Welp, no one said this adventure will end with rainbows. Welcome to Episode 12! The team makes a decision that will have major repercussions.

I'm also excited to share that I recently launched a new dream project that helps me spend more quality time with the wife and our 6-year old twins. We're having a blast creating a YouTube channel called MEWIE LIFE. If you enjoy encouraging, positive vlogs focusing on self-discovery, growth and family, please subscribe and be part of our journey! Thanks, chummers.


#11 The Fugly Truth

Tue, 17 Apr 2018 05:53:12 +0000

Our Shadowrun team's first campaign ends and we had a lot of fun with this episode. We learn more about Respaldo's past (foreshadowing what is to come) and we see an unexpected side of L that leads to life-changing consequences. The intensity of one key team player adds the icing on the cake. Enjoy!


#10 The Dead Zone

Mon, 02 Apr 2018 07:09:02 +0000

Infiltrating the mysterious biotech facility was simple enough. Kill a few guards. Interrogate the receptionist. Easy peasy. But now there is a large, undocumented space between the lobby where our shadowrunning team is positioned and a section of the building where Mr. Johnson and their friend, Arwon, are currently located. No lights. No electronics. This massive area is off the grid and is known as the Dead Zone.


# 09 Killing is Easier than Talking

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 03:17:03 +0000

The pace of the story is picking up. I reveal two new facts, one about what Respaldo is hiding up his sleeves and another clue as to what L is willing to do to find her long-lost mentor, Reese. In this episode, the team makes a few preparations at the store, runs into some trouble, and then unloads a flurry of bullets that is by far, the bloodiest battle yet in this ongoing campaign. Be sure to wait for the blooper and you'll hear Demian attempt to hum a nostalgic TV show theme song! I also share my love for dark synthwave music and how the genre inspires me to create Shadowrun missions, memorable NPCs, and fun, dark plot twists. My absolute favorite is "The Connection" from Lost Years. Check it out on Spotify and let me know what music inspires you to play Shadowrun - I'd be happy to add your recommendations to the list. Thanks, chummers!


#08 The Transaction

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 22:22:51 +0000

In this episode, I share Neo's background story and how this very talented teenager went to extreme measures to be where he is today. L also shares more about her personal life and what she's thinking at this point. Finally, and most importantly, all the fact-checking attempts, discussions and debates are over. The team has made their final decision. Let's get this transaction over with!


#07 Suck It Up and Say Sorry

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 08:01:09 +0000

In this episode, I give some more insights about Vic the Big Dick – how he gained power in the Redmond Barrens and how much trouble the team is in for interfering with his daily operations. Respaldo and Narkus seek reconciliation and useful information. Perhaps the team won’t be as trigger-happy on the next job – that is, if they are able complete the current one and stay alive. I also give a big shout out to the Arcology Podcast, who inspired me to return to the world of Shadowrun.


#06 The Third Option

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 09:07:24 +0000

In this episode, the team is divided as new facts emerge. They reach out to a contact for more information, only to realize that previous rash actions may come back to haunt them. I also give a few background details about Respaldo, who is played by Tim. This episode starts a new tradition: sharing Shadowrun resources that inspire us to play the game better. As I explain near the end of Episode 6, check out our twitter friend, HumantheFixer, for creative mission ideas!


#05 We Have a Problem

Wed, 17 Jan 2018 08:08:44 +0000

In this episode, the team hides out at Respaldo's home and begins to discuss the next course of action in completing the mission. However, a new person of interest interrupts and shares information that prompts more questions. I also share background details and insights to Chef, who is played by Demian.


#04 Betray Mr. Johnson or Your Conscience

Tue, 02 Jan 2018 08:15:54 +0000

In this episode, the team is victorious in their first firefight and now they're anxious to know who or what is behind the unguarded door. I also share important details about L, our team's combat mage played by Rozzie. L's backstory inevitably results in the team's first clash with one another in determining how to move forward with the mission. No one said this was going to be a milk run!


#03 Bad Feelings, Good Food

In our third episode, we share background information of our assault-rifle-wielding-elf named Narkus, played by Jason.
