I'm currently gaming with a group of friends who've pretty much only played D&D. We are currently taking a hiatus from that, waiting for one of our members to come back from out west. We've talked about what to do next and have bandied about different games. I of course mentioned Shadowrun and it's been kinda dissed. I tried the standard D&D with guns, hot lesbian elves, the 6th world, mega corps. All no go. Now those are the standard easy sell arguments. What else can I add to show the pure awesome that is Shadowrun. One guy doesn't want to play a bad guy, another doesn't want to roll six siders (very into d20), and the others are all kinda meh.
Help me help them learn there is more to life than d20 and freakin' D&D. |
