Metrópole, Amazonia. 2074. A megacity sprawling between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro with an estimated population of 250 million. Metahumans share the streets with shape shifters and other sapients. The great dragon Hualpa once kept careful watch over this city. However, after his disastrous war against Aztlan, he has sequestered himself. Many feel that his influence is slipping. You are a group of up-and-coming private investigators. A woman has scraped together her savings to hire you to investigate her sister's murder. As the layers of this mystery get pulled back, you will rub elbows and butt heads with many of the factions and personalities in this city. Can you pull Metrópole’s secrets from its gaping maw, or will it swallow you whole? -- *This Shadowrun game presents a more streamlined version of the 4e rules to retain all the tactics, equipment, and buckets of dice that you've come to love.

Where: Discord/Roll20 Seattle. 2073. You are a group of experienced shadowrunners who have made a name for yourselves in this corrupt city. For those who can afford it, you have already tipped the scales in local affairs a few times now. Your list of allies and enemies grows by the month. A Mr. Johnson who works for Ares Macrotechnology's local R&D department has approached you for a job. He wants his boss's position, and he needs your help doing it. The job? Infiltrate one of the AAA megacorp's testing facilities in the Cascade Mountains, steal the sole existing blueprints for a new weapon, escape, and turn them in to Mr. Johnson. Then he will play the hero once he produces the blueprints a week later, making his boss look massively incompetent in the process. It's a simple job. In and out.

We will play for 60-90 minutes, take a 10-15 minute break once you make your plan, and then finish the rest of the 4-hour session. This is a one-shot playtest for a game I'll be running at a convention in a few weeks. Be aware that the rules are still in alpha, so there could be some roughness. But I assure you that these rules are still a lot smoother than the official ones. If you ever wanted to play Shadowrun but were put off by the official rules, this game is for you!
