Burning Edge

A bit of downtime between runs as Catherine and Deuce get settled into their new suburban life. Their house is slowly starting to feel like a home, and if they ever get to retire from shadowrunning, might be a place they can see themselves living into old age. Sure, it’s missing the white picket fence and the swing set out back, but it’s homey and has a shooting range in the basement. What else can you really ask for?

The team managed to pull off a few successful runs along with all of the carnage of their less-successful jobs. With those successes they’ve built up some breathing room and started to look at more permanent places to stay. Since Catherine and Deuce wouldn’t let Jean-Baptiste stay with them, he sets out to find a place to call his own. I think we all can guess his idea of the perfect bachelor pad doesn’t involve flowers and a white picket fence out front…

After semi-successfully doing a few jobs and receiving a somewhat sizable paycheck, the team started discussing their current situation at their safehouse, and realized as close as they’ve become as a team, they might be too close. As you might expect, simply asking a teammate to come along for moral and negotiating support turns into an argument…

A short announcement about the remainder of season one, as well as upcoming season two!

After touching on religion, sports, Star Wars (which … I guess is actually a religion) Deuce, Omni, and Jeff talk about surged metahumans. With all the crazy things in the sixth world, The Surged are truly the freaks.

As we tend to do when missing one or more players, we pivot to a discussion podcast about the sixth world instead of playing in the sixth world. Obviously, based on the subject matter we’re covering today, you can expect some profanity since we’re talking about profanity. If you’re easily offended or have young ears within earshot, you may want to skip this one. Or not, I’m not going to tell you what to do, but you’ve been warned. Listener discretion is advised.

With some of the cast otherwise occupied, Jupiter, Omni, and Jeff try to talk about Grid Guide, but somehow end up talking about sports in the sixth world. Everything else gets amped up to 11 in the dystopian future, why wouldn’t sports? Recorded 2020-11-19.

A couple of videos that we talk about:

Some of the crew gets together to talk about casinos and how gambling might work in the sixth world. Would magic and the matrix work with a casino?

Most of the crew sits down to talk about Farming in the Sixth World.

What would a team of Shadowrunners think of 1999’s The Matrix? One of the cast of Burning Edge had never seen the movie, so we decided to all watch it together, then talk about it in character.
