Greetings and welcome to the latest addition to the Mana Bros. ludoteque and, consequently, to the web site.

Our very personal relationship with Shadowrun began in 1989, when purely economical factors convinced us to stay clear of the otherwise extremely attractive, freshly imported - but expensive as hell - SR First Edition.

In the following years, we still longed for the wonderful Shadowrun setting - whose manyfold marvels could be gleaned from various magazine articles, sourcebooks and novels, but the Second Edition failed to hit the shelves at a more reasonable price - due to some importer's wicked designs, it was still twice the price of any other RPG on the Italian market.

Finally, many years after, the acquisition of a net connection made us able to break the hold of the importers and their minions, and get a brand new, pristine copy of the Shadowrun Third Edition.

The Postal Service mislaid the parcel, of course, so that it wandered somewhere between Seattle (how appropriate) and Turin for twice the time it normally takes, and then some. It was reported lost, or stolen.

But in the end, we got it - the 60th RPG in our collection.

And the system completely bogged us down, killing our game hopelessly for three consecutive evenings.

Roleplayers being creatures of habit, we found it easier to adapt the game universe to a game engine more to our tastes, than to try and impose again on our players the rigours of the unadulterated SR system without the support of a laptop computer.

Well, make that, ehm.... four game engines more to our tastes, actually.

This page hosts the result of our work so far.
