Shadowrun Online

It seems that the MMO hunt won’t just end. I just got word of Shadowrun Online. It’s based on a successful pen-and-paper RPG of the same name. From their Kickstarter pitch, it seems that the SRO will be a turn-based, fully 3D browser/tablet game.

I still have doubts about browser-based MMOs, but if they’re pitching it at tablet gamers as well, that kind of makes sense, and I can see myself playing on my iPad. In fact, that would be so Shadowrun. I’ve pledged some money just to see what it looks like.

Phenomenon 2009

One of the main reasons I haven’t put out many updates in the last week or so was due to being in Canberra for Phenomenon. Overall, I had a good time. As usual, the con was held at Daramalan College, which was close to the amenities of Dickson shops and all the takeaway Asian you can stomach, and the classrooms with ceiling heaters that made some sessions seem as though they were set in ovens.
