In A.D. 2012 Magic Was Beginning

Oh, yeah, Sunday night I found all my old Shadowrun 2nd Ed. sourcebooks, adventures, and rulebooks. That pretty much decided me on the upcoming campaign.

I think I'll run 2nd Ed, with a version of the 4th Ed. hacking rules spliced in, and the world timeline advanced to 4th Ed as well. That means people in my group who want to can obtain 2nd Ed. used on eBay (they're going for $7-$8) and I can just do a handout or something of my new hacking rules.

Man, paging through all the old TeeFive characters really takes me back, though I figure we oughta start a new group. If only Tom was still gaming with us, maybe I could bribe him into a new t-shirt design. I do think I'll be taking a page from ptownhiker's notebook, and worry a lot less about game mechanics and a lot more about story and character interaction. Shadowrun's well-suited to that anyway.

3.5! That's the system we're using for the game I'm currently in. Amusing, though, text-based and only one night a week with one player who's very inconsistent, haven't gotten a good feel for it, yet.

I don't think Shadowrun had a 3.5 :)

I have the 3rd Ed. rules, but they are just 2nd ed with minor tweaks, really.

Bah, yes, 3. Too many games had a 3rd Ed (I used to play WH40K 3rd Ed, too).
