Shadowrun (2019)

Overview

Shadowrun is a science fantasy tabletop role-playing game set in an alternate future in which cybernetics, magic and fantasy creatures co-exist. The game has gone through multiple variations and versions, since its first release in 1989, the latest "Sixth World" game system was published in 2019, by Catalyst Game Labs. It combines genres of cyberpunk, urban fantasy, and crime, with occasional elements of conspiracy, horror, and detective fiction. The system it directly evolved from is
Shadowrun 5th Edition
Description Shadowrun takes place several decades in the future (2050 in the first edition, currently 2088). The end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar ushered in the "Sixth World" with once-mythological beings (e.g. dragons) appearing and forms of magic suddenly emerging. Large numbers of humans have "Goblinized" into orks and trolls, while many human children are born as elves, dwarves, and even more exotic creatures. The Shadowrun world is cross-genre, incorporating elements of both cyberpunk and urban fantasy. Unlike in a purely cyberpunk game, in the Shadowrun world, magic exists and has "worked" since 2011. System Overview & Key Features
The d6 Dice Pool The core resolution engine uses a massive pool of six sided dice. To attempt a test, a player adds their relevant Attribute and Skill together, then rolls that many dice. Every 5 or 6 rolled counts as a "hit" and players need to roll a certain number of hits to succeed.
The Edge System In the Sixth World edition, Edge is a fluid tactical resource. Instead of tracking dozens of tiny situational modifiers, characters earn Edge points during a fight by having a superior position, better gear, or catching the enemy off guard. These points are spent immediately for rerolls or special combat actions.
The Three Worlds The game takes place across three distinct layers of reality. Physical combat happens in meatspace, hackers project their consciousness into the virtual reality of the Matrix, and mages project their spirits into the magical Astral Plane. A well balanced team must handle threats from all three directions at once.
Magic and Drain Spellcasters do not use spell slots. Instead, they can cast spells as often as they like, but channeling arcane energy takes a physical toll. Every time a spell is cast, the mage must resist "Drain" which can cause severe stun or physical damage if they are not careful.

Hi all!! Came here after someone recommended this site to me. I'm Kip, 24 (25 in June), and go by she/they! (I am also autistic, so sometimes I do struggle with VC, but I am more than willing to use VC) I've been into the hobby for about 2-3 years I think? I really got into it after BG3 released, and stuck with it since then. Alot of these games I've either never played but want to (CBP RED, Shadowrun) and others I've only played oneshots from (Call of Cthulu, Fallout). But I really want to dabble more into TTRPG's! I'm really passionate about making/developing characters, and I like to draw (even though I struggle with humans) and commission art of my characters. That being said.. I will NOT JOIN YOUR TABLE IF THE GM/PLAYERS USE AI IN ANY WAY. I AM EXTREMELY ANTI-AI. Anyways, with that out of the way, I look forward to playing with yall and hopefully making some longterm friends! ^^

Hi all! I'm Nick a 35 year old man who has been playing D&D since 3.5. Looking for some casual tables since I am currently going back to school. Also very open to trying new systems. A hard no for me is toxic behavior at the table. I try to be accepting of people and expect that from others. I have been a GM in the past but going through GM burnout at the moment. If I do agree to GM there are ground rules like no main character syndromes and no edgelords (I hate murderhobo campaigns). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Fair warning I have no set days off at the moment but that could change with the right group.

We are Hearthfire Tales, we're from Ireland and we do D&D and TTRPG Related things! We tell stories that are mostly comedic, until they're not, and punch you in the feels. Sorry (not sorry)! Our Main adventure is audio only and set in Lethuan, the land of Might, Magic, and Metal, where strange monsters are appearing and it is up to roaming "bands" of adventurers to tour the land and save the day. But why is the Hootsman, so called protector of the land, nor his special police force, the Hootsforce, doing anything about it, and why is it up to a Punk Rock Ranger and Dad Rock Ex-Paladin to save the day?! We also have horror games, light hearted and heartwarming adventures, oneshots, a campaign we streamed on twitch, and lots of Live shows from conventions across Ireland.
