Anybody interested in playing Shadowrun?

[Xael]

I just started playing Shadowrun with my friends and although we haven't really played much yet, the world and rules of Shadowrun started to interest me quite a lot.

So I'm just checking if anybody here would be interested in starting a Shadowrun game, as there seems to be none.

And one thing clear: If people are interested, I absolutely won't GM.

I wouldn't mind playing, although like you I wouldn't GM. I just don't have enough experience with the rules and setting to GM it. Playing would be a blast, though.

I would be absolutely interested in playing this. SR has been one of my most favorite setting since it's early days of 1st Edition.

Which means that you have to be Shadowrun world & rules Mr. know-it-all-mastah.

*Adds you to the "potential Shadowrun GM's" -list.*

Actually, this might be less than ideal. Due to the fact that I started with 1st Edition SR and and a mounting dissatisfaction with the published modules, my world of SR differed in many points from the "official" version. No "Dunkelzahn for President" (well, not yet), no Corp War (well, on a different level ), no Arcology shutdown and so on. Instead we had a massive riot that almost tore Seattle into pieces. (Oh, and we had Chicago, too.) Not to mention that we only in the year 2053/2054, since we started 2050.
So I'm somewhat out-of-touch with "modern" SR.

Ruleswise, there should be nothing to worry about. I always scrounged the newer editions for usefull stuff. (Though I tended to tinker with the established rules a lot, like adding body loactions for combat.)

My current GM feels much the same way as you. He hated the Arcology shutdown, the whole Chicago incident, and Year of the Comet. He started us in 2053, but even though we can't use a lot of the new stuff, it has been a blast.

I'd be interested in whether this game takes off (i.e. if you can find a sucker - I mean - a DM to run it. )

Unless everyone's intimately familiar with SR, I'd request/suggest that a base game is played, that doesn't require in-depth knowledge of the world.
Just a (relatively) quick run-thru of an adventure, or few scenes.

This was it doesn't rely on everyone having the same world-view, and might dodge some of the less-universally-accepted 'canon' that may get in the way of just having fun in a cyber-magic World.

I love Shadowrun, so I'm in too.

Unfortunately only as a player, since every shadowrun game that I've been involved with for the last couple of years I have been the GM.

 

[Wippit Guud]

I'm in for playing. Hard to DM when I don't own any of the books... but I miss the game a lot, so I can wing it playing.

Hm I love Shadowrun, and have both GMed and played, although that was a while back now, when 2nd Edition was big. I would like to run a game, and play by post might work out well, but I would have a tendancy to throw out a lot of the rules and go freeform, or use a very very simplified ruleset, as it seems that the rules would ironically bog down an online game. which would be more roleplaying heavy than combat and complex matrix running or spellcasting. Eh, I am really lazy, and more looking to run in-person games at this point.
