I had a few hours to myself today, do I spent some of them repairing a ripped zipper on a duvet cover, watching another episode of #SkeletonCrew (#3) and finishing this Flatline City Noodle bar sci-fi/cyberpunk building.

Since we're getting close to wrapping up the current Wednesday game, I'm trying to think about what I want to play next. I've always loved the idea of Shadowrun, but I can't find an edition that plays well and is easy to get set up.

Is there a similar game that does work well?

boost for broader exposure, if you please.

And an impulse piece, since I've been at work so long that I can't think straight. It's not bad, considering.

Just finished the game Shadowrun Returns (2013). It's the perfect blend for me: interactive novel first, party-based tactical-ish CRPG second. I like that the game system is simple and the skill tree is not an overwhelming monstrosity. Loved the setting, environments, mood, music, the writing and the twisty story itself. The ending managed to leave me emotional for a while, like a good book.

On to the next #Shadowrun #game: Dragonfall.

IRREGULAR ASSETS:

Made contact with my hosts. They even provided some entertainment with dinner. They assured me that the feeling of being stretched across time and mythic space is part of the show. #Shadowrun

"You almost killed me. Almost."

A bit of art I did after work yesterday. Not bad, given how much I ordinarily suck at art featuring characters with darker skin tones (Also, not my best, but passable, which is better than a lot of the stuff I've done which has never seen the light of day.

IRREGULAR ASSETS:

That was a close one.

@nachdemsturm hypothesis: #Shadowrun seems to exist only in a field of tension between „Promise“ and „total disappointment“.

Promise: yeah - this is gonna be such an exciting heist in a dark and cyberpunky urban-fantasy setting!

Total disappointment: there are 100 d6 on the table, it feels like we are playing in slow motion, and our group has been betrayed AGAIN by the ones who send us on this mission.

IRREGULAR ASSETS:

That wasn’t easy but I’m inside. To quote a Shadowrunner from my era - “My brain feels burnt.”

MEMO:

There is something happening between the Munster Danaan families in Tír na nÓg. Something significant enough that Mr. L wants me to meet with some personally.

The Tír government has me on a No Entry list, so I need references for a reliable coyote.

MEMO:

The media has gotten wind of the guns-for-drugs-for-hostages-for-information-for-political favors-for-university admission-for-security access-for-sports paraphernalia-for-nuclear secrets arrangement.

Pulling the plug on that one. Will reevaluate next quarter.

Also, wenn ich die Geschichten mit "Freedom Cities" sehe, habe ich langsam dem Verdacht, dass da einige Leute Neuromancer und Shadowrun als Anleitung verstehen. Wenn ich dann in die Literatur gucke, warte ich mal auf Drachen und den grossen Geistertanz. #shadowrun

IRREGULAR ASSETS:

I have an asset in a Crisis Stabilization Unit in Red Lodge and need him back in Neu Essen within 48 hours.

He answered that disconnected pay phone on Hwy 212.

MEMO:

Yes, there has been an incident at the Himmelsschmiede Orbital Factory.

The Company is hard at work mitigating the situation.

Please do not spread rumors - it’s exactly what the maintenance drones want.

MEMO:

Centuries ago the Krupp progenitors of this company understood one thing:

Joining the government directly is like stepping in front of your own shield.

Either in early April or late May (found both dates) there will be a new #TTRPG #Shadowrun book: Deadly Arts, an advanced combat book.

I wrote a small chapter (about half a page) and a longer chapter (3 to 4 pages?). Don't know if I can spoil the content yet.

Might be my last contribution to Shadowrun in the foreseeable future, for various reasons.

MEMO:

Before you blame me for Spinrad’s rocket failure please remember that he is, in fact, a dolt. -L

And I'm quite pleased with this one. It's another fairly lazy piece where I've done minimal amounts of post work, but I think the lights and textures are still good.
