Running/Playing Missions online, I have a bunch i'm willing to run, and a few i'd like to play Options

[LurkerOutThere]

Hello all

In the interests of minimizing modules people have to eat including myself i'd like to propose runnign some online modules or at least make the tools I have available out there for more people. My availability would be weekend nights after 3:30PM central time. I have a ventrilo server already set up for online gaming and have used IRC and a dice bot for handling the dice problem without incident.

Below is a list of Modules released thus far. Modules with # sign are ones that I have read and can run but have not played (which I believe i can still technicaly play (please corect me if i'm wrong admins) I'd be willing to run these modules and would love to play if someone else was willing to run. Mods with a * I have neither played nor "eaten" everything else i'm willing to run.

SRM00 Everyone's your friend #
SRM01 Ready Set Gogh *
SRM02 Block Wars *
SRM03 Burning Bridges *
SRM04 Monkeywrench #
SRM05 In and Out
SRM06 Jackknifed
SRM07 Knight at the Opera

After this I think i've played most (all?) of the mods released at last years Origins and Gencon so I'd be willing to run those missions as they become available.

Any takers?

I'm definitely interested. I've purchased PDF copies of all 8 of these Missions.

I haven't played with a character, though I have a character I'd like to start. (I've rolled a Theurge I'd really like to play, as well as a technomancer who could make a decent alternate.) I GM'ed SRM03-05 (In and Out) twice at Gen Con last year.

Incidentally, do you know how mission debriefing logs are handled for a mission run online, since the logs are supposed to be signed? I imagine scan and email, but I'm sure someone has done it before.

My understanding is that GMing a Mission does not preclude you from playing, as long as you don't spoil it for the rest of the table (i.e., the rest of the team should do most of the decision making). The primary restriction is you can't play it twice (or at least get a second log for the same mission) with the same character. I'm sure someone will set us straight if I'm wrong.

Several months ago when i floated the idea to Aaron and co about running online they indicated that scaning and sending would be alright or just notating that it was an online module and who the GM was and trying to get siganturees later. I'm pretty much always at Origins or Gencon and would be willing to sign there. Scaning and then sending just seems like a waste to me, I'd almost rather print sign and snail mail.

So I guess the thing to do here is make a date and gather extra interested peeps (at least 3) I would certainly be willing run everyone's your friend or something similar online.

Though a bit out of practice with Shadowrun, I would definitely be interested in plaing the SR Missions online. What online format would you be using?

[LurkerOutThere]

I have a ventrillo server and know a good irc server friendly to that so that's what' i've used in the past. I've emailed people any handouts they've needed but i'm not much for battlemats and the like when I run even at home so this sort of thing works well for me.

[Darquewing]

It sounds pretty awesome. Anyway I could get into the group as a player?

[LurkerOutThere]

Sure lets go ahead and set a date to play, which works better for people and what module should we run? I'm free saturday and sunday's after 3:30 CST.

[Troll Bouncer]

I'd be interested as well, but my availability is only on Saturdays due to my schedule. I completely understand that my inflexibility may cause me to be bypassed.

[Darquewing]

Sounds awesome! I'm pretty sure I can get in on some Saturday gaming.

I could run this saturday if folks thought that was enough lead time otherwise the next time I could run on a saturday would be the thirteenth of next month. Shall i just throw a table of SRM-00 or did folks need something else? Minimum 3 players to run successfully and the more we get the better.

Much as I want to play, the next three weekends are shot for me.

[Darquewing]

I actually had to change my post above. The 6th won't work, but I could do this Saturday though. I can also do the 13th of March. After that I it all depends. Sundays are also good for me, as I tend to stay home that day.

As a side question, do we need to use the regular Build Point system for character creation?

And, as a warning, this will be my first time playing SR in 10+ years. On the plus side, any of the SR missions are okay for me. =)

Well next sunday at least i'm obligated to run at my FLGS however this saturday will work for me. If your interested please drop me a line so i can gauge if we got enough folks. I'm flexible on start time as long as it's after 3:30 CST.

[Darquewing]

I can do Saturday at 3:30 or later. I'd send a PM, but I don't seem to have that option yet.

[LurkerOutThere]

So that's one for Saturday, any other takers? Unfortuantely Darque we can't run with just one person, i feared that might be the case.

[Darquewing]

Aw well. If not, I'm still up for it another time.

[Troll Bouncer]

I'm off between jobs from 530 pm to 730 pm Eastern Time on Saturday

[LurkerOutThere]

It is likely just as well I have a bit of a cold and my voice is kind of going I'm still game to run another time though.

[Teryn180]

I'd like to try playing, I'm relatively new to Shadowrun, but I've been told I'm good at absorbing game information. I'm free pretty much whenever right now too.

[Darquewing]

No worries. I think you will like Shadowrun once you get into some games. Of all the RPGs I played when I was younger, this is the only one that I have really wanted to play again after so long.

[LurkerOutThere]

Ok so next saturday is out for me due to a work commitment and I think next sunday is also a no go. I know this thread was originally started with me willign to run some and I still am however I think i've finally hit the magic critical mass for a local mission group here in town. I still havn't played or eaten modules 1, 2, or 3, is there anyone out there would be willing to run module 1online some weekend afternoon before the 28th? If push comes to shove i'll eat it and try and pick it up later but i'd really like to play it unspoiled if possible. Any volunteers would be appreciated.

[LurkerOutThere]

Any help on this?

[Darquewing]

I could give it a go. My experience with SR4 rules isn't the best yet, but I did run SR2 way back when. Also, I've never ran an online game, but what the heck =) No time like the present.

If your okay with it, just PM with what I need to do for GM'ing the SRMissions and I can work through that. I couldn't run the weekend of the 6th, but could run on the 13th or 14th.

[LurkerOutThere]

Hmmm well if you wanted to run saturday the 13th. Sometime starting after four i'd be forever in your debt. I could then turn around and run something else the next day or the following weekend if anyone is interested. I know my fiance' would be interested if her work schedule suppots it. That gives us 2 people, one or two more and we've got a fully functional table. Plus it's always more fun with the two of us as our runners are also a couple. (Yea, we're those gamers)
