I would be interested.  I do not have a whole lot of experience with play by post or shadow run but i am a quick learner.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Cool. Standard 400 point character build or you can use one of the premades out of the book.

hey i have never played a play by post but i have been listening to rppr for a while. i would love to play. and i was wondering what do you mean by once every two days for posting rate? does it mean that the GM will post every two days? or Everybody?

[malyss]

If no previous Shadowrun experience is required, I would like to join as well.

[Tadanori Oyama]

I'll post every other day, unless everyone has already posted and is ready to advance. I'm aiming low, you can post more if you want to.

I'd suggest to everyone that you start with a pregen if you haven't played before.

[sk8bum]

im all aboard then. so when are we looking to start? when we get the right amount of people?

[Tadanori Oyama]

Three people is enough to get ready. We can start whenever characters are selected.

[sk8bum]

actually i dont think im gonna do this. im sorry. its just that i have a lot going on at work and now that i think about it, i mayhave to quit halfway through.

edit: nevermind ill give it a try.

[malyss]

I'll go with either a pregen weapon master or street samurai. What is everyone else going to use?

[siriq]

After perusing the rules last night I believe ill be doing either a hacker or gunslinger.

[sk8bum]

im thinking that i shall be either a pregen covert ops specialist or hacker.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Any of these selections should work. You can also feel free to adjust any of the skills or qualities if you feel the need to do so.

[sk8bum]

i think im just gonna use the hacker pregen.  is there any certain type of party we should try and make like : fighter, ranger,rogue, wizard. or can we have any combination?

[Tadanori Oyama]

Shadowrun doesn't really work like that. There aren't classes in the game, just general jobs. Hackers, Street Samurai, and Magicians are the three extremes of the three worlds (Matrix, Mundane, and Astral). Between them are Adepts, Riggers, Faces, Infiltrators, and a host of other criminal positions. As general advise you'll want someone who can interact with the Matrix, someone who can Astrally Perceive, and somebody with plenty of armor and guns.
