Braddoc's random tip #5: Get a flashlight...always get a flashlight
Welcome here Expogue, need help contact me, post somewhere, I"ll find it.
As for the sites..dunno...Xeno doesn't know squat, he only likes to listen to him typing on a computer instead of trying to send a telegram to "Intern Net"
Damn, can't believed I actually wrote that one.

mmm 2005? you actually found one that young? the majority of sites I found had been dead since 1999. I guess people lose intrest with WoW and all those other games commin out... thank god their is still a handful who would rather use our imaginations as opposed to the game industry providing the imagination for us. Dont get me wrong.. I play video games and stuff.. but I still get the thrill of building and controlling my own creation and welcome to the site... I have a great staff here that is the sites personal Shadowrun library.. ask away

Welcome to the ProBoards from the Retro's, expogue. The hardest part of SR is making the characters. Once that is done all you have to have is a willingness to mix it up on a daily basis. Which brings a thought to mind. I was discussing with the Fatman on the time it takes to create characters and get them posted. He (as usual) seemed to have a recommendation.
Fatman, "Yes Eon creating the character is usually the hardest part. In the old days the GM's would do a lot of work creating them by sitting with the players and working it out. It could take a week to get it right. Obviously that will not work now. I've thought about that since we had some players in the Boards. Why not post a GENERIC set of characters without names but with good starting stats, weaponry and such already in place. Give the players a good starting mix. Leave some points to add additions later as they get used to the game and their individual GM's can help them. Let newcomers that don't know much or don't have access to the latest rules pick one from there, put a name on it and submit that. It would make the approval time faster and cause less work. As the players play and learn they can get additional skills from the points saved. This should make the process faster and keep people from losing interest or being frightened away because they don't know enough about what the stats MEAN or how they are figured." "I suspect it would be easy for Mr. Johnson to set up a generic character thread with a mix of good characters that have already been created, all he would have to do is use ones already created, back them down a bit to get the extra points by tweaking stats and knowledge here and there and post them after taking personal information off. That way, players have an easily filled out template and because the hard part has been pre approved by creating the generic, those volunteers creating and approving the characters will be able to approve them faster cutting the back and forth time with players who haven't a clue. As the players learn in game better they can go back later and make more personal characters. These good designs can be added to the Generic Template as they are proven out"

I think the 90's was a big decade for RP (actually, so was the 80's though far and away, the big game was Dungeons & Dragons). White Wolf made its big debut with the World of Darkness. Grunge was big, and Nirvana the biggest of them all. Shadowrun is a dark future sort of game, so it went with the whole dark theme.
A lot of WoD games bit the dust in the early double oughts, too. Maybe people were tired of the darkness? Then again, a lack of new material can sometimes kill a game, though so can a change of edition.
Welcome aboard!

Then now is the time to HIRE some Bruno's.
Another dwarf? A rich fragging dwarf. Hmm I suppose there are possibilities, he could die and I could take his stuff. Who else would it fit and who else would want it? So Yeah, welcome, have you made out a will; Remember the name Gobwit.

Char looks ok, he knows his weapons..but he doesnt't have a light source.
And Krondax, it won't be worse than that "Eon/Krass war", whatever the hell that is, there's a chance that one actually manage to kill the other, or somehow start a full scale war and manage to reveal the Conspiracy.
Bah....Xandria will 'prolly shoot Four-Eyes in the back while he's sleeping like a lazy elven coward...wow I typed the same word three times in a row!
