Hoi chummers! My name is Joe, but you can call me Agonar. I happen to have a cadre of Runners that I put to the test in a 5th edition Shadowrun game set in the 2050's, and record their exploits for your amusement. I started recording these back in November of 2014, figuring that maybe one day I'd get a podcast going, and maybe someone might enjoy listening to them. Well, I finally got most of what I kept telling myself I needed, and am just releasing them now. You can find them by searching iTunes for Relative Dimension, or going to podbean here

Our cast of characters include
Doctor Jones - Orc Archaeologist who moonlights as a Combat Mage.
Lightning - Elf Sniper that finds life easier to view through the sights of a good gun, than through a magnifying glass.
Teddy - Loyal Dwarf Bear Shaman who pretends to have fun while taking things way too seriously.
Zero - Human Physical Adept who thinks life is just a VR Matrix game
I record in a small apartment, so sometimes the TV, or the wife, or the baby are heard when I am talking. If I notice things are very loud when I speak, I usually pause and wait, and try to resume when the noise quiets, but I can't always catch that. I do my best to edit out the extra noise and the dead air.
As I said, I am running 5th Edition. Most of my players had no Shadowrun experience when we started playing, so most were learning the world, and we were all learning the rules. There are some rules we fudge here and there for convenience, and some that I am still trying to tweak to this day (coughmatrixcough) to try to speed things up.
I mentioned this at the beginning of the third episode, but it bears repeating. Since my players were mostly inexperienced with the game and lore, I started the game in the 2050's, and have been running through classic modules. Before I started recording, I had already run them through Silver Angel, Mercurial, Bottled Demon, Dragon Hunt, and some of Harlequin. Besides some home-created stuff, there's more Harlequin to come, and also Missing Blood and Dreamchipper. By the time our episodes catch up to now, they'll probably have gone through even more of the classics.
I welcome feedback, even iTunes feedback.. 5 stars and good reviews helps others find it easier, but I am willing to address criticism too.. if something is wrong, please tell me and I will try to fix it.
In the future, we might do some general content episodes or the like. I even have some one-shots of other games planned to release as bonus content now and again.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy.
