In the twisting sub-streets of Ward 46 of the Greater Los Angeles Protection Area lies a little bar called the Nob. That's where you hang out, waiting for your fixer to hook you up with jobs that might be enough to break even on your shitty-ass apartment. Then she walks in: Piranha. Tall and lithe, an elf who clearly comes from money. She goes up to Sam, your bartender and fixer, insisting on the best damn runners in the city. You happen to be the lucky sobs who are the only runners in the bar at the moment, so he points her to your table. And that's how you get started on a job that will take you deep into the heart of Renraku's R&D department, tangling with lethal security forces, where you will risk drawing the attention of Haruhiko Nakada himself, the infamous CEO of Renraku. But you still have no idea how deep this rabbit hole actually goes... * * * We will be using 3rd edition, the classic that I grew up on. Reviews of more recent editions have not inspired me to switch. 3e may be a beast, but I've got pages of reference material that I've put together to help make it more accessible, as well as a custom interactive pdf character sheet, which you can find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments/1b08mi4/shadowrun_3e_character_sheet_and_quick_reference/ This is a stand-alone mini-campaign of 3-5 sessions, including a session 0 for character creation. However, it could also act as "Episode 1" for a longer campaign. We could move on to "Episode 2" after this one is done if folks have had fun and would like to continue.  The cost is $25 per session on StartPlaying.games. It is open to both experienced and new players.

Deep in the remote vastness of the Southern deserts lies the Tomb of the First Lion: a lost monument to a forgotten king. Forgotten by all, except one. Once in a generation, a terrible monster--Anathema--arises and comes to the tomb, trying to break in through its sealed doors, killing any and all who stand in its way. Legend holds that if it ever succeeds, if it ever breaks through those doors, the world will end. And so a holy duty falls upon a select few once every thirty years. And now the call has come, and you must answer. Many will fight, few will survive. Will you find glory and fame to be remembered in story and song for generations to come? Will you stop the Anathema and save the world? Or will you die in ignominy? --- This is an Exalted 3e game that serves as an excellent introduction for new players who know nothing about the lore or the setting, but will still be great fun for veterans who know (or can guess) what's going on. If you are a veteran player who joins, please come prepared to not share any lore at all with the newbies! Let them discover through play! Your characters will start as mortals, underdogs in the high-powered world of Exalted, who have joined the Wyld Hunt to save the world from monsters and demons. However, you can expect that your characters will Exalt over the course of the story--should you survive!
