Real Lich Hours

This week, we say “so long, Seattle!” and give our own final thoughts on the Dead Man’s Switch campaign before reading what you have to say about this, the least-loved of the Shadowrun Returns trilogy. Thank you to Darrin Michelson for our art this season, and to Gwen Static for the music!

Shadowrun Returns ends with a whimper as we finish of Jessica and bring the insect threat to its knees with the use of our special mold shotguns. Now, we just have to decide what to do with her. Also discussed: More bugs! How we’d improve the final mission, and the game in general. What juicy North American content do we lose out upon by moving the series abroad?

This means we’re headed deep into the Universal Brotherhood.

But there are also active murder scene investigations, VR drug dens, and some leads on the people who might know what happened to our friend Sam.

This week we begin Dead Man’s Switch, the first of the three Shadowrun Returns games. Our runner is at the end of their rope, penniless and without any leads on jobs. Then they get a pre-recorded phone call from a deceased former colleague, promising a life-changing sum of money if they can solve the murder mystery. So, we suit up and head to SeaTac. Also Discussed: Essence in Shadowrun What it me...

Step it up, chummer, we’ve got a whole new season of Real Lich Hours for ya. That’s right, we’re beginning our coverage of the Shadowrun Returns trilogy of games! But before we get into those, we want to give a little bit of a history an overview of Shadowrun itself, a long-running cyberpunk fantasy tabletop game with amazing lore and obtuse mechanics.
