Gainful Employment (Recruiting) Options

[Sir_Psycho]

I'm bored and lamenting the amount of Shadowrun books I've got contrasted with the lack of playing I've managed over the years. Because of this I'm not the quickest GM, but I think that won't be a problem with a play by post game.

I'm offering an SR3 for up to THREE players. I'm avoiding a huge game. A bare familiarity with the rules is a must. Also, I'm on Dumpshock a fair bit, so if you've got plenty of time, that's a total bonus.

As for game focus, I like a well-rounded team with a focus on information, team-work, skill-sets and the right tools for the job. I'm not big on huge combat, although it's always a possibility. I honestly avoid vehicle combat. Role-playing is important, I'll be expecting 20 Questions sheets to go with your stats, and I'm looking to devote time to individual character advancement, too.

As for character options, I'm fairly flexible, just throw things at me. As a guideline, I'm looking at using 140 BPs, so your characters will be fairly competent in their areas, but I don't want one-trick-ponies, good broad skillsets will be rewarded. As will a nice complement of knowledge and technical skills. No teenagers, you've been around for a while, so age should be around 30 and up.

A character with a specialisation in Decking and computers will be a must. I really like versatility in a magic user, and if you're interested, I'd be open to discussing a cheap system of buying extra spell points at character creation, to facilitate versatility.

I've got pretty much every SR3 book at my disposal, as well as piles of others and supplementary material, so feel free to use anything you want in character creation, just buzz me if you've got any questions.

Hope you're interested.

---------------------------EDIT:
Team so far (confirmed):

Glyph - Spider - Face/Psionic
Kliko - Kliko - Ork Mercenary

Yet to receive character sheet:
Mister Juan - Decker/B&E Expert
I'm looking for one more team member. Ideally a decker. If you're a rare one who actually wants to play a SR3 decker, then let me know.

Also, if you can build a character that I like, I'll probably be convinced to drop the 3 member limit.
