Design goals and guidelines
- Pregen runners have a clear personal theme to allow players to get into character easily.
- Pregen Runners are mechanically solid with an outlined area of expertise. All pregen characters are expected to pass a relative degree of competency compared to other runners of a similar archetype.
- Part of a pregen runner's documentation is an "In Play" guideline. This document gives an overview over the abilities and tools at the character's disposal, including examples of how they work mechanically. This section can follow any format, provided that the presentation of information is clear & concise, allowing it to be easily understood by new players.
Mechanical Creation Rules
Pregen runners follow the same creation rules as regular runners: They are standard (that is non-prime) runners, created using sum-to-ten priorities.
The Premade department will mechanically maintain pregen runners, tracking nuyen, karma, lifestyle costs, and key advancements, though input from the original creator of the sheet will be taken into account.
Creation Reward
The current reward for an approved premade sheet is 10 GMP. Any premades created and posted before September 1st, 2019 are subject to the original 20 GMP reward.
How to submit
Premades follow the standard submission process, but use the r/ShadowHavenPreMadeGen subreddit, and always require a heavy review.
Using the Pregen Runners
Pregen Runners can be used to apply to games by any player, they can also be used as NPCs by GMs.
Players without approved characters have priority pick of the Pregen Runners.
GMs who need a certain role filled for their game are encouraged to give suggestions for appropriate Pregen Runners. For example stating something like "Requires a Matrix Character, if no approved matrix characters apply, an application as LastJack or NetRat is a surefire way to get into the game." in the session posting on reddit.
