[QUOTE="radmod, post: 5369017, member: 93008"] Alright, so we will be playing Shadowrun 4, I believe with all the books. I'm a complete newbie at it. We have a Street Samurai, a Technomancer, and either a Face or Magician of some sort. Since it doesn't matter to me what I play, playing a Gunslinger Adept was mentioned.
