Recruitment: Old World Charm, Runnin' in the 'Port Options

[quentra]

I've wanted to run a game out of somewhere other than Seattle or NYC for a while, and decided Europort was a good a place as any. There's only a small blurb on it in Runner's Havens, but I've been in the Hauge/Rotterdam area, so its not that hard to extrapolate.

I'm trying for a steel black kinda game, heavy on the black. More covert-ops than anything, but there will be chrome elements. (Believe you me, those pink mohawked trolls can be damned sneaky at times.) There's gonna lots of backstabbing, both NPC and PC-wise, so be prepared.

Speaking of PCs, I'm looking for five players. I want at least one or two to be company men of some sort, or owe huge debts to some criminal organization. For example, Joe Runner might actually be Juan Gomez, super secret company agent for Aztech, while Bill Runner might owe his life or limbs to the Vory. I want a conflicted game, where PCs will eventually come to cross-purposes. However, the ability to fit in well with a team is expected. I don't want antisocial adepts and emo almost cyberzombies. The characters can have flaws, sure, but not to the point where a character can't function within a team.

Rules-wise, I'm going RAW, plus blakkies contact rule (Free Contact points for Cha*2). All books except Arsenal (which I unfortunately don't have yet.) No ridiculous builds, but kinda twinky characters might be allowed, if you have a well-thought out background. I might add different rules if I really see a need to, but those are pretty common and work decently.

I'm not expecting the PCs to be total professionals just yet, and the same goes for the company man/men. They might screw up or piss the wrong person off and have to call in a 'favor' they'd rather not have their teammates know. Or not. I'm looking forward to playing with the DS community.

Oh, you can PM or post questions/suggestions here. This'll be my first SR4 game, but I've GMed for SR3 TT for two years, and I play a couple of SR4 games right now, so I have a bit of experience with the system.
