I'm returning to Shadowrun after a 16 year hiatus. Needless to say there have been a few changes.
So I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time and the effort to create these replacement archetypes!
I've got a new group put together who are very eager to Run. Some are new to RPGs and all of them are new to SR.
I'm planning a test run this weekend. We're going to run Food Fight 4.0 just for familiarization and practice. Some of our players are more than a little intimidated by the prospect of sitting down and spending hours on character creation. It's my hope that by using these new archetypes they will be encouraged to either build on these characters or make their own from scratch.
As a long time GM (7 years of GMing SR1) coming out of an even longer retirement these archetypes are invaluable to me. Not only can I use these as contacts, bad guys, and so on, but I can also dissect them to help me get a better grasp on the new mechanics of SR4.
So again....from the bottom of my nerdy little heart...thank you very much for these!!!!
