As the description suggests, I want t osee how many of us there are, more out of curiosity than anything else, though the topic may one day come in handy.
So if you hail from the Land of Oz, the Island Continent, and whaatever other names we've developed, just put your hand up for the nice little man doing the head count.
Thank you all!

That's a good point. Other than Phylos'(?) game, I'd never heard of it referred to as Bris-Vegas until I was up there a month or two back.

Join the queue, actually I think there is a class action going to take place sometime in the near future. Good luck
I've even changed areas for a few weeks now I'm picking on Youth allowance payees, especially the 16-18 year old. Nothing like sending a $10K debt to some young'n.

As the creator of the thread I should probably say where I come from, eh?
I live on Lake Macquarie which is the "largest coastal saltwater in Australia" - our only claim to fame...
If you're wondering where that is - it's about 40 minutes south of Newcastle and about 90 minutes north of Sydney.

Well, we live in hope. Or Australia, which is close enough for me.

I'm a n00b Shadowrunner. Well, more intruiged really.
I'm from the Central Coast of NSW, near Wyong. Not that far from Ronin Soul really.
Shadowrun seems like such a cool RPG but it's kind of hard to get into a "cult" rpg, especially if you don't live in a major city.
I did find some old school Shadowrun novels in a 2nd hand book store in the city (Sydney) though. They had a few Shadowrun source books as well.

sshhh if you insult them too much they might get the urge to come over here and see why we disparage them so much
and then we might be over-run with easterners!
Perth born a bred
played SR from 1ed -> 4ed and at this stage think 4ed is the best of the lot.
I'm betting my local game holds the record for most people in a regular ongoing game (we currently have 11 players including the GM - we rotate GM'ing after each run).

I'm also a Brisbanite.
Also, since we look like having people on the 'inside' at Centrelink, Australia Post and Queensland Transport, I'm a prosecutor with the Department of Justice so we can get ourselves a really decent little conspiracy going.
I really thought I was the only SR player in Brisbane, apart from my mate who doesn't post here. I play and GM (or GM and GM, usually) and I'm happy to explore gaming options if they're around.

Thought I'd better pipe up, and admit I'm an Aussie as well. I hail from Central NSW, Bathurst to be exact. Been playing SR on-and-off since 1st Ed (have bought all 4 editions, although 4th Ed was PDF only <brilliant idea, I love it!>). If anyone nearby is looking for a player, let me know. Also done a bit of GM work, and am doing some ground work for some campaigns....
