Shadowrun Mafia - Reserves Welcome

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Welcome to the Shadowrun Mafia. This game is about a war between the Shadowrunners attempting to overtake, Aztechnology. Aztechnology has run Lousiana's economic sphere and used the populace to engage in economic war, not caring about the human lives or the cost. There is no corporate accountability for executives, nor is there any ever expected. A few signs of an uprising have started to appear, such as graffiti encouraging fighting Azzis, have started to appear on Aztechnology buildings. Seizing upon this trend of populist uprising, a silent bidder (Mr. Johnson) has sent out a call for the best and brightest shadowrunners (runners for short) to try and take out Aztechnology. Mr. Johnson has sent a figurehead to deal with a randomly selected runner to give them the available missions in the landscape. To take down Aztechnology, the runners must bypass Lone Star. Lone Star, while technically a private entity, are a crew of bodyguards to the highest bidders. This makes Lone Star corporate police.
Given this is a game based on Shadowrun, there are a few mechanics that players should be aware of.

• Smalltown Mafia with a draft - All the flavor names and partial role mechanics will be revealed and selected from at the start at the pregame. Certain roles are determined to be scum. Players will receive their full role after drafting.
  
• Runs - Runners can go onto missions to generate rewards. The crews are assembled by the Party Leader and have 3-5 runners. The rewards are predetermined. Runs can be failed.
  
• Who goes on adventure? - There are limiting mechanics in place to ensure that the same players don't adventure repeatedly.
  
• Mr. Johnson and the Party Leader - Mr. Johnson is controlled by game mechanics. Mr. Johnson selects the Party Leader. The same player cannot be the Party Leader two days in a row. The Party Leader can be nightkilled or lynched normally. Being Party Leader offers no protection from death. There may or may not be other restrictions on Mr. Johnson.
  
• Role of Chance - Adventures are run by rolling 6 sided dies to perform specific tasks, just like Shadowrun. Players may impact the chances for each side to win a run. This setup will also be somewhat swingy.
  
• Neighborhoods - This is a very neighborhood heavy game. If you don't like neighborhoods, this is not the game for you.

/confirming half of R&L

Good enough for me.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Welcome.

Our hydra still hasn't been activated

If you have an issue with hydra activation, we will still count it as a valid in. I see the name in the activation thread, so it should be going in 24-48 hours. Welcome aboard!

[Bold Vote Scientist]

All added to here. Tbd has 24 hours to confirm their pre-in or I am releasing their spot.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Updated to here.

Updated through to here.

There will be a drafting phase that covers all that. Basically, all the players can figure out the setup and what's going on without judgment as to alignment. You can ask as many questions or as few as you want. You won't know what you want to draft without understanding the setup.

A draft in here is easier for the players to get it and sorta simulates character creation. Win win win.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Pfft. I just wanna see the options and start thnking about it!

Recruiting 3 more players does that. Glad you are hyped.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Ok, I spoke with Varsoon and we can give flavor names.

Bounty Hunter, Decker, Drug Dealer, Elementalist, Explosives Expert, Face, Ganger, Infiltrator, Medic, Occult Investigator, Physical Adept, Rigger, Shaman, Sniper, Street Samurai, Summoner, and Technomancer.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Draft order is not preset.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

There is no randomness in player draft order. Players read the setup and draft when ready.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

There is no tie.

Players draft in bold once they feel comfortable with the setup. First to draft in bold gets the rolecard.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Ful role cards are not visible when drafting.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

No more hydras after this point.

For this game, it was largely designed by myself and Varsoon with not!Varsoon as a reviewer over the span of a couple of weekends.

/in
game look complex
dont know shadowrun
koggz rusty after long vacation

but want try

Welcome aboard.

Shadowrun is kind of like dungeons and dragons but set in the future with magic and computer hacking. Characters roleplay as "runners" set to perform tasks against evil corporations that are above the law. The runners are criminals by nature. Here's a YouTube for a video game that depicts the flavor.

As for the mechanics, there will be a phase where you can ask all the questions you want without having your rolecard so you can be familiar with things. Asking anything and everything is cool.

[Bold Vote Scientist]

Good morning. The drafting phase shall begin momentarily.

I will be releasing the drafting and then heading to work for an hour or so. I will be back to answer questions soon enough.

Let's lock and load!
