Looks like Harebrain just tweeted this:

We're crowdsourcing #SRReturns runner names and descriptions! Wanna help? Submit your suggestions here http://bit.ly/11W1V6E #shadowrun

So if you want to submit runner concepts, you can at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16yp_kKH7kK...crXFpE/viewform

We need to get Mungo in there.

If Mungo gets put in there, I won't be able to use him for the Missions I want to write...

EDIT: I wish I could add characters in there.

Do you mean you're not allowed to contribute to the list because you're one of the canon writers for SR?

There's not 'face' type speciality in the list, and most of my characters play into that role

Submitted a Dorf Mole Shaman. Shape Earth Spell and Earth Spirits. For making Tunnels.

No, Google is locking up my rig for some unknown reason, and recovering from my surgery, I don't have the patience or ability to think (I'm out of the "good" pain pills now) to troubleshoot the issue properly. Already did the basic stuff (I'm former IT and Tech Support.).

I submitted my mage, Huli, albeit they didn't have a listing for SuRGE characters, and that's not the most important side. She's snobby, and her runner name, "Huli Jing," is a slang term for "gold digger." At the very least, you can trust a gold digger to stick around while the money's good, and that's most of being a professional runner.

Joel 'Batman' Hardinger and his infinite preparedness has been added to the list.

Yes, he was nicknamed Batman because he always had the right tool for the job. He also had about a dozen bolt-holes ready in an emergency and enough dirt on several major players in the area that people preferred not to go after him... though the fact that the one time someone did send some goons to pick him up resulted in the building exploding also dropped a bit of a hint.

The game takes place in 2054. SURGE hasn't happened yet.

Hm.... 108 characters for a descripion is VERY hard. WAY too low. Come on, couldn't it have been 255... or 500?

Ah well i think i will upload a few of my most liked from myself and my players.

Submitted two:
"Walks in Darkness" -- A Crow Shaman, specializing in Illusions. Quiet and reliable, he has a thing against Megacorps.
"Peppermint Twist" -- Peppermint Twist is a 'Gunbunny' -- hyperactive, cheerful and with a hair-trigger that's amazingly accurate.

I know. The most important part of the character wasn't superficial appearance or special stat bumps. SuRGE or not, the core characteristics remain; she was a nuyen-oriented pro mage/shaman. Her runner name also means "Fox Spirit," and more colloquially "gold digger," as well as a few less polite epithets along that line.

I gave them two:

Bearclaw: Former tir ghost merc/street sam.
Klaus Ebert: Mage, former Troll Kingdoms mage detective.

Added a couple myself but didn't want to give away all my ideas!

Fire Mission, human combat rigger who provides as much fire support as his drones - one of my few actual SR3 PCs
Ferret, my cowardly dwarven decker from the Post or die thread
Bloodbath, female ork adept whose killing hands power cuts opponents leaving her covered in their blood - another PC but I only ever got to play her a couple of times

I might submit more, but I'm going through them one-at-a-time. For now, I've got Buster the troll rigger: can add support with his drones, as well as providing an extra set of arms in combat, even an extra combat axe!

(this guy I plan to play as eventually)

Of course, Seriously Mike the Ork decker. Who is actually pretty handy with a gun.

*keeps track*

You think they'll release the list of the NPCs that made the cut or do you think they'll just let us be 'pleasantly surprised' when we see them ingame?
