Awright, Shadowrun 4th edition is out!  As a means of learning the new system, and also to try some of the material he wrote as a co-author for the California Free State sourcebook but which had to be omitted due to space considerations, Edmund has decided to run a mini-campaign set in the Humboldt Nation.

The Premise

You are being hired long-term by a specific organization as a troubleshooting team.  Because the team is, for various reasons, small, versatility and flexibility are considered extremely important.  The team is going to be expected to cover all the bases - interaction and HumInt, AR, combat, stealth, magic, astral threats, you name it.  Individuals on the team are being selected specifically for their ability to support a team work environment, not so much for individual skills.  An individual who could hack AR, knew first aid, and had some combat capability would be considered a more valuable hire than in andividual who could do only one of those things, even though the former would not be as good overall at any of those three fields as the latter would be in combat.
