I played in the first chapter of this game for a time, and can personally vouch for how friendly the group is.

Also the twice per day posting limit is handled more as a suggestion. It is NOT strictly enforced, nor is it difficult to keep up with even if it were strictly enforced.

If you're looking for a fun, RP-heavy experience with friendly people who don't mind helping you with rules when you need it, you may really enjoy playing with this group.

Hi Poin, thx for the words. As a truly awesome player and great guy they mean a lot to me.

[ismilealot]

Gilga & HerrBrackhaus you are both officially in.

[gilga]

Yay!

[ismilealot]

One of my players has bamfed so I'm opening up 2 slots. ( I happen to like big groups and we were at the minimum number of players I enjoy, so I might as well open it up for two.) Same requirements for an interview and chara although the drop dead date eases up.

[ismilealot]

I'm looking for three players to add to an existing group of four players and I've got some very strict requirements. First, you post a backstory AND I interview every potential player over Skype. If we get along I add you to the Skype group of players and you have up to a week to get your chara. sheet submitted. During that time you MUST talk to and get to know the other players. Anyone who can't get along with their future team mates before the game will be dropped. Period. Anyone who doesn't have a character sheet submitted BEFORE the drop dead date will be dropped. Period.  Game would be 5e. Street character creation rules. You MUST be able to post a minimum of twice a day. Yes, I work too and I post that much and more.
     Yes, you will absolutely need a few social skills because I run extremely heavy RP games. If your character can only grunt and shoot you're going to end up with not much to do for 90% of the game.  If you want in I need a backstory submitted before your interview. Those of you that say, "Oh, I have every kind of chara made. I can bring any role you need." Let me make this clear. I am not interested in filling a role. I will say that again. I am NOT interested in filling a ROLL. I do not craft storylines around roles or around dice. I craft storylines around people and for that I need a rich backstory. SO, make a backstory you're excited to play. Or, you can make Triskavanski jealous by playing a pink, fluffy, unicorn dancing on rainbows, as long as that pink, fluffy, unicorn has a great backstory I'm good with it.. You can submit your character sheet once your ready to actually enter the game. It is an interview and I expect questions on your part. Game is STREET LEVEL CHARACTER CREATION plus 25k nuyen and 10 Karma. The game has some VERY ADULT THEMES. you need to read a few pages of the Date Night IC posts to make sure you can play this game. That said, I insist that those very adult themes be kept off screen as much as possible. I am not interested in ERP, I am interested in maintaining the integrity of the story and the characters.

EDIT : This is not first come first served. I will interview everyone that requests an interview, adds me on Skype and makes an appointment and follows up. I'm Smiles Alot on Skype, avatar is 3 women in Star Trek uniforms. (Yes I was at a convention with friends.) Make sure you have posted in this thread and when you make a contact request on Skype TELL ME YOUR GAMER NAME AND REFERENCE THIS GAME so that I don't decline you.

Are you still looking for Players?  I've never participated in PbP or skype games before, but I can't find a local group that will keep together.  I have a INT mage that I was playing in our last group that I liked.  60 year old human who was a shadowrunner in the 2030's and 40's. Saw his team die during a run where he was along only in the astral.  Left shadowrunning and squatted in the barrens for 30 years.  As he is getting older, roughing it in the barrens is less desirable.  Started working with a private investigator, and now has the beginnings of his own PI business.

Backround is filled out better than that, just wanted a basic...

Been RPing D&D for 20 years, always wanted to try Shadowrun.    Bought the 4E Anniv edition right before 5 came out.  Have purchased every 5E product that has come out. 

[ismilealot]

Friend me on Skype Smilnirish and we can do an interview. Smiles Alot, avatar is me in my elf ears. I happen to like big groups and right now we're on the small side imo.

I'm looking for two players to add to an existing group of five players and I've got some very strict requirements. First, you post a backstory AND I interview every potential player over Skype.

     Yes, you will absolutely need a few social skills because I run EXTREMELY HEAVY RP games. If your character can only grunt and shoot you're going to end up with not much to do for 99.9% of the game.  If you want in I need a backstory submitted before your interview.

Mangas Pietro de Ramirez, "Hosepipe", AKA Jorge Goodeman

Background- the Epiphany
[Spoiler]
Me, who am I? Call me Hosepipe, most people do. Or if you insist, Jorge Goodeman. Good a name as any I guess. Or maybe you mean who I was. I tell you this much, ain't no secret.
The Hatalii woman was preaching: "You have got no private properties. Perhaps one or two of you may own the homes you live in, or have a nuyen or two set aside. But you own nothing that does not contribute directly towards keeping you alive. All that you own is your bodies.
And you sell your bodies every day you live. You sell them when you go out in the morning to your jobs and when you labor all day. You are forced to sell at any price, at any time, for any purpose. You are forced to sell your bodies so that you can eat nutrisoy and live. And the price which is given you for this is only enough so that you will have the strength to labor longer for the profits of the Corp. Today you are not put up on platforms and sold at the courthouse square. But you are forced to sell your strength, your time, your souls during almost every hour that you live.  You have been freed from one kind of slavery only to be delivered into another.
Is this freedom? Are you yet free men? Be Shaikujin if you wish. Me? I want to be free."
Chummer, maybe it was just hot or she really was Awakened or maybe too little sleep and too much soycaf.  But whatever it was, I called up the Exec and told him to go frag himself. So who I was is just bound to be meat from that day on forward. Do I know what tommorrow's job will be or what I'll be eating. Nope. But at least it's good to be free. Want me to play you a Johnny Cash tune?[/spoiler]

Background-The Hosepipe Incident
[spoiler]
Way back when me and Raul were starting high school the teacher asks me, "Your mother called you garden hose?"
Me: "You're thinking manga not mangas and in any event that would be hosepipe."
Teacher, "So she called you hosepipe?"
Me: "That's not what I'm saying. You're mixing up two different... "
Teacher: "Nevermind, I can't be calling you hospipe, It would be unprofessional. I'll just use Ramirez. Okay."
Raul never did forget this stupid incident. Now I'm Hosepipe.And that's why my persona is a gardener and my mark is a hosepipe If you really want to know why my mother called me 'Dark Sleeves", it's because my arms were darker than the rest of me when I was born and my great grandfather's great grandfather was Mangas Colorado, a war chief in Geronimo's band. [/spoiler]

Not an application, just a ROLEplaying moment.

[ismilealot]

It wasn't much. Really. But it was all he'd found in three days of searching. Now, if he wanted to get paid he was going to have to leverage it. And leverage it hard. It reminded him of an old saying. "Bluff, put enough ranks in it and you don't need . . . . . . " It had originally come from some kind of game. Nevertheless it was true, and now if he was going to survive he'd better hope he'd put enough ranks in it or Sef was dead.

Pretty good ole chap, err, umm, me lady 

[ismilealot]

You said it was a role play opportunity. Not seeing you throw down.

[gradivus]

Hospipe looked at Sef and then down at poor Midnight lying on the ground from dumpshock.

Wow, girl's pretty messed up-hope she hasn't suffered any permanent damage. Uncle Morty would say, that's why I don't play with that headware stuff. Wasn't too keen when I got the control rig as I recall. But Uncle Morty just didn't understand the euphoria of being man and machine at the same time.

<<@ Team[Hosepipe] I am texting because of the possibility of audio with the bug. Two options boss- I got a tag eraser, but I've never used it on a tag that I didn't know the exact location of. If its in her stomach I guess we can just place it over the area and turn it on and hope it fries it. We can also just continuously zap every piece of clothing and every part of her body. Might work, might not. Second, I got a jammer, we could turn it on and hope is strong enough to keep the device from hooking up to the matrix. In any event Sef, come up with something to appease these Yaks before they come to the conclusion that Midnight is carry the bug on purpose. Me and Poindexter would really like to keep on breathing, boss.>>

Hosepipe tried his best imitation of a calm demeanor. Not his most glorious success ever, but hopefully good enough to not worry the Yaks.

[ismilealot]

Sef bends down to check on Midnight, his face grim. >>Don't talk drek. The tag eraser doesn't have a strong enough signal to get through that much flesh. And if we boost it and start just randomly running it over her, best case scenario, we damage some of her other 'ware. Worst case we fry something that sets up a feedback loop and dumpshock goes from bad to, "My condolences at your loss Mama Midnight."<< Chinga tu madre, he whispers as he rolls her over and sees her color. >>Setup the jammer. We need to get her somewhere where she'll keep. And then we need to figure out which one of the lying SOB's is the traitor when all we've got is a time and place for the transfer.<<
