Shadowrun 5e Campaign: "From The Bottom" -- Bi-weekly Sunday Afternoon CST and Various -- Beginners Welcome.

Shadowrun: From the bottom. The sixth world is a harsh place; it certainly hasn’t done you any favors. Considering what you’ve been through, you feel lucky to be alive but sufficed to say circumstances have led you to the shadows; maybe your only option left. Any semblance of your life before is gone; no friends, no family, no connections, and maybe worst of all -- no money, To the Corps, you are just another cog in the system that has fallen away -- discarded, never to be heard from again. But the one thing you do have is a gun and the know how to use it. However, in the world of shadowrunning, you are as green as they come. Without any practical experience, crews pass up your offers to help out on a run and no reputable fixer is willing to risk their bottom line on a loner with no qualifications. Amid another cool night deep within the slums of Seattle your situation caught the attention of a man who calls himself Armon. He introduces himself as a seeker of talent and flips a credstick your way containing ¥100 and an address written on the underside. The lowlifes of society huddled around the burning barrel with you shake their heads subtly, warning you against being taken in by the man’s pitch but his parting words already made up your mind. “Welcome to the Shadows, time to build your reputation.” This campaign will be designed for beginner shadowrunners using level one characters. Prior experience with the Shadowrun Campaign setting or the Shadowrun 5th edition rules are not required, but players selected to be in the campaign must make an effort to familiarize yourself with each of these things in the interest in keeping sessions moving as smoothly as possible. People choosing to be deckers or mages _must_ be intimately familiar with the rules of those systems. The campaign will kick off in late November, but we’ll use the next month to get a solid cast of players together and create characters. The plan is to work with a flexible schedule, but our main session time will be Sunday afternoons on a bi-weekly basis, the time-zone is CST. Hopefully we can complete an entire run with each session, not to exceed three hours per sitting. It will be a connected campaign with an overarching narrative so people who want to make a commitment to a long term group are appreciated. This is a roleplay oriented game so roleplaying with be encouraged and rewarded but not super strictly enforced (metagaming at a minimum, please). Only respectful players who just want to have a good time and can go with the flow are welcome! Not to be blunt, but I’m a 30 year old guy and my patience for rudeness that ruins everyone’s fun ran out a long time ago. Any other questions, post them here. If you are interested, please say so on here as well as list of times your are normally available.

Will you be using Mission Rules or some sort of House Rules?

The Question said: Will you be using Mission Rules or some sort of House Rules? Forgive my ignorance about the Shadowrun Missions system, but isn't that just the core rulebook plus errata? I am more than willing to entertain house rule suggestions and that's something we'll definitely discuss using.

That's a great pitch. Unfortunately Sunday afternoon to you is the wee hours of Monday morning to me. So instead of applying, I'll have to simply wish you luck with the campaign. Good Luck.

I'm definitely interested, been looking for a Shadowrun game for a while now, but will this be text only or voice only? I'm hard of hearing so playing through voicechat can get a bit difficult for me. That said, I'm usually available during the weekends in the afternoons PST time.

This sounds very interesting. I would like to join in. I am quite familiar with both SR5 (I am in fact running a pen-and-paper game myself) and roll20. I am a calm, respectful and patient old-school roleplayer with lots of experience from Shadowrun and other games. 

I would be interested but Sunday wouldn't work for me.

Well more or less there is specific rules for character creation, such as you can't have anything with an Avaliability over 12 at chargen and some qualities are not legal, it's more or less because some qualities aren't relavant Here's the link:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/022gpaf8wkohvwy/SRM%20Chicago%20FAQ%20Ver%200.1.pdf?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/022gpaf8wkohvwy/SRM%20Chicago%20FAQ%20Ver%200.1.pdf?dl=0</a>

Answering&nbsp;some of the questions: @The Question That looks like a good baseline, so lets say that as far as character creation goes, we'll go by the Shadowrun Missions altered character creation rules; however , if someone wants to use a disallowed trait for roleplaying reasons they can make an argument for it on a case by case basis @Karl V. Sounds great! I have had a Shadowrun 5e book since it came out, but was too busy running a Dark Heresy campaign, so this will be my first game in 5e, but I will be well read in the material by the time the campaign starts.&nbsp; @Medipack It will be a voice and video required game. &nbsp;I have never run a text only game, but that does sound like an interesting idea I might want to consider in the future.&nbsp; I'll have a LFG listing up at the end of the night, I'll post the link on here as soon as I list it live.&nbsp;

LFG listing is here: &nbsp;I'm going to keep it up for at least a week before I start adding in members to the campaign proper. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/33267/shadowrun-from-the-bottom" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/33267/shadowrun-from-the-bottom</a>
