Let me be frank.
I've GMed three games IRL that have gone well. Two I wrote myself, One was Shadowrun Missions 3.
I've played in 3 Shadowrun campaigns, A long Seattle one I saw to the end (Orc Ghoul Mage), A Corp Court game I was asked to leave near the start (Human Combat Mage) and a World Wide game that was cancelled (Face/Perception Adept).
I'm in a number of PbPs here, a lot of you have at least seen me around I'm sure (Rigger/Technomancer/Deranged Ganger Face/Adept).
I've got access to the main books, Manhattan stuff, Runner's Toolkit, Attitude and a couple other things but no money to buy anything else.
I'm no literary genius, I don't like typing a lot in one go. I don't do big sweeping descriptions well, I try to keep my posts short and to the point (I'm failing here).
But I want to run a Game.
I don't know Seattle well, I know Manhatten much better, I'd like to set this game in Seattle though for simplicity.
This is a low morals game, you will all immediately realise the types of ideas it's based on partway into the first run, I feel it's something quite natural for the 6th world though and I want to experiment with it.
You don't have to play a runner with low morals but I don't like entrapping players per se. Offer me up a way or quality to keep your character in the game if you want to roleplay the true struggling with their morals and these jobs. Please don't resort to turning on the Johnson in the short term, by all means plan to topple him in the long run but don't suddenly swear bloody vengeance and disappear into the night unless you're leaving the game. If you're in the game I expect you to work towards the horrible goal each run.
400BP + 15 Karma, Seattle, Full Team - Face, Sam, 'Trix, Adept, Mage, Rigger.
Background/Lifestyle/Race is no problem, Metavarients are no problem, SURGE is no problem, HMHVV is no problem. If you're a drake you better be hiding it and you better be prepared for the Johnson's reaction. No Non-Metahuman Metasapients though, No AIs, No Free Spirits or sprites..
The Johnson will still hire you if you or a contact can GUARANTEE your trails get covered. His business is thriving because no one knows about it yet unless he wants them to.
Stealth will be very handy but so will anything that gets you in and out inconspicuously, Social Engineering, etc.
Medical background isn't a -must- but at least one of you better be a biotech, first aid/medicine/cybertech will be a must for the team, whether split between you or with a dedicated medic.
If everything goes to hell, don't worry, you'll just be referred to a separate "branch".
I've run out of things to say, so here goes.
