If you know about a convention that is hosting SRM events, make sure to post it here - not everyone goes to check out the convention listings elsewhere here on Dumpshock....

We're going to be presenting Mission Briefing at StellarCon 2004, March 19-21, High Point, NC. http://www.uncg.edu/student.groups/sf3/stellarcon.htm

aka Regnad Kcin

I'll be running Mission Briefing at Conception 2004 in the UK. Visit the Conception website for more info:

We are running the first two modules at Foundation Con for March.

CARP at Foundation-Con March

AFAIK, it should be up. If not, someone let me know, and I'll yell at them.

Hey, if some one were to run a Missions game here:

http://www.gamestorm.org/games.php

I would promise to be there.

ConnCon in Stamford, CT has it in March:

Marmalade Dog 9 will take place April 2 - 4 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

MD9 will feature Mission Briefing as well as the second module (should it be completed in time).

Pre-registration opens this Sunday, February 29th

For Anyone in the Hohenfels/Grafenwohr/Regensburg region of Germany (Anyone welcome) let me know you're interested in Missions and I'll look into Running/Getting it run near you.

I'm located in Hohenfels, personally, and have already set up a few dates to run Mission Briefing, in addition, I'm working on getting a section of time @ a gaming store in Regensburg to run Missions as well. For anyone in Munich, I've also been in touch with a store down there as well, but they don't have the space for a table in store.

I'm not a native speaker, and my German is pretty limited, so any games I run will be in English. However, if there's anyone else in this area of Bavaria that's interested in helping/playing - Drop me a line at sickdawg0@lycos.com (it's Sickdawg(ZERO) not O).

From what I've seen so far, Shadowrun is incredibly popular in Germany - second only to Die Swartz Age - It's surprising that I haven't seen more German Dumpshockers - Get in touch folks, let's get something rolling.

Anyone interested in running a SRM game on this board? I'd love to join one of those!

Man, it's been a while since I was here. Apparently a lot has transpired in my absence. First, I would like to say that I am really looking forward to the Shadowrun Missions. It is an outstanding idea, and despite some apprehension about how it will be run (anticipating the usual bugs and kinks in an endeavor of this magnitude) I am most certainly hyped for it.

My major question and concern is, will there be a centralized forum/location/website where we can all go to keep up to date on the various SRM events that will held, and/or a place where we can try to get in touch with other players so we can run home SRM events if we cannot go to conventions? (Apologies for the long sentence)

Additionally, will there be a place that will keep us up to date on the relevant SRM information? Checking out the Official Shadowrun Website, it was woefully inadequate. It was not until browsing through several of the Dumpshock posts that I felt I had a handle on the process. I would hate to miss out on something like, say, an online SRM game, simply because I was unable to locate that information in time to participate.

Please note that these are not complaints, and should not be taken as such. Rather, they are concerns that I have as an excited member of the Shadowrun community who would like very much to see SRM succeed, and to be a part of it when it does.

I’m looking forward to watching SRM come to life, and hopefully, getting a chance to play with other longtime Shadowrun enthusiasts. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even see some of you out there…

you found it!

this is the "official" forum for the campaign where the most up-to-date info will be held...

the website is fairly static, although i hope to change that soon...it is basically there to be a reference and get people interested...since you're here, it worked!

any events such as online games will be announced here...well, in this forum, not necessarily this thread....you know what i mean...

Yay! I'll be going to Origins! Is anyone planning to run a SR: Missions there?

unfortunately, as i mentioned elsewhere, there will not be any SRM at Origins this year (unless it is a pickup game)...

this is my fault - i missed the deadline - it was already passed a week by the time i checked on it...

FanPro now has a Convention Manager that takes care of organizing and scheduling of events for the big cons like Gencon and Origins, so this won't happen again.

OK, here are some conventions coming up where I'll be running SRM events:

OASIS - Orlando FL - May 28-30
Radisson Hotel
see www.sunquestgames.com for more info

I'll be running "Pot Luck" - no, that's not a new adventure. Depending on what players I get at the table will decide which adventure I run. This will be offered at 2PM and again at 7PM on Saturday (May 29). Each table will have a different adventure chosen from the first three adventures. This will probably be your last chance to catch the early adventures in the Orlando area.

DreamCon - Jacksonville FL - June 11-13
Adam's Mark Hotel
see www.dreamcon.net for more info

I'll be running more "Pot Luck" - right now i'm tentatively scheduling sessions for Saturday (June 12) at 9AM, 2PM, and 7PM and one slot on Sunday (June 13) at 9AM. Once again they will be chosen from the first three adventures. For those in North Florida and Southern Georgia who didn't get an opportunity to get down to Orlando, this is a great chance to squeeze in these early adventures.

Well, it's time again to ask about SRM #2. I really would like to run it at ConCarolinas at the beginning of June...


-Regnad Kcin

That's it! I made my decision. I will start running Shadowrun Missions games in Montreal, Quebec. Just to get the pace of the game, I will begin by running the first mission to my home group, just to see how the system works. I will also try to run it as an online game for a second group. As I see how things work, I will then organize scheduled Missions game at my local stores!

If anyone would be interested to do mission SRM1 online in french, just contact me at milhouse46 - hotmail.com. By doing some online Missions games, I would be able to see how we could implement an online system for Missions, to which I would be interested to volunteer.

This system looks very promising, and I'm ready to volunteer a lot to make this project a success!

Anyone doing a campaign in London?

Shadowrun Missions will run as an every-2-month event in the Seattle Area starting July 31, 2004.

If you're interested, join the Yahoo Group we created just for coordinating these events. groups.yahoo.com/group/ShadowrunSeattle.

What's the word on DragonCon this year? Their gaming schedule is not up yet, and I was hoping I could find out whether there will be some SR Missions goodness to which I can look forward.

Thanks for the info.

Robert (aka, Satin)

hopefully, one of the atlanta commandos will respond to this better -

i know that SRM00-04 A Fork In Fate's Path will be making its debut for sure. I think the plan is to have ALL FIVE demo events running at DragonCon...IF they can get the GMs for it...

Well, here's hoping they can get the GMs then.

Thanks for the info.

As far as I can tell, we've got GMs for all the scenarios for DragonCon. I'm scheduled to run Briefing and Dark & Stormy my own self. RT, the ATL Commando is also running 5 sessions, and I belive that we've got at least one other GM who's running his own SRM module.

-Regnad Kcin

Ask and ye shall receive.

The Shadowrun games are now listed and available for pre-registration on the DragonCon gaming website. Sweet.

Robert (aka Satin)

I have SRM 1 and 2 but need to get my hands on 3 4 and 5. Can anyone help.

Modules 1,2,3 & 5 are available from the Command HQ download area. #0 seems to have fallen off, though. As for #4, I'll let Rich grumble about that...

-Regnad Kcin

So it looks like at least 4 modules are finished ....

Any word on when they'll be available for the public ?

SRM00-03 should be available very soon... I'm looking at the Shadowrun website every hour!

join the club ... autocheck every 60 minutes ...

I have been checking 3 times a day, due to the fact i am not always near my computer.

WOAH!!! slow down there campers!!!

i have to make some minor corrections and then i'll be sending it to Adam - he usually posts it in a few days...

i'd take a breather and check back on Thursday at the earliest...

And we wait.

I will get my gigile twak and make a cigerette.

The Capital Area Role Players (CARP) of Lansing, Michigan will be running the first module, Mission Briefing, at our August Game Day and picnic. We hope to run the second and third modules, or mabye even the first module of the first story arc, at Foundation-Con. http://www.carp-mi.net to register and for directions to the park we'll be playing at. $10 for non-members gets you playing and food. The entire thing is free for members, so sign up!

First time poster here. I'm looking to get involved in Shadowrun Missions, but there does not appear to be anyone in my area (Binghamton, NY) that is interested in playing. I have a convention coming up in November, and would like to run some SM adventures...but I would like to play them first to help build up my confidence in the game first.

I seem to recall reading that online play was going to be a possibility. Has it just been slow getting off the ground? Or have I been at the wrong place at the wrong time and just missed the opportunity?

I have already ran 3 online Shadowrun Missions. If you are interrested, find 2 or 3 other players and send me a personnal message.

I'd be interested in online SRM. Being the only one in the area who runs SRM (And dismally. Nobody can get to gether with any regularity, and we've lost so many players...) I don't get to play them much (Or at all, at the moment.). I'd like to.

We simply use an instant messaging program (MSN Messenger). To reduce the obvious lacks between a real and an online game, I do a lot of preparation before an online game. Firstly, I type in a file the most important blocks of informations, so when I have to tell the players an important part, I only have to copy paste it in the conversation window. For the maps and files, I take screen shots of the images, and I create image files. To give access to these files, I place them in an encrypted and password-protected page placed on the group website. So when for example a runner gets a map, I give him the URL of the file and a password to access it.

I know that it would be possible to have an unified interface that would allow online games to run greatly. However I know that my online games got great success, with my rudimental techniques. I've been told that the games duplicate well a real life game, so I think it works.

If you want more details on how we do things, feel free to ask!

I'm hoping to offer something in the fall, after things calm down...

right now, i plan on running it similar to Dark Father, although i seem to be steering towards AOL IM since it has the dice-bot...if anyone knows of a dice-bot or other way to roll dice (so that everyone can see) while using MSN Messenger, please let me know.

I was introduced to Shadowrun Missions at Dragon*Con, and had a blast...literally in the case of Demolition Run. Doublecrossed involved alot of thinking, and turned out we were overprepared. Dark and Stormy Night was...stormy. Mental note to establish a meeting place before going to the run site in the middle of the night in the pouring rain, having only met the other runners on the phone line...that's a recipe for friendly fire.

But anyways...I'm hooked. Wish I could have caught Forced Recon, and I look forward to playing more. Having found the modules online...they look simple enough that there may be the potential for me to dabble in GMing for my online friends who can't make it to Cons.

Anyways...first time poster...don't shoot me if I put this in the wrong place.

(*runs spellcheck* Shadowrun isn't in the spellchecker? Odd...)

To get this a little bit back on track <egads, can't have that!>

I just want to say that I never intended for Demolition Run to be that deadly -- I've heard reports of total party kills when playing the module. However, having finally had a chance to run the module myself, I've found that an unprepared team can easily get eaten alive.

Lesson to be learned: ALWAYS DO YOUR LEGWORK! (My team didn't do so, and missed important facts that nearly got one of them killed, had the GM [me] not decided to be nice and fiat the character's survival.)

For now, I think the deadliest mission was Mission Briefing since the players did their preparation for the next 2 scenarios. But for the first one even a good preparation can't solve everything. One of my players even used his Hand of God to prevent this abrupt death. For Fork, well I ran it yesterday on MSN messenger but a maintenance shutdown happened and we couldn't finish it. An it,d for Stormy Night, I can't wait to see it! I heard so much about it's high level of difficulty!
