Shadowrun : Into the Breach
Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
Our setting thus far;
Seattle, UCAS
In December 2057…
Dunklezahn has been assassinated. The country is in mourning and has been poring over the old wyrm’s will. In the confusion, an ancient evil gathered enough strength to trick someone into coming to it’s prison, a small stone cottage constructed like a cairn in Everett. It sprouted up there in a mana spike, though it’s many many centuries older than even the first recorded humans in the area…

About Us:
Our group has been playing for about 3 years now off and on. I got an idea for an epic scale, grandiose sort of campaign that included bits and pieces of all the stuff I liked about Shadowrun. Large battles, espionage, legwork, clever player plans, etc. I plan on keeping some key canon events as well to keep the story grounded. I also happen to be lucky enough to have a co-GM who will help me with some scripted events, run a couple of rival factions alongside the PCs, and help to coordinate some of the more ambitious plans I have.
This is all done under Second Edition, with a smattering of houserules and borrowed bits from 1st and 3rd editions.
You can go ahead and jump to the Wiki now, or continue reading for all that legal mumbo jumbo and deserved thanks.

New Adventure log, Karma awards up, same ol.
I wish you guys could move faster, I haven’t altered Shadowland since you guys went underground because of the lack of reception. Now people are looking at those pages because we got featured and I feel weird… :-\No girls allowed!!! :P
This Campaign needs more girls, toss me that invite Jim :)
ahh ditto to my brother Crusher’s comment. an excellent RP with a lot of fluff. about time SR got some limelight.
Congrats on being worm of the month Jim! Good to see a shadowrun campaign make the list.
Hey, just saw you guys got elected Campaign of The Month! Congrats though it was only a question of time considering the kick-a** job you did on your campaign page. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on it. Keep it up and best of wishes.
Congratulations. An honor well deserved.
Congratulations Jim, your site is a real inspiration man!
Congrats on the July Featured Campaign – keep up the good work!
Hi Jim! Your Google Translation wasn’t that bad, but i would recommend, that you should try to translate on your own (It’s better for training a foreign language anyway). I translated German in Turkish with the Google Translater Tool and it was horrible; Google still can’t catch the human mind (and that’s well in this way). If you can’t understand something, what our group is writing/ or discussing in our campaign, don’t hesitate to send your questions to me (private message or else). As soon as it is possible to me, i will answer your requests. If you want to use our fluff in your own campaign, we encourage you to use all the content, that’s interesting in your opinion (Some of the Links I have posted in our Wiki are also available in English [at least the last time i checked]). I hope i was able to draw the information, you wanted to submit to us, out of your writing and I hope my English is acceptable! :D
Fixed the Adventure log, put up Karma awards, shagged your mothers. Good day.
Movin up in the world aren’t ya =D
Whoo hoo!
Just saw you on the mini-featured campaign!
Let me guess … falling rocks? =D
Game will be off next week too, as Jeff and Cathy are going to Cancun. Jeff will of course be punished in game for not bringing us with him.
Definitely the right atmosphere in that one.
Thanks for stoppin’ by!
I don’t know a damn thing about Shadowrun, except for that Nintendo RPG I played in the 90s. But the layout here freakin’ blows me away. Great site, man.
All, good sir. Have fun with the game looks like a blast.
There’s a major catch holyjoe, we’re a local only game. As in, we all know each other personally, and play at a member’s house. I’d love to have a new player or two, but it might hard to find people that our entire group meshes with.
Back to MainIf you guys are looking for more players I’d love to give this a shot.
I agree with Gaaran,that is one slick wiki page you’ve got there Jim! I especially liked the Dossiers, quite innovative.
Cheers,Arsheesh
Thank you gentlemen!
Your page here is pretty slick. My GM does 360 style achievements as well, I actually think they’re pretty cool. Good way to go over the events of the run and see what the GM is looking for in terms of rewards
Wow, very nice :)
This is very true.
Thought it would be good to have those checkpoint style achievements. Also, all three of them are 360 players and potential achievement whores.
Dude when did this become a xbox game?
Your Wiki is fantastic! That is all.
Thanks! It will ever be a work in progress, but I like it so far.
I’m loving the dark cybernetic look of your site Jim.
Cheers, -Arsheesh
Oh, god it hurts… Jim, why did you link that?! WHY?!
We will never, ever, be this bad. Zomg Nerds.
I cannot do it in color and make it animate. I am not that good yet, still learning how to use GIMP.
Very nice I like it a lot, only change I would suggest would be to put the logo in color if possible, make it pop a little more (god that sounds so gay)
Lots more. Updated a bunch of the graphics, added a Stuffer Shack, lottery, updated some of the channels stuff, and made the wiki a bit more uniform in presentation. Hope you guys like it.
And done again. Thanks to this wonderful community, (Specifically Chainsaw in this instance) the TV fluff now works kind of how I want it to. A few more things here and there but he took my idea and made it reality. It works quite well might I add.
Done.
Oi, Jim. The news headline needs a better background. I had to highlight the whole bit just so I could read it.
We just work in the campaign stuff. You have to accept the invite then you can edit the wiki.
Okay I finally signed up so now what?
Nah, you guys will definitely need to be working as a team.
We don’t get the forum unless I get the premium account. Shouldn’t need it though.
Shall I keep those bits to myself then?
You already got way more of it than I wanted you to this early.
You magnificent bastard. That poem is an infuriatingly clever piece of work. May you burn in a fiery pit for the frustration that shall be born of trying to decipher the damn thing!
