Hard Knocks Sorority
by Paullan McDarrin
Welcome to the Hard Knocks Sorority PodCast, a Shadowrun 4th Edition Actual Play Podcast. My name is Paul, and I am your host and GM. Get in touch with us on our Discord server https://discord.gg/2rg6yyHeHF . The Player Characters are given voice and agency by Veronika playing Cecile, Aka "College Girl" a literal college girl who finds herself abruptly entangled with the 6th world's shadows. Elizabeth playing Grace aka "Nightingale" a literal pony on a quixotic self-imposed research expedition to the 6th World. Valerie playing Ali aka "Boxer", ex-merc and literal Cat woman who now plys the shadows in search of redemption. And finally Kat playing "Diendre" an elven ex-cop who is in search of her brother in Seattle and is literally prettier than an elf has any right to be. Follow along as we muddle our way through the Shadowrun 4th Edition rules. We would love to hear from you on Discord. Intro and Outro (?) music by Tracemineral.
