If you fancy an apocalyptic holocaust caused by demons
(instead of nuclear bombs) then "Obsidian" is the game for you!

Imagine if Tzimizine Demons (horrors) actually did come to the world!
(those who have read the relevant SR trilogy, know what I mean!)
That would mean a holocaust and the few survivors would make small
communities trying to escape the demons!

Obsidian is very similar to shadowrun in the way that it has cyberware,
megacorporations, magic, conspiratory groups, free cities and barrens,
smuggling and world conspiracies, but with the ED allencompassing fear
of the demons-horrors!
I highly recomend it!
For those with tougher nerves and alternate rpg tendencies,
one can also play a demonic cultist!
