Welcome to Bug City Blues - a Shadowrun Sixth-World Edition Actual Play Podcast.

We have Clinton as River Bear.
We have Alex as Pancetta.
We have Nathan as Lockdown.
We have Nikole as Moira.
We have Chris as Lester Moore.
And I am Connor - I'll be running the show this time around.

This episode is meant to serve as an introduction to the Shadowrun universe.  We discuss briefly who we will be playing, what the setting of the game will be, and then take a deep dive into finding out what we've missed in the almost 40 years of content made between the creation of the game and the start of our project.  We simply don't have enough time to get into everything (sorry, Halley's comet aficionados) but this episode should serve to prepare you for the wild, futuristic dystopia of 2080's Chicago.  We only get into the weeds once or twice about The A Team and what devices should sing to you in the future!  Please stay tuned for more updates - the show is currently in pre-production and looking to begin releasing around Q3 2023.  Eager to share your thoughts?  Did we get something wrong?  Just want to join the conversation?  Join our discord below to become a part of our growing community!

THIS WEEK:
Avaxiel, The Most High Ceoptra, and whatever tricks they may have hiding up their sleeves is all that stands between our heroes and the ultimate fight for the fate of Golarion.  Blades will clash, spells will splash, and armor classes will be conveniently misinterpereted as the Warriors of Light scramble to defeat these two fierce foes.  Will our heroes be able to fell these fiends, or have they finally met their match?
Aristotle throws some spells away.  Hugo has to finish the job.  Reetin breaks the bat.  Vrasken does a spin.  Clinton cheats some more, makes the editor all upset.

THIS WEEK:
The Most High Ceoptra and her cohorts stand between our heroes and the ultimate fight.  But beings other than the forces of the Runelord of Greed have unsettled business with the Warriors of Light.  Can our heroes thin down their numbers before becoming overwhelmed?  Tune in to find out now!
Aristotle is messing around.  Hugo looks for protection.  Reetin bursts through the wall.  Vrasken is terrifying.

THIS WEEK:
The diligent job of checking all the doors comes to a screeching halt when a furious force from beyond gets the jump on our heroes.  And then everything goes off script from there.
Aristotle is in danger.  Hugo smites.  Reetin's a magic.  Vrasken hogs all the stoneskin.  Clinton is feeling the pressure.

THIS WEEK:
The Warriors of Light backtrack to the next wing of the Pinnacle of Avarice.  The Eastern chambers of the tower contain many small cells that reek of Giant. But what other dangers may lurk in the darkness between our heroes and the king of the castle?  What lies in store for our heroes as they delve deeper still?  Tune in now to find out! 
Aristotle takes a stab at it.  Hugo thinks walking is for chumps.  Reetin can't see anything.  Vrasken puts in the effort.

THIS WEEK:
The Warriors of Light reconcile with their ever shifting alignment in their own personal ways before proceeding ever deeper into the tower of Karzoug before meeting a strange, heavy door covered in slithering serpentine runes.
Aristotle is high.  Hugo has seen this before.  Reetin gets mad.  Vrasken is depressed.
