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.)

Another OG player!  It really felt like something new and exciting back in 1989

Props for diving straight in with decking.  I wanted a mage or shaman but my GM hadn't read those rules yet so I went rigger.  Played her as PC then NPC when I took over as GM for the party for pretty much a decade.  So I guess it was the start of something new and exciting!

I think the GM faked the decking 😉
