My buddy and I are looking to start a game of 5E Shadowrun, and I have (graciously) volunteered to serve as the GM. We're looking for 3-5 folks that would enjoy the type of game we're envisioning (see below), and that additionally meet our requirements (again, see below). A Few Caveats We're newb friendly, because we're both "newbs" at this point. I haven't played an RPG in over a year and he's brand new to VTTs and Roll20. We're both "newbs" at SR, although as a kid I remember reading 3rd ed. and thinking, "I hope the world in 2011 is REALLY LIKE THAT..." Disappointment. That being said, I'm well-versed with the 5th ed. rules. I'm pretty solid with R20 but don't expect fancy API scripts beyond some basics. We'll be using the SR character sheets and some handy pieces like initiative scripts, but that's it. The Game Times: We're both 9-5 guys with families, so we're aiming for a weekday game (Tues, Wed, or Thu) at night (8pm-11pmish / midnight CST). Game will be 2-3x month. Realistically we'll probably need to be flexible in scheduling dates given work schedules, etc. We're thinking of a somewhat "sandboxy" game (as much as SR can be), driven by the PC backgrounds and what the group enjoys. Ideally this will turn into a campaign lasting a good while (months?) Seattle is our preference for a setting but that is going to depend in part on what the group decides (see above). Our Ideal Group 18+. We're in our 30s and like to drink when we play, and maybe even drop the D-word (oh, drek!) Working Mic/Cam Some experience with RPGs, but this isn't a big deal (newbs welcome, see above!) We enjoy min/maxing, combat, etc., but we're not looking for die-hard powergamers People with a good sense of humor (bad ones work too, I guess the most important thing is that ... you have one?) We enjoy company that can think creatively, spell, and tell a good (bad?) fart joke. You should expect to contribute a couple of posts or notes offline, between game sessions to keep the action rolling when we meet. And, in case you're worried that as the GM, I'll give this other guy any preference.... WRONG. He'll be the most likely group member to be assaulted by a stealth pack of wared-up assassins, astral vampires, rogue Tir Nan Og Elven death shamans, or Matrix lice. Antibiotic resistance Matrix lice. You made it this far? Good for you! We're looking to seriously vet the group, so please send me a PM with some information about yourself (please, be descriptive, don't just PM me and say something like "hey saw your post i have a cybershaman can i play okay thx"). We're not in any rush to get started and instead are much more interested in finding some the right people to enjoy a long-term game with. So, shoot me that PM! Once we have enough people I'll get a campaign created and share the link. Cheers, Ben
