Information - Shadowrun

Henry is now running Shadowrun 4e.
Here are the guidelines that he emailed out for character generation.

Due to popular demand we will be starting the characters at a low build level.  Characters will be built to:


  • 240 build points, half of which can be spent on the base attributes (Edge, Magic and Resonance are not included)
  • Awakened characters cannot have more than 1 rank in magic / resonance
  • Characters cannot have any items that are restricted or forbidden, including implants, gear, vehicles etc.
  • All characters shall have a minimum of 2 contacts, each costing 4 build points
  • All characters will have the street lifestyle, that is you are essentially living hand to mouth
  • We will be using a simplified combat system to make the game run more smoothly.  Still working through the details but it will use the suggestions on page 75 of the book.


We will only be using the core rule book, however if you see a quality that would be appropriate for your back story, and can justify it I'll probably let you have it.  Since gear is restricted it probably won't be an issue anyway.

I don't mind if we spend the first night working through the character builds, however I would like to see a character back story and concept by the 16th Oct.  If everyone sends through a complete character sheet then we can get going from the start.  If you don't give me a back story, you will be rolling randomly to get one of the ones I have prepared.  I'm hoping that you forget to send them through to me, because I have had some very nasty character concepts I have wanted to try out
