<Warning> I'm going to into gushy fan mode here-
Your trilogy is why I am playing Shadowrun right now.
A friend of mine told us about the SR universe and it
didn't necessarily appeal to me. We were coming from a
mostly hero rpg setup and SR was just plain foreign.
He lent us the DH trilogy books to give us the layout
(Sorry no royalties from us:). We went crazy for SR
because of the large scale events. The lone shadowrun
team saving the world was 'heroic' enough to make us
want to play.
I am somewhat biased because we hate the adventure
modules(except HB). The few we bought from Fasa are
horrible for experienced role-players who like to come
up with their own plans. I would much rather read a
novel and adapt it into an adventure, than have it all
laid out with no options.
However, I am talking about the good novels. The ones
written by writers like you (warned you), Nigel
Findley, and Kenson. I now own 19 of the SR novels and
of them I liked 7.
This is all just my opinion of course. I have only
been playing Sr for about 9mos so you can always chalk
this up to newbieism.
Keep up the good work,
Kismet
