Its not to bad. Its a change, worlds very grim dark, and your not exactly hero. Not fully villian, but im sure aztek would feel but quizy with some of the SLAs methods. But even then lots of the terrible stuff is frowned upon by even their own.

Its interesting, and weird. Havent heard much else from other people aside from a deep dive into the secret background from original writer which is a weird twist.

End result is a splatterpunk/horror game where your the nominal good guy. How the game shapes is gonna depend alot on your gm and players.

For our group its turning very tongue in cheek and like, old early 90s anime ovas of the angel cop and others style. Stylized trash on purpose.

This is the second edition as well, 1st could be... lots different as its one of those early 90s dark edgy rpgs.

Fair enough. The one I'd heard about was almost certainly the first edition.

If ya dont mind me asking, what was it you heard?

Regarding 2nd, we kinda got this feel of like, the stallone version of judge dredd in lotta ways, or at least thats how we plan on setting the tone.

I was being deliberately vague about that because it's been ... years. Late '90'ies IIRC.

There was something about it being very dark, full of wry sarcastic commentary on (then-)current mass media and trends. A certain sense of self-irony. I think the expression "Splatter-punk" was used, but I'm not certain. The owner of the book was not ready to run it at the time, though I believe he has since then.

aahhh,

and yeah, its termed "splatterpunk" though its not all that hyperviolent. 1st might have been more, but here feels very much like your playing shadowrun from the corps SpecOps goon side. ive found lors of back info stuff, like the details behind the lore in setting in whats going on, and its pretty cool, and hopefully will make for an interesting game. on the side they had a short lived mini-battle game in world, but cut it short realizing they just wanted to run rpg stuff.

Hey, sometimes it pays to have someone loud and obvious drawing away attention while the quiet skilled people sneak in while guards are distracted;3

... that actually seems like could be cool concept for a small game of people who wanna do shadowrun without as much stealth..

I like the stints of silence at times. Makes me feel I didn?t miss anything.  ;D
