Shadowrun Play-By-Post Community

Hello!
In this topic you will find a collection thoughts, suggestions, expectations, and requests.

Thoughts
I am not a rules monkey, my approach is to keep things as simple as possible. Recognizing that Shadowrun is SUPER crunchy, I will find the balance as we get rolling. I appreciate feedback, suggestions, and questions. I really do.

“When in doubt,” [Raymond] Chandler once advised..., “have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.”

I love this quote. It applies to Players as well as the GM. The way I interpret this is that when anything flags or slows, throw in conflict or action. For a Player, this means the same thing, if you're stuck DO SOMETHING, DO ANYTHING.

My only (I hope) jerky request:
If you want to invoke (or complain about) a rule in your post, figure it out and include the rules in your post. Don't make me look through 17 books for your obscure request. But worst of all, I think I'm hilarious!! Suggestions

• Post formatting:
  • Dialog: bold
  • Internal thoughts: italics
  • Comms: color+bold, use @target color+bold, pick a color for each character you're talking to...we'll hash this out...the Eclipse Phase game has a good example of multiple comms channels going on
  • Magic/telepathy/etc.: color+italics pick a color for each character if multiple things are going on
  • Character posts should be PRESENT tense, they are intentions. GM posts will be past tense, these events have happened.

Expectations
For me...

• Once a week minimum adventure forum post for the current active adventure (currently...)
• Post weekly updates on regular day (currently Tuesday)
• Active daily on Discord
• Answers to adventure related questions via Discord for simple clarifications, answers that result in house rules will be posted on the forum

For you...

• Once a week minimum adventure forum post for the current active adventure (currently...)
• Ask adventure or rules related questions on Discord
