Shadowrun Returns
It is time.
"Here it is: The Official Release Date for Shadowrun Returns is July 25, 2013. " from HBS.
Thus I begin a thread devoted to the other major cyberpunk game. The Game Gibson Pretends Doesn't Exist. The one with the Elves. Also Dwarves, (yes, Chris!), Trolls, Orcs and even Humans. Netrunning, cyberware, vehicle rigging and corporate intrigue side-by-side with...ah..magic. And Dragons. The occasional Sasquatch.
If you're smirking a bit, then good news! You're right to do so! It -is- Cyberpunk Meets DnD!
But it's also a lot of fun. No, it's not as scarily prescient, or prescient at all, as Cyberpunk 2020. No, it's not as edgy, nasty and real. You can walk down the Street twenty years from now and nothing Shadowrun-y will happen to you, unlike Cyberpunk, where it could happen to you tomorrow.
If you like a bit of fantasy in your tech, playing wizards appeals to you or seeing what happens when you give a 7-foot-tall Troll cyberlimbs and an autocannon, then you might want to check out Shadowrun and Shadowrun Returns, the current videogame incarnation of it.
