First time poster here. I'm looking to get involved in Shadowrun Missions, but there does not appear to be anyone in my area (Binghamton, NY) that is interested in playing. I have a convention coming up in November, and would like to run some SM adventures...but I would like to play them first to help build up my confidence in the game first.
I seem to recall reading that online play was going to be a possibility. Has it just been slow getting off the ground? Or have I been at the wrong place at the wrong time and just missed the opportunity? |

I was talking to Rich about online SRM and I guess you beat me to it! :) What medium are you using to run SRM? Chat program? Online RPG? I'm one of the creaters of ArcanisOnline and I'm looking to create a similar online group for SRMs. Vince |

I'd be interested in online SRM. Being the only one in the area who runs SRM (And dismally. Nobody can get to gether with any regularity, and we've lost so many players...) I don't get to play them much (Or at all, at the moment.). I'd like to.

We simply use an instant messaging program (MSN Messenger). To reduce the obvious lacks between a real and an online game, I do a lot of preparation before an online game. Firstly, I type in a file the most important blocks of informations, so when I have to tell the players an important part, I only have to copy paste it in the conversation window. For the maps and files, I take screen shots of the images, and I create image files. To give access to these files, I place them in an encrypted and password-protected page placed on the group website. So when for example a runner gets a map, I give him the URL of the file and a password to access it.
I know that it would be possible to have an unified interface that would allow online games to run greatly. However I know that my online games got great success, with my rudimental techniques. I've been told that the games duplicate well a real life game, so I think it works. If you want more details on how we do things, feel free to ask! |

I'm hoping to offer something in the fall, after things calm down...
right now, i plan on running it similar to Dark Father, although i seem to be steering towards AOL IM since it has the dice-bot...if anyone knows of a dice-bot or other way to roll dice (so that everyone can see) while using MSN Messenger, please let me know. |

I was introduced to Shadowrun Missions at Dragon*Con, and had a blast...literally in the case of Demolition Run. Doublecrossed involved alot of thinking, and turned out we were overprepared. Dark and Stormy Night was...stormy. Mental note to establish a meeting place before going to the run site in the middle of the night in the pouring rain, having only met the other runners on the phone line...that's a recipe for friendly fire.
But anyways...I'm hooked. Wish I could have caught Forced Recon, and I look forward to playing more. Having found the modules online...they look simple enough that there may be the potential for me to dabble in GMing for my online friends who can't make it to Cons. :) Anyways...first time poster...don't shoot me if I put this in the wrong place. (*runs spellcheck* Shadowrun isn't in the spellchecker? Odd...) |

Hi, Rich. Ron, here. ;) Thought that I'd take a look in and see how the new "living campaign" was going. Margaret and I are thinking of starting to play (for a change). Regarding use of AOL IM, I have heard of occasional problems with the dicebot. OpenRPG works pretty well, but I have seen games of various RPGs run in AIM, MSN and OpenRPG. They all work as long as everyone has the gorund rules straight, the ref has a way of getting large text items posted, and there is an etiquette so that the ref doesn't get spammed with private mails. |

Ucon!!! Wow, my wife and I may get there again for the first time in a few years, this year. I will check for your slots in the pre-reg package. You have two "newbies" (to SRM, that is) if we can get there. Ron |

I just want to say that I never intended for Demolition Run to be that deadly -- I've heard reports of total party kills when playing the module. However, having finally had a chance to run the module myself, I've found that an unprepared team can easily get eaten alive.
Lesson to be learned: ALWAYS DO YOUR LEGWORK! (My team didn't do so, and missed important facts that nearly got one of them killed, had the GM [me] not decided to be nice and fiat the character's survival.) |

Having GMed all introductory adventures with the exception of A Fork in Fate's Path I got to say that I had this problem with most of these adventures. Mission Briefing was safe enough, but Demolition Run almost killed the team before the real run started (they tried to raid one of the delivery trucks). The opposition forces in FORCEd RECON were definitely overwhelming if played out as planned in the scenarios. And A Dark and Stormy Night was exceptionally dangerous with the team barely making it out (carrying an unconscious troll team member all the way). Granted, all these adventures were that dangerous because the team preferred a fight instead of a stealth approach. That proofed deadly in all SR Missions adventures. I hope they learned their lessons and will do it more professionally next time. |

For now, I think the deadliest mission was Mission Briefing since the players did their preparation for the next 2 scenarios. But for the first one even a good preparation can't solve everything. One of my players even used his Hand of God to prevent this abrupt death. For Fork, well I ran it yesterday on MSN messenger but a maintenance shutdown happened and we couldn't finish it. An it,d for Stormy Night, I can't wait to see it! I heard so much about it's high level of difficulty!
