I miss the pink mohicans.
I miss the badass attitude of the "suck cheese shark face" street sam by bradstreet. I miss the feeling of chaos from 1st and 2nd editions art, like that gang riding the car with a lone star cop.. on the outside and upside down. I miss the "techno-tribal" aesthetics that mixed chrome, feathers and maya symbols. I miss the logo with a skull and scroll on a chipboard. I miss the Rocker archetype. I miss the shadowtalk. I miss cyberdecks. I miss Fuchi. So, who else think that with each new edition, SR got more and more sanitized, with too much cyber and too little punk ? |
