Shadowrun: sell it to me!

[Imperialus]

But, in the end, you gotta love a game where an elven master swordsman jams a brick of C4 onto the spine of a cybered-up, brain-dead troll with built in tazer skin and runs for it...

We did that once... cept it was a cyberzombie, we stuffed it in his mouth not his back, it was C12 not C4, he had a built in panther not a tazer, and we had already blown off one of his legs with a MAW...

What can I say, it was a silly one shot run where everyone created characters with 150 Karma to blow and loaded them down with a nigh unlimited budget... We tinkered with a 4 panel van untill it was about as well armed and armoured as a GMC banshee... I belive it had a rail gun. Of course the run consisted of sabotaugeing one of Aires's R&D departments where they were in the process of developing cyberzombie commandos to perform a coup against the UCAS goverenment. I ended the run by telling everyone.

"You unplug yourself from the simsence deck and wipe the sweat from your forhead. Looking at the clock you realize it is almost 3 am and you have school tommorow. Crawling into bed you fall asleep dreaming of what life would be like as a Street Samuri, oozeing cyberwear, with beautiful girls hanging on your arm. No one would pick on you with a Preadator in your hand and wired reflexes in your skull."

Shadowrun rocks. It takes something extremely goofy (putting elves, orcs, and dragons into a cyberpunk setting) and transforms it into something that against all the odds hangs together fairly well.

This statement says it all, one of the reasons I like it so much!!!
