It's showtime! Our players get ready to see Infernus Erectus live on stage at The Hierophant Nightclub. But the real show for our gang of Shadowrunners lies somewhere deep within the bowels of the club - where a high-stakes gambling game is all that stands in the way between the runners and a nice payday.

The group breaks bread together with an old friend, where whispers of a new job opportunity are offered to our crew. What sort of new opportunities await our heroes? Turn in to find out now! River Bear signs up for a class. Lester Moore calls in a favor. Mo considers their transportation situation. Lockdown has a plan. Panchetta orders the vegan option.

The gang finishes their first job and heads their separate ways. The world reacts to their actions, and in turn they prepare how to best spend that well earned nuyen and karma. For most of them, this means crawling into bed as soon as possible! Interested to see what trouble our crew can get into next? Tune in to find out now!

The gang infiltrated the FastFlesh Slaughterhouse and found their paydirt guarded by a large, intimidating troll. Just when the crew goes to make their great escape, things go from quiet to loud. The gangers were none too thrilled to be on the receiving end of a robbing for once. Now, lead will fly and rubber will burn as our heroes try to make it out in one piece! Tune in now!

With Desmond safely secured in the back of the Goldleaf company car, our heroes reach out to their contacts and see who can provide some much needed emergency medical assistance. Can our team find the BTL trail before it goes cold? Will Pancetta be able to infiltrate unseen? Can River Bear come up with a plan that doesn't stink? Tune in to find out now!

In the midst of blaring alarms and a ticking timer, our intrepid heroes face a daunting challenge – grab the crucial data and skedaddle before the heat arrives. The rival gang lurking in the shadows is determined to thwart their mission, unleashing malicious lines of code, spectacular bursts of arcane magic, and some good ol' fashioned muscle. It's a showdown where survival hinges on skill, wit, and a dash to the restroom for poor Lester.

Welcome to your friendly neighborhood Stuffer Shack! These corner convenience stores found across Chicago metroplex and the rest of the UCAS. They operate 24-7, and sell food, clothing, and entertainment - all disposable. But this site holds more than just the latest flavors of Dragon Piss cola - a gang of ne'er-do-well's seem to be occupying the store. Our gang will test their ability to plan an attack, but will it survive contact?

In this, the pilot episode of Bug City Blues, our ragtag cast introduce their characters with which they'll forge a new -and hopefully lucrative- team of shadowrunners.

Hoi Chummer! So glad you could make it.
Just a quick note, this episode is specifically a little different than the rest.

So sit back and relax while we talk about the team, the world, and what we hope to see come from the project.
