Hey, guys. I've finally decided to break down and give back a bit by running a game. It will start canon and rapidly devolve from there. The rules are simple:
  • All characters should be under the biological age of 20.
  • While characters can be shadowrunners, it is by no means a requirement. Gangers, wageslaves, and any city resident may find themselves wrapped up as part of the plot.
  • Ghouls, shapeshifters, drakes, etc, aren't allowed (for reasons which will become clear).
  • PCs can be of any racial variant (with the above exceptions).
  • Off-site deckers and Otaku are discouraged (ie, the type who generally hang back and perform overwatch throughout a mission). I'm not afraid to do Matrix runs, but the aforementioned character types will generally be fairly useless in this game for, again, reasons which will be made obvious.
  • Characters are built on 123 BP or the priority system. BeCKS will be considered if you really, really want to use it.
  • All characters are encouraged to take the flaw "Hung Out To Dry". Contact based edges and flaws are discouraged. Characters who want to start with contacts can start with up to three Seattle-based contacts, no more than one of which can be over the age of 19.
  • Standard starting gear rules apply, however, keep in mind the character's age and background when choosing. I doubt anyone under 20 has 1,000,000 :nuyen: worth of cyberware implanted (though a rich kid might have been subjected to a wide range of genetic tampering before birth via genetech, etc). Cultured bioware which meets the availability rules is allowed.
  • Custom vehicles and gear allowed with approval, though it's likely to be difficult to get for most stuff.
  • PCs should be able to Play Well With Others
  • Excessive edges and flaws are a no-no. The definition of excessive is entirely arbitrary ;)
  • Characters with a detailed background will receive a karma bounty.
Characters should be in .doc [edit].txt[/edit] or .sr3 format and be sent to tinkergnome (at) comcast (dot) net.
