I am interested in running a PBEM Shadowrun campaign. What I am looking for
right now is help from people who have ran or played in such a campaign. I
need some suggestions at to how you run one, how you handle dice rolls, etc.
So, if you have experience with a Shadowrun PBEM game, please send me a message
and let me know how it ran.

Thanks in advance!

I posted by mistake to the list instead of to the guy who
wrote about setting up a pbem, requiring help with it. I deleted
his mail by mistake, anyone got his address...?
Cheers if ya can help .

I would like to run a human samurai. He will be young, and a gang member.
Here's some basic thoughts...


Name: Deadboy (Gregory Haldricht)
"Archetype" (I hate to use that word, because he'll barely conform to it):
Street Samurai
Race: Human
History: Born to a middle manager working for Saeder-Krupp, he grew tired
of daddy's infringements on his fun. After swiping a load of cash from his
trust fund <performance courtesy of decker pal> and converting it to
certified credsticks, he went on a cyberbinge to rival the best. A couple
months later and he was out on the streets, hooking up with a gang, and
having more fun than he'd ever had before in his life. But things have
started to get stale again and he's looking for some new fun...shadowrunning
seems just the thing.

Whatcha think?

I can answer my mail daily (except for sometime at the end of May...going to
watch a Muay Thai tourney in Memphis). Other than that there doesn't seem
to be any probs. I also would like to know how many people will be in this
and what they will be playing.

Talk to ya later!
