My commitment and promise, for the moment, is for a small adventure, which would be self-contained. The Sixth World is grim, but we still like it too much! But another recruitment seems to have fallen through, and I just can't bear some of my chummers' faces (even if I can't technically see them) when that happens. I've long had plans to start a Shadowrun campaign, and I've had ideas, but I've never had the time, energy, but mostly, belief in myself that I could pull it off. Ripples in the Lake is set in Seattle, 2076. The Harry Dresden books, urban fantasy and cyberpunk, they all are a good fit. Inspiration would be the Shadowrun Returns video game, Bright - which is officially unofficially known as Shadowrun 2020 in my RPG area. I've read a lot about it, and I'm looking forward to bringing the shadows to your home as well. Dragons and fae creatures as CEOs and COOs of companies wealthier than the richest of countries.įour years later, it remains my favourite setting by a long shot, and I've jumped at every scarce opportunity to play it. Hackers delving into a web so deep and intricate, that at some point it has a life on its own, both alien and unknown to us, despite being our creation. I've been a fan, putting it mildly, of Shadowrun ever since one fateful night I happened to stumble upon an artefact bearing the name of 'Shadowrun: Dragonfall', and thirty odd hours (and one short nap in between) later, I told myself, How the hell did this setting escape my notice for so long?!Ī troll with a minigun and an Native American shaman, taking cover behind a NYPD police car. That look that you've undoubtedly seen GM's give a player on your table (maybe even you, at some point) when they bring that technically legal half-drow-half-orc-half-drow-again-and-half-mutant-for-good-measure? I don't want to give that look over the internet. I have a warm spot in my heart for players who help others understand the mechanics of the game, triply so when they do so with understanding of the other player's concept. Friction OoC is completely unacceptable. Even though I adore the mechanical parts of Shadowrun. My personal preference is Roleplaying always trumps Roll-playing, unconditionally. And I've lately noticed how much I love the Oxford comma, and adding brackets (even in places where brackets shouldn't be).
I've ran some games IRL, a couple of them quite successful, and I've been playing tabletop RPG's since 2013. Some of you (or most, as I suspect) may know me by my other handle on these forums, The Lion Cleric, or TLC. Your (hopeful) GM for this game is a PbP gamer veteran and a PbP GM grasshopper. As a firework explodes in a dragon's head above you, the shadows recede for a brief moment, only to envelop you back. Another year you may not have thrived, but you survived. The feeling of the drug of choice kicks in as you raise your glass to a new year. On the other hand, the impending Corporate Revision, the word lingering on every sarariman and corp-drone, yet hiding in the darkest corner of their mouth in fear of bringing in the Corporate Court's attention. Last year's Proposition 23, the legislation bringing the Ork Underground as fully fledged, if still suspect, neighbourhood of Seattle, bringing in the lowest crime and highest tax revenues recorded since Crash 2.0. The end of The Great Dragon Civil War was the Christmas present nobody dared hope for. Tangible despite even the infamous Tacoma Aroma, all who listen, no, feel the heartbeat of Seattle, its beat, feel a rhythm clear through even the thickest of New Year's highs. Outlasting the familiar smell of fireworks, weaving past the scent of the pure white snow turning to dark gray muck the moment it touches the tarmac.
