Post-bash beardage

[HereComesPete]

Well, a large number of bashees expressed interest in Shadowrun as a result of beard shenanigans. This is a good thing. If you would like to post here about said interest in SR or other beard games that would be wonderful. There are a number of pdf's sitting in the Waugh. Poke Joose, Pants, Grimmie, Deject or myself with any questions you've thought of.

***Useful books/spreadsheets are listed in the waugh***

For those unsure of their characters, or needing a walk through the creation process, I have and will upload an SR char gen utility.

As for who precisely joins where in SR, I guess Joose and I will work that out shortly.

Joose - If you want notes about either run I can provide.

Regarding SLA, for anyone who might be interested, it shall be resumed once my life isn't a chaotic mess. I've at least five BPNs in the pipeline that need meat on their bones, and should tie up one or two story arcs.

Regarding the silliness I believe was appealing in the bash, I have a suggestion. In a past life I played regularly in a traditional face-to-face sense, and every year someone would run a 'Christmas Dungeon'. This was a free-for-all adventure in a setting of the GM's choosing, where the players brought along whatever character they fancied, or indeed created a silly one for a laugh. The GM would simply wing enounters with whatever rules the character was created for, so in theory they could have an encounter where SLA characters were fighting under SLA rules, while SR characters were fighting the same bad guys using SR rules. Since it was all fairly loose and not very serious it worked brilliantly. I reckon if we start thinking about it now one of us might have something playable by Christmas Since it's technically a one off, it might appeal to 5punkers who want a less regular silly beardy experience.

As an example, the one I remember most fondly was based around Mr Benn's costume shop, with all characters choosing a costume then dashing off on adventures through the changing room. I got a plastic sword out of aChristmas cracker that my character used in his real campaign for ages until it broke when I fell down a pit.

that^

also that christmas beard idea sounds like a good way to gently ease someone not not so familiar with pen and paper beard such as my self into the whole swing of things without having to worry too much about the impact of everything you do as your learning

Shadowrun is fairly complicated, to be sure. I've made a few characters as well, so if I am handy feel free to ask me questions.

It is, but it could be better. I've made approximately umpteen billion characters since making that, so I could really do with updating it. I'll stick it on my to do list!

[Dog Pants]

Joose's to do list: makes Valve feel better.

So true

Also, I'll need a list of those who are looking to stop playing their secondary character in my runs. I know Pants and Roman have expressed this intent and that Joose might swap Lex for another character. Please let me know soon.

[Roman Totale]

Aye, I think I'm ditching Firenza. However, I'm just putting the finishing touches to another character! No magic this time.

[HereComesPete]

Okay, top post edited for people wanting to play. There's quite a few!

[shot2bits]

how many people can actually be put in a run? i assume there is some kind of limit

[Dr. kitteny berk]

I'll be reviving heinz with a few tweaks to get him more in line with how I want to play him, I just need to pester joose.

In terms of it not being mental to follow, boring for those not doing anything, taking forever and generally fucking the GM in the head a practical limit of about six needs to be applied.

This. Any more than that and people get bored. Also, odd things happen to game balance if you have too many doods. SR is really not designed for hoog fights.

I take it there is an excel sheet somewhere? Not linked in the Wiki as far as I can see.

Anyone know where it is?

[Legoshoes]

It looked like a lot of fun. Next bash i think i might enter into the world of beards full-tilt.

Pete edit - best to keep things in the pub I guess - go here

The char gen spreadsheet has a few mistakes in it, not sure if joose ever fixed them.

I've also uploaded a blank datafile that DP made, it's a good thing to fill in when you've got your char ready as it allows you to track your char efficiently.
