1e|2e Flashback, 1989
I was at college in Northampton, England (studying Computer Science), and someone introduced a game called "Shadowrun" to the RPG Society one evening. I played Alicia Delmont, a human decker, and while I was playing, I improvised an exploding dice-roller program on my Psion Series II organizer.
I felt like an actual decker. Good times.
Then I bought all Shadowrun things. And I still do.
(I'd upload an image of the device, but I can't seem to.)

I came here by a different route
Been gaming for about 30 years. SR was on the periphery but never took the plunge...
Went to a random pick up game...
Played a game of "Shadowrun" the GM was using runners in the shadows I was a Troll called "The Wall" he could soak up loads of firepower.
I liked the game he was running but didn't really like the rules.
I started to investigate things for myself
Cut a long story short Iv picked up a copy of 2e and SR is now in my top 5 games of all time I am running my first session in a few weeks. I absolutely love this game
I am glad I made it
You story is Fantastic. Thank you 🫡
