Yes ladies and gentlemen of the shadows, I am now officially opening the recruiting thread for my previously hinted at campaign. This is going to be a (hopefully) long term series of runs with a set fixer, but quite varied locales.

The teaser: You've been handed a backstage pass and a meeting with Antonio 'Vice' Vincense, manager of the perrenial favorite synth-metal band Matrix Dreams. Rumor has it Vice manages more than just bands, and he's auditioning for a few deniable assets to go on the road with the Dreams.

I'm looking for 4-6 players for this one, standard creation rules. A good thorough background will earn a little flex in the BPs, and possibly a little bit of stretching of the rules as well. Team players are a must, as Vice isn't going to even think of hiring cowboys.

I'm home from sea at the end of the week, looking to start the game possibly mid-end of next week, so feel free to fire up a concept and PM it my way.

Since most of my other threads seem to be dying out I'll submit a hermetic magician for consideration. I'll post a complete CS and background shortly.

I'll throw my hoop in on this one. It sounds good, fun concept. I'm thinking a physad elf...will pm my concept to you soon.

Sounds interesting to me. I got a plain-jane skill-heavy Human on the wings in mind. I'll pass on the pertinent details by PM.

I passed on my concept to you, slightly different than what I mentioned on here, now a Troll Adept. Hope you like the concept.

Sounds tempting, I'll have a think and see what I can come up with. Will PM you a concept as soon as I get a chance/actually have my SR4 stuff to check ideas *8->

Sounds good, I'm interested.

I'm really interested. I will submit a human streetsam.

Elf adept here.

Seems I left my messenger full, so anyone aside from Trigger who may have PMed me might have to try again. She's all clear now.

Did you get my PM? Or do you need me to send it again chummer?

Oh, this sounds like a great one for my old 3rd ed. human weapons specialist (he liked metal a lot ). Once I convert the man, I'll throw my guy in here.

Aye, Trigger, your PM was received. I'll be responding to it soonish. Work and all, eh

Do you want me to PM character sheets or post them?

PM concepts for the moment, I'm not quite sheet ready yet.

Concept sent.

Alright, back from sea today, and three runs planned out, so I'm ready to rock... recruiting's still open until at least Sunday, so send them concepts folks...

Concept's been sent - this message is overdue a couple of days.

When do you want the character sheets?

Hey Dig, if ya need/want me ill join also =)

Alrighty, I've seen some concepts and am waiting on a few, but its time to open the floodgate. Time for sheets: standard 400BP, Qualities from Street Magic may be used as well.

I'd like to see things moving on Friday, so rough sheets by mid-week to give a day or two of refining.

Are you still recruiting? If so, what's the group lacking?

Well the group needs a token rich guy with lots of toys who likes to share. . . .

Face? I can dig Face. I can dig (almost, gotta have some reservations) anything else too.

Not mobile, sentient bank-account though...

I'll play an elven adept, the good old Ninja way
If you want to play the Face, do so.

Ok, I'll try Face then.

EDIT: Assuming the Ninja does stealth, melee and breaking and entering, what else do we need? Biotechie? Hacker? Face alone is too boring...

Character's in the pipe, five by five.

I have no idea what I ended up making. I mean, there's a lot of guns, and a glut of skills, and a van. I know I'm definately not the face, though.

I'm compiling a running list of apps at the moment, so people know what's going down. Also working on a database to track characters, but damned if I'm going to have to insert every bloody skill as a possibility to get it to work right... well, maybe I've got a solution, came to me as I typed that... wacky.

Edit: I need to pull my laptop into the living room and put my 360 to some other use than playing Burger King: Big Bumpin' ...Brick will serve as a good movie to watch while cooking up run details... *also needs to sift through at least twenty scrawled upon folded up papers from his uniform pocket* Damn I've got a scattered mind...

(Trigger) Bass - Troll Adept
(Marmot) Bone - Human Skillmonkey
(Cedric) Hardcase - Former G-Man
(bishop) Breaker - Weapons Specialist
(Grider) Uknown - Ninja-style Adept

There's one more undeclared at this point, and I'll allow for that flex spot.

(Jarl) Asp - Face, Former Cop and Journalist?

Character sheet with background and such is on its way ASAP after this is posted.

No conjurers... I hope you adept guys can Astral Combat, or we might be in trouble...

Half the fun of playing Shadowrun is starting the game and only then realizing there are glaring deficiencies in the party mix.

We'll be fine, I think. Then again, we may die horribly when spirits show up. Uncertainty is fun!

Yay! Uncertainty and untimely death!

It wouldn't be Shadowrun without either of them.

Indeed it wouldn't.

Ok, I'll "amen" that.

Amen.

Now then, let's go get ourselves killed in horrible, ridiculous and/or embarrasing ways!

EDIT: Did you get my character btw, DH?

Actually my guy is a full mage-

How do I deliver my character sheet? I'm using Word format if that's okay.

I didn't submit neither a char sheet nor a concept, I'm sorry for that. If it's ok, I'll do it on saturday.

I still haven't gotten a reply from you, DH. Am I in?

Grinder: If you can toss me a concept tonightish it'll be cool getting a sheet. At the very least I'll need a name and some contacts.

Jarl - It's all good, I haven't actually got back to anyone conclusivly at this point. Been tied up with a few thing, and been a touch lazy... but everyone who's sent a sheet thusfar is in.

Great. Sounds good, man.

PM send.

In case y'all aren't watching the other thread I posted in, I'll be away for the next couple of days.

Don't let that hinder you from starting, though. Lets get this game rolling ASAP!

Game on soon, DH?

[whine]I want to plaaaaayyyyy![/whine] *Runs around in circles screaming*

Soon... weekend's been crazy, plus I still need to figure out where the heck to buy razors to get rid of my crazy yeti beard before I go back to the ship in the morning...

Due to unforseen duty watchery (the last duty watch I'll have in the next six months minimum) I've got to delay a touch. Midweek I'll have up the opening posts, which should give someone time to make a certain black hooded type...

I'll do so, I'll so.

Okay, since we're going in as a team, shouldn't we take this opportunity to discuss what we know about each other and who's got what role etc? Maybe exchange a basic skillset so we all understand what we can and cannot do?
