The typical Shadowrun adventure required shadowrunners because of what you were getting into. The failure here was due to lack of imagination and daring in adventure writing.The feeling I got from Shadowrun was that it was designed and written by people under the impression we live in a continuous city. Much like Trantor of Asimov's Foundation stories. No working knowledge of the world outside the city. It is an urban game, with urban themes and urban perils. It is not designed to deal with anything outside the city. It appeals to those with an urban mindset, and has a hard time dealing with anything that is not city.I have been in the wilderness all by myself. No one in sight, no one within hearing, and it is a very different place. The city is of our making, we control it. The wilderness made us, we do not control it. We live in the city on our terms. We adapt to the wilderness, or we die.We limit what our children experience, and their imaginations are stunted thanks to our need to control.</blockquote>
