Hoi Chummers,
I'm looking for a brave crew for a Second Edition Shadowrun Play-By
E-Mail game. I need about 5 more higher level characters.
If interested send me your full character at:

mcma4772@********.bitnet

I want lots of player history and detail. I will accept "Special" type
characters but not too many. The more detail, the better. The sooner,
the more likely you'll get picked. Any questions send to me. Thanks.

--Daniel

PAIN (Roger Jones-Smythe)

Born in London in 2030 to a noble family as a homo Sapiens Nobilis ,
he caught the Lamberth virus and lost movement from the waist down. His
father , not wanting a crippled elf for a son , paid a couple of his
employees for raising the kid . He is not aware of his origins , and
doesn't miss walking , for since age 3 he's been riding a jack-interface
wheelchair. Of course , he became a rigger. He worked for
Greenville-Adams interests until '53 , when his boss was deemed not
necesary and a liability , and he , his family , and his chaffeur (Pain)
were to be terminated . Pain managed to escape in a hijacked hydrofoil
and make it to France . Now he lives in Seattle , running cargo , close
escort , or troop insertion , whatever can get him cred for a stronger ,
faster , more powerful body.

Just a couple of comments about my SRII PBEM:

Limits?? What Limits??

Like I said I need higher level characters. People who could take a lickin'
and keep on kickin'. If you have a character that has some unique possesions
or powers, I'll accept but you'll need to explain about them in detail is all.
Any other questions, send to me. Thanks.

I'm looking for people to help me design a pbem based on a
corporate version of Shadowrun. Players will take control of corps and
be the "Mr. Johnson" for a change :) So if you are like
business/economics, pbems, or Shadowrun; then join the team!

I would like to play, will it be based on something like it's a crime, where
the various Mr Js have to take over the city block by block until they reach
a certain number, and so progress onto a higher level of the game?

Heh, this would be cool. Mr. J could hire runners of all
types...mercs, mages/shamans, deckers, riggers to do their dirty
work in ascending the corporate society. Taking out rivals, getting
that cool new scientist from under your rivals nose. Protecting your
assets, with security guards. Like starting off with a set amount of
money, 2 contacts or so, and a block. You build that block either,
store, offices, science building etc. use contacts to set up deals,
bribery etc. Cool.
I have played a few pbms/pbems in my time.
