A Shadowrun 5E Actual Play Podcast
A bit of downtime between runs as Catherine and Deuce get settled into their new suburban life. Their house is slowly starting to feel like a home, and if they ever get to retire from shadowrunning, might be a place they can see themselves living into old age. Sure, it’s missing the white picket fence and the swing set out back, but it’s homey and has a shooting range in the basement. What else can you really ask for?

The team managed to pull off a few successful runs along with all of the carnage of their less-successful jobs. With those successes they’ve built up some breathing room and started to look at more permanent places to stay. Since Catherine and Deuce wouldn’t let Jean-Baptiste stay with them, he sets out to find a place to call his own. I think we all can guess his idea of the perfect bachelor pad doesn’t involve flowers and a white picket fence out front…

After semi-successfully doing a few jobs and receiving a somewhat sizable paycheck, the team started discussing their current situation at their safehouse, and realized as close as they’ve become as a team, they might be too close. As you might expect, simply asking a teammate to come along for moral and negotiating support turns into an argument…

What would a team of Shadowrunners think of 1999’s The Matrix? One of the cast of Burning Edge had never seen the movie, so we decided to all watch it together, then talk about it in character.

The team managed to successfully plant a data chip on their target to ruin her new career as a politician while saving some food from a protest. Catherine had to be carried from the casino after she inexplicably passed out right before finishing the job. We now rejoin the team in their Americar, getting ready to leave the scene.

Slide is looking to ruin a local mayoral candidate that has been making his organization’s life hell as a local crime fighter, and tasked our team to plant incriminating evidence on her to make that happen. The target, Jeanine Magliano, is holding a campaign event on one of St. Louis’s iconic riverboat casinos. The team has infiltrated the riverboat, got a device planted to potentially mess with the electrical system, covertly transferred the datachip from one member of the team to another, and yeah, did a little bit of drinkin’ and gamblin’. We now rejoin Micah, who’s doing astral overwatch over the riverboat.
Our eagle-eared listeners might notice a continuity error. Feel free to bring it up in the Discord, and let Omni know you’re disappointed in him.

It’s still Monday, January 15th 2080. We continue the casino job to plant data on local political candidate Jeanine Magliano. The team has split up into three groups. Deuce and Catherine posed as employees and entered through the employee entrance. Jean-Baptiste and Thumper appear as a happy couple there for the drinkin’, the gamblin’, and the hobnobbin’ with the elite. Micah’s on astral overwatch and is probably a pack of cigarettes into her evening at this point.

The team gets another job from their mob boss wannabe fixer involving one of St. Louis’s iconic riverboat casinos. A local Knight Errant police chief Jeanine Magliano is gearing up for a mayoral run, and is having a campaign fundraiser. It’s a 5000 nuyen a plate black tie affair so I’m sure the team will fit right in. The job sounds simple enough, plant a datachip set to broadcast a theft notice when Jeanine leaves the casino so she can get publicly arrested by Lone Star. Instead of casino property, the officers will find a data chip containing highly compromising information on Mrs. Magliano. It’s Monday, January 15th, 2080. The team spent the weekend planning their daring casino heist and doing legwork. Time to find out if all of their planning was for naught as the team rolls up to Harrah’s Riverboat Casino.
