Shadowrun in a nutshell
From this RPGnet review of Shadowrun's fourth edition:

SR4 is a game in which, by default, Players will play Shadowrunners, who are Horrible People that Shoot People Right in the Face for Money. They will form Extravagant Plans, something will go Completely Wrong, but they will Improvise and get Paid Anyway. The Shadowrunners will then Fence the Loot to feed their Crippling Drug Addictions that they acquired so that they would have the build points to better Shoot People Right in the Face.

I think that sums up Shadowrun pretty well. Well actually the few times I played it I don't remember any PCs having Crippling Drug Addictions but that may be because only the fourth edition has merits and flaws as part of the core rules...

Rog Blake, Dark Dentist of the Future, had a taste for nitrous oxide, a la Blue Velvet. But he didn't get any character bonuses for it.

Hmm, SR4 coming out, Dave returning to Scotland... is the timing of these two event truly coincidental?

Probably. Hopefully, almost, I still remain unsold on Shadowrun.
