Creating a shadowy, science-fiction/thriller/adventure story with fantasy races and backroom spy scenes and epic car chases has been an idea I have had for a very long time. In conjunction with a good friend of mine, we had the idea to write a cyberpunk thriller story using the already created tabletop-RPG world of Shadowrun. 

How would it be written? Through a way that might never have been done before--via an online, Discord-based RPG game. The plan was to gather the characters, collect them on Discord, explain the world and rules and ideas, have them create their characters according to the Shadowrun official character sheets, then present them with the plot of the story, one piece at a time. The reactions of the characters, their dialogue, their creativity would then be translated into fiction and shared chapter by chapter on the Wattpad main profile. Everyone participating would be credited in an acknowledgments page.

The Official Runner: A Discord Story Discord server is in set-up at the moment. 

The first plot is plotted, and the main quest sketched out. Dozens of other missions are available for later books, short stories, one-offs, or practice missions.
