I've got a hankering to run a third edition shadowrun game based on a Mafia family.  The characters would be either wiseguys and/or mercenaries.  Anyone interested?

Edit: Oh yeah, this would be a normal game.

Thanks to the Shadowrun Xbox 360 game... I'd be interested as well.

Not as much interested in the mafia side par-say.. but I'll sign up for the whole mercenary side.. one who has ties to the mafia but not an actual family member.. just someone trusted enough to be called in when something needs to be done and not directly attached to the family.

I'm open for all archtypes..although I've typically played a Rigger in the past.

Is this Rules heavy or rules lite?

CirclMastr

Sign me up!  Probably as a merc-type, but I'm flexible.

Haven't figured out how rules intensive I intend to be just yet.

Also, there's room for a regular merc game if that's more of people's interest.

Amberghylles

I love Shadowrun 3rd edition. 

I'd be interested either in a mob game or a merc game (or some mix of the two)


Used Carlot

I <3 Shadowrun. And 3rd ed is all I got!

Too bad it's a normal game. : \ Where's all the fun in running shadows, shooting up things, getting the big haul, and cybering up yourself into robocop?


.... oh yeah... :D 

My only thing is, I've had an idea for a new race that follows the elf template for racials but my RL friends won't let me do it.

I think because it is in essense a furry..

There ought to be rules for it (SURGE) in Year of the Comet, but that only applies if the game is set in 2063 or later.

In wha? I only have Cannon Comanion, Core book, and Man and Machine.

CirclMastr

Well, it's not up to me whether it's useable or not.  The game would have to be set in 2063, and the GM would have to approve the concept.

Year of the Comet is a sourcebook about the year 2063, where Haley's Comet comes around and all sorts of weirdness happens (either because of it or alongside it).  One such thing is SURGE (Sudden Unexplained Recessive Genetic Expression) which, from a metagame point of view, is basically a way to include some furry and anime tropes in the game.  Most of it is (IMHO) junk, but hey, I can't say no to catgirls.

Well my idea was actually a Corp Genetic experiment that got loose.

But I will look up the Year of the Comet!

Muse

Since it's in the normal section, how about a dwarf guy, mechanic by day, but his real job is an adept who specializes in countering and even assasinating magicians?

YotC does have it's moments but this isn't going to be one of them, sorry.  If the game actually gets off the ground it'll be starting in early August of 2060 (right in time for the second mob war).  Assuming that there's at least four interested personages, it'll be standard build rules.

You can come fairly close to a furry using bioware if memory serves, though....

Hunter

*blinks*

Hand count?   Please chime in if interested.

Looks like there's enough people interested.

Preliminary thread is at the link below.

Hunter

I'm guessing that no one is really interested because I haven't gotten anything yet?

Muse

Sorry, haven't found my third edition books yet, and I've been buys.

Whenever you feel comfortable.

Hunter

Since I forgot to mention (bad Hunter!) it's either priority or 120 point build.

Muse

Are all the concepts sent your way freelancers?

I haven't recieved any character submissions at this time.

Oh man, and I told myself I wouldn't join any game I wasn't muscled into...

I need to muscle you into joining?  ^_^

Can I help with the tickling?  Er, muscling?

o.O''' How's tickling equal muscling?

Hunter

Because tickling uses muscles?

Zakharra

 I've never played Shadowrun, even though I'm running a mixed Ctberpunk/Shadow Run game. But this sounds interesting. What do you need Hunter? I'm quite unfamiler with character creation on SR. Cyberpunk I have down pat, just not SR.

Hunter

#34
I'd need a regular character, built either with the point system or priority system.

If you need help crunching the numbers, either myself and/or someone else will be glad to assist you if you just come up with the character detaisl.

*glowers*  No touchy my Idachan.   :P

Hunter

Sowwy about the double post but as of this time and date, I've only received one character submission.

Please expedite peoples.  ^_^

 I need help doing all of character creation. I know nothing and have no player's handbooks on SR.

Say, hunter?  Is there anything like Delta Ware or Gamma Ware in this edition?

SR3 has standard, alphaware, betaware, and deltaware.  Betaware and deltaware are not available at chargen (and as a rule too expensive anyway).

I'm still waiting on characters from players that said they wanted to play.  You know who you are.

Muse

Blarg!  I lost my write up on the Fisherman, and I'm playing him in another game. 

Hmmm... 

I wonder... 

Hunter, since I'm having so much trouble coming up with a charecter who is actualy PART of la familia, would you be intrested in makign a charecter for me to play?

There IS a character template on the webpage.

Amberghylles

I'm sorry...

I just haven't had a chance to sit down with books and make a character.  I like the idea, but I'm not going to have time to play in this one after all.


Hunter

*sighs*  OKay, we can scratch this idea then.

CirclMastr

Hey, I submitted my character.  You could just run the game for me. ;)

Not by yourself you can't.  You shoud know better.   :P

kasen03

Why can't you?

I mean.. just run a solo-style game?  I've done that before.. albeit in non-game mechanic games.. but it works.
