We're off to a good start with about fourteen people having contacted me expressing interest in playing SR4A pen and paper online. Nothing is set on schedule at this point so it's unknown how many people will be able to make our weekly or twice weekly events. There's some preparation to make sure everything will be going smoothly, such as learning the the new SR4 system.


Our guild is seeking Shadowrun players and gamemasters who want to play pen and paper online using Fantasy Grounds II virtual tabletop. The guild has been supplied with the beta version of the SR4 ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II (FG2) courtesy of its programmer in Germany. Gamemasters who have an FG2 Ultimate License ($149.95) can host games in which players that have not purchased the software can still login to the virtual tabletop and play. Alternatively, a gamemaster can purchase the FG2 Full License ($39.95) so long as those who want to play in his games possess the FG2 Lite License ($23.95). We will be going with the second option.



Is it really worth it? Transportation costs are eliminated when you play online, plus we hope to keep expanding to have numerous gamemasters and players who will be hosting games at a wide variety of times. Finally, the virtual tabletop screenshots speak for themselves. Click here to see the Fantasy Grounds II SR4 version 2 beta ruleset.

Our TeamSpeak 3 server has custom icons to identify a player's class, their country of residence, if they're a player or a gamemaster and what Fantasy Grounds II license they possess (if any). We'll also be adding number icons to track how much karma players have earned.

These features will make it easy for gamemasters to know right offhand how they should tailor their runs for the particular shadowrunner team. For instance, if it's a Saturday night and we have two gamemasters logged in and ten players that form into two different groups, one team might have more physical fire power while the other might have more magical and technical skill, and the gamemasters can see that at a glance.

If you are interested in joining the guild, contact me at username ThoughtContagion through Skype. Skype is great for one-on-one communication, but we'll be using TeamSpeak 3 for gaming, working on projects together or just hanging out. Once you have TeamSpeak 3 installed just enter the following information to login. In the afternoons and evenings you'll generally find someone online in the TeamSpeak. If you're a player you'll want to make contact as soon as possible so your character can be entered into the virtual tabletop and so we can get to know you and see if there's anything you might be able to help with (collecting maps, critter and NPC tokens, playtesting a new house rule, etc.).

Your first link seems to be broken. Looks interesting though.

Hey, I'd be interested in joining as a player. Skype name is illumezors, send me a tell if you do manage to find a GM. I never seem to have any luck finding one within my timezone, or before the game fills xD.

Thank you. The link has been corrected.

Hey,

I'd be interested in joining a 4e game as a player. Skype name Stopher87. Keep me in the loop.

Deleted by author. Lost interest, looking for a fixed group.

Sure, I'd be up for it. I'm free most evenings, and most of the day Saturday. I'm up for GMing, but I'd much prefer to play.

Please provide a Skype username in your post or contact me via Skype. My username is ThoughtContagion.

I am definitely interested. West Coast, free afternoons and evenings.

I am also very interested. East Coast, variable availability depending on game time. It would be nice to scratch the SR itch again after a couple years off.

Contact me through Skype at username ThoughtContagion so we can get your character entered into the virtual tabletop and get you logged into the TeamSpeak 3 so we can assign your icons for the guild. We'll be playing really soon!

Greetings!

While i GM my own game with some friends, I've been wanting to play as a character myself for some time.
I've only ever played a "GOOD" game of SR with one group and that was years ago. Didnt last as long as i'd
have liked. If there is any room etc. Let me know. I can purchase the player version of that tabletop product
with no problem. Availability...let me know when ...

Best to join us in TeamSpeak. We're in there now. Just download a free TeamSpeak 3 client and enter the information below. You'll need a microphone and headphones/speakers (headphones much preferred).

You can also contact me through Skype at username ThoughtContagion.

I am really interested in this. I won't be able to join though until November. RL stuff. I'll also have to remember all my SKype info.

West Coast player...

Good talking to you guys over TS.

I'll log back on later this week to check in. Is there going to be a site to log into or are we going to?

Seattle Sprawl SHADOWRUN GUILD UPDATE: Unfortunately I will be relocating soon and I am not certain when my Internet connection will be up and running. This means that my intention to gamemaster for Shadowrun is on hold until further notice. However, this doesn't mean that gaming can't take place in my absence. All Shadowrun players and gamemasters are welcome to use the Seattle Sprawl TeamSpeak 3 server for gaming. ADDRESS: seattlesprawl.teamspeak-host.com PORT: 10018 - A TeamSpeak 3 client can be downloaded free at www.teamspeak.com - Also, talk to Fenloh (German developer of the SR4 version 2 ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II virtual tabletop) for details on acquiring the version 2 beta ruleset which is currently being used by his German Shadowrun Guild. He can be reached on the Fantasy Grounds forum at http://www.fantasygrounds.com - Our guild is not dead, my contribution to it as a gamemaster is just on hold. If you are a GM or know one, once again, use the TeamSpeak 3 server and I'll see you when I'm back online. I go offline on Monday the 18th and will be back online when I get a new connection. Until then, good luck in the shadows chummer. - John Wagner (KemeticCultus / Skype: ThoughtContagion)

Might I suggest a location to post characters or a place to leave messages? There are several free forum options available.

If no forums exist I could create one for us.
