About me
Who am I? I'm an old school GM looking for a game with new world mentality. I value storytelling and character growth as well as inclusion. Everyone at my table deserves to be there and feel the spotlight on their skin, I try to make sure everyone gets their 5 minutes of fame. I started roleplaying when I was young playing cops 'n robbers with a forcefield, until i discovered Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition (as a GM) and then Werewolf the Apocalypse (as a storyteller) and my mind was finally broken when I found a copy of Streetfighter the Storytelling game. I try to embody all the lessons I've learned from past games in my next game. Help me tell the best story ever.

Creating your character
Premade characters will be used. I've crafted these characters specifically for the situation to be able to survive and show off the various rules that Shadowrun 5 has to offer.

What GMJames brings to the table
gameplay rotates between tactile battle and dynamic social interplay with a strong pull on the rule of cool. Harsh reality with death defying acts of hope and defiance in the face of the man. Monte Cooks RPG Consent Checklist will be made available via a link in Discord
