Meanwhile, In Canada...

New player from Sydney, Australia; well not completely new, I've stumbled my way through a story with some friends. But mostly new nonetheless.

Welcome Max!  Drop down to Canberra sometime, plenty of Shadowrun games running down here!

Hey there JackPoint. As y'all could probably guess, I'm new here and to Shadowrun on the whole - I've promised to DM a group, though, which brings me here.
As for who I actually am, I'm an Aussie (a few of us've been popping out of the woodwork recently, haven't we?) who dabbles (read: throws himself headfirst into) RPGs, heavy on the RP side. Shadowrun's been an interesting "what if..." for our group for aaaaages, so I decided to throw my hat into the DM ring again for some good ol' corporate espionage.

Anyways, I won't keep you all. Gald to meet you all!

But... But it's Canberra. I mean it's not Tasmania, but still!

And yes, there do seem to be a bunch of Aussies popping out of the woodwork...

Bah!  Nations Capital, home of political intrigue and corporate competition for government contracts, plus ANU completing cutting edge research.  It got it all!

Sydney... what does Sydney have?...

Still better than people thinking Australia is exactly like Mad Max, or Neighbours, or a horrifying combination of the two.

Of course it isn't. There's also Quigly Down Under.

Ooooo.... thats an old movie.  Did people really watch that?

Hmm..ok, movies set in Australia worth watching (personal opinion only of course:
- The Castle
- Chopper
- Gallipoli
- Mission Impossible II (maybe not though...)
- The Proposition (dark western set in Australia)
- Razorback (hehehe)
- Romper Stomper (ok.. perhaps not the best film to highlight Australia..)
- Two Hands (see the movie that made Heath Ledger)
- Wolf Creek

That should do for now...

Any other Aussie Jackpointers?

Quigley Down Under is still great.  And every time they show it on TV, the makers of his rifle's replica see a bump in sales.

That said - hi!!

I can confirm this, Dad used to know a gunsmith that sold those rifles.  Had one of his own, as well.

This was, of course, before the dark times, before the gun regist...

...

Oh, right, that'd delve into politics.

Welcome to the forums folks!  Here's me trying not to get the "Welcome!" thread locked!

Hello,

I'm new here. I don't know why but lately my brain has been fixated with Shadowrun again. I played it back when I was in highschool... and I've always been bothered by all the video games that never seemed to realize the potential of the property. Now I'm grabbing up books, making characters and just getting excited about the aesthetic again.

Hello everyone,

I am a recent member to the Shadowrun world. Been lurking for awhile and have decided that it's time to join up. I'm hoping it helps with the the brain freeze headaches some of the Shadowrun world seems to be so good at causing for a newbie.

Hi!  I'm another board newbie and relative SR newbie (one session or SR3, a few sessions of SR4A).  Fortunately I'm not a complete tabletop newbie.

That said, I've decided to jump into the deep end and do my first GM session (of anything!) with SR4A, since it's the only way I'm getting anything close to a regular game going.  Expect a lot of questions.   

[CanRay]

Questions we'll gladly answer. 

Welcome to the boards, Dertechie!

Well, you know what they sing: *Terrible terrible singing* We are one, but we are many, and from all the lands on earth we come...
IE: Everyone's an aussie at heart. Except for those of us who aren't.

Ok, I'm done trolling Canadians for now. Hang on, did I just say troll? Oh drek*Punching noise* My blood! He punched out all of my blood!
