Greetings,
I'm fairly new here on the forums. I stumbled in a little while ago, looking for material for Shadowrun. Clearing things up, trying to figure out what to expect. I wasn't sure of a lot of things, but I do know it looks like a very interesting roleplaying game and I would certainly appreciate a chance to try it out with someone patient and willing to listen to a newcomer's little questions.
Now I did join along at another place to play a game there but the small forum went down and hasn't shown any signs of resurrection. I have read the rules in the books, as well as those on this site on my signing up. I've been reading up on what has been going on, and checking a few already on-going games for some ideas too and how the actual play goes forth.
I am interested and want to take a step forward to join a game. At the time I am not sure if there's someone with a game needing players, if so, please poke a newb into the right direction. I'll openly admit I'm new to the game but I am eager to learn, and I prefer to roleplay rather than crunch numbers for the 'optimal build' usually. So if someone's willing to give a guy a chance, I'd be eager to step along.
I've got no real prejudice on race, role or gender in a game as such, and as I am testing things out I'd be willing to try and roles the game master might feel they're still missing. All I'm asking for is a chance to try and show I am someone that could be invited to a game and bring a laugh to the co-players and the game-master, but also be serious at the right times.
Anyhow, waiting to see how it goes.

Here's a couple of great tips:
1) Just keep an eye out for Recruitment threads. Sometimes, recruitments come fast and furious, other times there may be a week or three between them.
2) Post your character ideas on The Big Black Book o' Runners (http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=487.0) thread. A lot of times, someone may get a game idea off a character that's on the board.

welcome on boards. Follow Jacks advice and create one or two characters (best use character creation and critique threads, so you can get some feedback), then join The Big Black Book o' Runners amd scan opedńed recruitements. You never know. And... be patient, sometimes it takes a while to get to the game.
