Day 25: Name a game that had an impact in the last 12 months?

For sheer entertainment value, it has to be Shadowrun.

There’s probably a more serious and thoughtful answer, but not right at this moment.

Question 23: Which game do you hope to play again?

From recent times, the game I’d most like to play again is Shadowrun.

The system is not my favourite, but the setting was entertaining and the player characters were fun and we had a neat set-up as ‘popular touring musicians who are in reality an elite mercenary company’. There was a troll, a dwarf, a mysterious rigger, and an elf close-combat specialist known as Variant Rook.

Their musical stylings were eclectic and the band had a different name for every appearance:

“You’re an amazing crowd and we are…Many Machines on Ix!”

I think the premise has got legs.
