Shadowrun / An Easy Night...? / Otsuka RPG Day

Christmas has come to Seattle! Chromatic lights, festive costumes, and lots of drunk wage slaves fill the streets with as close to "holiday cheer" as is possible in the world of Shadowrun! You and your group of runners planned to take the holiday off after your recent success. If only the smell of easy profit wasn't so enticing. Mr Johnson has an opportunity for you. He/she will share the details at your meeting but from what you could gather from other runners that have worked for them, their runs are usually just simple guard duty for celebrities. This could go really easy, or you could be in for not only a lot of pain, but also potentially have your identities compromised in a very viral internet way. Will you take the risk?

What happens during a Shadowrun game?

Lots of mayhem! Briefly, the player characters work as a team and get hired by Mr. Johnson (the pseudonym used by people contracting runs), scope out the job, do the legwork, and then carry out their plan. You are only told as much as Mr Johnson wants you to know, but probably not everything that you need to know! Things will probably go wrong at some juncture. Violence is inevitable. It’s not a matter of if, but when and how. What are you gonna do about it? Cry like a little elf baby, or make like an Orc and smash your way to success? These are the things you will deal with a Shadowrunner. As a game session progresses, players will meet obstacles or have the chance to use their skills to carry out their plan. This is when the dice come out!

What dice do I use?

Six-sided dice. Period. Sometimes one or two or three, sometimes a small handful, sometimes a large handful. Maybe twenty or more, when you get really good.
