I am very happy to say that the bi-weekly Saturday game that I am a part of recently switched from Warhammer Fantasy 2e to Shadowrun 5e. I was having a good time with our WFG but I have been trying to get into a Shadowrun games for the better part of a decade. When our GM made the very casual comment that he recently picked up the SR5 book and “would totally be up for running a game sometime”. That set off me and Danny, and I immediately ran to the gaming store to get supplies. I picked up a copy of the SR5 handbook , which I already had the PDF for, and the current missions books, Splintered State and Sprawl Wilds . I also picked up a copy of the GM screen , which it turns out our GM had already purchased.
I also immediately set up a an obsidian portal page for our new game. I’ve been enjoying obsidian portal, and I’m hoping that players and GMs alike will get more into adding game info to it, maybe even getting into some roleplaying by post.
After some conversation I settled on making a decker or technomancer. After a little consideration I figured, what the hell, I’d make a technomancer to try it out. I’m still working out the details on the backstory but on the Emerald City grid a new wiz by the name of zer0kawa, the absinthe rōnin, is making a splash.
