NO ENDLESS EDITION COMPARISONS we are playing 4e and only 4e. Each edition has similarities and differences and derailing the game to speak about it every 5 minutes stops play for something that often adds little to nothing to the game/session.

We are playing by the book mostly. But also not trying to rules lawyer til it hurts flow/play.

We are playing standard 400BP 12 Availability but we are doing 50/50 positive/negative qualities. YOU MUST UTILIZE THE FULL 50/50 FOR YOUR BUILD.

My aim is a game equal parts Robocop, and the original Predator. Not actually in the military. Id like my players to be a little more guided by a moral compass. And not a mindless k*ll squad, UNLESS thats what the job pays for. (We do mildless hunt Humanis VERY liberally) I want this game to be more grounded. You're a runner from the street. Trying to build a name. YOU ARENT THAT GUY... YET (and you may die long before you become that guy) I do like to play with 'slice of life' in mind. But I've had many people try to force highly problematic stories they want woven into my story. No just, No. I'm the storyteller. You are a character.

I do not run deckers/riggers. You will NOT convince me otherwise! I've heard all the arguments before.

I also do not allow characters to mix cyberware/bioware with magic. In 4e you end up limiting yourself when it comes to progession later in game. You cut yourself off at the knee (literally) during CC... ain't nobody got time for that!

Some if not many of these things may come off as blunt or harsh. Unfortunately I've had far too many experiences with randoms from FB and reddit being unhinged, cheating, complaining, derailing, and treating me like their personal emotional stress ball. At the end of the day, I'm one guy GMing a casual game. Not a 300 nuyen an hour therapist. I'm just trying to tell my story and also play/enjoy the game too

Okay so this game is inspired by X-com, Control, and a few other things. It takes place In a more modern setting. You are part of a multi government strike force called Chimera. Officially you deal with terrorist, Unofficially you deal with the occult, extraplanar, and extraterrestrial or all 3 at once. If any of that sounds interesting or have questions send my a DM or Friend me on discord [ farloft. ].

I like Shadowrun but I live in an awkward time zone. Hoping to find some other folk who are also in the APAC region or Australia interested in taking on another Shadowrunner. I would like to play a Decker but I can be flexible and play an Adept or Street Sam, anything is fine, I just would like to play.

Hello!
Long-time GM, looking to add a second 5E game to my schedule. I have not determined the base city, but the game will not be a standard grubbing-by-hoping that the Johnson does not shaft you. The game will be a corporation-sponsored (although unofficially) team of operators.

The team will be "deniable," meaning you will appear as any other runner team, but you will believe who you work for, and you will all be a team of professionals. The sponsor will never be truly visible, and your contact will never confirm or deny. But they will fund the team, ensure they have access to the gear they need, etc.

This means that the game functions more as a dependable problem-solving team, not a group of misfits looking to make nuyen. The team will be comprised of marketable people who can pass as a runner group, but will all be professionals in their roles.

As a GM, I take a bit of a different character/team build approach:
- I won't give you a list of books, gear, qualities.
- I'll ask you to pitch a character to the whole group. Everyone aligns on ideas.
- Then you will throw together the high-level ideas; GM/player align
- Then you build the character, and the GM will redline
- Then we all agree on each character

The above means that it takes a few weeks, but the team is solid, and there are no surprises.

This is an initial post to gauge interest, as this is a different-style game. I will have a Google Doc with the entire set of house rules, game format, etc., ready before we get to character creation.

To set some basic expectations:
- If you have been asked to leave one of my games before, please don't apply again
- We don't need super characters; we need characters that fit and have a story
- One-dimensional characters need not apply
- Gimmick characters need not apply
- Lone wolf character/players need not apply
- No MysAds
- No Burnout
- If your character concept is the newest Meta, just don't.
- I am more interested in characters with flaws and personality than in perfect characters

So ideas to draw on. You are a team, but you have your issues. Think of TV Shows like:
- SWAT
- SEAL Team

These were all skilled members, each with a distinct personality.

Assuming a 5 - 6 person team, you should assume that in some way, you should cover these roles:
- Full Magic Capability (must be able to Astral Project)
- Decker
- Infiltrator
- Social Skills
- Ranged Combat
- Close Combat
- First Aid / Med Support

Everyone should have basic social skills. Everyone should be able to do more than one task.

I will be checking messages here, also feel free to add me on discord: Nimrax151 to discuss.

AGAIN: This is an initial test to see if there is interest before locking in a group.

Hello,

As stated, I’m hoping to find 1-2 more players to join a SRA2 game to play when it publicly releases. We would play every other week or so.

I'm looking forward to getting used to the flow of the game and am seeing how the depth compares to the base game. Part of my goal is to create custom shadow amps for use in general, especially by converting content from other editions.

If you have any particular aspects of Anarchy 2 you are excited to try, I’m willing to accommodate.

Looking for a few runners to round out the party after a few players dropped out

Hoi Chummer
Looking for a backup-face, a relaxed mage, a Shaman seeking the challenge of a run with a tight-knit trustworthy team, maybe? Gotta earn each other´s trust first, but I´ve got a feeling we will get there, Chummer! Pointy ears and silliness off the clock not a problem? That´s a good start already!

Got Genesis and Chummer CharGens and maaaany years of experience, though my young family and biz kept me busy more than usual for almost 8 years - and now there is family, biz AND time again to roam the shadows and look for a group which looks for long-term commitment, best about once or max. twice a month. Sun, Mon, Wed or Fr work best, from 18:30. Got a slot to fill? Shoot me a message :-)
Don´t get fragged and may the urban spirits be with you, Chummer!

I have been playing for a long time... probably 9 years or so, counting the year we spent just in The Arcology. My GM just started going back to Uni, and I have a very VERY open schedule right now, the itch is all consuming

PM me or comment that I can PM you and I'll get to them when possible :3

Hello!

I'm looking to recruit 2 to 3 players for an online, bi-weekly game set in the Federation of Hellas (Greece). This will be a Shadowrun 2e game based in the year 2057.

Knowledge of Shadowrun 2e is not necessary, and we can teach you as we play (so, newbies welcome). I haven't played 2e for awhile, so I may be a bit rusty!

The pitch? An eccentric fixer has put out a call for shadowrunners for a series of jobs in the Mediterranean. The job? Retrieve three pieces of a book and return them to the Johnson, no questions asked.

Characters will utilize the SR2e book (no expansions at the start). Euro based characters with skills in swimming, diving, boat piloting, etc. will be encouraged, because this game takes place in and on the Mediterranean.

A Session Zero to make characters and run a simple run is planned.

I'm looking to run Sunday nights from 7:30pm Eastern Standard Time, running til about 11:30pm or so.

If you're interested, PM me here on Reddit.

Thanks for reading!

Gm looking for players to delve into the Anarchy ridden streets of Berlin, taking on Human-purist facists, a string of toxic Spirit attacks, and uncovering the truth behind the appearance of Cybernetic Doppelgängers, no official timeframe has been set for sessions, I work away from home 2 weeks on/off, while away I will try to plan to have more text based or rp heavy sessions, dm if interested!

I’ve always played SR since i was 11 more than three decades ago. I have run many campaigns and played on many as well.

Male living in Japan though Scandinavian looking for a game, mostly on weekends

Edit: Forgot to mention that the game is on Sundays.

My group is in need of a new GM. Our previous one had previously joined as a player but stepped up into the GM role when our GM at the time got burned out. We played with him for awhile, but we just wrapped up a sort of "finale" for the campaign as he was GMing it, as he'd like to play again instead of run the game.

Our group generally plays in the DFW Sprawl and our current total Karma level is 400. I was hoping we could work in some more high-level challenges or just plain work and play in high society or something. lol

Right now, the group is on-break because it's been a long campaign and one of our players is interested in maybe restarting an Exalted campaign of his that fizzled out a long time ago. He'd like a break from the game and I think the rest of us would.

So whomever is interested is welcome to join for that campaign(I'm not interested, personally) before the Shadowrun game resumes.

Seeking a few players for a new SR5E game. I have many stories to share, but where we go and what we do will largely be up to the group's tastes. Some details below:

Game is tentatively for Saturdays, weekly or biweekly, and times are a work-in-progress.
- Game edition used will be 5th Edition, with some houserules for ease of play.
- Sessions will be run via Discord VC, and integrated dice bots.
- Combat and mapping will be featured in GATE (Free demo is all you need, available via Steam).
- Chargen will be run primarily through the Chummer, though PDF sheets are also acceptable.

If you have any questions feel free to post them here, or PM me for an invite on discord if you're interested.

Hoi, Chummers. We're a couple of players looking for a good Shadowrun 5th game to join. We're both experienced gamers and get along well with most everybody. We each got a character in mind, but we're flexible and will play what ya need to fill out your group. Not particular about setting. I've been running my own game for over a year now and I'm really itchin' to play a runner instead of a Mr. Johnson. And don't worry, I won't rules lawyer you to death, I'm pretty comfortable with the system now but, I'm still getting the hang of the system. So, if anyone's looking for a couple fairly experienced players, please let us know. Cheers.

Looking for players to join an in progress game.

Edit: Game is on Saturdays

SHADOWRUN

WHEN: One Friday or Saturday or Sunday every month, 7 PM to midnight Eastern US Time

WHERE: Discord, FoundryVTT (I can provide the server and access)

SYSTEM: Shadowrun 6e

PLAYERS: 3-5 (not including myself). Looking for a fair GM who does not want a weekly party wipe but wants to tell a great story

Players rules:

• Tolerance of all players and their characters
• No politics discussion; save that for real life
• Don't care about AI usage
• No backseat GMs; the GM has the final say and overriding rules as written
• Seattle is the area
• Light on group drama, please; I get plenty of that at work.

• I haven't played Shadowrun in many years; my last game was 5e.
• I have played 1st, 3rd, and 5th edition
• I have read about 6e but never played
• I am not an expert on the lore, but I read a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy
• I am NOT political and believe everyone has a right to their own opinion, which should be kept to themselves
• I traveled the globe and am tolerant of everyone.
• I do not like gaming groups with drama; I want ot play and have fun
• I am old; I have grandkids; the oldest just started playing D&D; yes, that old.
• Old in body but not mind; I want to make new gaming friends and have fun!

Please post a message below if interested.

SHADOWRUN
l o w //
// l i f e

//////////////////////////////

WHEN: Last Friday of every month, 8 PM to 2 AM Central US Time

WHERE: Discord, Roll20

SYSTEM: Shadowrun 5e

PLAYERS: 3-5

TONE: Gritty, greasy cyberpunk fantasy. Heists and hocus pocus. Dinner parties and detonations. Stealin' shit and gettin' paid, and lookin' good doin' it.

Must be 21+ to join

(Note: This pitch was written for newcomers to Shadowrun)

Congrats, you're a Shadowrunner.

Seattle, 2076. Megacorps rule the world, grinding the average wageslave into grease for the gears of the ceaseless machine of capitalism. And as a Shadowrunner, you're one of those people who decided to leave the system behind, burned your SIN, and started doing less-than-legal work for hire. So, y’know, “the more things change” an’ all that drek.

Biggest difference now is the how. Some of you are nova-hot hackers, cyberdeck wizards who dive into the worldwide VR Matrix to break into data vaults, steal sensitive data, or disable your enemies’ guns. Some of you are ACTUAL wizards, or shamans, or mages, or Awakened (whatever the fraggin’ PC term is these days), who operate both in the physical and astral worlds to weave weird spells summon powerful spirits, or empower their bodies to become superhuman martial artists. And then there’s those of you like me, Street Samurai, who know that real power always comes from a blade or a gun.

So what's a Shadowrunner? In the Sprawl, it means high-tech, low-life.

//////////////////////////////

SHADOWRUN: low//life is a monthly Shadowrun 5e campaign! I'm a lapsed Shadowrun player who started in roughly 2015 and played regularly until 2020, at which point I stopped and have only recently started dipping my toe back in. Please understand that I'm pretty rusty on the rules, and while I'll do my best to respect the simulationist philosophy, I ask for patience and understanding if I get something wrong.

We'll play a single 6-8 hour session on the last Friday of every month! Please DM me if interested.

This GM is explicitly queer-affirming and antiracist

Im looking for players for a berren's vigilante type of game, new and veteran players are welcomed, Play by discord and the forge (foundry VTT host)

The game is pretty much RAW and the theme goes for "working for the people" and "pushing back the dys"

I am a long time Shadowrun 5th edition player looking for a stable group to play with. I would prefer to have a game in one of the more established cities in the setting such as Seattle.
Most (all) of my SR experience is playing SR 5e however I would be more than fine learning SR 4e or SR 6e (slightly less desired than the other two).

A bit about me, I have been playing Shadowrun for an unfortunate amount of time and have been longing to get into a stable group.
Currently i'm in a bit of a mood to play a decker/technomancer however I have and am willing to play most of the general archetypes.
I would like to believe i'm fairly flexible socially and get along well with others.

Currently I am free M-F from ~6-9PM EST and all day Sat.

Feel free to post a comment here (ill try to check daily) or shoot me a DM.

Thanks!

My friend and I are looking try Shadowrun. We’re both in our mid to late 20s and have experience with D&D 5e. I also have experience in Shadowrun 5e and Stars Without Number. We’re comfortable with published modules or homebrew campaigns.

We’re in CST (UTC-6) and are available Monday or Tuesday evenings starting around 6pm CST. We’d love to find a group around our age that enjoys a collaborative, laid back game.

If you think we’d be a good fit for your group, leave a comment or send me a message.

Hi all!

I have been out of Shadowrun for a few years now and I am looking for an online game to join to get back into the hobby! I am primarily experienced with 5e, but open to any edition for the most part. My primary focus as a player is on telling awesome stories and making great characters. I adore roleplay and would prefer a table that also likes to tell tales!

I am in the EST timezone and I would ideally be looking for a game that would fit in one of these time slots.

Thursday After 6pm.

Friday Any time

Saturday Any time.

Hope to see you around omae.

Looking for a few Chummers who’d be down to play a. Tryna play sometime soon around 10:30pm est.

Hoy, Chummers! Sorry for the long post but I've been out of the game for a hot minute and I'm ready to get a new group together now that I have Wednesdays consistently free. I'm on the west coast USA so the game will probably start around 4 or 5pm PST depending on everyone's exact availability

About the game:

I play a simplified and streamlined version of 2e. I have a huge google doc full of everything you need to play including the books we use, the simplified house rules, and about 2 dozen unique pre-made player characters for you to choose from!

The game will be on Roll20 and we'll have a dedicated discord server to keep track of characters, host voice chat, make announcements, etc.

I'm still deciding what I want the campaign to be exactly but I know I want it to take place in the California Free State. You'll have access to the CFS book of course so you can know what's up 👍

The general vibe of my game is like, part 80s action movie, part comedy, part horror, never taking things too seriously but also being respectful of everyone's fun by not trying to just derail things or kill everyone. Definitely 18+. All-inclusive with no tolerance for actual hate/slurs/etc (wanna call an elf a daisy eater or a knife ear in-game? Fine as long as you aren't antagonizing other players)

Not sure what else to say! If you read this far then you must be interested. Hit me up for my discord and we'll go from there!
