Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Universe" data-source="post: 1560983" data-attributes="member: 8944">Shadowrun would still be high action. Although heroism would tend to be grayer--die hard, rather than lord of the rings. I enjoyed the Shadowrun D20 (sorta) thing we ran.  However, I am BEGGING you to keep this light. I never get to play (yes that is an exaggeration), and I don't want to play a Cthulhu-esque everybody dies or goes insane kind of game. I know you guys are playing high-adventure, high action--but as the DM, I'm not. I'm playing devious villainy and backstabbing, with absolutely no potential for heroism, since even the good NPCs take a backseat to you guys out of necessity.  So, although, I won't write up an ex-delta force sniper with mutant powers, I WILL want to play someone with a little bravado, and a sense of humor about the undying hordes of Hell. So, if I play an insurance salesman (or a highway patrolman, or whatever), I'll want to play him something "Ash-y" from Army of Darkness.  Or perhaps Hellboy-ish, but without the horns and the right hand of doom.   If that's going to ruin the game, or decrease the "feel," let me know--but please remember that I haven't gotten to play a character for two consecutive sessions since 1998, and I have been on DM duty for the life of this particular group. I want to play something where I can be a hero, fighting for Good. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> (I guess another way to put it would be that at this point, I would have more fun playing John Carpenter's Vampires than I would playing Bram Stoker's Dracula.  I'd rather play Brad Mignola's Hellboy, than HP Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu).</blockquote>
