Anyone running? I had a character ready to go, but the gamemaster moved
away before we could start. Sucks cheese.

Anyway, I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me find a game elsewise.

Thanks in advance,

Wes Walker (*Still no character as of yet...*)

I've been on the list for some time waiting for a PBEM to pop up. No luck yet.
Still waiting. I am beginning to doubt that anybody does Shadowrun by PBEM.

Disappointed.

Tell you guys what...IF...*IF* a bill making Washington Benton and, etc
counties all local phone calls, IE: via modem, I'll run a PBeM. As it
is, I can't even begin to think about running one from school. Right
now, all calls are long distance, and I can't run up another $100+ phone
bill again just on logons.

The PBeM would be ideal, allowing me time to research decisions,
something, I'd never be able to do in the heat of a gaming session.

Anyway, anyone interested? DON'T e-mail me yet.

Just post something about being interested. I'll check my mail every day
just about, except for Sat and Sun...so I guess I don't...heh. But I can
check it quite frequently. If there is enough response, maybe someone
will click in.

Later chummers,

Wes (*Guess what...No character!*)

PBeM stands for Play By e-Mail games. Similar to regular
PBsMs(Play By snail-Mail) it allows people from across the country to
play one run. But e-mail tends to get expensive, and you know why
we don't use postal.
Many people run the shadows, praying that whatever gods they worship will smile upon them.
I waltz through the shadows with my gods, and I lead!

Well, this sounds interesting. My e-mail access is free, and I have
time. I can make the turn sequence every other day, so as to make it
cheaper for every one. I have a few other ideas to make it more
exciting. If you are interested, e-mail me a character idea (and stats)
at Lubrecht@***.EDU

If you're still wanting to PBEM, I'm there too.

What kind of character do you want ?
- Experienced or not ?
- Long background ?
- What type ? Magical or Physical ...

I'll send you 2 or 3.

Thanks for all, O Great GM... ;)

People!

Does anyone out there run a Shadowrun PBeM?

The reason I'm asking (apart from posing the usual "Have you got a
spare spot?" query) is that you probably have all sorts of maps, player
hand-outs and interesting bits that other PBeM GMs might be able to use.
(You know: the beautifully detailed artworks you spent hours creating
that the players look at twice (if you're lucky) before deleting.)

Would anyone be interested in pooling their collective
artwork/adventure scripts/whatever?

To get the ball rolling, I can offer the following from the game I
run on a local (Sydney) BBS:

- Maps. (Quite a few of varying quality, depending on the amount of
time I had that week.)
- Newspaper articles.
- Character sheets. (PCs (w. real-world details deleted) and NPCs.)
- Some graphics/pics. (Not many - I'm not much of an artist.)
- Some player handouts.
- Player scripts (the entire adventure to date from each player's
point-of-view).

Anyone is free to have any of this stuff if they would like it (even
without swapping). If you would like a copy without swapping, mail me
direct (ahayes@*******.com.au), otherwise please reply via the list
server to let everyone else know what you have...

Cya.
Andrew.

P.S. Depending on the number of replies, I may have to limit the amount I
send out or spread it over a number of days as my mail address *is* at
work.

P.P.S. The total file size of the stuff I have is around 10Mb, zipped.
(The player scripts are around 2Mb each (uncompressed) and there is quite
a bit of duplication where more than one player has been in the same
place at the same time, meaning that I've only changed the descriptions
minimally before posting them to another player.

Bye again.

A little chemistry - yep, I just can't seem to forget it, malhereusement....

OK, go to www.onelist.com, register/logon and then search for CyberPirates. You
should then be able to subscribe...
