One of the best part of shadowrun was picking irl city and giving it a fantasy+cyberpunk makeover: placing districts of note, choosing what factions operate there, riffing on landmarks…

Venice is where church agents, mafia goons and old money are bidding for awakened relics while gig workers are trying not to drown in half sunken apartments.

Detroit is, of course, a jungle of mega factories and spacescrapers. Robo-cops? Naah, there was a trial run, but the tin men always go psycho from sensory depravation. We’ll stomp our citizens scum the old fashion way, thank you very much.

Moscow metro runs through literal hell. Also grab a molotov, Lenin has risen and calling for a revolution against the corpos. Why are his eyes red? Uhh… communism?

Session 0 was always a blast. (Minus explaining new players how to use chummer5)

I DMed a lot of shadowrun, and I really do love both of them equally. RP makes the world fun and meaningful, while combat gives it physicality, makes it real.

I miss it, if only I could afford to spend 10 hours on prep every week :<

Thanks for the link, I’ll def be more critical about it in the future.

I’ll still use it (for now) because as a no-nonsense customizable search engine its by far the best I’ve tried.

You can give LLM some API endpoints for it to “do” thing. Will it be intelligent or coherent, that’s a different question, but it will have agency…

Its also popular and easier to google issues for.

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Windows’ lightweight photo editing thing. Great for highlighting screenshots.

All image editing software on linux (that I’ve tried) is 10x more clunky.

I mean, its free no-authentication VMs. They had to put at least some guards against abuse.
