We started off playing Cyberpunk Red and are just now playing Shadowrun 5E, a delightful mix of cybernetic technology, magic, and near-future corporate wrecking mischief!

We play on sundays from 20:00 to 23:00 CET or 14:00 to 17:00 EST the majority of the players are from hexbear with the exception of a single person. We are skipping November 26 so the next date of play will be December 3rd.

I can provide all the books and resources for developing the character, we play on Roll20 using maps, tends to be a pretty even mix between roleplay and combat. Even spread between goofy/fun play and more serious moral explorations in the context of a cyberpunk world. We have a couple femme of center and a couple masculine of center folks in the game. We use lines/veils and try to include some time before and after the game to socialize out of character.

I am an experienced GM in many genres of ttrpgs but would say I specialize in cyberpunk/modern settings, and welcome anyone to join no matter their experience with TTRPGs (a couple players are very new to TTRPGS and others are quite experienced) or Shadowrun. I will ask that if you are very knowledgable about the Shadowrun world / timeline of events / big plot points to do your best to not meta-game or share that knowledge out of character.

We use discord for voice, and while we do have a home-server we have been using a group message/call for playing.

Any questions or interest please comment here or DM me.

Thanks!

    For a "boss" level fight DnD is slower for low-tier enemies shadowrun can be slower. However Shadowun combat is much more lethal, a well-placed shot from a security guard can put a weaker player character into near death place.

      Hm, I'll give it a read. I've added homebrews to my table in order to make DnD faster and more lethal, might take a few cues from shadowrun, or run it instead. Thanks!
