I'm interested in trying a play-by-post game for SR4.

Is there anyone running one that wouldnt mind another player?

Wondering the same thing, thanks!

Sorry for butting into your topic. XD
Having access to Ares Technology isn't so bad, being in a room that's connected to the 'trix with holographic display throughout the whole room isn't bad either. Food, drinks whenever you want it. Over all not bad, but being unable to leave and with a Female Dragon? No Thanks! ~The Captive Man

You'd have a third player here, if there's a GM to be found.

Make that four players if anyone wants to run it
Player : "Can I call one of my hacker friends?"
GM : "You don't have any friends."
Player pouts.

I was thinking about running a low-powered game at some stage, 4 to 6 players. My only problems are that I am working a hell of a lot, and am GMT +10.

If there's room for one more I'd love to play a player for your game Phylos

That and I had an interesting idea for a campaign, might work for play by post but I think Email would work best for the game itself.

Well, having never played a pbp game, a low level game would be preferred. I tend to stand on the A's arcane side of the room, but can hover near any other clique except the matrix kids, they're too technical for me.

Play by post works well, especially when you have people in multiple time zones. I'm involved in a couple SR games over on rpol.net, and have found the setup they have works well.

As far as characters go, I can fill whatever's needed by the group.

I'm willing to run the game if you guys are interested.

I want to run your basic first run style of game where the players have just gotten dumped in the shadows and are desperate for work.

Basic pbp style.

Give me a reply if you're interested.

Well, if Xabulba is willing to run a game, then I'll stick my hand up as a player, and when RL settles down a bit, I'll run a game myself at a later date.  ;D

That's  three, Mirikon, Phylos Getting & Clashmasterj. I'm going to send a pm to the others on this thread & let'em know I've volunteered to be GM. If I don't hear back from them in a day or two we'll open recruitment to others.

Basic 400bp character rules from SR4a. All material from the published sourcebooks are OK except no furies, no infected and no shiffters or drakes.

If you don't hear back from some folks and would like another player, I'd like to join in.  I'm new to Shadowrun (just bought the 20th Anniversary Edition) and this would seem to be a perfect way to get to know the rules and the game.  If you wouldn't mind someone new, please keep me in mind.  I would really like to play a hacker character.

Thanks.
