Geez my two cents must be hard currency by now :?)
*...Any scientific advance/strange mutation story you hear on the news, you
immediately compare it to something in Shadowrun
*...You don't find the idea of elves in the future strange
*...there's not a boardgame in the house that still has all it's dice in
it's box, instead of in your dice bag
*...you seriously consider what totem spirit you would follow
*...The star sign or the god aren't what immediately what springs to mind
when you hear the word 'Ares'
*...You've ever risked life and limb to get to a game
*...You've ever skipped more than one meal in a row because you've gotten to
a good bit
*...You own more than three Shadowrun novels, and reread them even though
you don't like them, because of the background info
*...You know who Sam Verner is but not the name of your local mayor
*...You know all about your friends' four top characters, but nothing about
their real life families
*...Or what their last name is
*..If you've bought an older edition rulebook even though you own the latest
edition
