Hoi! So here's the deal. Got three runners here looking for a fixer. No experience with the system, but picking up the lingo quick as you can blink. Or... uh... well, sort of. Was that terrible? That seemed terrible. I tried. Anyway, hey. I and two of my friends have been itching to play a Shadowrun (preferably 5e) game for some time now, specifically with a good GM (who isn't one of us). All three of us have run our own games in various systems before (D&D 4e, FATE, Apocalypse World) and know very well how much work a GM puts into a game, and what the difference between a bad player and a good player is. No passive observers in this group, showing up like they're here to watch a movie and be entertained. We want to play. We're heavy roleplayers and enjoy putting in the time to develop our characters' backstories, and having them grow in-game as well. We're still trying to pick up the lingo for Shadowrun, but the gist is that one of the people in this group is leaning towards playing black trenchcoat, one is definitely going to be mirrorshades, and I am thinking either mirrorshades or pink mohawk. Is this the correct terminology when discussing the style we want to approach the game with? I don't know. Either way, this is all subject to the opinion of whoever is GMing, of course. If it's hard to design a game for players who have already picked their approach, then we can easily backtrack and hash it out as a group. The reason we're looking for someone to run a Shadowrun 5e game for us, rather than one of us running it and looking for players, is that we kind of need someone to hold our hand a little. We need someone to show us the ropes in Shadowrun. I mean, I've been reading a lot about it, and we've all played the Shadowrun Returns CRPGs, but I don't feel ready to GM this monster yet. In short: We need an adult! Beyond that, we just finished up two campaigns and a couple members of our normal group can't play much in the coming months, as they're finishing up their last year of college, so we're taking this time to prepare the next campaigns and hopefully meet some like-minded people who may want to be players in them. Availability: We're free basically any weeknight, except Friday. We're rarely available on the weekends, so it would be really hard to plan a weekend game. The time of day, for the weeknights, are flexible. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. Let us know if you'd be interested in running a game for us!
