Primetime
Shadowrun 4th Edition

About This GamePrimetime is a Shadowrun 4th Edition play-by-post game. It is set in the cool spring of Seattle, in the year 2070. The group of runners this game will follow is well past their prime, nearing the ripe age of 90 in some cases. Each of the Runners have kept in touch over the years, but time is catching up to them. This group of Pre-Awakening vets is starting to die out, in fact, one of them already has. A subsidiary of one of the Big Ten is ready to offer what remains of the Runners a second chance at life: Leonization. In exchange, as the Runner's fixer explains, the megacorp wants the Runners to be a cleanup crew. Should they refuse, they'll be... Erased.

A cleanup crew for what though, well, that's for Mr. Johnson to say.

Who I'm Looking ForI'm looking for people who are familiar with the Shadowrun 4th ruleset. I am not looking to baby anyone through the character creation process and would rather have people who know what they're doing. I'm also looking for people who are willing to be serious about this game, while still having fun with it. I want players who get along with others and can adapt their characters to fit the needs of the crew, rather than have their character be completely focused in one specific skillset.

How to ApplyHead on into the game forum. Check out the Characters section of the forum. Use the rules and application format provided to create your character. The best five applications will be selected for the game. Post interest in this thread here and I'll create a private thread for you to use in the forum.

Other InformationI'm ShamedShadow. I've played several PbP games and I've seen more than my fair share of games die out. I'm hoping that this game won't go down the drain, and to help with that I'm going to have a semi-loose posting policy. I'm going to hold myself to at least three posts a week. Hopefully it doesn't degrade to that point, but that's the minimum I'm looking at to hopefully keep this game afloat, especially as we move further into the holiday season.
Game Description:

It's Primetime is a Shadowrun 4th edition game that follows a group of veteran runners. They have been hired by a subsidiary company of Ares Macrotechnology to deal with an issue that only they can deal with.

As much as I'd like to be in one of your Shadowrun games, after some consideration, I've come to a decision similar to MaJunior's: I am neither mechanically experienced enough, nor good enough a storyteller, to get into this. The rest of you guys have fun, though.

i am sorta thinking the same, but if this Ars magica character was not taking so long i would be willing to read up on all the options as i got a killer idea for an old runner that was killed off. Well back to it....

Hi I'd like to try my hand at this I have the shadowrun system on HEROLAB so I can make a character quite easily I'm familiar with the systems as well but haven't had the chance to really immerse myself in the different options. I would like to play as a Weapon Specialist with Cybernetic Augmentations.

I haven't posted on Myth-Weavers in a meaningful way in months ShamedShadow. Yet your ad hit all my buttons. I have avoided most other Shadowrun ads I have seen, as I believe it is a very challenging system to run via Play-by-Post, but your premise appeals to me so much, I am posting this on my phone as I skim WiFi from the Hotel California in Anaheim while on vacation with my family.

Please create a private thread for me.

Thank you.

Wow, are there a lot of character submissions (potentially). I'm still working on mine and should have it in shortly (wanted to be today, but Mrs. Scarecrow71 harshed on my mellow slightly), but it will be interesting to see who gets selected!

Jesus saves. Everybody else takes damage.

ShamedShadow,

I might be interested in joining you, if you'll have an old elf along for the ride?

Well, I've got a pretty good idea of what I'd like to do, so I'm going to post interest real quick on this. At least if it's not too late or anything.

If I knew what I was doing, I'd be doing it better. Or at least I'd be more arrogant about it, so be thankful I'm making all this up as I go.
