About the adventure
The job was supposed to be routine. Data extraction from a mid-level corp subsidiary—the kind of run you've done a dozen times before. But the moment your team breached the server room, everything went sideways. The security response was overwhelming, coordinated, and way too prepared for what should have been a nobody target. Now you're holed up in a condemned building in the Barrens with Lone Star closing in, your decker's bleeding out, and your commlinks are screaming with conflicting evac options from fixers you've never fully trusted. You've got minutes to make choices that'll define whether you survive the night—and if you do, whether you're walking away from this mess or digging into why a simple datasteal just painted the biggest target of your career on your back. This is where the campaign begins. You and a handful of other runners, some you know, some you don't, barely escape with your lives. You've been crossing paths with these same shadowrunners for weeks now, working different jobs for different fixers. The datasteal wasn't random. Someone wanted your crew in that building. The question is whether they wanted you to succeed, or die trying.

About me
I’ve been roleplaying for nearly 20 years and DMing for 6+, with 10+ full campaigns brought to completion — including a 5‑year epic. I started in play‑by‑post forums and IRC games, where I fell in love with slow-burn, character-driven storytelling and collaborative worldbuilding. Today, I run focused, story-forward games built around one principle: Your choices matter. My tables are intentionally small (4–6 players) to keep the experience personal, immersive, and reactive. I don’t run chaotic drop-in games — I run campaigns designed to last. 🎲 What You Can Expect Immersive, Reactive Worlds A setting that evolves with your decisions — not a railroad, not a sandbox without direction, but a living story shaped by you. Dynamic NPCs Distinct voices, motivations, and relationships that develop over time. Characters remember you. Professional Infrastructure Roll20 Plus, custom maps, curated NPC tokens, ambient music, and organized campaign materials. Consistent Follow-Through Session summaries included. Optional audio highlights or recordings available. No ghosting. No favoritism. No half-finished arcs. Rule of Cool — Structured Cinematic moments are encouraged — within a framework that keeps the game balanced and meaningful. 💡 Why I DM I’m inspired by fantasy fiction, culture, science, and the way collaborative storytelling brings strangers together. The best campaigns aren’t about perfect mechanics — they’re about the moment when a table goes silent because something real just happened in the story. That’s what I build toward. If you're looking for a reliable, engaging, human DM — someone who treats your time and character investment seriously — I’d love to have you at my table.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen over Discord and Roll20 after Session 0. Everyone will have a chance to talk about their character concepts, ask questions about gameplay and game lore, and go over campaign expectations. I prioritize making sure the party will mesh together conceptually and be able to cooperate in play.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Come in with a strong character concept (or a bunch!) you are excited about, and be ready to collaborate creatively! We allow digital or real-life dice rolling, and webcams are optional. You will need the program Discord, to possess a working microphone with good-great quality, and the ability to use press-to-talk or mute on command.

How Tony creates a safe table
Creating a Safe and Engaging Experience As your GM, I prioritize storytelling and the "rule of cool" - if an action is cinematic and epic, I'll likely allow it, focusing on narrative over strict rule adherence when it enhances our collective experience. Safety Tools & Inclusivity We'll use the X-Card system during play for immediate content pauses Session Zero will establish specific content boundaries and safety tools All players deserve respect, regardless of background or identity. Anyone who thinks otherwise will not be invited back to my table. Unacceptable Behaviors (Zero Tolerance) Discriminatory remarks or behavior toward other players "Murder hobo" approaches that derail the collaborative story Meta-gaming that undermines the immersive experience Deliberately offensive or excessive vulgarity Any behavior that makes other players uncomfortable will lead to a warning, and then ejection if behavior continues. Content Rating & Boundaries Games aim for a PG-13 baseline with some mature themes included During Session Zero, we'll establish specific content "veils" (topics handled off-screen) and "lines" (content never included) I'm committed to maintaining these boundaries throughout our campaign, and ask all my players to do the same. My Commitment as GM I will facilitate fair rule adjudication while prioritizing engaging storytelling over rules lawyering I will mediate any conflicts that arise at the table promptly and respectfully I will uphold our agreed-upon safety tools and content boundaries consistently
