LexTenebris<p>January 1st already? But that can only mean one thing. It's Character Creation Challenge 2025, Day 1! That means it's time for Runners in the Shadows! Everyone needs a Shadowrun replacement, and this one is yours.</p><p><a href="https://grimtokens.garden/Articles/Character+Creation+Challenge+2025+-+Day+01+-+Runners+in+the+Shadows+-+Orvan+Nal%2C+Rigger" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">grimtokens.garden/Articles/Cha</span><span class="invisible">racter+Creation+Challenge+2025+-+Day+01+-+Runners+in+the+Shadows+-+Orvan+Nal%2C+Rigger</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CharacterCreationChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacterCreationChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RunnersInTheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunnersInTheShadows</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Shadowrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shadowrun</span></a></p>
LexTenebris<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://literatur.social/@nisjasper" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nisjasper</span></a></span> There is, of course, Runners in the Shadows (<a href="https://markcleveland.itch.io/runners-in-the-shadows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">markcleveland.itch.io/runners-</span><span class="invisible">in-the-shadows</span></a>), which is a Forged in the Dark pseudo-Shadowrun run which very much might scratch your itch for something better than the Shadowrun mechanics themselves if you're familiar with Blades in the Dark and how it plays, but more importantly, how it's structured. It works extremely well for cyberpunk stories which include fantasy and magic elements along the way. </p><p>I'd almost feel perfectly comfortable putting this forward as the best suggestion for exactly what you want (except that I'm more likely to be playing Wushu than almost any other GM-full RPG at this point).</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FitD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RunnersInTheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunnersInTheShadows</span></a></p>

I was playing Necromunda with some kids in the new school and they introduced me to that guy who wanted to start a game of Shadowrun. We ended up playing Star Wars instead. We're still friends, 30 years later, we still play, but we never played <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shadowrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shadowrun</span></a> .<br>Nowadays I would skip directly to <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/RunnersInTheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RunnersInTheShadows</span></a> - it's how shadowrun was meant to be played to begin with.</p>

Later, they learned that their new companion (pictured) is a dragon from 1,000 years in the past, and that the technology that makes their world possible is stolen through a mysterious portal over Mt.

Trystan Goetze 🎲👾<p>Today, my <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> group did their first run as <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/cyberpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cyberpunk</span></a> criminals in future Waterdeep. They were able to steal the paydata they were after (schematics for an ansible) and destroy the only existing prototype, all without drawing too much attention. But now the security of one of the most powerful megacorporations in Toril is on high alert—can they escape?</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/FitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FitD</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RunnersInTheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RunnersInTheShadows</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/dnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dnd</span></a></p>
STEPH INFECTION<p>had a kickass birthday yesterday, spent it at the local game store, got some cool stuff, and ran my first full game of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RunnersintheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RunnersintheShadows</span></a> ! It went pretty well, I was worried at first that I would be overwhelmed with some of the specificity in the game as well as the different style of playbooks and narration, but it was all very simple to execute and extremely intuitive!</p>
STEPH INFECTION<p>Almost finished reading through <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/RunnersInTheShadows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RunnersInTheShadows</span></a> and I&#39;m so very very stoked to run a game at some point. I think it has the best spell in it in all of gaming, which is certainly high praise, but just....look at it</p>
