I can't help but ask. 8)
There's been a whole lot of posting of "this isn't Shadowrun!" or "this doesn't feel like Shadowrun!" But very few people posting what Shadowrun is. Do we have a united view of what Shadowrun is? If not, would it be possible for any sort of rules revision (hell, forget rules revision, each SR3 book, for that matter) to "stay true" to Shadowrun? |
