Actually, at GenCon, T.D. mentioned that somebody called FASA late one
night asking them to please call a particular house at a particular time.
Apparently, the people there were playing Mechwarrior, and since Mechwarrior
uses the same character generation system as Shadowrun it was "obviously" part
of the same universe. Thus, they were using Ork Mechwarriors... After the
people at FASA stopped laughing, they firmly stated that the two were not the
same... Ya know, people can be REALLY stupid, can't they?
Oh yeah, and to whoever asked, I am the one who did the
Cthulu-Shadowrun conversions...
