Here's the deal. For those of you who have perused the various Shadowrun sourcebooks, you know that they are fond of putting in character comments on the various source material.
For those of you who haven't seen the sourcebooks, it works like this:
The books are in-character sources (either articles, journals, actual textbooks, etc.) that get posted to the Shadowland nexus. The nexus is a floating pirate site that Shadowrunners use to chat with each other, gather information and tell big-nasty secrets of the corps & powerful people. Think of it as National Public Radio meets ICQ.
Anyway, the source material is posted to Shadowland and various NPCs can comment on the source throughout the material.
In case you haven't guessed it by now, this board is "in-character". So, until we get the characters up and running, not much is going to happen. But trust me, I have plans for this. I'm going to use this as a resource of the game to provide clues, information and, of course, red herrings to keep the story going.
Here are the rules:
1) All posts are made in character. Any post made out of character will be deleted.
2) This is open to everyone. Anyone not in the game can create an online "persona" to make comments and such. I'm also hoping to use you guys to provide some info to those in the game (See? You still get to play, Simon!).
3) Have fun. Seriously, if on-line personas crash, have fun with it. Remember, this is your character talking and not yourself. Disparaging remarks regarding another persona are NOT to be taken as personal attacks on person behind the mask.
So, look back here as we get nearer the game and watch for info.
