OOC: Mm-kay, I've never done PbP before, so I don't really know how this works. I'd like to offer the services of one particular theurgist, whose powers lean well towards defense, and can serve as a secondary face. Anyone want to take him on?

well after a long absence caused by god knows how much stuff I decided to pick up Shadowrun again (SR4 or 4a for those wondering) I´m free to make any character tho right now I´m in the most mood for a gun nut or a agile Face/Detective hybrid character

Looked around for a recruitment thread and found none. Anyone know where to look/search for new games? Thanks

I've been playing in a couple Call of Cthulhu PBP games and I would love to play a Shadowrun one to get my SR fix between sessions.

If anyone is starting a game, I'd love to be considared for it.

looking for a game, just got my hand on a very special 3rd edition book and I´m interested in giving it a try to see how it is compared to 4th.

I've been playing Shadowrun regularly for the last year or so, but my group is a mix of students and workers and sometimes it's tough to get everyone together at the same time. Consequently our rp sessions are sometimes quite spread out. I'd like to play more and so PbP seems like the best way.

I've never played 4th Edition and I'd like to use the PbP to test run a few character concepts and learn how to play certain characters before putting them into the more demanding world of face-to-face rp. Consequently, I'd like to stick to 3rd Edition.

I'm wondering if there are currently any 3rd Edition games going, or if anyone would be interested in running one?

Thanks.

looks like there ain´t any new SR3 games just starting up, all are done or mid session, sad since I just got the main book for 3rd edition.

As for running I´m sadly to deep in RL stuff, I barely have enough time to play Shadowrun, let alone run one.

Yeah, I couldn't find I thought I'd be able to join. Guess I'll just have to nag my group to play more often/run two groups in parallel. Since I'm new and have only played a fairly generic street sam and a fairly generic phys-ad, I'm keen to try several other character types as well.

Perhaps I should just fork over the cash for 4E.

It appears my Trans-global Ghost Cartels campaign has lost some players. We have gone a couple of runs into the campaign. We could use a couple of more players. We play on MapTools about once a month. Or, rather we did when we had a team of players.

Check out HERE if you are interested.

We are currently in the downtime in between runs, but the next run will be starting up shortly so it is a perfect time to introduce new characters. I am looking for team players who are good-natured, mature, and consistent. Interested players may inquire via PM.

Hello, Bastard. I'm an old hand at shadowrun, but a noob online. I'm looking for a 3rd edition shadowrun game in which to play a shaman.
Unfortunately I can't seem to PM you; I guess I'm too new to the site. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Feel free to delete if I am. And sorry for calling you Bastard. smile.gif Thanks.

Make a post at the Recruitment 3 thread, and take a look at the character generation rules. During the next recruitment I will PM you, by that time you should be able to receive and send them.

I'd be very happy to find a game atm. My players decided not to give a damn, and i can't GM that TriCity campaign i wanted, so i'm looking for closure in a PbF/other net-based game. I can play any kind of character, to be honest, and i do have enough experience to do so. I'm still learning 4ed rules though...

I'd be interested in playing if you are attempting to run and havent filled out a game yet.

I would be interested as well, Teffy.

Ok I was looking round for a game on here to run a character in but I couldn't find any so I figure I'll try my hand at running a game. I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place for the post but I'm sure somebody will let me know if it isn't.

First off I'm a pretty awful GM and not so conversant with the 4th Edition rules but I'm here and willing to give it a go. So there's that I guess.

Secondly I'm going to be running mostly pre-generated missions because I'm lazy and it's a lot easier to do that than actually come up with stuff myself.

Thirdly I'm more than willing to listen to somebody who's got a better grasp of the rules than I do so feel free to pull me up if I'm doing something wrong.

Fourthly I'm going to open up the game to everybody and anybody, newbies and fellow GM's who don't get a chance to play especially welcome.

Fifthly I'm not sure if I need to contact an mod to set up the threads for the game but once I've found out I'll set up everything and post a proper ad here.

Awesome.

There haven't been any posts in here for a while so I thought I'd add mine. I'm looking to join a game. Any game that's fun and regular. I haven't played pbp before though I've been roleplaying for over 10 years. I check the forums every day on my lunch break so should be a regular poster.

Character wise, I'm just as interested in playing non-combat characters as I am combat related (probably more interested in the non-combat) and I know that's not always something people want to do. My characters always seem to be really ambitious and have big ideas and dreams, maybe me compensating for my real life lack of ambition and desire to just play rpg's all day nyahnyah.gif

I've got loads of char ideas, but will make the char to fit the game so haven't written anything down.

Let me know

Cheers

Josh

Are you interested in sr3 or sr4 strictly?

We have what looks like a player drop-out in our running Evolution game (check the IC-board).

Check if the games style is your cup of tea and you can always send the GM (Bastard) a pm and offer to take over the drone rigger character (which has enormous potential if I understood the last player correctly).

Brgds, Kliko
mister__joshua
Well I haven't ever played 3rd edition, and have no 3rd edition material, so 4th would be preferable. That may be subject to change though.

Thanks very much for the offer. I'll have a browse through the game thread and see.
TinkerHell
Hoi, Chummers! There haven't been any posts in here for a while, and I can't see any games that are open, so here I am. I'm a 'runner looking for work, 4th edition of preference, any BP, any style. Hopefully someone's got a slot on their team!
Redjack
Most GM's probably don't check in here. Your best bet would be to look for a "Recruiting thread" or failing that, an "OOC" thread and post in a inquiring as to openings.
