Hello,
fellow role-players! I'm currently looking for some players!
System: Shadowrun, 5th Edition.
Day and time: Tuesdays, 6:15 PM GMT
(9:15 pm for me, if anyone is interested).
Number of players: 3-5.
Requirements:
1) Ability to speak understandable English
(duh!).
2) Willingness to be a participant, not a
spectator.
3) Willingness to not be a dick.
4) Desire to role-play and not roll-play.
5) A decent microphone and a stable Internet connection. 6) Tolerance for a bit of crass humor.
What you're getting:
1) A GM that has some 10 years of game mastering
experience, though somewhat new to Shadowrun (come on, it's a huge game, and
I've ran only a couple of campaigns).
2) A non-railroaded experience, where you are in
total control of what you and your character want and don't want to do.
3) A world that reacts to your actions.
How to apply:
Contact me via Skype (my login is: vnergalv),
and we will have a chat. I do this only
because much too often I had people apply for a game and then turn out to not
own a usable headset, or having an accent so thick, I just could not understand
them (I consider my English quite good for a second language, but it's still a
second language).
Plus, we will be using Skype for voice
communication, so adding me to your friend list is unavoidable, if you want to
play.
Posting
questions is OK. But I will ignore "want to join" type of messages.
If you want to join - add me on Skype.
Notes:
1) Shadowrun is a complex, and even complicated
game system. You will be required to skim through the rulebook, and to READ the
rules specific to your character type (so, if you are a shaman - please read
the Magic chapter, because a player asking you first session "So... umm...
how do I cast spells, exactly?" is just insulting). This rant does not
mean I will not help you. But I will not spoon-feed rules to players.
2) Being versed in the setting is a plus, but
not required. Look up a wiki or something. The setting is so huge that I can't
say I know it that good. But it's enough to run an enjoyable game.
3) Regarding character sheets - we will figure
something out. I know there is Chummer, and I encourage people to use it when
you plan your character. But Chummer is far from perfect. It is plagued by
mistakes (multiple mistakes and spotty errata in the books does not help) and
bugs. I've even heard complaints about character saves being corrupted. So I
would prefer you to store your character sheet in another form (maybe we will
set up a Google Drive with Excel charsheets).
4) Setting
wise, the character are mostly likely to be based in Havana, but the runs will
happen all around the Caribbean League and neighboring nations.
Feel free to ask any
questions in this thread, PM'ing me, or contacting me via Skype.
