Wanted to give a heads up to everyone, while this post may be a dead post, I’m still working on Deep Shadows.

I am very close to having the Character Creation completed for Deep Shadows. I would say it’s in the 90% range to being completed. The rough code is completed, and I’ve done some internal testing for various PCs. Fine tuning of the code, closing exploits and making it more book compatible are really the last 10%.

I need to get some mass data entry completed as most of the character creations testing was only done with a handful of items in the different categories.

The city grid is 90% dug out, just need some local attractions dug (bars, shops, etc), and descriptions though out.

We have dice to roll, and a basic character sheet recall.

Items and inventory probably need the most work.

We have a contact system, where players can make contact with shared NPCs, and working on personal contacts.

Ultimately I think the game is on the brink of being ready for mass testing and potentially even opening to the public.

I’ve started working on development for the first plot.

If you’re interested in helping and the have time, please reach out. If I can find someone who is a python guru with the time to spare I’m sure we can open in no time.

I’ve posted around the MUSH community so I’m sure this is going to be redundant to many.

However it has been awhile and I’ve never posted here. Figured I’ll give it a shot.

I have been trying to create, for a stupid amount of time, a Shadowrun 5th edition MUSH. Deep Shadows MUSH is built using Evennia.

However, I recently just had somewhat of a break on some of the programming method and it reinvigorated me. So I wanted to try and reach back out to the community looking for python Grurus with spare time.

If you’re interested in helping develop a Shadowrun 5th Edition MUSH, please reach out to me here.

Or people can connect at dsmush.com:4000 for telnet, and dsmush.com:4001/webclient for the built in webclient.

Making and running a game has been one of the most fun and rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life.

Gives me hope, thank you for sharing this.

@Jumpscare Thank you for clarifying. Again sorry for the miss understanding.

I should add to my post code review will be helpful with familiarity with Shadowrun knowledge as at this point it would ne to make sure the code is following the book rules.

As much as it pains me to say it, there are jerks in the community. Someone may end up going and stealing this domain if you haven’t purchased it. Probably want to edit it out.

If I ever meet this lady in person, I am going to punch her in the throat.

You do that and you may require a public defender…and with a shortage, wouldn’t that be your competitors?

@Jennkryst I’ll DM you, feel free to also page me on dsmush.com/webclient.

The reason I don’t do both full roster and my roster system…simply is time. I have enough time and patients to pick one priority at a time and that right now is to get the character creation done.

@Jumpscare Thank you for clarifying. Again sorry for the miss understanding.

Priority table I feel like offers more of a classless system that I really liked Shadowrun for. However, understanding that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea it was just going to be a starting point. Something that I haven’t look at is, is a person choosing lifestyle or karma based Character Creation end up with a character that is similar to those that the Priority Table ends up with.

But I’m just one person doing development really with a few really good advisors helping. So I had to pick a starting point and logically it was the priority table since as stated it before it’s likely the one most SR players know. Especially since the only really other MUs out there for SR use it.

@Jennkryst said in Deep Shadows MUSH:

rosters so people can grab pre-gennerated characters and run with them.

I have thrown around a roster like concept. It’s not so much that players will be ‘Mr. X’ who comes from the CAS and is a fixer.

More like here… here is an Ork Fixer template that you can change the name and basic information of and run with it how you like.

One of the items I’ve always wanted to conquer with Character Creation was to try and implement the different system SR has to offer.

However the priority table was going to be first as it is just more widely known.

If I can knock that out and finish it, other options can be explored.

@Jennkryst said in Deep Shadows MUSH:

we can go LIFEPATH!

To be honest, I don’t know if I’ve seen a Lifepath CC for 5th. Is it there and I’ve ignore it? … unintentionally of course.

@Jennkryst said in Deep Shadows MUSH:

Is this using the superior Karma Build, or the gross Priority system? Asking cause I’ll complain one way or the other.

No different then anyone else. If anything I’ve learnes building this MUSH everyone has an opinion.

It’ll follow the priority table. However, 5th gives the player a chunk of Karma to spend on certain improvements after the using the assigned points.

Numbers may be wrong but, IE. Standard game play you get 25 karma. You also get the typical attribute points to spend for the priority. Once you spend the attribute points you can go back and improve it with Karma.

That a simplistic view.

I personally don’t know if this is a black and white question. My head goes into numerous factors that would change the answer.

So just looking at how I’m aiming to setup my game, 30 to 45 players would be ideal. So I put 45 as a response.

However, I can see with some adjustments I can see it being higher or lower.
