Yeah, pity that Dio hasn’t shown up… oh well.

Guess we’ve been stood up. ☹

So what’re we going to do? If Dio is unavailable, does anyone know where we’d find another GM who’s interested in running a Shadowrun game?

I’d be willing, but I’m nowhere near able, in terms of internalizing the rules, dice rolls, etc. Someone upthread said they wanted to run a Paranoia game.

I wouldn’t expect to see **Diomedes** back in this thread, since he wouldn’t even acknowledge my presence on AIM last night. In fact, twice he logged on and I said hi, and then he disconnected a couple of minutes later without saying anything. Really disappointing.

Huh, weird. In any event, if we can’t find anyone who’s confident with Shadowrun I would be willing to run a modern-ish campaign using Black Hammer or another one of the D20 modern systems.

I don’t have access to any of the aforementioned systems, but I’m willing to give it a swing, I suppose.
