Read, like there won't be a movie.
Game, like the dice rolls don't matter.
Dream, like there is no tomorrow.

Never Deal With A Dragon...

But they never said don't get involved with a kickstarter project for a game that was new in 1989 - and back then you used pencil and paper, not computers to play.

I got excited, and pledged $30 to get a copy of the game, plus a few other nifty items:

Then an even more awesome $125 pledge level was created, and I got more excited:
Here is my rundown of what goodies come at this level:

  • ShadowRun Backer Shirt

Once Seen, Cannot Be Unseen...


How to tell if you're doing it...

So Rite!

So Wrong!

Going Postal...

Is 75 years good?

Rule of Law...

What, you thought it was real?

Nobody Knew it Could Happen...

...an ongoing story of denial (no, not the river in Egypt).  Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.  Example:  Breathe in, breathe out.

Thanks for the Memory

As anyone can tell you, you don't just upgrade memory in a computer:

  • You back up your data, just in case.
  • You unplug everything, and untangle the cords while you're at it. 
  • You clean off the desk, clean under the desk, and clean the crud off the keyboard.
  • You then open up the computer. 
  • You carefully remove the old memory module from the computer.
  • You mentally slap yourself for not opening the plastic package holding the new memory module.
  • You place the old memory module aside, and open the plastic package with the new memory module.
  • You carefully remove the new memory module from the package and gently place it in the empty slot.
  • You more forcefully push the new memory module in the empty slot until you hear a 'click'.
  • You close up the computer, and plug all the keyboard, mouse and power cord back in to it.
  • You say a prayer to your personal deity while pressing the 'on' switch.
  • You begin to breathe again when the screen comes on with your desktop intact.
  • You then shut down the computer, and connect everything else.
  • You put the old memory module in the plastic package from the new memory module. 
  • You restart the computer and make sure everything is still o.k.

Only after all that can you enjoy your new memory upgrade!
