So I'm bored and under-employed. I figure what the hell I could GM something. I'm pretty new to 5th Ed and want to get some experience GMing. And since I'm still getting into the swing of things I'll be doing randomly generated runs for a while. Help us all get on out feet, but I do have ideas for a bigger plot-line if people are still interested. To keep things simple I'd like set some parameters.
The group to be no bigger then 5 people. I'll take three people on the bench but only after the five slots have filled.
There should be a dedicated Hacker, Technomancer or Decker whichever.
No Mystic Adepts. Magicians preferred over Adepts but someone should be able to deal with spirits.
Everyone should be able to defend themselves in a fight.
With Approval you may have negative qualities past the 25 Karma limit. However you will still only receive 25 Karma Max for negative qualities.
Other changes may be added later.

So who wants to give it a go?

Hail, I would be interested, how random are we talking? Will be still be roleplaying and interacting prior to a run, or will it just be us thrown in a situation. Also, what format will the game be, Skype/Roll20/PbP/etc, I am up for any. I will probably take the rigger role as I love them to death and currently am not playing any games. (as a player, am GMing one)

Also want to thank you for trying your hand at GMing, I think more people could do it but fear even trying. Regardless, I will work on my character some, hope you stick with it! I know from experience GMing can take it's toll.

Oh Right! Play-by-Post I guess that's a pretty important detail.

There will definitely be role-playing and all that. I don't wanna just run a combat simulator. In fact there will be Karma rewards for good role-playing.

OK then looks like we've got a Decker, Rigger, and Mage. So a Face and or Street-Sam would be good.

I should put out there that my decker is also a bit of a face. So he can fill in for either role. :) I'll post his stats in a bit.

Oh man, dibs on street sam. And I like the idea of randomly generated runs.

Here's the rough version: http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=15526.0

I can get a version with knowledge skills, full gear, and background posted soon.

cursury glance looks good, but I'm gonna have to veto kids for Code of Honor, since as you will rarely run into them at best. Might I suggest civilians?

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. I can take face, but, I'm on a brutal work schedule for the next 5 days so if you need a character before then I'll understand and bow out.

I'd love to jump in. I'm dying to experiment with the Adept rules.

I can try to include a bit of face as well, if we need it, but the decker sounds like he has a lot of that taken care of.

I expected that. By "no kids" he would mean:
- No killing kids, obviously.
- No killing people in public spaces where a kid could conceivably witness it.
- Using non-lethal methods against people who have children or take care of children unless specifically being paid to kill them.

More of an emotional code of honor than anything rational. I could expand it to include "women and children." I'm not comfortable with civilians, though, because he has no military background and is, in all other respects, a cold heartless bastard. It's intended to be an "emotional" code of honor, the one bit of altruism and soul he can't quite seem to shake. The thing that lets him sleep at night.

The guy is a former organlegger; kind of a dark character.

I'd like to get in on this too!  I just picked up 5th ed a few weeks ago and am just putting together my first characters now.  I'm working on an orc phys ad with guns and some B&E/social skills as well.

I will bow out of this one, currently GMing a game and I feel I would slow things down currently. Again thanks for GMing a game you're a saint man! Perhaps after a few weeks I will contact you and see how things are going and put a character on the bench, if you are ok with that of course!

I know you aren't overly keen on adepts but since the rigger is bowing out I'd like to toss a wheelman adept in the discussion. If you'd rather have a rigger then I understand completely.
