Shadowrun: Origins

The team has received a call from a familiar source, and are headed to Matchsticks to meet not only to hear the job, but also to meet their new companion, Rocket.

Another downtime with the crew (or what's left of them). And with this episode, I'm happy to reintroduce Steven "bull" Ratcovich, who has been a guest GM with us before, but is now joining the crew as a member – an elven face who goes by the name Rocket.

With just a little help, the team has finally broken free and are now poised to make an attempt to escape from their captors who had previously kidnapped, beaten torturned and nearly killed them. They are hurt, pissed, and are in desperate need of… well, lots of things. But let's see how, or if, they manage to get their freedom… This one may require tissues. FYI.

The team has been kidnapped, drugged, and tortured… But they may have found an unlikely ally in a child-like troll they've befriended. Well, maybe befriend ded is a strong word, but they are still locked up by someone who isn't happy with them or their previous runs. Let's see how things travel downhill from here.

The team has been kidnapped, drugged, and imprisoned… oh, an tortured. But I'm sure whoever did it had a good reason. Right? Like, torture can sometimes be an effective tool for interrogation, am I right? Wait… this just in… nope. Torture is always a dick move, Charlie…. Let's see how the team uses their emotional tools to discuss their discomfort.

An off-beat detour, exploring even further into the past of the Sixth World (2048), through the eyes of teenagers and the game system of Misspent Youth. Ignore the fact that we said James (Jazz) returns. That doesn't mean anything.

The meet turned into an ambush, which the runners fled, straight into another trap. They were gassed and all succumbed to unconsciousness. Now, as they begin to wake up, we'll see who or what is behind all this mess.

The meet didn't go as expected and now the crew has to pivot. They are on the run from a fully formed ambush, and have decided to call the contact they were supposed to check in with after the run to perhaps get some clarity. While avoiding helicopters, bullets, and magic threats. Also, Jazz has been wounded.

It is Time for some downtime. That magical time between runs where anything can, and often does, happen. Let's see what the teams is getting up to after the Loves run and the failed attempt to rescue T.
