The MMOG Nation Broadcast #12
Sun, 6 Jul 2008 17:57:00 GMT [download/play]
This week the MMOG Nation Broadcast tackles a subject near and dear to my heart: Shadowrun. While there are no public plans at the moment to develop an MMO based on the Shadowrun IP, I think it's something that would enrich the spirit of gamers everywhere. The IP, the setting, even the rules all seem custom-fit to what I see as a modern imperative: online massive gaming. Join myself and Mr. Brent Lassi as we talk about what we'd want to see in an SR MMO. We talk design, content, and the likelihood of this game ever reaching market. Check you later, omae.

'Shadowrun player from 1990' by mmotreasurehunt

Haven't played any table top RPGs in a number of years. Mainly just playing MMOs. Listening to this podcast made me wish for my bio-linked Panther Assault Cannon to put in the hands of my Troll and roll for natural sixes. You guys got me all excited about a Shadowrun MMO.
On a side note: The NES game back in the day was a better game world than the FPS that came out recently.
Thanks for getting me worked up!

Interesting ruminations. Never played Shadowrun, so found myself shouting 'Neocron!' frequently at the stereo. I guess that place isn't as original as I gave it credit for. Worth a look if you haven't so far - sounds like it has a great many of the things you're after in such a title, except the $500 million budget.
Now, Planescape on the other hand...

I have no idea why Shadowrun had not come into my radar as a roleplayer but after listening to th podcast and reading around I have bought the rules and my group will shortly be meeting Mr Johnson. Thanks for a great podcast.
