About Hard Knocks Sorority

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 (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.

   Diendre Rescues the Fan Club

   Hoi there Chummers, and welcome back to the Hard Knocks Sorority show, a Shadowrun 4th edition actual play featuring myself, Paul as the GM, and Veronika as Cecile aka College Girl, and Kat as Diendre. This is the second part of the last episode where Valery and Beth said good night early. We kept playing since Cecile wanted to go have a talk with Kaylee and see if the ladies at the Samovar could help here learn a spell. Diendre meanwhile went and confronted her fan club and got invited to the club house. Enjoy this quiet episode of exposition and damage control.

   Diendre's Not Gonna Take It No More!

   The team get back to Tacoma and meet up with Kirstin to collect their hard earned Nuyen. They have a conversation with Prokop in which they tell him in no uncertain terms that they do not appreciate being put into danger by him. Right after they accepted the money they earned by doing so. Cecile goes shopping, again. Diendre, Ali and Grace go back to Tarislar where the events of the last days and the news casts begin to crystalize a plan. Diendre's seen this before and she's not having it.
