A face he calls me.... the most premium battle mage this side of .... *scoffs and blows a big bubble.*


Been a while since I dipped my toe in Shadowrun fun.
I'll fire up Chummer and build out a Weapon specialist.


I’ve started reading Shadowrun fiction recently, and have really enjoyed it. Never played the game though. If you’re willing to put up with a newbie, I’m down to give it a whirl. What’s not too hard to figure out and not totally redundant with the current party?

The game is amazing, I think you'd like it a lot


Having issues with home internet. So responses may be spotty

Perfectly fine. Im a bit rusty at running shadowrun, so im none too worried


Zombie survival? How do you feel about a summoner shaman? Gotta have someone peeking into the astral so they can get possessed by shedim, right?

Maybe elf with high Cha, can play the Face while having summoned spirits floating around in case of combat.

He's a manipulator whose main combat spell would be Stunbolt ("go to sleep") but usually wants to avoid combat with Influence ("these aren't the droids you're looking for") and Control Emotions ("you look so tired, you should take a break"). I want him to have the Black Magic tradition and Seductress mentor spirit but the version of Chummer I found doesn't have them; if he gets picked up I can modify the sheet.


I have never played Shadowrun other than the video games. This looks interesting and I made a character, Warren Connery. He is made to be a breaking and entering specialist.

In a past life he was a BLT star with a wife he loved very much. She was killed in an accident that fried her brain and severely damaged him. He can get lost in old BLTs of her if he isn't careful.


i'll pick characters tomorrow


im going to pick Manjit and Warren Connery.

go ahead and post in the discussion thread


Ho chummer!

looking for a player to join our fun shadowrun group. The groups infiltrator/spy build has dropped from the game. So the group is in need of another member! No, you do not have to play as an infiltrator. if you want to put together a troll shaman or a dwarven weapon specialist, for example, feel free to! it really is open.

Game rules: 4th ed Shadowrun

starting build points: 425

Books to use: only use the core rulebook, the 20th anniversary 4e rulebook.

Everyone must have at least one negative quality. You can only take incompetence once.

Concept: Zombie survival in the Nu age.

Where the party is at now: With a massive snowstorm dumping several feet of snow per hour onto seattle, the group has braved the dangerous trek over Elliot bay by ferry. the crossing proved fatal, not for the group, but for the other 'runners that sought to deny the group the job, only to discover the true speed of an adept with a pistol. The troll died from a surprise double tap to the back of the head. The rest of the opfor runners subdued, the party was picked up by a man in an old school diesel pickup truck and brought to the mansion where the mission starts. Inside a small tent on the grounds of Bainbridge manor, the party learns more about the secret underground research station nick named "the hive". They learn that it is here that ultra secret tests and biologic and chemical weapons are developed, and security is a premium. A guardian AI construct named "the red queen" rules over this domain, with a directive to ensure that containment is maintained.

This sounds interesting. I will try and put an infiltrator/spy type together tomorrow.


I've never played SR ever. So not sure if you'd allow a complete newbie to try

Yeah, that’s where I’m at too. Really interesting universe, I’ve enjoyed some of the fiction that I’ve read. But I’d be learning the system from square one.


Here 's a covert op replacement I played here some years ago.
I'd have to check my chummer file for how many points were used and adjust accordingly.

Hehe, actaully the campaign was with yourself GM , as Skullcrusha!


holy crap! that feels like a lifetime ago! lol


@seth86 and Ouachitonian: welllll crap..... if i wasnt going on vacation tomorrow id help you guys....

my 2 cents, find a copy of the fourth edition 20th anniversary core rulebook. read the section titled "game concepts". does a great job distilling what SR is about, and dice pools and what not.
