A new SF Shadowrun game was in the offing the day after the MiniCon. I'm not a fan of the setting or system, but the SF group's just too much fun to hang with. Tired after MiniCon, & with allergies kicking my ass, I went up anyway.
Sad to say this was not the best SF game. Kim made it, so that was totally cool. She brought her new hubby which was fun except that he's a bit rusty and couldn't quite come up to our level of gaming. He gave it a helluva try though, so props to him. They had rearranged their 6-month anniversary to attend, so 2 thumbs way up.
The GM gave me a mage. A complicated character to play, though with some interesting background stuff. Alas, I wasn't up to the task and didn't really grasp the role & best methods of utilizing the character. The GM had turned the tables on the C-Punk game I'd run and that was interesting. The group kept it fun until about 3/4 of the way through. The GM killed off Gil's character (a helluva surprise, I'll give him that) and then handed Gil the NPC that had killed his other character. Gil was having his usual fun with the 1st character and got handed an aggressive authority type character - one we'd all come to hate and fear. Turns out Gil doesn't like to play this kind of character, so he wasn't able to make the transition. From there the game kinda fizzled. It ended with a whimper and early as well. Good for sleep-deprived me. Home at a decent hour.
Monday saw a new chapter in the C-Punk game. Yesterday we finally got out of the initial combat. Now to decide if we want to press on or move to new characters and adventures. I'll send out a group Email and we'll figure it out from there.
Running the same Paranoia game at DunDra, so I've already reset everything. Thanks to Lisa, I made multiples of all the material. Sweet! I need to reset TERROR AT 6666 FEET. With luck I'll be ready for a Con a full week ahead of schedule (weird). Hopefully the resets for ConQuest Sac will go just as quickly.
Final news - I had to call Chaosium 'cause the PDF I wanted wasn't on the Monograph page. I asked about the BRP momograph contest. I submitted TERROR to the contest. No answer at that time but got an Email a few days later letting me know that they were about done with it. Winners & prizes to be announced shortly. Fingers crossed...
