Looking at what has happened in the past, and in the recent news, I've looked at similar events with other companies (such as TSR and Commodore). This worries me about the future of Shadowrun and what I as a consumer and creative individual can do to help make sure that Shadowrun doesn't fade into history.
One idea I had would be to take the Open Source root (kinda like what Netscape did with their browser (which lead to the creation of Firefox)). The Shadowrun community is huge and very creative. I think if the Shadowrun license was given to a community project that it would survive and thrive (and have less instances of "accounting irregularities" that we have seen in recent events). What I don't know is how would you create such a community project, how would it be managed, how they would obtain the licenses to Shadowrun, and how would they work with any/all publishers to get products to RPG stores and Shadowrun players in a timely and productive manner? I'm open to ideas. |
