We got together today at our new location for the Port Wayne Shadowrun campaign. The room was nice with good lighting, lots of space, tables, and chairs, and no distractions. It is a bit annoying that they don't have snacks for sale, but we'll learn to bring our own. We're all still getting to know the rules for Shadowrun 4, so today was spent on character creation. It is a bit overwhelming with all the rule sets, so the guys mostly settled in on building their characters from similar pregens.
The party so far (as I can remember it):
One thing I found today that was very annoying is that the Shadowrun Core Book is no longer in print and hardcover copies now run from $50 to $90. This, of course, is just a ploy by Catalyst to push people to SR5 due to come out later this year. Catalyst could learn a lot from Paizo on how to make money while not gouging their fans. Paizo, for example, puts the basic rules online for free in their PRD. I really wish that were the case for Shadowrun.
I need to keep on reading and rereading the Shadowrun books to get the rules down. There are a lot of specialty rules to keep track of, and I can tell that the guys are going to need help. I guess I better get used to lugging all my books to the game every week.
