IMHO Shadow run was now where near the best or first role-playing game to explore those themes. Why didn't Jon Katz talk about William Gibson or other Cyberpunk authors who created the cyberpunk mythos instead of a Role-playing game thats biggest contrabution was adding elves and orcs? I think Shadow Run was popular becouse it had a pretty simple system ( compared to cyberpunk which was so mathematical is was unplayable) but it did not create or add to any of the themes it dealt with. It was more of a 'You like Cyber stuff? You like Dragons? Well now you can have both in one easy to use package!
