i haven't played a successful tabletop game in years, but i'm participating in--as a GM or a player--fifteen SR games, one D&D game, and one Aberrant game. they even managed to trick me into playing a Vampire game, the sly bastards.

Well, I'd like to play online, as I'm our groups main GM. But somehow I just don't feel like playing on boards, as it takes so long to finish, if it ever finishes. I'd like playing over IRC/chatrooms if possible. Are there any other people that would refer playing IRC/chat games?

There are also other methods, including the MU* (MUD, MUCK, MUSH, MOO) method where everyone logs in to a central server and plays games there, or the chat room model where everyone plays in a chat room.  In general, chat room games are done with a set group of players at a set time every week, day, two weeks, or some other time interval.  A chat game tends to take somewhere between 1.5 and 2 times the amount of time it would take to do the same thing in a table top environment, if my experiences are any indication.  An MU* tends to involve a large playerbase which can revolve in and out through various games. 

I've no idea where to find a chat game (I'd imagine looking for chatrooms on your favorite IM program that start with "Shadowrun" would be a start), but you can find many MU*s here.  Just select search and punch in shadowrun.  There are also drawbacks to these types of games.

TinkerGnome the best place to find a chat based RPG is either at WebRpg or at OpenRPG. I prefer Openrpg because it is totally free to use and simply requires downloading a few programs so you can access the games. With dice rollers, maps, etc. etc..... I don't think I could stand a PBEM game anymore. As for getting into a game both websites have forums with listings for games and shadowrun is halfway popular on both and GM's would have no shortage of players. ((why is that no one wants to GM???)) And I've also seen the occasional add looking for players here on Dumpshock as well for games on those servers, hell I'll probably putting my own add up soon enough. Now if I could just get paid for all this good advertising i'm doing I'd be set :love: .
