The Hive | Rogue Plays Shadowrun Returns: Dead Man's Switch | 21
0Well, we found out what the consequences for our actions are. James Telestrian III informs us that we owe him - big time. But we also saved someone very important to him, so he's letting us live as long as we are useful to him. What awaits us as we head down into the hive beneath the UB?
The year is 2054. Magic has returned to the world, along with dragons, elves, dwarves, orks, and trolls. We live in a dystopia that is overrun by megacorporations that keep the masses down and drain the life from them. Shadowrun is a setting that marries Tolkien-esque fantasy elements (magic, metahuman races) with dystopian cyberpunk a la William Gibson (Neuromancer, The Peripheral, among others). Everything is double faced - the side that operates in the open, and then the side that operates in the shadows. After all, when you're a megacorporation that has their own arcology and extraterritoriality you can't just come at your opponents directly. That's where we come in - the glue that holds this whole mess of betrayal and corp espionage together, Shadowrunners. Deniable assets, free from the rigors of acting under a System Identification Number (SIN) we are free - truly free to do as we please. We survive on our wits, our tenacity, and our ability to get the job done; so long as it doesn't go all to drek and end up with us getting geeked. There's not too many rules to our world - but there are clear guidelines. First, NEVER make a deal with a dragon. Second, geek the mage first. After that, you better hope you get lucky and have the guts to make your dreams come true. Sam... well I guess I'll see you in Seattle chummer.

He does an excellent job explaining the setting, the world, and his own character - a troll who goes by Dream. It's worth your time, and I enjoy it immensely.
