I have it back at home on my book shelf but I have not looked at it for years and can’t remember the title (I remember the cover though). Basically some crazy mage almost dies in the Amazon and the 'insect' spirits come to him and save him. He returns to Seattle and becomes obsessed with a female rock-star and kidnaps her to make her his 'queen'. It was a brutal little adventure, also due to... SPOILER ALERT ** [sblock]There is nothing you can do to save the rock star you are hired to save. Her transformation has already started and the best thing you can do it put a bullet in her head[/sblock]I ran a REALLY long Shadowrun game back in the day. We started with 1st ed, then I transferred it all over to 2nd and play more or less solid for about 2 and a half years of nothing but that game. The group went through all 3 'Bug' adventures. In Bug City, they were hired to sneak into the city, find some scientist and a bunch of his work and get him back out (past the barriers, etc). It was pretty cool and I ran it VERY much like "Escape from New York" and the party had a great time (only one party member died, the Troll when he basically stayed behind to stop a bug swarm and was swarmed!!! They had a bunch of grenades that they had tapped insecticide to and he set them all off at once, killing himself and most of the bugs). One of the best times against the "bugs" though was in Universal Brotherhood, when the party split into two group to assault the Seattle headquarters to look for the girl they were hired to find… one coming in from the roof and one the basement… so of course the basement assault team runs into all kinds of bugs AND they start yelling for the roof team to come down and save them… and the roof team was hearing all the crap that was coming down on the basement team and almost ran away… that was funny <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Gawd I LOVED Shadowrun a lot back in the day BUT I just got tired of dice pools and the weird rule sets. IF they ever came out with a really good and true conversion to something else I would be all over it again. I MIGHT pick up 4th ed… it sounds interesting but I am a bit worried that it is not going to be all that great…</blockquote>
