I know there are games where none of the characters are your typical
shadowrunners, but has anyone had a game that is completely different? For
example, where all the characters are paracritters, or spirits, or even
great dragons. The theme of the game would be utterly unelated to Shadowrun,
but the setting would be the same. Could be fun.

Once ran a tornament where all the PC's were critters of some kind. It was
back in 91 or 92 and I haven't got the scenario any longer, but IIRC the PC
were a free spirit of man, a vampire, a wendigo, a sprite, a shapeshifter
(can't remember which type), and one more.

The characters each had a secret goal, and were basically 3 good guys vs. 3
bad guys. The scenario wasn't that good, and obviously not memorable enough.
