It was a bizarre combination of cyberpunk and fantasy, and those two very different flavors somehow fit together better than peanut butter and chocolate. Back in the table top scene of 1989, Shadowrun was something fresh and new.
That is not a name that inspires confidence or interest …these days. “Shadowrun.” That’s the type of generic, lifeless name you’d expect to see on the newest financial bomb FPS from Activision or EA.
How did I not know about Shadowrun before now? If I had to guess, the title probably threw me off.
