Ooh, now this has me thinking about a multiple-room, multiple-tower Dread game where some rooms become "the bad place" because the tower there is much less stable. Maybe a game about urban decay and renewal where each tower is a neighborhood? /scribbles notes...

I think it was your episode on "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" that made me realize just how integral he was to the Stax sound, beyond just being a brilliant guitarist.

Currently running 3 and playing 4, though several are either about to wrap up or in danger of fading away due to scheduling issues. So...room for more games soon!

It was a pretty great gig for me; if I hadn't gotten used to a white-collar IT job salary, I'd probably still be doing something along those lines.

I had a younger and more neuroplastic brain, and a lot of it was filled up with SR lore. The line editor ( @primerunner.bsky.social at that time) was responsible for coordinating the various releases and storylines, and would tell me what I needed to know/hint at/reveal in any given book.

I wrote most of it, so...yes?
At the time, Shadowrun was all about the metaplot, and had a number of sourcebooks that were all setting lore and adventure ideas for GMs. Blood in the Boardroom was one of those; it was tagged as an adventure, but I could not tell you why; I'd call it a sourcebook.
