Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    A heist is planned! The Red Wires begin their reconnaissance in Hollywood and leave us asking the question, "What could go wrong invading the territory of another gang known for extensive explosives usage?"   It’s time to begin Episode 67, “I was thinking we would just, like, shoot the guys at the door”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    We started off this week's session with a little bit of behind-the-scenes chatter since Improv was still on Planet X for a few more days and Horatio was stuck in traffic on his way home from work. I had been talking with our beloved GM PickledPops during the week about ways to bring in more personal involvement from the Characters and we stumbled on the idea of starting a Barrens Fight Club as a hook to get a little more skin in the game for Juliet. Character motivations get discussed and clarified and we make a plan for the future direction of the campaign.   It’s time to begin Episode 66, “Yeah, cause I’m gonna be the King”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The evening has finally begun to wind down and Horatio, Juliet, Kennel, and a temporary cardboard cutout of Improv sit down to discuss what they’re going to do… with Red Hot. But first they decide to interrogate the frag out of him to find out what he knows.   It’s time to begin Episode 65, “He doesn't even look at you; the fist just goes thump"

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Sometimes the conversations that happen off-screen can be a lot of fun. Other times they just prove how mean our beloved GM PickledPops really is. I hope you enjoy a bonus mini-episode wherein Juliet and the GM have a little conversation about her first steps toward becoming… a real person.   It’s time to begin the Bonus Episode, “Juliet’s Redemption Begins"

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The patients get disconnected, the doctor learns about pain, an exit is made, chase combat is had… Chummers, we got a little bit of everything in this one.   It’s time to begin Episode 62, “That’s the meta-humane thing to do”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Knight Errant? Defeated. Spiders? Exploded. Biodrones? Murdered. Now who is this guy behind the door standing beside three bodies? Three bodies that our Runners might find to be very valuable but perhaps not in the way you think. Besides, when was the last time someone other than Improv was holding the detonator?   It’s time to begin Episode 61, “So I’m gonna smack down”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    When last we met our intrepid explorers they were greeted with the hissing of smoke grenades at their feet. What could they have possibly done that would require our beloved GM to look up the rules on… Chunky Salsa?   It’s time to begin Episode 60, “We’ll Edge that cause this needs to happen”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    A secret door leading further underground? I think it’s pretty obvious that our much respected Team of level-headed and clear thinking gentlemen and ladies are going to walk away from that obvious death trap. Right? It’s obvious that they’re… of for Ghost’s sake they’re trying to get in!   It’s time to begin Episode 58, “If we see anyone we're gonna shoot'em”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Where were we? Oh yes, we blew up half of the Barrens, released drugged-up gangers into a compound with orders to destroy everything, set some cockatrices free, told a paranoid murderhobo to have fun, and Dukes of Hazard’d a Gopher into what used to be a building. Now what could we have possibly found that would make Improv say, “Huh."   It’s time to begin Episode 57, “Want me to ram it?”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    It’s go time! We decide where to put the snipers, which grenades the Dwarves outriders use to rock and roll, and where to send the cockatrices. Put in your highest-rating Sound Dampers because something is about to go boom.   It’s time to begin Episode 56, “It’s gonna be like the fifth of July”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia… I’m just gonna apologize in advance.   So there is this guy, username of Ulminati. Stands about two and a half meters tall, lives in a frozen waste with the other frost giants, does lame stuff like praying for the upcoming fimbulwinter (fimbulvetr is his cursed tongue) most days but sometimes, just sometimes, he does something even more horrible like reword songs to fit a Shadowrun theme. Usually I can see his message on Reddit and delete it before I’ve had a chance to read the foul words but thanks to this unknown quantity, this user called heckruler, I’ve been cursed with hearing the unholy words put to music.   As I suffer so must you.   The (Modern) Career Criminal's Song [Runner - Face] I am the very model of a modern career criminal The violence I use on jobs trends often toward minimal I take my pay from Johnson, though their goals remain a mystery Don't ask too many questions, or your team will soon be history [Runner - Muscle] I shoot with gel when fighting so I don't kill SINless commoners APDS is best against both spirits and their summoners But if the run goes loud again the bodycount will soon accrue You better run 'cause HTR is coming for the lot of you! [Chorus] You better run 'cause HTR is coming for the lot of you! You better run 'cause HTR is coming for the lot of you! You better run 'cause HTR is coming for the lot of you! [Runner - Mage] I am very good at solving things in meatspace and the astral world Both making mana barriers and the fireballs I like to hurl Most of my spells are flashy but mind magic is subliminal I am the very model of a modern career criminal! [Chorus] Yes many spells are flashy but mind magic is subliminal He is the very model of a modern career criminal! [Runner - Decker] When it is time for legwork, teams turn often to their matrix-man I dive the hosts for info, and for traps and guns I also scan My matrix time in hotsim takes but seconds on the meatspace clocks Yet all my team is fast asleep, it's really quite the paradox [Runner - Rigger] If you need hasty transport then you really want me on your side I use my pets for scouting and make sure our force is multiplied They use their guns and sensors and engage in electronic war And sometimes they explode, but really that's what you bring drones there for [Chorus] And sometimes they explode, but really that's what you bring drones there for! And sometimes they explode, but really that's what you bring drones there for! And sometimes they explode, but really that's what you bring drones there for!   …I am so sorry   Special thanks to u/Ulminati and u/heckruler for making this possible.   Original Reddit thread can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments/cswarz/the_modern_careercriminals_song/?

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    After a two-week break the Players found themselves again at the mercy of our dear GM PickledPops and we continue designing our mad scientist plan to rescue Red Hot and his crew from the clutches of this joint Spiders gang and Knight Errant force residing within the old water treatment plant. Today, we send Juliet in to do a physical recon of the area and hopefully not get murdered!   It’s time to begin Episode 55, “We may not be able to help you right away”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team meets RedHot at the drop off. He seems pretty normal but after what Heatwave said how can we know? Is he a traitor to the Crimson Crush? Is he a false friend to Horatio and, by extension, the Red Wires? Or is he secretly an Insect Spirit in the employ of ARES!? Only time, and maybe this episode, will tell.   It’s time to begin Episode 52, “You know, like, whack a fool when we're not looking"

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Planning time! How will the Team enact the capture of Red Hot? They could stalk him back to wherever he is calling home… they could lure him out by threatening a loved one… or they could use Improv’s plan that only involves a thousand rounds of Gel ammunition and half a dozen Dwarves on motorcycles.    It’s time to begin Episode 51, “But I, as the Player, have my suspicions"

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Well, well. Look who has come crawling back to the Treehouse. Heatwave, lieutenant of the Crimson Crush and all around chrome combat monster. It seems that she has yet another offer for the Team. Well, more precisely, it seems she has an offer for Horatio and somehow Kennel is a part of it. Will these knuckleheads ever catch a break?   It’s time to begin Episode 50, "He hasn't said anything but I'm pretty sure this is like a life dream of his"

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    We’ve had a pretty harrowing few weeks so it’s time to slow things down for just a moment and get some one on one time with the Team and some of their closest Contacts. Improv talks about her one friend Copper Cass, Kennel discusses his dad and the foster system, Juliet pins down where her paranoia originated, and Horatio explores his relationship with Red Hot. Yes, it feels a little bit like a therapy session but we totally aren’t externalizing our own personal fears by way of our Characters!    It’s time to begin Episode 49, “It's turned from an imaginary fortress into a real fortress”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    After much back and forth the Team comes to a decision regarding the mysterious Ms. Ivanov and her cryptic offer.   It’s time to begin Episode 48, “I mean, we can betray them later if we need to”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team takes to the desolate combat course astride a war machine proper for surviving in the Barrens!

Oh, and a mystery SUV sitting outside your home is never a bad omen, right?   It’s time to begin Episode 47, “By tires and / or things”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Locked in a sound-proof room with no Matrix access, no guns, no bombs, and a very angry man across the table. Or as the Red Wires call it: a typical Tuesday.   It’s time to begin Episode 43, “You need to be able to shank a guy before they shank you”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia ShadowPoint Solo Run.   Today’s installment of this ShadowPoint Solo run has Crack’n re-entering the design host looking for a special pic-a-nic basket before heading out to do a little digital scouting.   It’s time to begin, “Crack’N and the Reality Hackers, pt.4”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Holy drek we’ve almost made it to the meeting with the Brain Eater’s main negotiator! It’s been a long road filled with planning, determining angles of fire, calculating explosive yield, and letting Juliet actually talk to other living people.   It’s time to begin Episode 42, “And they better die before they get captured”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    We put Juliet in the spotlight for a while as she scouts the upcoming meet location even going so far as to terrify the rest of the Team by actually talking to people. With words. Not bullets.   It’s time to begin Episode 41, “Maybe with a truck full of guns”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia ShadowPoint Solo Run.   In this episode we continue the Solo Run that I was fortunate enough to GM for my friend Ulminati. His Character, Crack’N, is a plucky Decker with a Corporate background. She just wants some more friends in the world and desperately hopes that the Reality Hackers Matrix game will be among them.   Previously, she successfully navigated the Diner where she proved that she had the stomach for this kind of work. Now she travels along another pathway made of pure data, heading toward an unknown fate. Will there be another challenge before her and, if so, will it answer any of the thousand questions she is potentially dying to ask.   It’s time to begin, “Crack’N and the Reality Hackers, pt.2”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    A spectre from our future King of the Barrens makes her presence known. A conversation, as well as other things, are held in an unexpected meeting and it seems his childhood friend, Red Hot, may be keeping a few secrets of his own. Sorry, Horatio, but you’re about to have a bad night.   It’s time to begin Episode 39, “He was talkin' about the Kingdom of Hawai'i a while back”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    And the grenade goes boom! It’s time to turn this enclosed dome of wildlife into chunky salsa! Kennel makes a fluttery friend that tries to kill him, Improv goes all fuckin’ weird with her weird ass cyberware, Horatio contemplates battlefield amputation, and poor Juliet is still moving to a new house and doesn’t get to play with us today.   It’s time to begin Episode 38, “If I had a MeFeed I would totally put that on it”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team completes their planning to go deep within the Plastic Jungles of Redmond and murder everything they see before stealing some antiquated technology. The Ork Messiah divines the future of metahumanity within his Kingdom and Doctor Improv examines some patients in the creepiest fashion possible before making a very special air freshener.    It’s time to begin Episode 36, “I see the hordes toppling the towers”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    It’s a rotodrone! It’s a suborbital! No, it’s Horatio sailing through the air in his beloved Toyota Gopher “Bertha"! The Team breaks into Snohomish with their mohawks flying proudly. Will Juliet callously murder a room full of people? Will Improv hit the detonator and turn a farm into a parking lot? Will Kennel… steal some chickens?   It’s time to begin Episode 33, “OH YEAH and then he rams the gate”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team comes up with the best plan possible to rob the Snohomish smugglers of their prized drug pre-cursors. Kennel shows that his knowledge of sheep herding is, perhaps, uncomfortably detailed, Improv displays mastery of the demolitions table in Run and Gun, Juliet gets volunteered to deliver some explody surprises, and Horatio refuses to use Red Wires as currency.   It’s time to begin Episode 32, “If we’re going to dose people why don’t we just get 7-7”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team continues their reconnaissance of the smuggler compound housing their much desired drug precursors. Our beloved GM PickledPops let us worry about a Tamanous presence before clarifying that, no, there are no obvious organ leggers busy at work here but there most definitely is a very large human that is absolutely is not an Ork.    It’s time to begin Episode 31, “No, it won't be a shame and that's my point“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    A plan is hatched to become the Heisenberg’s of Redmond but first Improv gets some brain improvements, Kennel has no idea where his loyalties lie, Horatio gives a lesson on inter-gang politics, and Juliet gives up violence for a new life as a farmer… okay, she drives around her new hideout and shoots people.   It’s time to begin Episode 30, “Oh, I'm a sky jellyfish!“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Full Heisenberg ahead! The Red Wires officially have their drug facility up and running with Improv cooking only the best red meth because and we all know that that blue stuff is just drek, Horatio has an uncomfortable conversation with Red Hot about their status with the Crimson Crush, and Discord crashed halfway through our session leaving us unfulfilled and eagerly awaiting next week.     It’s time to begin Episode 29, “You know, that Primo grade, Minty Fresh“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    When you play in a long-term campaign as we have been doing you find the occasional need to have a session just to discuss what you’ve accomplished and what you’d like to see going into the future.  This session was just that with us conducting mostly housekeeping and paperwork as we all had some downtime rolls to make and decisions to discuss for the future. With Horatio’s defeat of Plushie we acquired his old crew and discussed how to outfit them, we spoke a LOT about how to modify and develop the Treehouse, Kennel got to show off the newest member of his pack, and Juliet had been wanting to scout a new location to sate her Paranoia Quality so we took a few minutes to find her a new place to call… secondary fortified position.   It’s time to begin Episode 28, “Rather than a Trauma Patch we should give them Kamikaze“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Drugs are cooked, a pallet jack is restored, and everybody looks at Improv. Again. Kennel and Juliet return to the Squatters’ Mall in order to rescue CoCoPuff Shimmy’s dear old mom but a tusked obstacle stands in their way.   It’s time to begin Episode 24, "I mean, it’s not like you’re punching her in the face or anything“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    When we’re only six minutes in and math is being done to calculate maximum explosive value for just over forty kilograms of ANFO explosives you know the Red Wires are going to have fun. The Team goes on a shopping trip to get some of the Barrens’ favorite party supplies and Improv continues to prove herself a disturbing monster by offering to cook some of Shadowrun’s best drug in her personal lab.   It’s time to begin Episode 23, “We do need the Mall to survive, though“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Kennel and Juliet have made it past the future Red Samurai at the door of the Squatters’ Mall. Venturing inward they encounter Jasper, a true sign of the greatest that is the UCAS. They soon discover the gravity of their situation and call none other than CoCoPuff Shimmy to figure out a weigh to surmount this massive obstacle.   It’s time to begin Episode 21, “The red helps it conduct the Matrix waves better“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    With the storage area cleared out and no other toxic spirits to be found Juliet contacts Zap for a little information about the job he needs pulled, CoCoPuff Shimmy has words with Kennel about a fine woman in need of rescue, Horatio wants to find a better signal for RedHot, and Improv sits back wondering how the frag she got tied up with these morons.   It’s time to begin Episode 20, “There’s, like, nothing we can’t steal“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Feeling good after defeating Horatio’s nemesis, the Team sits down to discuss where they want to go next. Deciding to do a little legwork for once they check out an old basement. A perfectly safe, normal, uninhabited basement.    It’s time to begin Episode 19, “We seem to be getting a lot of stuff“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The final showdown between Plushie and Horatio is upon us. A list of demands backed by threat of violence is given. Will our haggard Team of Barrens ruffians submit to the desires of this purple-clad enemy from Horatio’s past? Or will they do exactly what you expect them to do?   It’s time to begin Episode 18, “Cause that’s how Plushie do“   Are they actually becoming a real gang rather than a motley group of outsiders? Things can only get easier with the sudden power granted by patching over a smaller gang. Honest.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team takes a moment to reflect on how they spent their down time after the harrowing escape from the catastrophic drug deal, fighting Knight Errant, getting shot by an attack helicopter, Horatio’s awesome driving, and the realization of what, exactly, they had stolen. The subject of the Treehouse and how each of the fledgling Runners saw it gets discussed before the Team finds themselves face to face with a piece of Horatio’s past.   It’s time to begin Episode 17, “She was supposed to be the tough one“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    With Kennel barely clinging to life as his Overflow Track continues to flow over the rest of the Team takes a stroll through the wardrobe department. Improv gets herself an early Christmas present from a new friend, Horatio shows a little local team pride, Juliet goes on a happy shopping spree in an armory, and Kennel chokes on his own blood as a result of internal bleeding. Certainly the Team will be able to make it to safety with all of those Knight Errant officers out of commission, right?   It’s time to begin Episode 16, “Get Frag’d, Oinkers!“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    Having handled the drug deal gone wrong in the basement garage the “Internal Affairs Division" heads upstairs in search of the elusive mystery commlink (and cyberdeck). Horatio invites some people to get slushed, Improv shows us how a STEM program benefits Shadowrunners, Juliet confuses us all by having some success with non-lethal ammunition, and Kennel makes a tough decision immediately before becoming KE’s favorite person ever.     It’s time to begin Episode 14, “Let’em Bleed, just like our Brothers“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team prepares for their 4am drug deal with the enigmatic totally-not-Knight-Errant man in a deserted parking garage.

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team continues their reconnaissance of the mystery commlink and makes a possible new client in the process. Kennel has a chat with someone, Juliet contemplates killing that someone, Improv proves that she can’t be trusted with the air you breathe, Horatio discusses Barrens’ Land Rights, and our beloved Game Master PickledPops finally acknowledges that he is just as horrible a person as the rest of us.   It’s time to begin Episode 13, “Rock, Paper, Betameth for it“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team gets a little work done by their new doctor friend and discusses a sure-fire way to make some easy cred before heading south into Spiders territory.    It’s time to begin Episode 12, “I would know. I would feel it in my Machine Pistol“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team continues their fight deep within the mining tunnels in search of a truckload of cyberware. Dear Jofferey plays fetch with a truck, Improv presses a red button, Horatio finds a Muse to guide his spray paint, Juliet considers doing the unthinkable… stealing! And Kennel absolutely doesn’t have a problem. I mean he could stop at any time.   It’s time to begin Episode 11, “There’s like a smear over here“

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team has accepted the doctor’s job offer to recover a truck load of cyberware. Juliet begins investigating the Hollywood area, Improv espouses the values of cranial explosions as theft protection, Kennel decides he really doesn’t like one of his dogs, and Horatio is absolutely not afraid of the dark.   It’s time to begin Episode 9, “Just gotta stay calm and like be gangster”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team has gathered at the Treehouse to discuss some possible ways to keep earning that NuYen. Improv, when not leaving random surprises laying about the floor, continues to crush the Matrix and bend it to her will, Horatio embraces his inner gunslinger, and both Juliet and Kennel get leads on their next possible job.   It’s time to begin Episode 8, “I thought that’s why they put bombs in people”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    With RedHot's equipment loaded in the Gopher and the Spiders gang surrounding the building it seems that the Team is in quite the predicament. Will Juliet shoot off more legs or does Improv just hit a secret detonator? At the very least everybody has been assured that Horatio’s Gopher’s will easily carry the equipment and any survivors back to the Treehouse.    It’s time to begin Episode 7, “It turned into a STOP-pher”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.    The Team begins their search of the apartment for RedHot’s missing equipment, Juliet completely misunderstands what it means to get a leg up on the competition, Kennel proves that he does, in fact, even lift bro, Improv shows why Trace Icon is a pretty good Matrix Action, and Horatio provides necessary tactical advice when company shows up.   It’s time to begin Episode 6, “Like Double Plus Good”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. This week’s Episode has the Team arriving at a decrepit apartment building that quite disturbingly sounds like a place I lived once. The collective linguistic skills of the Team are put to the test trying to get through a door, Kennel hasn’t quite realized he isn’t at the dog park and plays with a tennis ball, and Juliet shows the Barrens how she feels about legs.   It’s time to begin Episode 5, “The Like I Totally Live Here kind of grin”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. We left off last episode with the Team acquiring a new crash pad and planning some upgrades. In today’s episode, Improv displays her unmatched ability to search the Matrix, Juliet provides some sage advice about the benefits of a Fixer, and Horatio tells the rest of the Team about a small job RedHot needs done. Certainly when the Crimson Crush ask you to provide an escort, you know, just in case, absolutely nothing will go poorly.    It’s time to begin Episode 4, “Orichalcum-plated Machine Pistols”

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. Now that we’ve made it into the Granite Top bar we get to talk to RedHot, Horatio’s childhood friend and full-patch member of the Crimson Crush. In exchange for some information about the attack on the gangs meeting in Sophocles the Team is granted safe haven in the form of RedHot’s personal crash pad. Every Team needs a fortress in the Barrens.   There is a fair amount of book keeping and side chatter on the last third of the episode. I've always enjoyed hearing what happens behind the scenes and I hope every one of you do, too. Without further delay:    It’s time to begin Episode Three, “We called it the Treehouse"

Enough Actual Play for now because Gator is back!   This episode will cover the r/RunnerHub news article ""Shiawase Atomics confirms theft of spent nuclear fuel rods" https://www.reddit.com/r/RunnerHub/comments/8z8i67/comment/e2gvemm Tennessee Hayride by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/

Hello and welcome back to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. In this week’s episode we learn what happens when Improv finds out how Game Master PickledPop handles “big bombs”, she also learns about Juliet’s feelings toward her by way of Taser. Horatio gets to show off his driving chops before taking us to see a friend and Kennel manages to equate everything to dog walking.    It’s time to begin Episode 2, “Like 72 Cops that Day”

Hello and welcome to Episode 1 of the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play. We’ve handled a lot of things behind the scenes through Play by Post so you’ll be jumping straight into the thick of it.    In this episode the Runners, all strangers to one another, have each been hired to provide a little muscle, a little back-up, to several of the small gangs in the Redmond Barrens during a meet. It seems the gang leaders need to hash out a few details but don’t quite trust the fellows across the table. Nothing ever goes wrong when you have a handful of small-time gangs together in the Barrens, right?    It’s time to begin Episode one, “Take that, Chicharron!"

From all of us here at the Fourt Estate Militia we are happy to announce the launch of a new Actual Play. My good friend PickledPops has taken the helm as GM and recruited quite the team of miscreants and designed a campaign beginning at the lowest of starting points: the Redmond Barrens.   AztechnologyPR is playing Improv, a human scavver trying to become a Decker and she doesn't care how many bombs she needs to use to make that happen.    MisterWorthington is playing Horatio, a young Ork banger with a golden AK trying to earn his way into the Crimson Crush.    TrainedAttackRabbit brings Juliet to the table, a mean fireplug of a Dwarf that is, perhaps, a little too eager to lay down Suppressing fire.    And then there is me, Saarlak, playing Kennel, a Troll from a broken home that wants nothing more than to establish his dog training business and avoid trouble with the Law. Honest.    All five of us have played together for quite a long time now so we'll try to keep the inside jokes to a minimum. Fair warning we will be using some House Rules to speed up play so if a ruling seems to go against the book it is probably intentional. Probably.    We hope you enjoy so without further ado, welcome to the Fourth Estate Militia Actual Play.

Chit-Chat / Catching Up NEW PATRONS - TJ Payne, Romain Pelisse BOBBY - We hit $100 on Patreon, Halloween, Blizzcon News / Stuff Join the Anarchy finale New Shadowcasters Network stream schedule for November. Q&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&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? Keep up the great work and best of luck with the shadowcaster's network.

For example, a PC could get incessant Matrix notices from their home of their cat knocking over and breaking things out of boredom when they're in the middle of a run. If so, in your opinion, how many cats would a crazy cat lady PC need to adequately represent each rank of the Dependents quality? Ocule - So with a group of new players, im the only one with shadowrun experience would you recommend starting them on anarchy or starting them on vanilla?
