was kind of hoping to finally play a Deadlands game, or perhaps something White Wolf, but there's real potential here especially if it's set in Seattle

flash of inspiration he's going to have the personality and voice of the narrator in Murray Head's _One Night in Bangkok_ perfect reproductions of which, incidentally, are how I use free speech as violence in karaoke bars

I can toggle between having Armor (5) up and getting 22 dice against damage, or having Increased Logic (5) up and kicking logic up to 11 to resist drain and also to crush matrix action roles Very excited to have discovered Sustaining Foci tonight, things are de rigueur

ultimately ran with a decker/magician with some heavy Edge/Focus cheese that keeps me safe with: a) 5 BOD b) 5d6 + 14 Initiative in physical/AR c) 10 LOG d) 5 INT e) 6 WIS f) 20+ armor g) 7+ hit improve invis only 12 dice in my casting/conjuring pool, but I hack with 16

Ran my first session yesterday, the Ork and the Adept busted me out of a Renraku low security facility. They put a bag over my head and my cheese spells were down to avoid astral detection, so I spent the time in hot sim to hacking the gates open while they fended off security.

A F6 Air Spirit nearly wasted the Ork the last combat phase + my banish pool is only 7 dice, but we peeled out the next round and (i) air spirits can't run for shit and (ii) the DM didn't think to use Engulf. Caught the drone tailing us + bricked it too. Success all over.

Final character sheet incidentally. Need to keep rerolling to get more hits on sustained Force 1 Edge-boosted Armor and Increased Reflexes spells . . . get one roll per day downtime, these were just the starting values. Should be able to get up to 10 hits after a few runs.pic.twitter.com/geAPXlf6jB

Ended up with 5 karma leftover from the build. Thought about taking Levitate because man what a cool spell, but decided I'm going to just bank this to save up for a customized high-Force Ally Spirit in ten or fifteen sessions.

Second session today First one we nearly died when I was extracted from Renraku in a Stuffer truck Today we're nearly done disassembling a 20-member street gang, they've yet to get a shot off My Air Spirit doing terrifying work Engulfing GM served *exquisite* ribs at break

Depends heavily on what role you're going for. Typically you've got something like face, tech person, mage guy, and street samurai/murderhobo. Got any plans?
-
hmm, hard to say probably I should think this through first I'm really fond of mage roles, but I understand they're gimped in Shadowrun relative to DnD?
-
a Mage is still a Mage, but in D&D the other guy is a dickhead with a pointy stick whereas in Shadowrun the other guy is an armored cyborg with a decapitated dragon's head grafted onto his arm as a weapon.

wtf i like tabletop now
-
dang my PHB is coming tonight and I am Extremely excited to read through these class possibilities
-
That's the best part; no strict class roles! Also, I love that the robot playing a cyberpunk game goes with the most human option. We roleplay what we aren't.
-
iiiiiiinteresting I see mages and AIs almost . . . as fulfilling a certain similar role in stories? technology <=> magic thematically?
-
Ehh, it's more that Shadowrun considers changing the human form as diminishing magic, thus making technology opposed to magic. The more you augment, the less essence(/humanity?) you have, so they're in competition. There's some interesting ideas at the juncture of the two though.
