[LFG] Shadowrun 5e

1488463505

Edited 1488710310
Hello and thanking for reading this. I am a long time roleplayer, been doing that for years and I am looking to start playing Shadowrun. It's a game I've avoided in the past because honestly the player's handbook is so poorly organised that trying to learn how to play the game from that is a nightmare. However I've been wanting to try it out so I am looking for someone willing to take me in and teach me system ins and outs. I currently only have the corebook but I imagine it can't be too hard to find the other books should I need any extra. The type of character I am looking to play would be a more combat oriented character though I'm still looking for a game that it's 60 to 70% roleplay. I like my combat but roleplay is my main focus. The reason my character is more combat focused is simply because it's the thing I'm more confortable roleplaying. As for what time and days I have free. Currently I'm available on either Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday and I am free to start a session after 7pm. Timezone is GMT+1. Thank you for your time and I hope to be talking to you soon about setting up a character and getting drilled through the rules. EDIT: I've managed to figure out a good deal of the system already, between the nightmare of a book and some internet search I've managed to understand enough to make a character (It did help that I'm not using magic, rigging or going into the matrix). Bottom line is, I don't need as much to be taught to me.
Edited the availability, I also have Thursdays free.
Edited the availablity, now I got Sundays free as well as my Savage Worlds camapaign came to a close and I've made progress figuring out the game so you won't need to babysit me as much.
Hi there You might want to get a copy of Chummer 5 which is a 5th edition downloadable character generator
I did run an online shadowrun game a while ago it was fun i;ve got all editions so far
I've actually took a look at chummer already, noticed that when I was looking through available games and someone mentioned it. What I really need now is a game to join in one of my free days.
Not to snowball game suggestions, but I was looking at Stars Without Number. On my list to try. I know everyone has a preference, but is Shadowrun more universally adopted for space RPs?

no its really cyberpunk there is some info about the solar system
Yeah, shadowrun is not space, it's cyberpunk with magic.

I know everyone has a preference, but is Shadowrun more universally adopted for space RPs?  While there are rules for going into space, it's generally going to kill any use of magic, and there's not a whole lot of places officially fleshed out beyond research stations and Zurich Orbital. (aka, the most secret and impregnable location in the entire setting)
Hoi chummer ,  I have a few games of shadowrun under my belt and If you are planning to get a group going I'd love to throw my hat into the ring . I can help char creation and such ( love making chars ) and from what you're describing it sounds like you'd like to try either black trenchcoat or mirrorshades setting which I prefer aswell.
Well I'm looking to join a game. Whether a new one or an ongoing one, doesn't really matters much to me. I know a bit of the shadowrun universe mostly thanks to the PC shadowrun games that have came out in the last few years. I've actually managed to figure down character creation for the most part and have made a concept for what I want to try out playing. It really is a case of being able to find someone who will take me in on one of the 4 days I have free in the week.
I am still looking for a game so if anyone is willing to take me, I'd appreciate it.
