I am looking for somewhere between three and five serious minded (meaning serious about role-playing, not Steven Wright impersonators) role-players for a three adventure “campaign starter.” This will be three adventures intended to balloon into a campaign using character backgrounds and in game activities.

Here are character creation guidelines:

125 build points (Standard Availability/Ratings restrictions))
Race: Any save Otaku
Magic: Any
Attributes: 50 points max
Skills: Any
Resources: any
Edges and Flaws: Six points

Exceptions can, and will, be made for outstanding story line.

As with most dumpshock GMs, I prefer character driven stories so make them interesting. Step outside your comfort zone and try something you’ve not attempted before (though not a requirement). Creative storytelling will take you farther than anything, followed by interesting/unique concepts.

Deadline for submissions is 0000 on 5/31/05. Completed characters will be due at 0000 6/4/05. First post will start on 6/11/05. I look forward to gaming with you. Game on!

Questions are encouraged.

It will begin in Seattle but will not necessarily stay in Seattle. As to the scope of the game? It will begin as a "standard" Shadowrun game but the characters will quickly get caught up in a power struggle playing out in the shadows.

I have a char who been through a few runs on here, so he has karma and a bit of cash. Will you still accept him? (If not, I'll just write up a new character)

I would like to join the game. I have in mind a pseudo-Rigger Physical Adept smuggler, who is an amnesiac 'immortal elf' (and chose a new name following his loss of memory, making him start from scratch with his magic).

As this is my first attempt to run on Dumpshock, you’ll forgive the novice mistakes I make. I neglected to give an accurate description of the campaign. I would like to remedy this oversight. To those of you who have already submitted characters; if you would like to revise or submit new character ideas; feel free to do so. So here we go… again:

In the corporate jungle there are fish of many sizes. Guppy research assistants swim the shallows, doing their best to stay out of sight of the Bass Research Directors who, in turn, keep out of the Shark Executives looking for lunch.
The world of shadows has its hierarchy as well. A delicate balance that those in power seek to maintain. What would happen should one of these… Sharks decide to expand their feeding ground?

You will be playing in a "criminal" campaign. The bad guys are going at it and they want to make you an offer you can't refuse. This does not mean you must be a criminal. Plenty of good guys have been roped into working for the bad guys.

Character creation is the same, I will post it again her for simplicity’s sake.
I am looking for somewhere between three and five serious minded (meaning serious about role-playing, not Steven Wright impersonators) role-players for a three adventure “campaign starter.” This will be three adventures intended to balloon into a campaign using character backgrounds and in game activities.

Here are character creation guidelines:

More typical shadowrunners, perhaps with ties to the underworld. Though I don't want to stop someone from running a mafioso or a yak, so long as it can be worked into the story.

My character sheet. It is HTML. Sorry about this, but just same everything in each spoiler tag as a different file under the filename listed.

No, he is not really carrying that much ammo, but the character generator I'm using lumps it all in under weapons, and I don't feel like tinkering in the html to get it all into "Uncarried Gear".

I have a character, but he was created via the priority system, with standard SR3 rules. I's that acceptable? If so, i'll send him in.

Certainly. Though you may want to compare the character to one created with point system. The point system tends to allow for a wider variety of character (mechanic wise). But, by all means, submit...

A polecat.

Not related to the domesticated cat in any way. Oh, and it's spelled 'Totem'.

My current character concept calls for a Wolf Shamanist/Russian Mafiya hopeful new to Seattle, looking to use Shadowrunning to establish credibility and connections to earn his way into organized crime. I am working on moving the character sheet and background into a digital form for transmission, but so far i'm psyched about the background. Lemme know if that would totally not work.
