SR5 New PbP Game Recruitment, Nothing's Free in the Free Zone Options

[Lobo0705]

Hello all,

So, having run one PbP game and participated in 5 or 6 more, I'm ready to launch another game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've learned that it is important for all participants to have the same expectations going in, otherwise it simply falls apart.

I've learned that as soon as the "action" stops (whether that is roleplay, or combat, or planning) - the game starts to hiccup like an engine with a bad transmission, and stalls - so the GM has to step in and fix it.

With those two things in mind, here is a little backstory on me and what I'm looking for in a game.

I work at a job where I am in front of a computer 8 hours a day, with a lot of downtime. I will post every day (whether OOC or IC) and be able to post multiple times. I have played Shadowrun since 1e back in 1990 when I was in college, and have never really liked any other role-playing game as much as this one. Having said that, I did not make the change from 3e to 4e - skipping directly from 3e to 5e.

I currently run a 5e PnP game set in Denver, and I find the setting compelling, with lots of potential. The game will take place primarily in the UCAS sector, but players can of course travel to other sectors if needed. Your character should be a resident of the UCAS sector, or if not, have an excellent reason for having to cross back and forth from whatever sector you live in to the UCAS on a regular basis. (Any questions on this, I'm happy to help).

Here is what I'm looking for:

Four players who can post at least once a day. You don't have to post more than once (obviously if you can, that's awesome) but you have to be able to post at least once a day. If you think you can't, please don't join. I totally understand that many people can't do that (or don't want to) - and that is fine, but it only takes one player to start not posting regularly and it just kills the game.

If something comes up, your daughter is sick, your wife is ready to kill you for being on the computer too much, etc, just PM me, and I will help move the scene forward for you. I will try and make sure your character acts and speaks in a way consistent with the way you have been playing him/her - and I won't just get them killed.

My game is not pink mohawk. It doesn't mean you can't make characters who are combat oriented, but don't expect to run around with Panther Assault Cannons in milspec armor and not get arrested pretty quickly.

For power level, I am comfortable if you have a 6 skill in your primary area and 4-5 in your secondary areas. I would prefer characters without dumpstats - i.e. "1"s in a stat - unless you did that to add to roleplay - a 1 strength character is really weak, a 1 intelligence character is really dumb, etc.

My preference for my games is light on magic/technomancy. So, while I'm not saying there can't be a mage, I would prefer not to have 4 magically active characters, and I'm not a fan of technomancers either, so if we could have a decker instead, that would be great.

With all that in mind, if you come and play, I will do my level best to make the game fun for everyone. Each character, regardless of skillset, should have a chance to shine.

Characters should be made with standard 5e rules. When the adventure is over, I will start another, and you can keep the same characters upgrading them with karma or create new ones if you wish.

Any questions, please feel free to ask - look forward to gaming with you.
