Sixth World (PbtA) : neo-Tokyo

I've been running a Shadowrun 6e game with a regular group of players for the past couple of months, and while the game has progressed well, the 6e rules remain too fussy for effective PbP. We've decided to switch to the Sixth World revised ruleset, and because of the transition, I now have space for 1 or 2 more players.

The world setting is firmly in the Shadowrun universe, although familiarity with it is not a pre-requisite. We've completed a substantial Chapter 1, which has brought individual characters (with their own threads) from various parts of the world together, about to embark on a mission, assuming they learn to trust each other. All of them are gaijin in Japan, so that should make for some interesting storytelling.

If you're interested, drop a note here with an elevator pitch, and I'll see to sending you a link to browse the game thus far.

I didn't know this rule set existed but am very interested. While I read up and work on an idea, would it be possible to get a brief rundown of the PCs in the game? Looks like there are a lot of "class options" but overlap can be less fun.

When I did a headcount, I saw the following Archetype: Mage, Adept, The Rigger, and Adept

Ok...i think I want to pitch an Elf Street Doc. She used to work in the big corporate hospital, but was told she couldn't save someone she found literally outside the front door. Quit to get out from under them. Became an angle of mercy on the streets, something of a legend. First advancement will be the mobile surgery. She got it as a severance from the hospital but it got shot up during a gang war. The mechanic will have just finished repairs when she gets it.

This sounds really awesome! Is it the rules from swse.neocities.org? I could go for playing a Hacker or Street Sammy.

Glad to see your interest, Dreamblade and KaeJae! I've invited you both to the game so that you can browse the posts and story so far.

Dreamblade let's talk character concept over at the game chat.

KaeJae we found some differences in the neocities SRD and the pdf, so may I suggest you look for the Sixth World Revised rules? It should say version 26. We're using that for consistency.

I found version 32 available as a google doc....

KaeJae, v32 is a different author who added his take to the rules, so we're sticking to v26.
