig for stats myself too often? 

I don't have the books, and after a little creation fuss, I really don't enjoy looking stuff up constantly.  I kinda like the milieu, though (waiting for any particular twists)...

[ZK]

Yeah, my SR4 game is dead in the water, possibly permanently dead by the looks of things.

[Creeper]

Jimmy Fingers is very sad.

[ZK]

Just, blah on the general basis of the entire game and my limited time. :( It isn't going anywhere I wanted it to.

[Muse]

*Hugs ZK* 

*Whipsers, "I meant 4th edition..."

[Xerial]

I've tried to start something with quite limited success, mostly due to my own self... the ebb and flow of my creativity be fickle and I tend to disapear often... I've still got a full campaign arc in mind, one I believe I mentioned and even recruited for here.... but those creative tides conspired against me...

[ZK]

Not to hijack this thread, But I'd still like to do an Exalted 2nd Edition or a Scion or Zir'An game. ^.^

[Used Carlot]

I'd love to join a Shadowrun or normal Cyberpunk games. The Shadowrun game I'd need to talk to the GM about either A: making a new race that follows the Elf stats or see what cybernetics I'd have to loot to get what i want.

[Hunter]

I've giving some serious consideration to a 3rd edition game, either Mafia or Mercenary based.

If you hadn't noticed already.

[kasen03]

I adore SR - although at times I think that my vision of shadowrun really runs against alot of the common thread.  I'm actually more into the very classic SR - not the real high-powered stuff.. but people trying to make their way on the streets.  Plus I do loved the whole rules-lite version.. I've had a couple fun 1 on1 games based in SR.

Unfortunately I've not seen much luck here with the larger group games.. although with the release of SR for the 360.. been itching so much to play .. or run the campaign.. again..

[Xerial]

Shadowrun for the 360 makes Baby Jesus kill people... seriously, the game was a travesty...

[kasen03]

Bah.. the game was okay.  It's like nearly anything big corporations do.. they hire people who have no idea what it's about.  They REALLY should have made a first person RPG type game.. that would have blown people away.

BUT..the game is good for what it is.. a FPS that's has a flavour of shadowrun to it.  More guns..more cyberware.. that would have been so much better.. but I don't knock it..

[Used Carlot]

Eventually I am going to go upstairs and pilher it from my friend.

And as much as I want to play Shadowrun, the Merc and Mafia game doesn't grab at me.

[Hunter]

In all honesty, my ideas don't grab everyone.  Some people prefer the "stab in the back by the J" kinda game.  Doesn't suit my taste.

[Used Carlot]

I don't weant stabbed in the back by J games. I want a more.. standard issue game. Where you're a runner, you do jobs, maybe some bigger plot happens or you get hired to help something happen.

But usually Mob games end up a select way I never like.. usually with my domicile on fire...

[kasen03]

Hey Used Carlot.. that's exactly how I feel. :) I miss the old days of Shadowrun.. living on the edge of the barrens to fall under the radar.. getting that big score and splurging until the next corp comes knocking..either opportunity or for revenge.  Being double crossed by your Johnson and expecting it coming.

Right now my RL is VERY overwhelming..but after my current project comes to an end.. maybe we can talk about pulling something together.

[Hunter]

If it's third, I'll likely play.

[Swedish Steel]

I don't know what people have against 4th. I like it much better actually.

[Hunter]

Because I can build and run in 3rd without any books on hand.

[kasen03]

I actually recently picked up the 4th edition.  Although I am normally one balking at change - I'm actually going to give it the benifit of the doubt.. and then deny it and crawl back into my tiny safe place :D

I'm in the middle of a busy RL work period.. but as the slow down approaches, I've found a couple people RL who are interested in a SR game.. so I'm in the planning stages of starting a game.  And I still keep coming back here.. as I can't avoid all things SR :D

Swedish Steel - I'd love to chat sometime to get your feelings on the 4th.  Personally I played 1st, 2nd and 3rd back in 'the day'.. although I've not tabletopped in ages. :(

[Swedish Steel]

Sure thing. I started with 2nd edition myself. Always loved the game, but not the rules. The rules in 4th edition is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. It feels a bit more streamlined.

[Used Carlot]

I only advocate 3rd because I don't have 4th and I have a bunch of books for 3rd ed.

[Swedish Steel]

I have every book going back to 2nd edition, some first edition stuff too. You  could say I'm a collector. :)

[kasen03]

Mm.. from what I've seen so far I am not convinced about 4th edition.  I do have a future tabletop game being formed..so I can put it to the test.  I dunno..there is something about throwing those 14 dice for a firearm's check and getting a result in the 20's or 30's :D

The new stuff for Augmented Reality is pretty wiz.  Just opens up so many ideas.. but at the same time.. terribly complicates the game.  Not mechanics wise.. but a team has got to be VERY careful now about their electronic intelligence and counter-intelligence.

[Swedish Steel]

I like AR. That way the decker (or hacker) won't have to stay behind. They always ended up feeling left out before...

[kasen03]

Yeah.. typically our parties would always NPC the decker for that very reason.  Once the team would get into the site - then everyone would sit and wait while the decker did his run.

VR 2.0 helped abit.. the new decking rules made it abit faster..but the whole AR helps :)

[Hunter]

Really?  Ours almost always came along.

[Swedish Steel]

Really?  Ours almost always came along.

Well, ours did too, eventually, but only after cybering up so he was more street samurai than decker. He felt tired of being left out.

[Hunter]

Ours didn't cyber up.  He simply hid behind the sammy with wired 3, the combat mage, the phys ad, the..  (you get the idea)

[Idachan]

Eh, when I played a decker I was laying out cold in an old garage while following the rest in the Matrix simply.

[kasen03]

We once had one who did the 1/2 sammy 1/2 decker - problem was he wasn't terribly wiz at either.  Against a regular sammy he'd come up short, and against the harder stuff in the matrix he'd be similiarly tanked.

Problem is. like most things.. to be great at your profession one tends to need to specialize :D

I've been slowly pouring over the rules.. it will be interesting to see what they do.  Which expansions are out for 4.0?  Do they have Rigger out for all the vehicles.. Fields of fire for the HVARs?  etc?  It seemed when they reset they dropped all the expansions.  Also.. are they still using the SOTA?  I loved SOTA - a way for GM's to wrestle Neyen back from the hording PCs :D

I only hoard when the GM is stingy.  Otherwise, I spend rather freely.   :P

[kylie]

I'm sorry, I cannot resist... 

Are you guyz *still* trying to figure out whether or what to run?

This is really code for some secret game that's already in the final chapter, right?

Heh.

[kasen03]

Nah.. lately we've just been yabbering about the different versions of the game system.  I don't have time to start up a large group game here (plus I still have that bad taste from my other large games which were torpedo'd) - I know Hunter just started up his game - so he's set and there is a home for people wanting to play.

I've been liking all of Celestial's comments on the game :)

*waves to Kylie*  I don't think we've talked since way back when we played the Model Hostage together :D

[Hunter]

It doesn't look like my game is going very far.  Please feel free to start up something else.
