Brooke Chang

The story of NeoNET is one of a megacorporation adapting, changing, reinventing, and winning at all costs. We sit down with Booke Chang to tell the story of this corporate pheonix which has risen from the ashes and fallen for, perhaps, the last time.  Chit-Chat / Catching Up  BOBBY - Dentist  News / Stuff  The podcast is still ending.  Q&amp;A  Martin Ackerton - Hi Bobby and Cassie. I am a somewhat new GM. My group is really getting into Shadowrun, but we've avoided having a matrix character in the group. The players are either uninterested or daunted by the rules. One of my players wants to do the decking, but is afraid that they are going to steal the spotlight too much. How can include a matrix character in their runs without bringing the action to a halt for everyone else and causing them to resent the matrix? Paul McBride - What do you think about having a decker and a technomancer on the same team? Can they work well without overlapping too much? If so, how do they compliment each other?

Shedim, elder gods, ghouls, CFD cures... we talk about it all in this dive we take into the newest Shadowrun sourcebook, Dark Terrors. Come listen as we are joined by freelance author, Brooke Chang, to talk about this creepy crawly book! Chit-Chat / Catching Up  BOBBY - Wendy's rebuttal BROOKE - Rusty Zimmerman fandom kept her in Shadowrun.  Q&amp;A  Lazlo Zingo (PATRON) - The last sentence of Killing Hands says,"Your Killing Hands attacks are magical, so they can bypass a creature’s magical defenses against attack, such as the Immunity to Normal Weapons power, and may be used by adepts with Astral Perception during astral combat."1. Are there other "magical defenses against attack" besides Immunity to Normal Weapons that Killing Hands bypasses?It says "such as" so that implies there is more than one power it bypasses. The critter power of Regeneration seems to be another. Are there others? Mystic Armor?2. How does Killing Hands help during Astral Combat? The final line "may be used by adepts with Astral Perception during astral combat." What would that accomplish? Normal Astral Combat allows the combatant to choose stun or physical already. [Core page 315 - Damage inflicted from astral combat can be either Stun or Physical (attacker’s choice).] My group is considering allowing the power to let the Adept use their physical attributes instead of mental during Astral Combat.

We discuss shapeshifters in the sixth world of the Shadowrun tabletop rpg. Learn what they are, how they integrate with the world, and how to get started creating one. Chit-Chat / Catching Up  BOBBY - Bojangles' Baked, Fried, Frozen, Thawed, and Re-Baked Turkey!  News / Stuff  We are taking live calls next show! Be on the Discord server to join in! http://shadowcasters.network/discord  Q&amp;A  Ross D’Souza (PATRON) - The rulebooks are generally centred around the American continent and hence also the stats are focused with that in mind. Would you change or tweak anything if you were basing a campaign in a different place? What areas would you consider and think about.  I was wondering on your opinions as I've just started running a game (first Shadowrun GMing! - so many rules!) based around the London Sprawl and Cambridge (as we are all British). We decided to tweak the weapon availability ratings as weapons in UK are currently pretty much illegal and we wanted to continue this feeling through to the Sixth World. So we've bumped up non-R-availability weapons to R-availability weapons, and R-availability weapons to F-availability weapons (with a couple exceptions in line with current British law). Of course this applies to the nationally run areas, and extraterratoriality of the relevant corps are exempt - but if you're totting guns around a corp area, you'd have other problems. Also it's not like underground organisations and shady areas don't have them. It's just above board, it's cracked down upon a lot more and their reactions are more appropriate with that in mind. John Schleiber - In one of my groups, I have a player who's very opposed to the whole direction the metaplot of Shadowrun has been taking. This player is a transplanted Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0 player, and only plays technological-based characters -- deckers, riggers and the like. He doesn't want anything to do with magic personally, and he's very unhappy that Shadowrun seems to push the magic angle of the metaplot. He'd like to see a return to more technology-oriented metaplot elements, but he's losing hope of that happening.  I'm wondering if any of you have played with characters like this, who are recalcitrant to accepting the mix of elements in the game to the point of stubbornness, and how you'd work to either change their minds on the concept, or at least work their objections into your runs.

Q&amp;A  TJ Payne (PATRON) - First, I feel like the best way to get your hands on a new rpg system is to play with people better than you. Are there any places to join in runs with some people who can show me the ropes without my presence impeding on their own experience? I've done 3 sessions with my buddies so far, and while we're having a great time, I'm still confused as drek with a good 99% of the game, all the way to double checking dodge and soak rules every fight, or just discovering we were doing initiative wrong (and still probably are), and the last thing I want to do is hop onto ShadowNet or RunnerHub and slow people down.Second, where is a good place to purchase pdfs for the game? I've always used books for all my rpgs, but since Catalyst has... Well... "Catalyst problems", the need for an errata and index is huge. I sort of remembered hearing that the pdfs get errata updated, or am I totally crazy? Joseph Carey - Hello Folks. I'm pretty new to Shadowrun and have noticed that across games a lot of players and GM's seem to abide pretty closely to the setting's lore (particularly compared to D&amp;D). Is this typical to games you've played? What makes the history and setting so integral to Shadowrun? Have you ever messed around with major plot elements, factions, or major events?

Ep 007 - The Role of a Shadowrunner in the 6th World

Time to answer all the questions you've got burning a hole in your brain! We were joined by Cliff Wright (aka: Mr. Johnson) of The Arcology Podcast. It was a blast! We even had some heated debate.  Chit-Chat / Catching Up Check out our Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/sixthworldpodcast  BOBBY - Star Wars Day, I want a new intro, Fallout 4 Survival Mode  News / Stuff  A new Earthdawn actual play - Legends of Earthdawn Live show from Origins! Forbidden Arcana is out!  Q&amp;A  Sparkles (Patron) - For Mr. J and other GMs - When creating content for you campaigns, do you find it more interesting to use character backgrounds, contacts, qualities as source material to drive the direction or do you prefer to drive the campaign thru your own/published content?  Player content followed by cannon then my own. Player content makes it easier to get the players invested in the story. Canon material is fun to use as then players can relate when it shows up elsewhere like podcasts, missions...Using my own content can be fun but too often it results in the Ikea Effect (we overvalue things because they are ours versus their inherent value). When I do use my own I try always let the players give me an indication of what they like then will often give creative license to them.   Chris Vandergriff (Patron) - Can you do a show on how to use Shadowrun in the wild? The adjustments needed from urban to rural knowledge skills. New contacts available, or new uses for old contacts. The shows favorite or most desired Howling Shadows menace to use.  Bobby can we please? I think we can put this on our topics list. Howling Shadows is one of my favorite books and I’ve a wide range of jobs from trips into Eden, Ecuador in Amazon, divind underwater in Aquacology, and sinking a ship with whales &amp; sea lions   Keith King (Patron) - Seeing I am now bloody famous (for getting a mention on this podcast), I thought I'd try again. Booby your complex action podcast (which are dead set awesome by the way virtual high-five for Cliff as well) on Matrix Perception really put the Razorcat amongst the phoenician birds for my group. Mostly because we (that’s is to say “I”) was doing it wrong. So now to my question. When you search for hidden icons (unopposed matrix perception test) and you get at least one success. Do you a) get a list of hidden icons (like searching for wifi on your phone) so you effectively know how many hidden icons there are or b) Just get the knowledge that there are hidden icons.   I understand from that point you can start using an opposed matrix perception test (on random hidden icon) to reveal the icon to you. I also get that you can narrow down who you are going to roll against based on something you know about the icon, for example attached to smartlink for guns or is NOT transmitting GPS location to the matrix (mostly to get around the BS pocket full of RFIDs tags trick), but again, would it be like filtering a list in excel and therefore you know how many smartlinked enabled weapons are hidden within 100m of you… Hopefully I have made my question clear enough. If not, email me back and I will reword it.   Cheers guys and bloody top work again Chummers keep it up. Oh and Cassie my players are going need their rubber lined budgie smugglers for their next run… they are off to the party egg. Also I’m Australian if you don’t know what budgie smugglers are.. google it.  Your 1 hit on Matrix Perception would get you more of the list of hidden icons in area, same host or 100 meters. There can be a LOT of them. Keep in mind door locks, light fixtures, cameras...are all likely to be running silent to reduce the clutter in Matrix in everyone’s AR. Of course there are just persona who don’t want to stand out too. Technically per core you’d have to start picking them out of that list at randomly and doing opposed test on each one to find out more information. This is why you want to know 1 feature of the icon running silent to filter out all the extras. What a ‘feature’ is can be bit of GM interpretation. I let hackers using AR with line of site to device and icons easier because they know what they are looking for. Super excited to hear you’re going to the party egg! Write us back and let me know how it goes. :)   @JenT0n1c - https://twitter.com/JenT0n1c/status/859502922316496896 Victor Breugemann (Facebook) - Does Daylight Saving Time still exist in the Sixth World?

Assuming your Banishing &amp; Spellcasting Dice pool are 16 (4 bought hits) Facing a Spirit alone with no other runners to help Spirit Man F10 (Not Bound 3 services)   Lightning: 23 opposing dice pool [14, physical track]  4 hits vs 5 spirit has the advantage on this   Powerbolt: 11 opposing dice pool [14, physical track]  4 vs 2  = 7 turns to dissipate   Manabolt: 10 opposing dice pool [13, stun track]  4 vs 2  = 7.5  turns to dissipate   Banishing: 10 opposing dice pool  [3, services][Free Spirit 10]  4 vs 2 = banished 1.5 turns (5 turns free spirit)     Spirit Air F8 (Bound 2 services)Assuming Magic 6 Summoner)  Lightning: 20 opposing dice pool [11, physical track]  4 hits vs 5 spirit has the advantage on this   Powerbolt: 6 opposing dice pool [11, physical track]  4 hits vs 1 = 3.5 turns to dissipate   Manabolt: 8 opposing dice pool [12, stun track]  4 hits vs 2 = 6 turns to dissipate   Banishing: 16 opposing dice pool  [2, services]  4 vs 4 so this is toss up on who wins     Spirit Fire F6 (Bound 2 services(Assuming Magic 6 Summoner)  Lightning: 16 opposing dice pool  [12, physical track] Powerbolt: 7 opposing dice pool [12, physical track] Manabolt: 6 opposing dice pool [11, stun track] Banishing: 12 opposing dice pool  [2, services]   Drain is risk being higher on banishing &amp; likely physical.  Banishing facing higher dice pool than direct spells but lower thresholds.  Indirect spells face the highest opposing dice pool   Conclusion: Banishing is more viable than spellcasting for Summoned &amp; Free Spirits but not for Bound Spirits.    Tavares Maintenance - Thanks Cassie! so the last session I had, my physad used a dmso/Gama-Scopolamine dart to paralyze someone. my DM and I were a both hazy on how to handle that drug interaction. He rolled 3 successes against my drug of 12 power and at first he thought the mark wouldn’t be affected. I thought that because of how the gama reads that the mark would be paralyzed still but the length of the drug would be lessened by 3 successes worth. was I wrong?  You are right. Gamascopolmaine has power of 12 and your GM only rolled 3 success. Since the power was not reduced to 0 the drug takes effect. The target will be immediately be paralyzed for about an hour. The description doesn’t say net hits reduces that time but it would be fair for a GM to determine it might. After the ~hour of paralysis wears off then the truth serum part kicks in for another hour. Mechanically their Willpower drops by 3 but can’t go below 1 which is going to hurt their resistance to many social skills like Intimidation or spells like Mind Probe.    j Wrex - you mentioned you're a beer snob... which do you prefer: draft, can, or bottle? Ken Miller - Here is a question....why is it that when catalyst drops new material on the market, people race to buy it, then flame it on the forums but still use it? .?.?.?. Happens every time....  Feeding confirmation biases  That’s what the internet does……? Sorry I don’t have a better answer. :) It’s a tough circle because we all love dear mother Shadowrun and many of us love our freelancers &amp; content creators step-siblings...Our drunk gluttonous step father Catalyst won’t get off the couch.

Time to answer all the questions you've got burning a hole in your brain! We were joined by Cliff Wright (aka: Mr. Johnson) of The Arcology Podcast. It was a blast! We even had some heated debate.  Chit-Chat / Catching Up Check out our Patreon! - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/sixthworldpodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/sixthworldpodcast</a> <ul> <li>BOBBY - Star Wars Day, I want a new intro, Fallout 4 Survival Mode</li> </ul> News / Stuff <ul> <li>A new Earthdawn actual play - Legends of Earthdawn</li> <li>Live show from Origins!</li> <li>Forbidden Arcana is out!</li> </ul> Q&amp;A <ul> <li>Sparkles (Patron) - For Mr. J and other GMs - When creating content for you campaigns, do you find it more interesting to use character backgrounds, contacts, qualities as source material to drive the direction or do you prefer to drive the campaign thru your own/published content? <ul> <li>Player content followed by cannon then my own. Player content makes it easier to get the players invested in the story. Canon material is fun to use as then players can relate when it shows up elsewhere like podcasts, missions...Using my own content can be fun but too often it results in the Ikea Effect (we overvalue things because they are ours versus their inherent value). When I do use my own I try always let the players give me an indication of what they like then will often give creative license to them.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Chris Vandergriff (Patron) - Can you do a show on how to use Shadowrun in the wild? The adjustments needed from urban to rural knowledge skills. New contacts available, or new uses for old contacts. The shows favorite or most desired Howling Shadows menace to use. <ul> <li>Bobby can we please? I think we can put this on our topics list. Howling Shadows is one of my favorite books and I’ve a wide range of jobs from trips into Eden, Ecuador in Amazon, divind underwater in Aquacology, and sinking a ship with whales &amp; sea lions</li> </ul> </li> <li>Keith King (Patron) - Seeing I am now bloody famous (for getting a mention on this podcast), I thought I'd try again. Booby your complex action podcast (which are dead set awesome by the way virtual high-five for Cliff as well) on Matrix Perception really put the Razorcat amongst the phoenician birds for my group. Mostly because we (that’s is to say “I”) was doing it wrong. So now to my question. When you search for hidden icons (unopposed matrix perception test) and you get at least one success. Do you a) get a list of hidden icons (like searching for wifi on your phone) so you effectively know how many hidden icons there are or b) Just get the knowledge that there are hidden icons.   I understand from that point you can start using an opposed matrix perception test (on random hidden icon) to reveal the icon to you. I also get that you can narrow down who you are going to roll against based on something you know about the icon, for example attached to smartlink for guns or is NOT transmitting GPS location to the matrix (mostly to get around the BS pocket full of RFIDs tags trick), but again, would it be like filtering a list in excel and therefore you know how many smartlinked enabled weapons are hidden within 100m of you… Hopefully I have made my question clear enough. If not, email me back and I will reword it.   Cheers guys and bloody top work again Chummers keep it up. Oh and Cassie my players are going need their rubber lined budgie smugglers for their next run… they are off to the party egg. Also I’m Australian if you don’t know what budgie smugglers are.. google it. <ul> <li>Your 1 hit on Matrix Perception would get you more of the list of hidden icons in area, same host or 100 meters. There can be a LOT of them. Keep in mind door locks, light fixtures, cameras...are all likely to be running silent to reduce the clutter in Matrix in everyone’s AR. Of course there are just persona who don’t want to stand out too.</li> <li>Technically per core you’d have to start picking them out of that list at randomly and doing opposed test on each one to find out more information. This is why you want to know 1 feature of the icon running silent to filter out all the extras. What a ‘feature’ is can be bit of GM interpretation. I let hackers using AR with line of site to device and icons easier because they know what they are looking for.</li> <li>Super excited to hear you’re going to the party egg!

I run a d&amp;d game full of totally new players. I am trying to gracefully transition the game into shadowrun without players feeling forced into number crunch rules hell. Any advice on how to get them introduced to the SR universe/ruleset without them totally rejecting it outright? Thomas Miller - What would be a good way to deal with player character infection of HMHVV? Am I just missing a piece of a book that explains how that particular process works, and what the dangers are (feral or lucid, and the like)? Or are there no real draw backs aside from the standard, Human &gt; Ghoul / Vampire / Nosferatu (Or whatever meta-type and their equivalents.) Scott Flowers - Do you use house rule the crash rules and if so, how do you house rule them? Eric Lesage - What house rule have you implemented that you find has had the most positive impact on your game? Although mechanical short cuts are usually a good thing in SR(ie. Modified alchemy rules) ot would be interesting if any houserules had a big impact on the tone of and lore created by the game. Scott Sain - Round table question. Do you remember your first run in Shadowrun? If so, what was it? Also what's your most memorable run GMing or playing? Soymage - what role do you generally not get the most in your teams? Matrix, Vehicles, Magic, Combat, Social, or Other? Scott Sain - Ritual Magic… nobody seems to know a whole lot about it.

What about the angelic forms? Is there a plane from which one could summon a Planatar or Solar (both D&amp;D trademarks of Wizzards of the Coast)? Keith King (PATRON) - I have a rigger in my gaming group that always runs his roadmaster im offline mode whilst connected with a DNI in the safety of a his cocoon. This is partly to protect the vehicle from deckers but also his RCC. Currently the penalty for running in this mode is he can't wirelessly control any of his other drones. As the RCC is offline obviously. But the only real penalty I can apply to the road master is that offline he can't utilize and maps to navigate with. This means in a car chase if traveling to a specific destination I rule that another player has to be on their commlink yelling out directions (using both simple and complex actions). I was wondering as fellow gm's do you a) allow riggers to run vehicles they are plugged into offline and b) of so what penalties do you apply for doing so. As we all know "everything has its price".

What about the angelic forms? Is there a plane from which one could summon a Planatar or Solar (both D&amp;D trademarks of Wizzards of the Coast)?</li> <li>Keith King (PATRON) - I have a rigger in my gaming group that always runs his roadmaster im offline mode whilst connected with a DNI in the safety of a his cocoon. This is partly to protect the vehicle from deckers but also his RCC. Currently the penalty for running in this mode is he can't wirelessly control any of his other drones. As the RCC is offline obviously. But the only real penalty I can apply to the road master is that offline he can't utilize and maps to navigate with. This means in a car chase if traveling to a specific destination I rule that another player has to be on their commlink yelling out directions (using both simple and complex actions).

Ep 019 - Shadowrun Missions w/ Nick Van

Adam Koebel

The game Shadowrun has a long history, and we take some time to talk to Adam Koebel about 1st Edition Shadowrun, his show Mirrorshades, and the journey our beloved game has undergone over the course of it's life, for good or for bad. Chit-Chat / Catching Up Check out our Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/sixthworldpodcast  BOBBY - Vacation in DC - Library of Congress was awesome. CASSIE - Latest episode on Emerald Grid revealed a Drake &amp; I was a SHARK!  News  NONE!  Q&amp;A  Robert Woford - I think I have it down but want to verify, a materialized spirit gains Immunity to normal weapons, this gives it armor equal to 2X Essence which acts as Hardened Armor? there is a lot of jumping to different abilities so I was getting confused. Not sure I am allowed to ask a question or not since I have the shirt to prove "I asked Bobby a question". Not sure if it is one question ever Chris Vandergriff - Why is it so hard for Shadowrun game groups to organize into structured teams? They don't seem to want to accept a hierarchy. They all want the extra dice when someone has the "leadership" skill, but then hardly listen to that individual's suggestions or directives.
