I was going back through my CD collection and I found all my old Marilyn Manson albums. I was watching the Beautiful People video and that got me to think of another song, Ich Will by Rammstein, who basically rob a bank as a giant publicity stunt.

Looking through the material all I see is rules on guns and more guns. A few ideas for clothing lines: (right neo victoriana goth steampunk is so hawt these days) or (look what I bought in the earth collection shop! How does this differ from what you wear in 2008, well the sandals are not by Ecco) or the (OMG! I am standing out for wearing colors, quick back into the pinstripe suit).

I would kind of expect there to be more punk elements in Shadowrun. When was the last time a character walked into a bar to be met by a full-on freak show. How many people have room-mates that are tattooists who are into body modification and transcendentalism?

Personally, or at least how we have been playing it. The world is drab and boring with the occasional superhero out saving the world (god forbid he break type and wear spandex).

I want more drugs, I want more random violence. I want to have a reality TV show made about the characters, I want there to be hysterics, drama, and bullets. Less Shadows. Less sneaking. More brazen action. More burning like brilliant trash.

Despite R. Talsorian's insistence, cyberpunk never had a thing to do with with the punk movement or punk rock.
