Hoi, Chummers!
Before I get too into the mission that we'll be running, let me give you a bit of a disclaimer. I have only played one session of Shadowrun before on live tabletop. I got my feet wet in making characters, conducting tests, combat, legwork, and using Chummer. Other than that, I have no Shadowrun experieince outside of the old Sega game. I would have liked to gain some more experience before trying to GM but seeing as how hard it is to get into a game with there being so many players outnumbering GM's, I figured I'd take a dive into the deep end and see what happens. After all, I figure there have been plenty of groups of people who get into SR with their friends all at the same time and SOMEONE has to GM the first time through.
Now that we got that disclaimer out of the way, if you're still interested in playing:
I will be running a pre created mission I found on the forums, The Bunraku Breakout. If you've never heard of it, I suggest you DO NOT look it up! This will RUIN you experience! That being said, I reserve the right to change things and throw curve balls into the fun.
THIS WILL BE AN EXTRACTION MISSION. It will take place in Seattle so expect an urban setting and plenty of cops around. If you aren't a sinner, you'll need a fake SIN.
I'm going to need FOUR runners, 400 BP built on Chummer. When I pick my four runners, we'll work out emails over PM so you can send me your Chummer files. All books are welcome.
The scope of the mission will take place over the course of a day, so we're looking at a very short game. I'll be honest, this is more to feel out the mechanics of the game on PbP and to get those "first time jitters" out of our systems.
As seems to be the norm after reading through a bunch of games, we'll set the minimum post amount at 1 per day to keep things moving along.
There are no special house rules, nor are there special house exceptions. We are going by the book on this one (quite literally).
If anyone is interested in being team lead, let me know in this thread when you give me your character info. This will mainly be for RP purposes but it could also speed along the rate of the game by giving broad orders to the other team members (as opposed to politely suggesting back and forth that two guys from the team go here and then spend another two days figuring who those two guys are going to be).
I'm going to leave it at that and wait for prospective recruits to post here.
Any SR vets are welcome to PM suggestions or point out mistakes that I've made. Please keep it out of the thread.
