Title: Shadowrun Inspirational
Post by: Kot on <12-05-10/1258:06>

I'm starting this thread for future inspirations (from all sources), as much as for This post (http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=187.msg17229#msg17229). It's more than good. Most people tend to cut on deep moments like that one in their games, so PBF's are a good place to use them, but anyways - that's one of those things that inspire and make you want to play/GM Shadowrun even more, that all those rulebook-goodies.

One piece that inspires me is the following one by Khadim Nasser which just blows my mind.  It's brilliant and I love it!   Check out this paydata which is a speech given at a Humanis gala dinner along with the comments.  (http://pavao.org/shadowrun/miscellany/racism.pdf)  I feel that drawing too specfic analogies between racial/ethnic prejudice of today and prejudice of Meta-humans can be somewhat rocky ground to navigate if done carelessly.  Primarily because people most quickly make the connection between caucasians=(beautiful/normal looking) humans.... minorities=(ugly) orks and trolls...which is rather off-putting.  However, when done in a well thought-out way just makes for some damn good and insightful sci-fi!  That's why I play Shadowrun!

Also check out K. Nasser's other stuff for SR4A and earlier editions at http://pavao.org/shadowrun/miscellany/ (http://pavao.org/shadowrun/miscellany/)

Thanks for the kudos Kot!

And yet another thing worth reading - hacker introducing a young wannabe (http://"http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=187.msg18353#msg18353"), showing him the ropes. Also a good thing to show your teammates, whether they use the matrix a lot, or not at all.

Thanks. I was in a hurry, and might not notice any errors.
