Welcome Charo!  Any relation to the chicky-boom chicky-boom lady?  :P

The Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall games have drawn what seems like a ton of people into the game.  That's great press!  And if you have any questions about the game, setting, etc. you've definitely come to the right place.  :)
Um......I just know that I'm going to feel like an idiot after you tell me, but who is the chicky-boom chicky-boom lady?

As for questions, I don't have many game or setting questions that couldn't be answered with a quick look through of the source-books, but I've been wondering, how does the title system here work? Also, what do the nuyen symbols mean?

Titles for most is how often people post. Like for me I just recently went from Newb to Chummer. Next should be Omae (sp) then finally Ace Runner. Might missed one in there. Most of the titles are slang from the books. Chummer is kinda like dude/man and Omae is friend (I think). The ¥ symbols, no clue.

Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

Turned in Toxshaman for ¥1 million/4 once.

-Peaks out from the matrix

Hello everyone!

I'm Vestiline, but vest is fine. I'm actually pretty new to tabletopRPGs, but shadowrun is something I'm still a major noob in. >.> I have engrossed myself in the lore, but it's still overwhelming with everything and with running faster out I feel like I'm even more lost even with the multitude of characters I've made (and lost the sheets to)

Now I can finally stop lurking here and actually participate! :D

Welcome to the shadows Vest and Charo (I had to look up chicky-boom chicky-boom too ;))!

Check out Hero Lab for making characters and keeping track or them. Incredible tool for both players and GMs.  ;D

you can also use chummer 5. Its free to use and they are currently working on the updates for run faster. It will still take time though as chummer is a community made/based/run program. I use it for all my runners though!

Howdy all, born_of_flame here. I've got the core books for 4 and 5 along with a bunch of the supplementals but I've never been able to get into a game, either running or playing. I've made a bunch of characters, some are probably not even feasible but they were fun. :P Looking to dive deeper into the lore cuz I love me some Shadowrun.

Also just bought Crossfire and hoping to get that on the table sometime soon. :)

Hi I am and like nuts.
Please excuse my English as it is not my first language. Misunderstandings are inevitable and smell peachy enough to be forgiven. Thank you :)

Hello Chummers. I just beat Shadowrun Returns and I am addicted to the setting. I'm here to learn how to play and join a campaign.

Welcome.  Be wary of dinos, dragons, and Canadians in rocking chairs.
