i have yet to meet an rpg I don't like

[mimesere]

for many and various reasons, we have (apparently) abandoned our GURPS campaign (awesome system! highly recommended! especially if you like ridiculously overpowered characters) and have, instead, picked up Shadowrun 4th Ed as our current game.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG.

So, my character is basically half japanese, half persian, and what would happen if Parker from Leverage and Fiona from Burn Notice had a love child by way of Dexter Morgan (she's also ex military, cybered out the wazoo, and has inappropriately violent reactions to emotional stress since she doesn't know how to cope with squishy feelings in any other way but berserking). In two game sessions/three adventures, she's picked up 2 long knives, 2 swords, 2 heavy pistols, 1 shot gun, 1 submachine gun, 1 sniper rifle, 4 grenades, and killed like 6 people (antagonists), 18 zombies, headshot but did not kill another guy, and our group of three has blown up a hotel room (to the tune of 1.2 million nu-yen), burned down a bar, blown up 2 police cars, and stolen 3 cars from a used car lot.

I'm so entertained, I can't even tell you.

So, my characters to date:
Twi'lek space hooker!
Pseudo roman female cavalry officer!
Crazy street samurai!

(I always, always play female characters. Apparently I also have a tendency to want to play slightly damaged, highly pragmatic characters who like to dual wield weapons very very quickly.)

1. OMG Shadowrun! I've been wanting to play this for ages! Although for some reason I sort of want to play old-school Shadowrun more? Where the technology is all out of date and shit? This new Apple-y stuff I'm hearing about almost seems too powerful. Possibly I'm nuts.

2. I'm playing my first game of D&D 4ed (and essentially the first D&D game of my adult life) tomorrow. Eee!

W- Wait.

YOU LIKE FEMALE CHARACTERS WHO ARE SLIGHTLY DAMAGED AND HIGHLY PRAGMATIC WHO LIKE TO DUAL WIELD WEAPONS VERY VERY QUICKLY?

OMG. Why didn't you TELL me?

Our entire friendship has been a lie. :(

Ah, that brings back memories. I remember a Mage game where my players had a running gun and magic battle with Black Spirals and Nephandi in a crowded mall on a holiday weekend. Highlights included a car chase with those display cars you see in malls, and blue-flaming werewolves. Good times.

The body count was. . . high.

Most brilliant character EVER.
