It is getting harder to play Shadowrun recently (family, work, other activities, etc.), but I still want to play the game. I saw the program that is coming out for D&D 4.0 that will allow players to play their game from different areas. This means you can play a game of D&D even if you are not in the same country. There will always be a game going on. I thought a similar tool for SR would be great. I was thinking of starting an Open Source project that would create the tool set needed to run a SR game. GMs would be able to host a game and invite players to the season. A built in IRC chat program will be used to let players communicate and there would different visualization tools to show what is happening in the game.

Of course I would only go ahead and start this project if there was first interest in using the tool set, and secondly people that could help me program the tools.

EDIT:
After looking over the ShadowNet project I think that it would be better to develop with that project rather then start a new one (why reinvent the wheel). I would encourage others to take a look at the project as well.
