The Team is back from the CAS and it is time for some downtime, and then… we probably get a job… this one's gonna be fun. Also, I'd like to welcome our next Guest GM, Mike Mesmer! Mike has been a shadowrun demo team agent for years, and has written s... more
It is the finale time for Extraction Factions as we put a cap on the team's jaunt into the Confederated American States. Let's boogie!
The comrades are in the CAS for a run, given by a familiar yet unsettling Mr. Johnson. They've scouted 3 locations so far for their extraction target, and they've still got some looking to do. Let's check in.

Very well-edited with very good sound direction.
My favorite!
Lost interest immediately in the first 20 seconds when the dude was obnoxiously loud. Not even going to give the pod a chance.
Thank you Opti for being you and being real. This is Awesome and got so much heart for a show of Shadow running, Fantastic and more words that are synonyms for fantastic.
Thank you, lots of Love, keep it heart first!
Hello to the whole gang, love your work (and your actual play)!
What is there not to like about the Origins crew?
Great storytelling, fantastic character development, just enough crunch to keep it a Shadowrun game rather than a Shadowrun story; so much goodness!
The characters are fleshed out by the players to such an extent that I feel like I know them as real people; when bad things happen to them (no spoilers) I feel bad for them, when they succeed at things I feel elated.
I hope the team feel very proud of what they are producing, they should!
Loving the mood and the opti continues to make my day every time. This is a fantastic crew to vibe with the shadowruns, and enjoy the shenanigans.
Come for the good Shadowrun, stay for the chracters
If you want to listen to a group of kind, decent people having fun playing through adventures from Shadowrun’s classic history, this is the podcast for you.
Suitable for all ages from 8 to 80 and beyond.
This show turns a dystopian future rpg into woke nonsense.
I am unable to seriously listen to this drek when a player character has to apologize for being sexist for wanting to defend an unarmed woman in danger (See Ep. 67-Dragon Hunt 7 26:02-06.)
Everything Opti touch turns to gold. Thanks for all the hard work you and your chummers put into everything you do, Opti.
I have listened to 30 episodes so far and can say his fast paced podcast has some great GM’s and players who keep things moving along. I am enjoying the classic stories and character personalities.
These people are great, from the role play, to the sound, editing, and quality laughs and storytelling. I have been captivated since episode 1 and the journey the cast and characters take you down makes you feel among friends in a cruel, capitalist hellscape.
This podcast is one of the best Shadowrun Podcasts. I love every episode!
I have lately been interested in playing some shadowrun after playing D&D for a couple of years, and looking for a podcast to listen how the shadowrun tabletop plays out.
After some searching I stumbled upon this podcast and it is of great quality. The sound is perfect, unlike a lot of other live podcasts which have bad sound quality and are impossible to listen to.
Also, the DM is pretty clear, knows his stuff and the partymembers are all well familiar with the shadowrun rules and universe!... more
To anyone who is looking for a great new show to listen to, your search is now over! This cast is amazing and the stories the create are fun and entertaining! The production value is really up there too. They do a fantastic job making this fun. Get ready for a ride!
