My favorite RPG of all time was Shadowrun. 2nd Edition. I recently tried to GM a campaign (well, recently being a year and a half ago) in the new edition. They've shark jumped so hard the game makes me cry. If you're familiar with the system at all, I had to base it in Denver so I could have Ghostwalker 'declare' certain rediculous new things illegal, immoral, or inedible. Standard execution was wait for Ghostwalker to get hungry then he'd go through the local populace looking for 'edible law' breakers and having himself a chomp.
Overkill, perhaps, but I like a little over the top. Does nothing to the fact that it took away my taste to RPG for a good long while. RFID sprayers. May they die. "Thank you for wearing Albertson's Underwear!" should not be something my clothes should be announcing! And don't get me started on the 'magical wi-fi matrix'. Gyeah.
Ummm.... [/rant]

I liked the theatrical nature of that system, with rules to run up a stream of bullets and the like. I never played the system, just read it. I really liked the card game.

A friend asks his friend for a cigarette. His friend says, "I think you made a New Year resolution to quit smoking".

The man says, " I am in the process of quitting". Right now, I am in the middle of phase one. What's phase one? I've quit buying. :w00t:

Wishing you a Very Happy

and

Prosperous New Year!!! 🙂

________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
