UPDATE: Due to Father’s Day conflicts, this was moved to Sunday June 26th.

After last night’s conclusion of the Dragon Coast coup in D&D, we’ll shift gears and move along to Shadowrun.

Sunday we’ll get together at 2 and chat about Shadowrun, go through a quick run with sample characters to let everyone shake down the system, then crate characters as a group. [Subject to correction by Kev.]

There are lots of good links in the Shadowtalk Comments if you want to read more before we get together. For the basics– what the Stats do, how magic works, and the like, here’s DMP’s writeup. See you all Sunday!

We’ll start at 2 pm, as we agreed at the end of last session.

Also, we asked Dad what a good stopping place would be for this campaign. He suggested that after the battle with the Baron, IF we win, would be a good time to take a break. Hopefully, that gives us a vague timeline for getting Shadowrun prepped… does that sound doable Kev?

I’ll try to write out my character concept in the Shadowtalk thread; if we babble about characters maybe we’ll get some coordination out of the way.

What time do we want to start this week– our standard 2pm, or closer to noon (like last week)? Do we want to stop earlier? [I’d be OK with a solid 6 hour session, for example.]

Most of the spells were wonky again; I’ll have to check out your generator Dad & try to find out why it’s only churning out stuff we don’t have books for.

So, Sunday the 22nd. Does the day work? Should we start around 2 pm, or is there a better time to start?

Let’s use this thread for purchases & item creation/sale, and a discussion about where we’re going. Ben kicked off with a great comment, questioning what our characters see as their next step.

[Update: We’ve already had our two weekends off– I deleted the reference to “what we’ll be up to”, since we’ve already done it. Also, I changed the date to bump it to the top.]

(An aside: Marv’s Spells is a very handy database of spells.)
