This is a one off, written by me, drawn by my sister Shannon. It's a guest comic at www.complexactions.com.

If you've never read Complex Actions, you should start. They parody WOW mostly, but many of their jokes can be applied to MMOs and RPGs across the board.

I hope you enjoy it.

there have been a couple of other SR comics, but short lived. I'm trying to get people to help work on one for the Dumpshock Data Haven
May god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the firepower to make the difference.

Suicide is never the answer, now homicide on the other hand, that has posibilities.

I was wondering about that comic, Cat.  It's not entirely obvious that it's Shadowrun, but one could infer it.

Yeah, there were a few Shadowrun comics back in the old times, but nothing at the moment. At least nothing that I could notice - and with the amount of time I spend reading, and digging for new webcomics that's not difficult.

And what you've linked was a guest strip for a mostly WoW-themed comic. And a good one that is...

It was meant to be open enough that it could apply to any RPG. But I specifically asked Shannon to draw Shadowrun character types.

I'm going to tattoo that cartoon on the inside of my player's eyeballs. Every run that went badly started off like that.
O, proud Death, What feast is toward thine eternal cell, That thou so many princes at a shot So bloodily hast struck?

The webcomic Weregeek often has the main characters playing a Shadowrun game.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."

Oh, but that plotline seems to be closed. A shame though...

Nah, she just jumps the storyline around the players. She's actually got four different storylines going: the OOC "Real Life" of the geeks, the Shadowrun game, a D&D campaign and Vampire LARPing. It may be a little while until she gets back to the SR story, but it's by no means done.

I know, but the SR part seemed to be concluded... Or was it some kind of holiday special? Damn, I don't remember...

Buck Godot is a classic S-F pulp with a twist, and the last one is an S-F. The second has site issues and I haven't been able to see any comic...
But yes, Buck Godot is a nice inspiration. :)
There were two good and nicely drawn Shadowrun webcomics once, but that was about five to six years ago, and I haven't been able to find them again. Sadly, that's the fate of at least a dozen good rpg webcomics...

When you ignore the IN SPACE Part and the HIGLY IN THE FUTURE Part about Transstellar, it's perfectly shadowrun.
Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Drones, Magic, Hacking. Guns. Hijinks!
Also, under power works perfectly fine for me O.o
what browser are you using over there? <.<

Newest FF, but I'm sure those are site issues.
When I get enough free time, I'll check that last one out.

That last one, is, sadly, in hiatus/limbo it seems . .
