Okay so there's this tabletop RPG called 'shadowrun' its got all the typical cyberpunk shit, but also wizards and dragons and you can play an ex marine half-troll computer hacker with a robot arm and a teleport spell and a business suit that gives them a bonus to linkedin. Total kitchen sink shit, campy as hell but it works sometimes.

And a campaign, one of the later notoriously tedious 'I need to hit up another game shop for more dice' editions of shadowrun.

And there's this guy called Kurt Vonnegut who's been hit on the head really bad. Like, blood everywhere, he can't keep his balance, keeps throwing up.

He's GMing that shadowrun campaign.

This seems irrelevant, and like I'm going somewhere with this, but look outside; we're already here!

buy

The quality took a nosedive at the tail end of 4th edition due to a wide reaching embezzlement fraud scheme by the license holders. Steal it with a clear conscience.

Actually, I'm starting a group of something at some point. You want in if I can find a couple good matches?

More likely to be something rules light than shadowrun, but an enchanted business suit that gives your elf hacker a bonus to their posting skill is... I almost played exactly that character. I'm totally down to run that nonsense.

Thank you for the invite thats very awesome. Um wondering about time zone and time though. Got a D&D campaign ATM but this new type of fun sounds rad
