We're organizing a Sci-fi D6 Pen and paper (through the forum) RPG game based somewhat (mostly) on the Shadow Run universe, and I Wanted to give you guys a heads up in case any of you wanted in. Shadowrun is a pen-and-paper role-playing game set in a futuristic world (currently 63 years in the future, or 2073) where megacorporations control the lives of not only their employees, but command entire armies (the 10 biggest corporations in the world have extraterritoriality, much like an embassy has now). Tech is state of the art and cyberware and bioware (cybernetically enhanced body parts or augmented parts grown in a vat then implanted in place of natural organs) are common. Magic has returned to the world with a vengeance, mutating vast numbers of people into dwarves, elves, orcs, trolls and even more exotic creatures. The computer crash of 2029 and various conflicts and plagues have reshaped the financial landscape of the world. Now when conflicts arise the corporations, governments, even wealthy individuals, and organized crime subcontract their dirty work to specialists, those who then perform "shadowruns" or missions undertaken by deniable assets those without an identity, or those that wish to remain unknown. The most skilled of these specialists, called shadowrunners, have earned a reputation for getting the job done. They have developed a knack for staying alive, and prospering, in the world of Shadowrun. The Shadowrun world is cross-genre, incorporating elements of both cyberpunk and urban fantasy. The game is set approximately 60 years in the future to that of present-day Earth. It takes on an alternative reality to that of our own history. It includes an account of important events from now until the time of the game. As in many near-future cyberpunk settings, Shadowrun includes advanced computer technology and sophisticated cybernetic implants. Unlike in a purely cyberpunk game, in the Shadowrun world, magic returns in 2011. Among other things, this causes humankind to split into subtypes, also known as metatypes. Some of these metatypes take the form of elves, dwarves, orks, or trolls. Likewise, some animals have turned into familiar monsters of past fantasy and lore and both monsters and human magicians have regained magical powers. By the second half of the 21st century, in the time the game is set, these events are accepted as commonplace. Man, machine, and magic exist in a world where the amazing is among the most common and technology has entered into every facet of human (and metahuman) life. Sounds interesting don't it? As far as I can tell, (first time around and all.) It seems similar to the well known and loved warhammer 40k One of my mods, "Paranoiapie" Will be our DM with an Iron fist and will throw who knows what at our intrepid players in this game of skill and luck of the draw. Join us down at White Feather! (beginner friendly. If you've never play one, this a good time to try it.)

Whoop. Yep, Move please? Anywho, Yeah, I just searched around a bit haphazardly and came up with Shadow run. Meh, It's a decent working point at the least. Here's a teaser. -------------- Buy ‘N’ Now Contact Report 34-98-01/ Classification Condition: [NULL] From [REDACTED] 23rd battalion, 2nd Company, Multiple reports were received from tertiary perimeter sentries of several large, severely augmented individuals. First sighting was at 9:25 AM 6/5/2073 Individual #1 (henceforth referred to as Alpha 1) was moving in upper story of a house in Sector 3, subsector 45. Alpha 1 was around 8 feet tall due to severe unknown augmentation and was observed by members of 2nd squad until visual L.O.S. was lost. Second sighting was at 1:14 PM 6/5/2073 Multiple individual’s with similar augmentations to that of Alpha 1 were spotted moving through Sector 3 subsector 21 by 3rd platoon’s 5th squad. After initial contact report, REGCOM ordered continued observation. At 1:32 PM 6/5/2073, 5th squad reported hard contact. At 1:48 5th squad was fast extracted with multiple casualties. Reports indicate the deceased, Pvt. ██ and Cpl. ████ were both exposed to high intensity kinetic force which caused massive non-survivable hemorrhaging. Pvt. ███ was killed by a lethal amount of directed radiation. Body of Alpha 1 was recovered and is currently undergoing testing. After Several weeks of intelligence gathering, REGCOM has discovered that these individuals have set up an outpost in Sector 3, Subsector 35. All merchant traffic has been routed around this area. ████ recommends that Sector 3 be entirely and fully quarantined until threat is neutralized. Report Summary filed under 12-35-632-012-1, Corporation Archives. --------- We've got enough players for a game right now but there's still a bit of room of anyone's interested |
