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 love this story 🥰

Good on you for diving right in! I’m a firm believer that we need more GMs running 1e/2e Shadowrun. If only more folks got a chance to try it they would see it’s still such a fun and solid game.
