Hey all,

I recently found all my old 2nd edition Shadowrun books. Core rulebook, street samurai catalogue, Seattle sourcebook with a couple adventure books (Harlequin is back and one stage before).

I was thinking about introducing my 13 year old son to the world with one of his roleplaying friends. Do you think 13 is old enough to understand the rules and concepts?

And, which dice do I need? I can't remember for the life of me what it uses, lol.

I really hope he enjoys it and then I can introduce him to a world of darkness!

Are there any Sixth World-specific cultural diasporas? I've been thinking about this for a little while. Between the environmental devastation, corporate control and politics, I've been assuming there's a lot.

I know that there's Irish and Mexican diasporas thanks to Tír Nan nOg and Aztechnology taking over, have any others been mentioned?

Hello I'm building my first rigger in 4eA, we are playing in a 3 persons group due to our Face player taking a break.

I 'd like to try a Face/Rigger/Sam in the interim. So I figured, hey why not asking r/Shadowrun ?

We take turn DMing but our team comp is :

• Shaman with support animals, doing ok with spirits and spell slinging, will be the Face when not GMing
• Close Combat Mage with debuff spells / utility spells
• Infiltrator Hacker.
• My usual character is the tanky Street Sam into heavy weapons.

So here it is I'm trying to build a Rigger & Face that can take fight with a pseudo Tachikoma.
We are a 404 PC + 70 karma & 70nuyens roughly.

Concept is to have the lynx not armed and She would be riding it as a delivery ridder. She could equip the turret when things go down with her being a correct shoot and the Lynx dishing long burst fire.

I would appreciate any feedback if I'm missing anything big or did glaring mistakes :)

Character sheet below in text mode, Maybe I should print screen it from chummer instead ?
