Calling out the Shadow Runners.

Indeed.

I recently started a run with a group of people at the local hobby store, but I would also like to play otherwise as well.

So, are there any runners?
 
I'd like to learn more about being one. I don't possess any of the manuals.
 
Used to play this all the time! The FASA offices were here in Chicago, and I knew several of the people there. Heck, I'm one of the 3rd edition playtesters! But when they got bought out and the system went through a major change under the new management, I couldn't keep up with the rulebooks, etc.

But I know all the concepts, at least the early years.

4th edition games run all the time, just gotta squeeze yourself in.

Filespump.com And search for Shadowrun 4th edition pdf.

At least grab the core book, and if your still interested, and have a general idea of what you want to do, I can reccomend the others books to check out.
 
Heh. I remember my Jason Bourne Elf Adept (with cybernetics <3 got to lose rule work arounds) with his weeaboo Oni Street Doc, Misa-sempai... xD
 
Never did play shadowrun. Everytime someone tried to explain it to me I would say "That sounds like Rifts..." and almost invariably they'd say something like "Yeah, it's sort of like that in principle" and I'd lose interest.

Except it's completely not like Rifts. I was very cloudy on what sort of coherent universe Rifts was supposed to have (i.e. I don't think it was coherent at all), and Shadowrun is really not like that at all.

So they were kind of full of shit.
 
I cannot give a good answer to that, as I have yet to even look at the fourth edition. But third edition was decent, a good updating of second ed. Fourth takes a different system, from what I have heard. But I can't speak as to playability.

Hell, you could take the setting and concepts and adapt it to any system you like. :p
 
I've enjoyed 4e so far.

I've made a dwarven sniper/face, and a troll martial artist.

The dwarf has done pretty good so far, and I have a good gm, so it i'm enjoying it.
 
4th is GURPS. They completely axed all the nifty play mechanics that made Shadowrun fun, and turned it into completely generic cyberpunk.

It's literally generic tabletop.
 
For a moment I actually thought this thread was about running....

*smacks forehead and leaves*
 
Well, I can't run a game, but certainly, if we had a gm, I would be very happy to get something started.

I played GURPS as far back as... Hm, must have been 1988 or so. It wasn't invented until 1986, and I have, like, 4th Edition rules. So that might be about right. :p

There's an old thread around here that's got a vague list of my tabletop experience. Hell, I played Star Frontiers and Gamma World. I'm old-school. There's a few things I'd like to play these days, but now I have no money to spare and no group to play with.

EDIT: I'm talking RL - I do have a game here, but 3 of the 4 players are too distracted to play right now, which we all know happens in RL, too.
 
Temporary?!

-slaps MM's hand away-

TEMPORARY?!

In the time between when Mishy first went inactive and now, I've moved. Twice. To different cities.

-clenches fists-

I demand consistency!

<.<

Maybe I should run something...
 
Oh LORD....I meant running...as in that thing you do with your legs???....known as jogging??? LMAO
