We started off playing Cyberpunk Red and are just now trying out Shadowrun 5E

We play on sundays from 20:00 to 23:00 CET or 14:00 to 17:00 EST the majority of the players are from hexbear with the exception of a single person.

I can provide all the books and resources for developing the character, we play on Roll20 using maps, tends to be a pretty even mix between roleplay and combat. Even spread between goofy/fun play and more serious moral explorations in the context of a cyberpunk world. We have a couple femme of center and a couple masculine of center folks in the game. We use lines/veils and try to include some time before and after the game to socialize out of character.

I am an experienced GM in many genres of ttrpgs but would say I specialize in cyberpunk/modern settings, and welcome anyone to join no matter their experience with TTRPGs (a couple players are very new to TTRPGS and others are quite experienced) or Shadowrun. I will ask that if you are very knowledgable about the Shadowrun world / timeline of events / big plot points to do your best to not meta-game or share that knowledge out of character.

We use discord for voice, and while we do have a home-server we have been using a group message/call for playing.

Any questions or interest please comment here or DM me.

Thanks!

Full now, thanks for the interest!

    Yeah that makes sense, I’ve played or GMed shadowrun multiple times over 5 years. I actually kinda hate Food Fight for the intro to Shadowrun as it is 100% a combat encounter and what makes Shadowrun unique (besides the fluff) is the ability to solve encounters in a variety of ways and use legwork/prep to your advantage.

      I agree that Food Fight has its weaknesses.

      And speaking of legwork, I really enjoyed Anarchy having a sort of “prep montage” mechanic that can help speed up that part of the game for the table since different build required different levels of prep.
