#shadowrun shitposting

[ttrpgcafe]

"hey greg, I heard you awakened as a shaman last weekend! How's that going?"

"oh, really well, I've already got a mentor spirit and everything!"

"oh really? Who's your mentor? Dog? Cat? Bear?"

"oh, no, he's the literal personification of death."

I really want to play Shadowrun (the TTRPG). But I don’t know how to play and have no one to play it with. The lore is so cool. I want cyberpunk fantasy. I wanna be a transgirl cyborg fomori. Sigh.

Kill them with kindness? Wrong, curse of Lot! 🧍🧍🧍🗿🗿🗿💀💀💀

And they're both girls

Night City and Shadowrun's Seattle aren't enemis. They are friends. They are kissing

Ok, ok ok ok ok ok, I've got it. Is Cyberpunk a Shadowrun?

By the metric of the shitpost, no, Shadowrun is a Cyberpunk

The ideal endgame is that my Shadowrun tag ends up being like 99% breakcore shitposting and 1% about the tabletop rpg with multiple video game spinoffs

Shadowrun dragon lore is a game of contradictions. Although clearly brilliant at plotting, scheming and stabbing one another (and everyone else in the back) there are several moments that lead me to believe there’s a serious lack of common sense that leaves them doomed as a species. (Sea dragon/Rhonabwy, I’m looking at you)

Misspellings my own

Shit... this was actually kind of catchy??

"... based Thermal King...!" She might have to add this to her karaoke set!

powerscalers are so stupid that Yoruichi could say, "It's a million degrees outside right now," and they'd be posting on Reddit like, "OH MY GOD ICHIGO CAN SURVIVE ONE MILLION DEGREES BASED THERMAL KING"

POV your Red Pole dragged you to that God damned restaurant again.

I truly love Shadowrun series and wish there were more games set in this universe. I also adore "Rooster" Lo. Best cowardly elf 10/10, would kidnap him again.

Shadowrun and Harry Potter should switch magic systems.

Shadowrun depicts a magic system where magic varies between locations and traditions, is affected by many factors, has many different manifestations, and has a significant random element. Most spells are difficult or impossible to reproduce with technology. Each mage knows only a handful of spells, and magic is strictly the province of mages; there are no permanent magic items for muggle utility. Muggles who want access to magic have to lean on a mage.

This magic system is a good fit for a setting of mages who went underground to get away from muggles and who live in small, secretive groups.

Harry Potter depicts a magic system that's been flattened into a "Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3". Everyone learns mostly the same spells, and learns them by rote. There are many spells, but most of them are trivialities like casting Flashlight or casting Water Bottle. The most famous banned spell amounts to casting Gun. Magic is used to mass-produce gimmick items sold in shops, usable by muggles. Magical education has career counseling.

This magic system is a good fit for a setting of megacorporations trying real hard to suck all the fun out of magic and turn mages into interchangeable worker drones who can be monetized.

How the "One-Shot" was supposed to go

How it's going

How I'm handling running this now campaign

But at least my players are having fun

Bromantic shitpost

Okay I pull up

@catboy-beb0p I know it doesn't look like it but that's our very transformed Hatsune Miku in the back seat with their war criminal surrogate father

The context that's missing is that I saw some doofus on Twitter referring to all ttrpgs as either "a Shadowrun" or "a D&D" and I got so annoyed about how illiterate that was that I had to make a shitpost about it.

I also figured that, given that I allowed auto correct to do whatever and spelled guide "gyide" and said "all the time of games" instead of "all the types of" that it would be clear I'm not being serious.

Was thinking about asking about d10s on that types of roleplaying games post, but the time sort of makes me think it would get a "eww that's not even real" hyperbolic reaction. Sorry I couldn't send this on anon.

I have anon turned off.

It is real. Those are the first examples of those things. West End Games' Ghostbusters is the game that inspired the dice pool format that became Vampire which then led to the other World of Darkness games. It's actually a layered joke!
