Full of beautiful illustrations, background history and a pretty damn tough game to handle mentally, its heavily influenced by Thatcher's rein in England in terms of its bleak outlook, drug abuse, sex crimes, media sponsored mass murder and general failure of the powers that be to help the common man.A real mature rpg, none of this try-hard crap I see a lot of D20 companies are trying to pump out and frighten/arouse purile gamers with.Some time ago I wrote a 140,000 word supplement for the game which is still floating around on the net and helped make a CD full of other privately made material for it. I know the guys who wrote it pretty well and its comming back with a bit of revision next year with a few more books too which is good news, its pretty tough for an indi game company to make it in the current environment.Funnily enough, WoTC used to own them about 4-5yrs ago, decided that they didnt make enough money out of it for that particular market and gave it back to them, IP and all. <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 dunno, that game was just 'me' and I havent felt quite at home in any other system or setting yet.Shadowrun also has a special spot in my heart, it was the first game I really played that was a rpg, though these days after all the years I think Ive run out of characters to play <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=":)" /></blockquote>
