COPY&PASTE


I;m keen to start up a PBP game here but I'm only looking to run it for newbs as experienced forum users will probably laugh at me:'(

If you are interested please reply to this thread - I'm only accepting players who still have newb status, anybody else I'm sorry but you can't play in this game.  I might be talked into running another game for everybody but that will be at some point in the future when I'm more comfotable running a game here.

In other forums i've played in people usually only post a few times before dropping out, hell I've done it myself lots of times!   So the rule is if you don't post for 5 days you get dropped and a new player is introduced to the game and your character goes to the back of the waiting list.

This game will be short runs mostly, no real overarching plot, basically just a WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM! game.

Character generation is 400BP any official books are acceptable for use in character generation.

Game will be set in Seattle to start with and will revolve around the adventures of the runners as they set about making themselves filthy rich!

Players will start off knowing one another vaguely but this is their first actual run together. 

Game will be called 'Get Rich Or Die Trying!' '50 Cent for the Win!

Once we get some interested people I'll start up the In Character (IC) thread.

If you've never played in a PBP before that isn't a problem I'll willing to help with any questions or problems you may have and I will try and make this game very newb friendly.

I just posted on your other thread but I will reply here to for good measure.

I would like to try playing by post.  It has been years since I have roleplayed and have not played shadowrun since version 2 was out.  I have the new book and new street magic book.  I would like to play a mage of mystic adept but I am willing to play whatever the party needs.  I think I would be available to post between daily and every other day.

Wait people DON'T laugh at their GMs? Man, I've been doing it wrong :P

Anyways, I would love to participate. I'll make a character soon enough and post it in the "Big Black Book of Runners." I'm about to run my second game with a group of people for whom it will be their first time playing (with a nice, big, overarching Plotline... :P), so the experience of being in another game would be welcome! Especially the experience role-playing! Anyways, once we get a few more people, we should talk about what we want to do/specialize in; also, regarding qualities, same limit as in the Core Book, and no house rules? (Should mention that I'm willing to play anything that isn't a hacker... don't like hacking.)

Also, I have never done PbP before, although I have role-played before.

Welcome to the game. We'll discuss characters as a group, once the group has formed.  I'm looking at a maximum of 6players minimum of 3.

NOBODY LAUGHS AT THE VAN HELLSTROM!:P lol

Welcome to the game Paenito.  I'm leaving this game open to 6 players at maximum and 2 players minimum.  Anyone after that goes on the waiting list and will come into the game when a spot opens up.  We'll be discussing what type of characters everybody wants to play as a group as well.

Yeah we are playing this game straight out of the rule books so no house rules at the moment.  Don't worry about having never played PBP it's a lot like regular roleplaying except a lot slower.  I should be able to post everyday mon to fri but the weekends are a killer for me, got family commitments but sometimes I'm free, and next week I will be unable to get online from tuesday to thursday as I will be spending that time with my girlfriend.

Also I'm still struggling with the hacking rules as well but I'll do my best to provide a decent gaming experience for any hackers or technomancers that join the game!

You elderly forum posters and your laughing at Gms!  If it's not one thing its another with you lot! ;D

Welcome to the game.  A mage or mystic adept should be fine but we will discuss what characters everybody plays as a group so that we come up with a group that everybody is happy to play in.

Also I should mention that I am GM who lets the dice fall where they may, which can mean the occasional PC death if things are risky, or players have an unlucky street.  If your character does die, and I'm not saying she or he will, you will have to come up with another character but will not lose your place in the game.

If you have a spot open, I'd like to give it a go. I'm still quite newb to SR4A and would like to try a Matrix-based character of some kind. I also have more generalist characters as well, whatever the team needs.

Sorry Ethan, unfortunately you don't qualify as a newb anymore on the boards so I can't add you to this game but I will be recruiting for a new game next week which you will be welcome to join.

Awesome, I'll send you a PM when recruitment starts!

A hacker of some kind it is.  Got an idea for a character concept snowcrash?

Hello all, I am not sure if I fall into the Newb category but I have never played a PBP game and would love to try. I like to play street Samurai type PC's that have a little bit of balance to them (no dump stats).

Personally I am a medically retired SGT from the Army and I stay at home at take care of our amazing son here in Seattle. I play in a large group here in Seattle made up of amazing people who meet twice a month or so to play.

No worries if I cannot play, and I hope you have a great weekend, Frankie
