[Nightshade]

(I've almost certainly posted this in the wrong forum, so if the moderator wants to move the thread: please do so. The main reason why I posted here was because I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post in the Play-by-Post forum)

This post has almost exclusively to do with the "Play-by-Post" forum. If you are not interested in that, read no further.

Basically
I'm available as GM

My Goal: Having fun while learning English.
I am not a native English speaker. I consider my English to be passable, but I'm dabbling with the idea of becoming an author. I need to get my English up to snuff though, so if you see any idiom, style or grammar errors in my posts, please PM/inform me.

My Experience
I've been role-playing for 15+ years, game-mastering for 12+ years and have been playing shadowrun for roughly 9 of those years. I've participated in 5 and have run 2 forum based games. (Though I took a break from them 3 years ago)

Regarding Ruleset:
While I have the 5th edition rule book I've only skimmed it, and have never run a game with it so I would really, really prefer 4th edition. (Though I have a 3rd edition rulebook lying around somewhere, if anybody is interested)

Plot Ideas
I have several, (some of them actually contain character generation with 300 or 500 BP) but I'm kind of up for anything. What I'm mostly looking for is a short adventure with 3-5 players where I can also practice character and location describing.

[Csjarrat]

Great stuff. I always liked 4th and 5th is pretty decent too.
I like playing techie characters, usually riggers or decker so i'd like to apply for a slot in your game.
Where you thinking of basing the game?

[Nightshade]

Hey Csjarrat, welcome aboard.

Again regarding edition:
I would really, really prefer to play 4th edition. The only way somebody could convince me to play 5th edition, is to demonstrate that there are absolutely no players available for 4th edition. Honestly, if 4th edition isn’t an option, I'd really rather play 3rd edition since I at least participated in some games of it  .

Regarding location:
I'd leave it up to the players. I'd prefer not play is the most notorious locations (like Seattle), since I'm not fully up to speed on the story lines and I'd rather not disrupt any ongoing campaigns.

4th is fine with me, I GM a 4e game on here myself so am pretty familiar with the ruleset.
i started with 3rd and still have the books but have forgotten pretty much all of it lol!
I'm easy for settings tbh, international would be cool if you don't want to step on the toes of the established lore and just run your own story

[ve4grm]

Hi Nightshade,

I've only played 5e, but own the 4e book and would be down for learning if you can bear with me while we go. (I pick up systems pretty quick, so it shouldn't be too bad.)

An international setting would be interesting. Perhaps wherever you're located, even.

As for character, it would probably depend on setting. Probably Street Samurai of some sort, just to keep things fairly straightforward on my first try with 4e. I could delve into mage/face if we need it, but I'd like to avoid the matrix rules.

NOTE: As far as posting in the wrong forum goes, you're right, the "Play By Post" forum wasn't the right place to go. This should have gone in the "Looking for Group" forum instead. No worries, though.

== Description ==
A relatively slight dwarf with auburn hair and a cheeky demenour,

== Background ==
He loves all things motorsport and wanted to follow his father into the motor trade and set up his own racing team. Reality wasn't so kind though and the family garage was run out of business by the Mitsuhama motorcar division who setup shop across the road.
With no real income from the handyman jobs he had to take on, the family had to sell up and move on.
Roy attended engineering college for a couple of years but landed work as a stunt driver for a film company for 5 years, earning a name for himself briefly before an encounter with an "interesting" character who fitted him up with his first Shadowrun as a wheelman.
Since then he's worked the shadows for about a year, employing his driving skills and his piloting skills to pay his bills.

[ve4grm]

I'm going to hold off on making anything until Nightshade confirms BP.

...and also that I'm in the game in the first place.

[Ericen]

I would love to play a Mage or shaman I have 4th edition rules but will have to read up on making a character I only have 5th edition rolled up currently. I am sure CJ will help me with questions

[Nightshade]

@ve4grm
Glad to have you- As far as I heard the 4th and 5th edition are pretty similar, although like you said, I'd advise against playing a Hacker or other Matrix type since that category received the most changes. A fighter type would do nicely.

@Csjarrat
I skimmed your character write-up and there was nothing too outlandish and a rigger seems like a good Idea for the setting I'm about to propose, though you might want to modify him a little. Some things that stood out:

* Those comlink stats seem a bit high; I thought you were only allowed up to a rating 5 at the start.
* Why do you have Contact Lenses and a monocle? (Not that you can't, just curious)

@BP and background
Since nobody proposed or showed interest in anything non standard we'll go for with the 400 BP. At the moment I'm thinking of having a run set in the Indonesian archipelago with the character working security on a smuggling boat. The logical starting place then would be Hong Kong, but I'll take input from the players.

Edit: hi ericen. The group still lacks magical backup, so looks like you're in.

[ve4grm]

@Nightshade - It's not so much a lack of interest in non-standard, but a lack of preference. If you have a non-standard game you wanted to run, I'm cool with that.

Hong Kong/Indonesia sounds cool. I'll read up a bit on the area, and make a sammie up over the next couple days.

[Csjarrat]

Cool, it's o ly a draft so will be changing somethings around.
Monocle and contacts are because the avail limit for all the stuff I wanted was too high for a single device.
The only Commlink stat you can't get to 6 at the start is response (avail 18 iirc), everything else is fine.
The legal software is optimised by one rank to run on an R5 Commlink and the restricted software is all R5 so it can be made ergonomic due to avail ratings.
I'll shift some stuff around and get another draft up shortly

== Description ==
A relatively slight dwarf with auburn hair and a cheeky demenour,

== Background ==
He loves all things motorsport and wanted to follow his father into the motor trade and set up his own racing team. Reality wasn't so kind though and the family garage was run out of business by the Mitsuhama motorcar division who setup shop across the road.
With no real income from the handyman jobs he had to take on, the family had to sell up and move on.
Roy attended engineering college for a couple of years but landed work as a stunt driver for a film company for 5 years, earning a name for himself and touring internationaly briefly before an encounter with an "interesting" character who fitted him up with his first Shadowrun as a wheelman.
Since then he's worked the shadows for about a year, employing his driving skills and his piloting skills to pay his bills.
Ploughing his earnings into a career in the shadows, he's now running various smuggling routes into and out of Hong Kong alongside extractions, recon and wheelman work.


Dropped the non-lethal stealthy drone and shifted resources around to improve autosofts and buy in a boat for the campaign, added knowledge skills ( i assume the relevant language is cantonese?)
Also, where the vehicle sensors are underfilled, i've left them with their standard factory fitted sensors and just upgraded the main one's i'll use most

[Hellion]

I'm interested if there is still a place available... Can post a character tommorrow... Nowhere near a computer atm

[Triskavanski]

I'm kinda interested in a 4e game myself too. I've got a few ideas, depending on whats allowed in.

A quick rundown some  of the ideas..

Physical Adept - Faceless Man - A character who basically doesn't exist. He's bland, boring, there isn't any data on him and he just blends into any situation  like a shadow. Spy games has three powers I use for this guy..

Sword-Mage - a Mystic adept. uses a vibrosword and magics like Magic fingers and influence.

Clubber - A rather famous, or possibly infamous changeling character.

More stuff later.. sleep comes.

== Description ==
Of middling height the ork you see walking towards you has a smile on his face and seems to be in a good mood. He seems reasonably strong and healthy and carries himself with a confiedence you find strangely intimidating. But you also get the sense that hes the sort of person who counts when trouble comes calling.

== Background ==
Brent Houng was born to a SINles couple who, not knowing what to do with a ork child born to normal humans, gave him up to an orphange. Little did they know that the orphange was a front for a Triad group. they trained him to act like a counter sniper for some of their operations, but during a turf war with anotther Triad group all of his fellow members were killed before he was formally inducted.

== Concept ==
Counter Sniper/ Close Combat/ Recon specialist
