May Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream

Hello, May!  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the Fourth of May (yes, Star Wars day, I might try and theme it, we will see).  We usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are very welcome.

April saw some Shadowrunning with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s where the characters got to extract a corporate couple during the Yuri’s Night celebration at the Museum of Flight, that was fun.   Songs in the Key of X moved forward, a little, with the presentation of a chance to extract someone who knows where Dr Shipson’s skeletons are buried.   Also, Shadowrunners stole music and hardcopy backups in a run that almost went very wrong.   The Savanna-based subset of our Shadowrun campaigns, one of the few chances I get to play, is on hiatus after this month’s game which makes me sad as I really like my character there (“DJ Hazy is in the house!“)

Closing in on issue 100!  Get you copy of the latest Seattle Scream (#97)!

April Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#96)

Here it is, Spring already, the year is really zipping by.  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the Sixth of April, we usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are very welcome.

March was not to bad for Shadowrun with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s where the characters ventured into Glow City and completed their mission by helping out the local community to gain access to the location their needed.   An online game had the characters break into a chemical plant to find out is someone was mixing up something that they should not have.  Unfortunately, I did not get to play any Shadowrun in March but April is looking more positive on that front.

Hopefully, I will find some time to catch up on the recent releases for Shadowrun as well, I have quite fallen behind and there is some really cool new books out.

How about some new news?   Take a look at the latest Seattle Scream (#96)!

March Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#95)

2024 keeps rolling along.  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the Second of March (tomorrow from when I am posting this!); we usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are very welcome.

February saw some Shadowrun play with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s which used the Redmond Action Movie Festival (RAMF) as a backdrop and was great fun.   Also CHed a short online adventure inspired by some fantasy I am reading.  Played in a NorCal and Savanna adventures, the Savanna game was essentially a noir mystery which was fun and interesting but, as played, a slight genre mismatch.

If you need some inspiration, check out my latest Dark Future Ahead – News from the ‘net of a Cyberpunk Bent.

Now for the latest news from the Seattle Metroplex and beyond in the Seattle Scream (#95)!

February Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#94)

Hope the New Year has been treating you all well!  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the third of February; we usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are welcome.

January saw some Shadowrun play with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s and playing in a NorCal game which was super amusing and my character got to use some spells and magic abilities that she had never used before in-game.

I did a character write-up for Sparrow, who has shown up in a recent game and has been on my mind (but never played) for ages.

Now for the latest news from the Seattle Metroplex and beyond in the Seattle Scream (#94)!   I may hit issue One Hundred by the end of the year!

Into 2081 Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#93)

Welcome to 2081!  (When out of an adventure, the time moves along with the year, New Year here, New Year in the campaign.)  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the sixth of January; we usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are welcome.

December was not a bad month for Shadowrun play, surprisingly, with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s and played in a Savanna (Georiga, CAS) game where I got to play DJ Hazy again, sadly no new parties.  I may post a short fiction piece with Hazy sometime soon.

Now for the latest news from the Seattle Metroplex and beyond in the Seattle Scream (#93)!  Nothing particularly past adventure-related but putting my own spin on the Ares / Detroit fiasco from canon.

 

Superheroes – Once upon a Time in 1969 – Issue 18 – Hometown Heroes

Opening page: A tear-stained young woman in a TWA stewardess’ uniform framed by an open doorway saying, “Roboto, you have to help me.  You are my only hope!”

Late ’23 Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#92)

It is still November, just. as the year draws to a close.  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the 2nd of December; we usually play every first Saturday and if you are in the area come and join in, new players are welcome.

October/November was an above-average month for Shadowrun play, with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s, a couple of online games including a Halloween one-shot, where the players played high school students trapped in the barrens, and got to play in two NorCal sessions (with another scheduled for tomorrow).  So, relatively active overall.  December, hover, is likely to be quiet after the live game because holidays.

Now for the latest news from the Seattle Metroplex and beyond in the Seattle Scream (#92)!   The article involving California Dreaming Productivity ties in with several adventures that went down at the Metroplex Marketplace Meetup earlier in the year.

October ’23 Shadowrun Campaign News and a new Seattle Scream Prop (#91)

Welcome to October!  The next live game at Tyche’s Games will be on the 6th of October (usually every first Saturday, if you are in the area come and play, new players welcome) so come and join us if you can.

September was an average month for Shadowrun play, with me CHing the live game at Tyche’s, wrapping up Track 3 of the Songs in the Key of X campaign (song: Saved by Zero), and one online mission.  While I got to play DJ Hazy in one mission.

Now for the latest news from the Seattle Metroplex and beyond in the Seattle Scream (#91)!   Nothing that directly ties in with the last few adventures but possibly some setup for future ones.
