This is episode 13 of season 2. We introduce a new player to the game. Dexxx is joining the team as Grimm, a human drone operator. We immediately throw him into combat as he joins the rescue effort to get Ali, Diendre and Kaylee out of the hospital. Cecile gets rescued, sort of, by Kirsten again. Kirsten is all business this time around. How much of the bubbly but slightly college girl is an act? Finally, there do seem to be continued consequences to some of the teams earliest actions.

AftermathHoi there Chummers, and welcome to the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast.This is a 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and played by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 12 of season 2. The team deals with the aftermath of the bombing at Hazels Bar in very different ways. Boxer meets Nadia at the hospital, she got there faster than her. How important is Kaylee anyway? Diendre is reminded of ACAB. Grace's view of meta-humanity is further tarnished by a text conversation. Cecile provides discrete overwatch, and begins collecting data, but others are already on the scene deleting it. A quick warning that there is some very unexplicit darkness around the 1 hour and 5 minute mark.

It's okay to kill monsters... Isn't it? Hoi there Chummers, and welcome to the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast.This is a 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and played by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 11 of season 2 and it features an existential crisis for Grace, a dubious solution to that crisis proposed by Diendre, Cecile rolls dice to water plants, more secrets are revealed to the team, a meeting with the mysterious fixer Prokop and a cliff hanger finale.

Welcome back to another episode of the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast Chummers.This is a 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and played by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 10 of season 2 and it features mayhem and carnage, new old twists are discovered. We find out that Grace has a motorcycle helmet made just for her, she engages in astral combat, defeats her opponent and mourns their passing. Diendre rides like the wind, evades certain destruction and the mean GM takes her sidecar. Boxer lives up to her resume and blows up a car, and leaps on to a semi trailer mid crash. Cecile confronts Kaylee Lorraine about her parents and discovers new dark secrets. When will she ever learn?

Welcome back to another episode of the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast Chummers.This is a 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and driven forward rather noncommittally by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 9 of season 2 and it takes place in possibly my favorite location and situation of this game. I'm speaking of course of good old "Olga's Tearoom" in Tacoma, and Diendres fan club. In this episode the team settles in at the tea room to make sense of their discoveries and plan their next moves, but are distracted by the fan club. Olga herself makes an appearance. If you want to read more about the tea room check out the Seattle 2072 source book or join us on our discord https://discord.gg/2rg6yyHeHF where I am going to post some of the canon lore.One more thing that is happening. I'm falling in line with some of the other wiz shows out there and trying my hand at creating an intro song with AI. I've put one at the end of the show if you feel like listening to it. Let me know on our discord if you like it and check out some other versions there as well.

This is episode 8 of season 2. In this episode the team continues to infiltrate Warehouse Alliance under the guise of a security audit. Diendre takes the job almost too seriously, Grace intimidates a guard and makes some horrific discoveries and well...their cover might have been blown.

Welcome back Omaes to another episode of the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast. For those of you who have been following us for a while, I apologize for the delay in getting this episode out to the matrix. The last half of 2024 brought some of the less pleasant experiences that we all have to go through to my life and for a while I was absorbed by them and lacked the mental and emotional bandwidth to work on the show. Back to the intro, This is a 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and driven forward rather noncommittally by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 7 of season 2. The team has been given a job through the mysterious fixer known as Prokop Skilful to once again infiltrate Warehouse Alliance to secure evidence, the more damning the better, of the corps illegal activities. To aid them they have been provided passcodes to the facility and a work order for a security audit. Another run against Warehouse Alliance Puyallup commences, Diendre carries Grace, some disturbing discoveries are made, and a whole lot of paydata is accumulated. Now whatever will the team do with it?Thank you for joining us, and I hope you enjoy the show. Reach out to us on our discord if you have any comments or want to point out my errors in ruleskeeping.

Welcome back Omaes to another episode of the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast. A 4th edition shadowrun actual play GM'd by myself, Paul, and driven forward rather noncommittally by Veronika as Cecile, aka College Girl, Kat as Diendre, Val as Ali aka Boxer, and Beth as Grace aka Nightingale. This is episode 6 of season 2. The team has been given a job through the mysterious fixer known as Prokop Skilful to once again infiltrate Warehouse Alliance to secure evidence, the more damning the better, of the corps illegal activities. To aid them they have been provided passcodes to the facility and a work order for a security audit. College Girl turned the job down, but in this episode as the rest of the team starts planning and doing legwork she finds herself drawn back in to provide some matrix support. Text messages galore, Grace explores the fascinating "glamour" that causes Diendre to appear differently when viewed through natural eyes or a device, Ali serves real food, and Diendre and Cecile lay the groundwork for the run.

This is episode 5 of season 2 and it features the whole gang again for a change. Cecile and Diendre hang out together while Cecile does some matrix work for her. Neither seem to be in a great mood. Ali hangs out with Kaylee at the clinic and the two of them run into some trouble on the way to Hazel's bar. Grace has a chat with Dylan Pike of the Hermetic Order of the Auric Aurora and finds some common ground with him after his aloof and stand-offish first impression. Finally, Prokop Skillful makes an appearance and gives the gang a job, and drops some clues, both intentionally and not. Grace eats a chocolate cake, Diendre senses fire, and Cecile walks out.

This is episode 4 of season 2 and it features Cecile, aka College Girl, doing a little matrix sleuthing.

Hoi there Omae, and welcome back to the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast, a Shadowrun 4th Edition actual play podcast. Jander on over here and take a listen to a very special Episode, our 29th in fact. This is a solo session with Kat who is playing as the Dryad Diendre, spelled Diendre, which pronunciation I am certainly massacring. She is described as having Green-Brown skin with patterns like vines running all over her body, with hair that changes with the season usually in a long braid that rest around her shoulders. if one looked into her eyes they would imagine them a reflection off a clear pool of water at night. her typical wear is a trench coat that looks worn from long use and seems like it once had patches and badges. her other street ware is an vintage style white office shirt and a green tie with black pants and what seems to be steel toed workboats. her face shows more years than her genes will allow, and one of her ears appears to be clipped like someone tried to cut it off with a knife, but she wears her scars proudly. In this episode Diendre, ICE and Rigor Mortis attempt to find respite after the jail-break and escape through the barrens. Unfortunately they end up in Snohomish, a part of Seattle that turns out to be less than welcoming to Elves and ICE alike. The past attempts to catch up to ICE, and Diendre puts her specialized gear to good use.

Hoi there Omae, and welcome back to the Hard Knocks Sorority Podcast, a Shadowrun 4th Edition actual play podcast. Jander on over here and take a listen to Episode 28 in which the team makes their get away following their extremely successful and well executed rescue mission. Getaway...oh right...that part no one planned for. It goes swimmingly. After a bit of a miscue Cecile gets a good nights sleep, Diendre, ICE and Rigor Mortis drive through the night, and Grace and Ali go camping. As always featuring Beth as Grace aka Nightingale and Val as Ali aka Boxer, Veronika as Cecile aka College Girl and Kat as Diendre.

In Episode 27 the team takes on the job of rescuing Rigor Mortis from Prokop and ICE, from the Warehouse Alliance facility in Puyallup. There is some magic, some shooting and some driving. Its all fun and games...

In Episode 26 we follow along as Grace and Ali spend some downtime together shopping for illegal goods, exploring abandoned buildings, causing bedlam and generally bonding as only a changeling cat woman and equestrian pony can.

In this episode our team of runners engages in actual combat. It goes about as you would expect, but the team prevails and everyone (except for ICE) contributes to their success. Cecile has a good cry, Diendre drops her sword, Boxer shoots a drone, and Nightingale summons a guard pony.

In this episode the gang debates interrogation methods and consensus is difficult to come by. George Van Housen is confused and indignant, but not afraid. But then he realizes he has something to fear and produces at least one bit of important paydata. Then the drek hits the proverbial fan.

Hello everyone and thank you for listening. It's been too long since our last session dropped and as you will hear in this short episode there are reasons. We lost some audio. This is a recreation of the audio that should have been at the end of Episode 17.

In Episode 17 the team completes the planning on how they are going to get George Van Housen in the bag. Cecile does some hacking, but she's still grumpy. Diendre makes some calls, and Boxer and Nightingale are confronted with a locked door.

The team wakes up at Samovar. In search of sustenance and acceleration Ali, Grace and Diendre meet in the kitchen where they find ICE and Prokop talking over a cup of coffee. The two men have apparently settled their differences. Prokop makes them coffee and breakfast and then takes his leave to let them get down to planning. Cecile makes a brief appearance to grab a cup of coffee and leaves back to her room. The lack of product is really getting to her so she heads out to find relief and civilized society at Olga's Tea House in Tacoma. Meanwhile back at the Samovar there is a lot of talk before the team realizes that Cecile is missing and they track her down to Olga's. Finally they decide on a course of action.

In this episode the team meets with their Mr. Johnson to collect their payment. They've located Ms. Antonson and she is doing well, so mission accomplished. Right, right? As expected Mr. Johnson now wants the team to put him in touch with Ms. Antonson, however they have their reservations. Turns out there are others who don't appreciate their interest in Ms. Antonson.

Diendre does some legwork and hues closely to her role. Cecile and ICE discuss their past and current predicaments in a cafe. Boxer and Grace go camping. Boxer is confronted by her past. Debts weigh heavily.

The team makes contact with their first Mr. J and he' s a doozy. The least Mr. J in the history of Mr. J's. A wannabe, a creep, and a coward. Actually, those descriptors are all related aren't they. Well, suffice it to say the team is quite grossed out but ultimately NuYen and the need thereof win out and they take the job.

The Sorority assembles at the Mr. J's requested meeting point, a very fashionable night club in Renton. It is surprisingly unsuited as a meeting place.

The team discusses terms with the mysterious and strange fixer called Prokop Skillful in the club called "Samovar". They meet a man called ICE, and are drawn into a very old vendetta.

The team is on their way to meet a mysterious fixer, but first they must overcome Grace's reluctance.

Kirstin has her hands full trying to get the team corralled. Cecile floats conspicuously around. Diendre tells a joke. Boxer misses her motorcycle and Grace summons a spirit.

Cecile gets some unwelcome news, Grace tries Afghan Nuke, Boxer gets handed a duffel bag and we meet Diendre.

Cecile sulks and the Kirstin offers the team a connect with a fixer. What could go wrong?

Taxidermy, arguments, and ungratefulness. "Hey, we're not getting paid for this?"

It's finally happened Chummers, Cecile has been rescued from the clutches of the scary corporate operative Alice DeVry! Or is she simply out of the frying pan and into the fire?

The rescue attempt moves to the kinetic phase. In this case that means glue guns, chisels and tasers amongst the more standard pistols and mana bolts.

The would be rescuers close in on the limousine that is whisking Cecile off to what feels like it may be her doom. She is still pretending to the world that she is in control but the walls are closing in rapidly. Unfortunately for her, cracking a moving limousine open and extracting an unwitting occupant is proving more difficult than our makeshift team of Shadowrunners anticipated or are geared up for.

The odd team assembled and now they are on their way to rescue the college girl. For no other reason than that they were asked to apparently. Or maybe payment was assumed? We know what that gets us! Cars are chased, shots are fired, spells are cast, glue is sprayed? Chisels are used? What the Frag?!?!?

Cecile's day at the lab at the University takes a dark turn when she is summoned to the Dean's office. From there things start to come undone. Cecile gets the distinct impression that this is not going to lead to a promotion.Ali, aka Boxer, gets a call for help from one of her rescue cases asking for another favor. Ali calls Grace, aka Nightingale, to asks if she can come in to the Seattle Metroplex proper and provide magical assistance. Grace is busy examining worms, but decides she will help.
