[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2103273, member: 23094"] And maybe Henry's got it right. When I think Shadowrun, I don't think "I need X d6s to do this, and my TN is Y, and ..." I think of being the first elf to graduate from MIT&M, despite his involvement with a Boston-based elven biker gang, with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Thaumaturgy. I think about taking out one of those little life insurance policies that bring along with it the promise of a speedy extraction. I think about walking in to a corporate headquarters through the delivery door after frotzing the security cameras, hoping to walk out with their lead programmer - or at least with a soft copy of his work. I think about meeting a drug lord in a "major metropolitan city," finding out he has connections to XCorp and is doing a little "market research" for them on the city's lower classes - and being very, very glad no one saw the sawed-off hiding under my armored trench coat. To me, Shadowrun is a mood and a setting. Whether I roll one die and add a bunch of numbers to it, or 10 dice and add a bunch of numbers to it, just isn't all that important. [/QUOTE]
