[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 4061485, member: 9810"] Thought I would like, but didn't... [b]Shadowrun[/b]: So many people praised this game to me (and continue to), but all 3 times I've tried to play it the game has broken down - usually in the first session. [b]FUDGE[/b]: I was convinced that this was going to be a great free flowing game. It turned into 3 players fighting for the spotlight with the other 2 watching the spectacle (and I was one of the 3 due to a magic item that actually gave me some power). Thought I would hate, but liked...
