hiya. well, not much to say, i am looking for a pbp or pbim depending on when and time we will play if its pbim.
i already have a character made, it suffered a VERY quick end in another game that atempted to begin in another pbmb.

Moved this to 'Welcome to the Shadows'.

You should have much better luck finding a pbp game in this forum.

For a pbim game, you might also create a topic in the GM/Player Registry

Maybe would could get someone to GM a game for all the ex/future/current military men and women we've got? I'd love it if we could.

Ooo! Tempting! We'll see. Haven't had much experience with pbp

Me either, but I'm no GM. Not enough expierience playing, plus I'm a crappy GM, as proved by DnD countless times. Once again, if anyone wants to GM this, you've got at least 1 garunteed player who'll actually post!

What kind of game would you all be interested in playing?

I'm not in the military, but I've been looking to join a game lately. I don't mean to threadjack, but if you needed someone else then I would love to join. I've loved SR for years, but I've never been able to find a solid game that I wasn't forced to GM (which I'm horrible at, too). So, um, yeah. If there's going to be something going on, I'd love to be part of it I'd be able to post often, too, as I often need breaks from my schoolwork.

Hell, I'd be interested in anything from street level to being experienced mercs or runners. And congrats on your first post Goldirocks. So we got at least three people as commited players, or so it seems. And DocTaotsu does this mean you're interested in GMing for us sorry lot?

im pretty new to both these boards and Shadowrun (im currently playing with a group irl for the first time, weve met like 5 times-ish), but if thats not a problem id be interested in joining what seems like a forming group here.

i also have a character already created, but could easily make a new one if need be.

(and i feel really noobish asking this, but im guessing pbp and pbim mean play by post and play by instant message, respectively?)

I could be conned into GMing provided we came up with an interesting premise. I'm pretty uh... open ended as far as story goes, I typically don't mind having players dig their own holes...

Er...

I'd be up for playing Shadowrun again. PBEM for preference.

Disclosure: I know DocTaotsu in meatspace.

I'd say play by post, and a nice low sandbox style game. And please people, if you come asking for a game, why just let the thought die there?

The first thing you guys have going against you is a low post rate. pbp games take a long time to complete. My experience is a consistent post rate of 1+/week. Is this something you are willing to commit to? What specific flavor of game? Street-level? Established runners? Seattle? Hong-Kong? L.A.?

I honestly lurk a lot, and this seems to be the only way I could actually get a game in. So the posting/commitment issue isn't a problem for me. Personally, I'd like to play something in Seattle, though anything would make me happy

i would easily be able to commit to 1+ a week. I've been checking on this thread, just havent posted because i was waiting for some feedback.

As for the actual setting of the game, i have no real personal preference in regards to location, and i guess if given the option I'd prefer to start as being new to running. But really, I'm up for about anything, so it's whatever you guys want to do.

Seattle.. Hmmm... and what role are you looking to play?

I'd love to play a hacker, since I just got Unwired Still brushing up on the rules since it's been a while since I've been able to play.

Lurking, but I'm restricted to 3e... either level is fine by me, but I hold a preference to merc-based games. Note that I'm not a service-member myself.

Not many 3e games going in the forums. Several of the other members discuss playing sr3, but I think those are table-top games.

I've played in some PbP's, but I've had crap luck with them... the GMs seem to get distracted by RL or just lose interest and it fades away. I'm willing to play in a game if somebody's willing to run it and stick with it.

If we do a game, I'd love to play the technomancer... failing that, I'd love to do some sort of magician. I always have fun with those.

Ive got an idea for a 3rd ED game, give me a couple of days to flesh it out if anyone is interested.

Chance, count me in for 3e.

Don't know how many people are in already. If you've still got a place left, I'd join as well. Haven't had a 3rd Edition game for quite a while.

Damn ... and I was geting interested in the idea of an Enlisted game.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping for, but it seems we've been threadjacked since my last check on this, eh fistandantilus4.0?
And as for a role, I'd take combat adept. And I can commit to anything below once a day. I'm usually on once ever 2 days, so once a week is easy for me.

If that's the case, I have no problems bowing out (If you guys don't mind some tag alongs, I would still love to play.)

Hm... an enlisted game... I'm interested. Some game ideas that leap to mind as runnable:

-Blue Planet SR4, ~250-300 bp. Players are junior enlisted aboard an orbital assault ship (read: dropship) which is part of a peacekeeping task force. Things go pear shaped and the players are stranded far behind enemy lines when war breaks out. BP is ostensibly hard sci-fi so no technomancers or magic. The rest maps fairly easily. Loyal sailors/soldiers? Mercs? Humanitarians? Survivalists? It's up to the players to choose their path on a planet where the wildlife is as dangerous as the war itself.

-Mercs! SR4, ~450-500 bp. Killing for money never really goes away. Players will be the core of a Merc company that travels the world doing bad things to "bad" people for vast sums of certified cred. Game will initially start in the Yucatan during the revolution and players will have a number of different factions to appeal to for cash and prizes.
=>Valkyrie 1-7 SR4, ~400-450 bp. A variant on the Merc game it focuses on a Yucatan rebel medical unit that provides battlefield evacuation. Think of it as "Doctor's With Guns But Without Borders". It's not all warm and fuzzy humanitarian of the year work of course. Lot of those Azzie's and rebs have cyber in em and the war makes it hard to import that sort of thing... probably get a good price on what you can salvage. Players are well trained but poorly supplied and authorized to make a profit wherever they can. They'll be less rolling opposed social rolls to negotiate and more plotting to knock over Azzie supply convoys.

-Not So Subtle Madness SR4, 300-350 bp. X-Files with move-by-wire and enhanced articulation. There are things that go bump in night and there are things that go bump in the night because that's the sound they make after their nervous system shutsdown. Low-Medium setting in Seattle and abroad. You guys aren't the Holy Churches right hand but you certainly know how to smack around some ghouls.

My preference is to run Blue Planet, NSSM, or V 1-7. A fun, somewhat mindless, and passingly tactical merc game has it's merits too. Once a week + sounds like a reasonable posting schedule and once I get back stateside (ETA 3 months) I'd be willing to run a couple hours a week of chat based gameplay as well. If you all want the NSSM game to have some enlisted flair I have a couple workarounds including making the players part of the "High Threat Animal Control Team"

I am definitely feeling Not So Subtle Madness...though would a hacker still be reasonable, or should I build someone more combat oriented?

I'm not very good at the whole hacking thing and I don't have easy access to Unwired so I'd say you should probably think of something a little less hacker oriented. It doesn't necessarily have to be combat oriented since there will be a fair amount of investigation and CSI silliness. But you guys are Animal Control types Hacking a corps AI is probably not going to happen all that often but busting a maglock or running a 'trix search about that THING that is ripping your van door off might have it's uses.

But yeah, a dedicated hacker is going to feel cheated in my games but a person with hacking skills will definitely have a place.

Sorta diggin' on this. I'm thinking about a trainee mage, first job out of community college.

I could probably post more often than once a week, if you wanted to up the pace. Chat might be a problem, but we can burn that bridge when we come to it.

Wow... I really wasn't all that excited about this until the image of a community college mage came to mind. I think that this game will definitely be more fun at a lower power level 300-350 sounds about right (I'll have to look at RC about the whole karmagen thing. That seems to be making people happy)

Now it's glorious, it's like that street sweeper story you sent me the other day. I have this image of the players strapping flak and kevlar on over their "City Animal Control" jumpers

Oh yes... I feeling this. Anyone else interested? If I can get one more I'll start a new thread and start pimping it to the public.

Sounds interesting. Count me in. With a mage already in, what do you say to a (mystical) adept private eye type character?

And how about a gunslinger adept with a thing for parazoology(possibly a current student of it, or a recent dropout)? Or is that too magicy, with two others who also want to play awakened characters?

Is there still room in this one? If so, im up for it.

Ive got a melee specialist street sam who's decent at stealth, or can come up with something else as needed.

Sounds like enough hands for a game. I'll put up a new post in the main thread.

So far:

-Claviatika
-Goldirocks
-Ears
-Madrigan

And probably two more. Alright new thread will be up in a couple of minutes.

I've been itching for a game for a while now, and with me going to sea it actually makes for more ability to post. Odd, eh? Could fit to role, though I tend to like Social/Savant Adept types...

Count me in too, as a combat adept if possible, but I can pull any role but matrix and face.

Alright so I'm hearing 6 names for Not So Subtle Madness? I guess I can skip the advertising ;p

Stared new "Not So Subtle Madness" thread in Welcome to the Shadows section. Post in the thread so I can make sure we're all tracking here.

got space for one more?

Well there's always room for one more, go ahead and post in the new thread, you'll be at the top of the waiting list but I might be willing to squeeze you in if things work out how I imagine.
