An Introduction to Fantasy Grounds

I will be writing a new mega campaign for Shadowrun Hong Kong

Its gonna be big, massive, kinda like realms for D&D. But for shadowrun.

I also intend to finish in in a year While still writing campaigns for ROE2 and BREACH 2-3.

Its a mega campaign with several story arcs following at least two people.

It will be based on the storylines of the SNES, SEGA GENESIS AND SEGA CD VERSIONS OF SHADOWRUN. (THE ONES INVOLVING JAKE ARTIMAGE, JOSHUA, MAO AND D-HEAD ETC.) A little bit of Dead man's switch and As well as a bit of other cyberpunk sci-fi fantasy stories. IE: Johnny Mneumonic, Neuromancer, AD&D Treasure of Cloudy Mountain, As well as I think one or two Bernard Cornwell books.

Anyway, It'll be long and probably span multiple campaigns.

It will also be based in several areas of Japan and Most of the United States. SEATTLE OF COURSE IS ONE

Then there's a fictitious city state off the coast of Japan that has trolls and Orcs (Japan expelled its orc and Troll population after the magic returned I think) and I think Oakland California

In addition I am looking for several other cities in the US. Not sure which ones. If you know of a small town or city that no one knows about that you'd like included PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

All I know is one of the major centers for the storyline will be BERLIN NEW HAMPSHIRE In the United States. Oh! And Duluth Minnesota and Harpers Ferry West Virginia!!

Leave a comment if you want your town mentioned. I'm only taking small towns no one has heard of.

Shadowrun Returns is bad! Get Shadowrun Hong Kong instead or Dragonfall!

If I am wrong and Dragonfall is just as bad, let me know!!!

But Shadowrun returns, its full of bugs, the patch doesn't help, its mainly obsolete. Also, the game doesn't run a lot of campaigns and modules.

Unless you really need to, rely on Dragonfall or BETTER STILL HONG KONG.

Abandonware is legal. Yes its free

People have asked me, is it true that abandonware games like those mentioned on the blog are legal? Its okay to download for free?

Yes. Under current copyright laws they are old and they are free. BUT... if it becomes too popular, often times a company will step in and reissue the copyright and then its no longer legal.

CASE IN POINT... Outlander, Master of Orion 1 and 2, Close combat a bridge too far, Some of the D&D Forgotten realms Gold disks, ETC. They aren't free anymore. You have to buy them from STEAM or from GOG.COM

Yes. Its true.

So hopefully Omnitrend or another company won't come along and renew the games Breach 2 and 3 or renew Rules of Engagement 1 and 2 and charge an arm and a leg for it.

I'd Probably cry real hard if they did
