Shadowrun

[GM Marvel]

I was wondering if there is any interest in a Shadowrun game?

I believe it was 2e and I was leaning toward that edition.  But if more people were familiar with 5th then I'd have to study the book a little.  I hope it isn't too different.

Well I found a trove of 2e Shadowrun books at this site...  https://thetrove.net/Books/Shadowrun/2nd%20Edition/

And I think I still have some of the books from 2e.  But maybe it might be better to do 5e because the setting technology must have improved since 2e and I hope they've ironed out the complicated Matrix rules.  I've also seen online that some people feel 3e is the best edition.

I will play whatever you choose, it is the setting I like and the storys not the rules system.  Once you choose I wwill start to collect books.  I am already thinkin a rigger with a bunch of drones  : For a character concept

I would be interested, perhaps ex-military merc, or a street samuria

[GM Marvel]

I've glanced at the rules for 5th edition and it seems the dice rolling is pretty much the same.  So I might lean toward 5e only because the game would have upgraded the technology from what they thought possible from the 90's.  I saw some artwork were the characters were using holographic keyboards that hovered in front of the characters.  I don't remember any of that kind of thing from 2e.

I would be interested in this.  I think PbP might address some of the issues with the system and running deckers than normal tabletop makes difficult.  I would be interested in doing a decker or rigger, leaning more towards decker.

[GM Marvel]

So far we have 3 players interested. Nothing set in stone but so far the concepts players are interest in are:

VitKyng: Rigger
danaO: Street Samurai
Anthraxus: Decker

Obviously for a 4th character, the group could use some kind of Shaman or Mage (which happen to be my favorite class) so if everyone is still interested, I can cover them.

I hope so too. Deckers were a pain in the ass to run. Decking is usually a solo activity which can be excessively boring for other players. But PbP is slow so a lot can be done in PM's between other player's actions.
