Shadowrun Returns is looking for some characters for runners to hire in their new game. Now wouldn’t it be cool if one of your characters got into the game, heck yeah it would chummers. They are letting us sumbit ideas here at:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16yp_kKH7kKVTwmU4CVGvgbcz50CSJtRV7y-4lcrXFpE/viewform

Already submitted two ideas and thinking of adding others. Good luck to everyone and hope that one of our runners is in the game.

Awesome!  I submitted my troll Tanq, whose martial arts make him dangerous even when he’s been disarmed, and who’s big enough players can use him as partial cover!

Also, my first Shadowrun character “Key.”  He was a human wageslave turned decker to support his gaming habit.  He’s so lost in all of the FPS’s, MMOs, and racing games, that he can’t tell when he’s playing a video game and when he’s on a mission.

Meanwhile at the #Shadowrun #LARP! Not really, found this on #hot #tattooed #girl on #DeadChicksAreCool Facebook page.

That is a great tattoo and completely in the Shadowrun vein.

So I’m getting to actually PLAY in a campaign, instead of just GMing my Star Wars d20 game.  For those of you unfamiliar with the world of “Earthdawn,” here’s a fairly accurate representation.  It’s not quite as bad as “Call of Cthulhu.”  It’s maybe just one small notch above “Shadowrun” on the “If you enjoy this game you’re a masochist” skill.

Hey, guys!  So, we’re all familiar with Cyberpunk and Steampunk, but there are so many more alternate histories/speculative science fiction genres out there!  I came across this handy-dandy infographic and figured I could share a bit of these punk genres for anyone interested.

• Steampunk
  Roughly covers the Western world during the mid- to late-19th century (ie:  Victorian era, US wild west, etc.), and sometimes up to the Edwardian era.
• Dieselpunk
  1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.
• Decopunk
  A cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)
• Clockpunk
  Covers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)
• Atompunk
  Cold War era, ie: the Space Race
• Teslapunk
  Derivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.
• Splatterpunk
  Explicit horror and gore
• Biopunk
  Biotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)
• Nanopunk
  Nanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with Biopunk
• Cyberpunk
  The granddaddy of them all:  computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc. 

Others not included in the infographic

• Elfpunk
  Fantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.
• Mythpunk
  Mythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.
• Seapunk?
• Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, Plaguepunk

Okay, uh, TW for graphic descriptions of rape in the Splatterpunk explanation link (specifically as examples of ~look how edgy and without boundaries this subgenre is~), but I think all the other links should be safe.

neat!

I’m not that into Steampunk, but Biopunk sounds interesting and have already thought of a cosplay I could do with it. :)

This is great resource for all kinds of “punk” settings.

All of these are terrible. 

No, all of these are awesome.

Except Splatterpunk.  That’s just not okay.

Also, I get a bit tired of steampunk and cyberpunk getting smushed in with “fantasy” elements.  I really wish there were more strictly historical (or scifi-focused) works, rather than smushing in dwarves and wizards into everything.

(That being said, I do like Shadowrun & Castle Falkenstein.  I just wish there were more popular strictly Cyber/Steam-punk.)
