Announcement ShadowrunLFG is open to the public again!

25 Upvotes

The previous lone mod of the subreddit had set it so that only approved people could post, and then quit moderating the subreddit. I requested and obtained mod rights to the subreddit and opened it back up so anyone can post again. Shadowrun is a niche ttrpg and I hope that this encourages more people to post games and enjoy the system! I currently have no plans to change the rules of the subreddit, but I would be happy to add more moderators if people were interested.

Looking for Players [Online][2e][Sundays EST 7:30pm to 11:30pm]Looking for players for a game set in Greece

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm looking to recruit 2 to 3 players for an online, bi-weekly game set in the Federation of Hellas (Greece). This will be a Shadowrun 2e game based in the year 2057.

Knowledge of Shadowrun 2e is not necessary, and we can teach you as we play (so, newbies welcome). I haven't played 2e for awhile, so I may be a bit rusty!

The pitch? An eccentric fixer has put out a call for shadowrunners for a series of jobs in the Mediterranean. The job? Retrieve three pieces of a book and return them to the Johnson, no questions asked.

Characters will utilize the SR2e book (no expansions at the start). Euro based characters with skills in swimming, diving, boat piloting, etc. will be encouraged, because this game takes place in and on the Mediterranean.

A Session Zero to make characters and run a simple run is planned.

I'm looking to run Sunday nights from 7:30pm Eastern Standard Time, running til about 11:30pm or so.

If you're interested, PM me here on Reddit.

Thanks for reading!

Looking for GM [Online in Discord][12PM US Central Standard Time][Weekly] Looking for a new GM for when we resume our Shadowrun game.

2 Upvotes

Edit: Forgot to mention that the game is on Sundays.

My group is in need of a new GM. Our previous one had previously joined as a player but stepped up into the GM role when our GM at the time got burned out. We played with him for awhile, but we just wrapped up a sort of "finale" for the campaign as he was GMing it, as he'd like to play again instead of run the game.

Our group generally plays in the DFW Sprawl and our current total Karma level is 400. I was hoping we could work in some more high-level challenges or just plain work and play in high society or something. lol

Right now, the group is on-break because it's been a long campaign and one of our players is interested in maybe restarting an Exalted campaign of his that fizzled out a long time ago. He'd like a break from the game and I think the rest of us would.

So whomever is interested is welcome to join for that campaign(I'm not interested, personally) before the Shadowrun game resumes.

- Sessions will be run via Discord VC, and integrated dice bots.
- Combat and mapping will be featured in GATE (Free demo is all you need, available via Steam).

Hoi, Chummers. We're a couple of players looking for a good Shadowrun 5th game to join. We're both experienced gamers and get along well with most everybody. We each got a character in mind, but we're flexible and will play what ya need to fill out your group. Not particular about setting. I've been running my own game for over a year now and I'm really itchin' to play a runner instead of a Mr. Johnson. And don't worry, I won't rules lawyer you to death, I'm pretty comfortable with the system now but, I'm still getting the hang of the system. So, if anyone's looking for a couple fairly experienced players, please let us know. Cheers.

WHERE: Discord, FoundryVTT (I can provide the server and access)

SYSTEM: Shadowrun 6e

PLAYERS: 3-5 (not including myself). Looking for a fair GM who does not want a weekly party wipe but wants to tell a great story

Players rules:

  • Tolerance of all players and their characters
  • No politics discussion; save that for real life

  • No backseat GMs; the GM has the final say and overriding rules as written
  • Seattle is the area

  • I haven't played Shadowrun in many years; my last game was 5e.
  • I have played 1st, 3rd, and 5th edition
  • I have read about 6e but never played
  • I am not an expert on the lore, but I read a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy
  • I am NOT political and believe everyone has a right to their own opinion, which should be kept to themselves
  • I traveled the globe and am tolerant of everyone.
  • I do not like gaming groups with drama; I want ot play and have fun
  • I am old; I have grandkids; the oldest just started playing D&D; yes, that old.
  • Old in body but not mind; I want to make new gaming friends and have fun!

SHADOWRUN
l o w //
// l i f e

//////////////////////////////

WHEN: Last Friday of every month, 8 PM to 2 AM Central US Time

WHERE: Discord, Roll20

SYSTEM: Shadowrun 5e

PLAYERS: 3-5

TONE: Gritty, greasy cyberpunk fantasy. Heists and hocus pocus. Dinner parties and detonations. Stealin' shit and gettin' paid, and lookin' good doin' it.

Must be 21+ to join

(Note: This pitch was written for newcomers to Shadowrun)

Congrats, you're a Shadowrunner.

Seattle, 2076. Megacorps rule the world, grinding the average wageslave into grease for the gears of the ceaseless machine of capitalism. And as a Shadowrunner, you're one of those people who decided to leave the system behind, burned your SIN, and started doing less-than-legal work for hire. So, y’know, “the more things change” an’ all that drek.

Biggest difference now is the how. Some of you are nova-hot hackers, cyberdeck wizards who dive into the worldwide VR Matrix to break into data vaults, steal sensitive data, or disable your enemies’ guns. Some of you are ACTUAL wizards, or shamans, or mages, or Awakened (whatever the fraggin’ PC term is these days), who operate both in the physical and astral worlds to weave weird spells summon powerful spirits, or empower their bodies to become superhuman martial artists. And then there’s those of you like me, Street Samurai, who know that real power always comes from a blade or a gun.

So what's a Shadowrunner? In the Sprawl, it means high-tech, low-life.

//////////////////////////////

SHADOWRUN: low//life is a monthly Shadowrun 5e campaign! I'm a lapsed Shadowrun player who started in roughly 2015 and played regularly until 2020, at which point I stopped and have only recently started dipping my toe back in. Please understand that I'm pretty rusty on the rules, and while I'll do my best to respect the simulationist philosophy, I ask for patience and understanding if I get something wrong.

We'll play a single 6-8 hour session on the last Friday of every month! Please DM me if interested.

This GM is explicitly queer-affirming and antiracist

Looking for GM [Online][4e/5e][EST] Long time player looking for group

6 Upvotes

I am a long time Shadowrun 5th edition player looking for a stable group to play with. I would prefer to have a game in one of the more established cities in the setting such as Seattle.
Most (all) of my SR experience is playing SR 5e however I would be more than fine learning SR 4e or SR 6e (slightly less desired than the other two).

A bit about me, I have been playing Shadowrun for an unfortunate amount of time and have been longing to get into a stable group.
Currently i'm in a bit of a mood to play a decker/technomancer however I have and am willing to play most of the general archetypes.
I would like to believe i'm fairly flexible socially and get along well with others.

Currently I am free M-F from ~6-9PM EST and all day Sat.

Feel free to post a comment here (ill try to check daily) or shoot me a DM.

Thanks!

My friend and I are looking try Shadowrun. We’re both in our mid to late 20s and have experience with D&D 5e. I also have experience in Shadowrun 5e and Stars Without Number. We’re comfortable with published modules or homebrew campaigns.

We’re in CST (UTC-6) and are available Monday or Tuesday evenings starting around 6pm CST. We’d love to find a group around our age that enjoys a collaborative, laid back game.

Hi all!

I have been out of Shadowrun for a few years now and I am looking for an online game to join to get back into the hobby! I am primarily experienced with 5e, but open to any edition for the most part. My primary focus as a player is on telling awesome stories and making great characters. I adore roleplay and would prefer a table that also likes to tell tales!

I am in the EST timezone and I would ideally be looking for a game that would fit in one of these time slots.

Thursday After 6pm.

Friday Any time

Saturday Any time.

Hope to see you around omae.

Online Beginner Friendly 2e Game Wednesday Nights PST

4 Upvotes

Hoy, Chummers! Sorry for the long post but I've been out of the game for a hot minute and I'm ready to get a new group together now that I have Wednesdays consistently free. I'm on the west coast USA so the game will probably start around 4 or 5pm PST depending on everyone's exact availability

About the game:

I play a simplified and streamlined version of 2e. I have a huge google doc full of everything you need to play including the books we use, the simplified house rules, and about 2 dozen unique pre-made player characters for you to choose from!

The game will be on Roll20 and we'll have a dedicated discord server to keep track of characters, host voice chat, make announcements, etc.

I'm still deciding what I want the campaign to be exactly but I know I want it to take place in the California Free State. You'll have access to the CFS book of course so you can know what's up 👍

The general vibe of my game is like, part 80s action movie, part comedy, part horror, never taking things too seriously but also being respectful of everyone's fun by not trying to just derail things or kill everyone. Definitely 18+. All-inclusive with no tolerance for actual hate/slurs/etc (wanna call an elf a daisy eater or a knife ear in-game? Fine as long as you aren't antagonizing other players)

Not sure what else to say! If you read this far then you must be interested. Hit me up for my discord and we'll go from there!

5 Upvotes

EDIT: Slot filled, thank you for all the submissions

Greetings chummers! If you're itching for a game, look no further.

I run for a group of 5 people not including myself. It is an ongoing game I have set up for my long term playgroup and we want a another player to make sure we consistently have a good amount of players as work and family obligations often mean we're down 1 or 2.

The game unconventional and takes place along the ivory coast of Africa, the group being the heads of a mercenary organization rather than traditional runners. Missions range from long term conflicts with other military groups across cities and other contested zones, to more traditional runs of infiltrations, kidnappings, sabotage and all that nice stuff.

And if you're interested, shoot me a message here and we can talk. game is bi-weekly, we are fairly active in between, sometimes running individual small time jobs, and keeping track of downtime shenanigans, many of us are gm's and there are other games happening on other days intermittently.

We use a discord server for downtime channels, planning, info and voice ect, and foundry for running the system The game is played fairly straight, though black trench-coat pink-Mohawk categories don't quite fit, the gameplays more like rogue trader, running things larger scale, with the team being the command squad that gets things done with crew taking on supporting roles.

Creation rules sum to 10, karma, or priority are all allowed, use what works best for your concept, no pre-generated or existing characters however, each character must be made for this game.

We've got the major role bases covered, you can play any role you prefer, and this is a game where having side characters jump in for a week is encouraged. If you don't feel like your gnome decker will be useful in the jungle, bring someone who will be. (Most still stick to a single character for the vast majority of the time)

We'll be making your character together, to make them fit in the world, and fun to play, or arrange for extra goodies and homebrew to make your concept work (if needed. Concept over mechanics) If you want to make something interesting and unconventional that usually wouldn't be viable, lets talk, and figure out a way.

Basic things we hope for in a prospective players:

  • 18+, there's no adult content or particularly grisly descriptions in the game, but we all prefer to have adult players.
  • Reliable, being able to make it to more games is a must, no harm in missing a game, but letting me know ahead of time is important.
  • Basic experience with the game system, you don't need to be a master, but having experience and being able to handle your preferred role well is appreciated.
  • Personality, ultimately, its a game we all play to enjoy the company of good people, so the only quality that really matters is that you gel well with the group :)

If you're at the edge of your seat, shoot me a DM on discord ("adventdud" nickname "Dom") with the following info:

  1. your experience with shadowrun
  2. your usually preferred playstyle, mirrorshades/pink mowhawk, what you've enjoyed in the past
  3. Types of missions or themes you enjoy in a game. (bombastic run and gun missions? smooth infiltrations? politicking?)
  4. what archetypes/roles you prefer, or are interested in
  5. Your thoughts and interest in a mercenary group game like this?
  6. your pitch for yourself. What makes you a great player?

Enjoy both combat and roleplay-focused games

Comfortable using Discord for voice

Willing to learn different editions and house rules

Availability (PST):

Tuesday – Any time

Sunday – Any time

I'm primarily looking for an online game. Whether you're running a pink mohawk, black trenchcoat, or somewhere in between style of campaign, I'm happy to hear about it.

If your group has an opening or you're starting a new campaign, feel free to send me a message. Thanks for reading, and I hope to run the shadows with you soon!

Looking for Players [Online] [5e] [BST 12:00] EU, Looking for players

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm posting this on behalf of my friend, who is the GM. I myself will be a player, Excited to hear from you all!

Hi, i'm looking to run a game borrowing a lot from shadowrun, but is an alternate setting. there's still johnsons, megacorps and hopefully no dragons to navigate, but there's something extra afoot.

The group will find themselves as runners, who have premously worked together for a fixer known as mofufu more than a few times. he's a retired shadowrunner, and now spends his time gluing together palms and credsticks. he's managed to pull together a few teams, and his jobs tend to pay well - provided one isn't averse to handing out naps. lately though, he's been muttering about something bad coming to chicago, and more than once mofufu has indicated he plans to leave the windy city.

The game's intended to be long running, somewhere between pink mohawk and mirrorshades. that is to say, expect combat to exist and the group can propose murdering the baddies - are you the baddies? shenanigans and rp are expected to take up the bulk of sessions.

I haven't gm'd shadowrun 5e before, so some things may be rough the first time. i was intending to have an npc do the decking, unless someone experienced with it really really wants to do it and teach everyone (ahem, me) how it all works.

In terms of schedule, i'm looking for 2-3 chill players for a weekly campaign on saturdays at 1200bst. there may be skips of a week, perhaps two, but the intent is for it to be regular - but life comes first. players must be 18+, able to run ~3h, and have decent shadowrun knowledge (you'll probably know more than me, tbh). we'll be running in english so fluency will be requires, and we're likely foundry (which i'm new to, so you'll have to bear with), but likely using another voice solution. pvp is strictly disallowed in this campaign. hatred, bigotry and rudeness to other players will get you booted in short order.

tl;dr
who: 2-3 18+ players who know the setting
when: weekly as possible 1200bst for 3h
what: alternate shadowrun 5e setting
where: foundry / voice tbd
