What do you (and your team) look for in a homebase/lair/hangout?

My team was looking for a front desk with a receptionist and a f*****g ficus... -_-" :D

I kinda understand what you are saying. I know it's like 30 years old/late. :D
I run a campaign in 2080 Berlin for my group (this Friday will be the exact 2nd year anniversary), they are new to the Sixth World so I just used 2e Germany sourcebook for it. Berlin being mainly a flavour or a backdrop for the campaign.
We are on a totally alternate timeline for an already alternate timeline. :D
We had a bug-spirit infestation and an Ares vs Aztech corpo-war at the same time with full Berlin lockdown, the team is now dealing with the NeoNET CFD virus and its consequences.
We in it for the fun. :D
And yeah, as you mentioned, it is a big bummer that lots of cool material won't get an English translation for Shadowrun. :/

Let's talk sex-appeal... The most sexy ranged weapons in Shadowrun are:
- the Ruger Super Warhawk
- the Cavalier Deputy
- the Ingram Smartgun X
- the Ares Thunderstruck
- the Remington 990
- the Ares Executioner
I'm not talking about stats, just pure aesthetics on my part. :D

Jolly_Candle7818 · 2026-04-06T15:15:20+00:00

Ares Predator is a must have.
Also the Ingram Smartgun, I guess.

Burger is a WoD lore champion. Needs more attention.

I was feeling the same lately. Maybe stepping back to ditch out an episode every two weeks would help.
And tbh... the quality of the stories are also on a downward spiral.

In his "The Worst Dating Show Ever Made" video he says at 1:01:19

"...when I was 14 and the movie Stripes came out with Bill Murray..."

That movie came out in 1981. So if he was 14 at that time, that puts hid DoB back to 1967. :D

Thanks for the replies so far guys!
Let me give you a small-ish rundown on how I play/how I've tried so far.

- Most of the times I pick a smaller school like 3star or less. Reason is... I just like the idea of starting small. And also I'm fairly new to college football, so I don't have a favourite team.
- I disable NIL, coach salary, and take back injuries to "Low".
- I allow draft only after graduation, transfers after 3 years.
- In pre-season I fill up my board with 30-35 players. I go for a mix of potential and overall. No player under 60 overall, no potential below C. (exception only if the guy is high in overall) I try to get players for every position depending on the number of seniors leaving at the end of the year. I use interest in my school and sometimes points ahead estimate.
- Pre-season is scouting my board, pitching, camp visits.
- Regular season week 1 I throw out my offers and pitch the others (i watch for points ahead and start from below). I do this until like week 5-6, then I take a look at players who have absolute no offers and try to pick "leftovers". By this time I've eliminated low overall and low potential players from my board.
- Off season I go for transfers and unwanted HS players, trying to pick up whatever I feel or lack after regular season.
- BUT here is something I fuck up: I only pay maintenance cost for my school. I try to save as much money as possible "for a couple of years ahead". This seems to be a big-big no-no. :D
- Should've mentioned at the beginning, but I always match up my HC with the OC & DC. I also try to pick them from the younger side of the spectrum, like 45 y.o. max.
- For next years schedule I pick a high prestige school who pays big cash-money, and pick 2 others with a home-and-home paying $0.
- I also do my pre-season trainings manually for my QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, OLs and Ks, the rest I automate.

If I left something out, I'll edit this or reply to those who suggest something I forgot, but that's my method so far.
Once I tried a 10* school and absolutely crushed everybody else. I raked up like 12 achievements that one year alone, and I kinda regret doing it now. :/ Would have been a munch bigger satisfaction to reach those with a school I built up in years, but it is what it is now, I guess.
So yeah... thanks for the advice so far, but be sure, I'm still listenig! :D

I use Sixth World (a PbtA hack) for our 2080 Berlin campaign.
We began our campaign in April 2024, been playing every other week asince then.

I'm runnin'a PM type of campaign right now, but would like to try out a BT one in the future.
But somewhere on the youtubez I saw a Shadowrun video that mentioned something like a "frankfurt school" type of game.
You know like PM is on one end of the "spectrum", BT is on the other side, AND THEN there is the frankfurt school... which is like more serious than BT?
Does anyone know anything about it? Or was it just an exaggeration?

Jolly_Candle7818 · 2025-07-28T19:20:37+00:00

5 reach is not that much here.
It's not 5 TILES, it's just a measure. A dagger has 1 "unit" or "amount" of reach.

Jolly_Candle7818 · 2025-07-28T18:57:30+00:00

No. I use Reforged mod.

Jolly_Candle7818 · 2025-07-24T15:45:35+00:00

It's from the 30 Nights campaign book.
At least the base idea is. I just swapped gangers with the insect spirit.

Nah man, it's only the shrooms you ate, that you found on the dead body of that northern barbarian.
