This is still a half-baked idear, but I am ready to toss it into the oven and hope it is edible.

✅ The Pitch: I have an idea of playing a game in the early Shadowrun years, like right now in 2021, April 30: Without warning, ten percent of the world's population suddenly mutates. The process then occurs in in utero children. The media calls this transformation "Goblinization."

There had to be a major paradigm shift in society as magic was starting to bleed into the world again.

So a lot is going on, there will be those to investigate this new strange phenomenon. There will be those who will try to exploit it for personal gain. There will be fear and hatred. There will be bursts of wild magic.

A lot is going on, and it could be an interesting setting to play in.
BUT, what stories should we try to tell in such a setting? What do you think?

Journalists chasing the rise of odd and paranomal events?
CDC/WHO medical team reacting to the goblinization crisis?
Goverment agents who try to keep a lid on the event?
Life in a high school? "Did you see? Becky grew tusks. They kinda suit her, though ❤" (this is idea have grown on me)

These are just some of the ideas that I have heard when I have discussed this idea.
But let one thing be clear: I don't have a ready adventure, just a desire to explore this era of Shadowrun mythology with you
✅ Adult Content or Controversial Themes. Only if we want to, and if so, there will be nothing explicit and we will have discussed it beforehand

✅ Game system I what to get some more experience with FATE Core and I got reference material for those without access to the book.

✅Post Frequency. 5 posts pr week. I'm active on the weekends, but don't expect my players to be.

✅Game Duration. As long as we think it is fun and interesting. This is a game system that I am not super familiar with, and an adventure that we haven't defined yet.

✅ Expectations to the Player: This is going to be a story that we tell together, your contribution will drive this story, so you have to be active.

✅ How to Apply. Write here or send me a PM if you want to be a part of this experiment.

In general, I don't play FATE, but I really like this idea. I would really like to play a teen who transforms into an elf overnight.

I'd be a new player to the system, but I'd definitely love to explore this idea.

The setting and idea sounds really interesting. Like Squardfather44, I have no experience with the game system but have the core rule book in my pdf library, so it would be a good opportunity to get to read it.

I've been stalking and bugging you for this idea.

I'm not sure about what aspect of Goblinization to explore. What appealed to me was Goblinization itself as an event.

I wanted to ask you about the "magic resurfacing" aspect; will it be something that available for the characters or they'll be faced with magic making an appearance in the world?

I'm inexperienced with FATE Core, but I think I can manage. (If you think you have enough patience 😅)

Lurking for details as interested.

Not pitching my hat in (not a Shadowrun guy and plate is pretty full), but I'd be happy to look in and provide some Fate advice if the group needs it. Have run and played a lot of Fate over the years. Just let me know.

Been wanting to get into a FATE game for some time - have never tried it. Will the forums for this be public? Love to follow along.
