As part of an effort to bring two (possibly more) gaming societies in Edinburgh (Scotland) together, it has been proposed that we try and get some cross-society games going. One suggestion was to run regular (weekly, if possible) Shadowrun Missions games in both of the societies, hopefully adding regular cross-society events at conventions and similar. I'd just like to check that my understanding of Shadowrun Missions is OK.

I'm assuming that what we are doing counts as 'home gaming' rather than an event, and I was just thinking that the documentation on this topic was somewhat sparse. It strikes me that, although the Missions stuff is generally designed for convention play, it should work fairly well for weekly play also.

I have to admit that I've never played in a Missions game, and don't know of many people who have done so. I am, however, and experienced Shadowrun GM, having run several 3rd edition games and a few 4th edition games (including some at the UK's Gaming Nationals, which were co-hosted by my society and a few others, including one of the societies we're hoping to boost relations with through this exercise).

Does anyone have any advice for someone in my situation? Has anyone tried doing this before? Can someone tell me exactly what paperwork will need to be done for home play? Is it basically the same, except that I don't need to email the coordinator to request the scenarios?
