Shadowrun :: BIOS Boot

In the flurry that is post-Gencon everyone is scrambling to play their new goodness. I've had a chance to play quite a few new things, but one which has been on the list is Shadowrun. It's a mash-up of a futuristic technology-centric world mixed with dwarves, elves, trolls, etc.

I'm excited to give a try as I've always been intrigued with technology and its potential. I'm going to put together a little back story, and if I'm up to it try and stick with updating the progress (if/when) once we get underway.

Here is my quick bit of info introducing my character...

Character Name: Consigliere Gaetano "Tommy-Troll-Finger Brown" Brown

Character Type: Enforcer and Drug pusher, wakes up in Seattle uncertain how he arrived. Has flash-backs of baseball bats, and not because he just watched a game a baseball.

Special Skills: Can handle any situation that requires persuasion, not necessarily because of his ability to speak well, but mostly because he is a big troll.

Favorite Food: Timpano (an Italian recipe calling for layers of prosciutto, pasta, meatballs, cheese, bechamel, served in a big drum pot)
