#1 Post by Charybdis Richelle »

Verily, I hate introductions, but I guess I can't avoid them. I have been gaming since the dawn of time, or so it seems about now. It's over 40 years now.

Last week, I was lamenting to a friend about how much I miss my old PBeM games. I love text-based RP because it seems to bring out the best role-playing from players and the most depth and complexity of character. In my heyday, I was running 18 PBeM games and playing in 23 more, or was that the other way around? Anyway, it was a lot. And that did not count the live games I was either running or playing in. Okay, enough rambling. My friend, the one I was whining to, suggested that I head in this way and see what I thought.

So, I am tossing around the idea of running a Shadowrun game. What are the rules and procedures for seeing if there is any interest?

Welcome!
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Welcome welcome!!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Yes, when I first used the name "Charybdis" she was a PC for a Shadowrun game. Her brother went by "Scylla." She was a street chemist; he was a street doc. They would joke between themselves saying, "Nobody ever comes to us unless they are caught between a rock and a hard place."
