Free RPG Day!

Just got back from our FLGS

I got the combined Shadowrun / Battletech starter book. Bayonet Jr got the DD4e adventure Dead in the Eye

Very full store w/ 6 tables going w/ 5+ at every table.

Please tell me the shadowrun/battletech combined starter book is NOT an effort to bring those two gaming worlds into one.

Nope - it's a flip-book.  Shadowrun on one side, flip it over for BT; meet in the middle. But it's 2 games in one.

I hoped that was the case.

If I recall correctly, they did that with some Shadowrun starter material before. Had an adventure on oneside from the player's perspective and how to run the adventure from an gm's pov on the flip side. 

They did something similar in one of the kits. Described an adventure as a narrative from the character's perspective, and as a side bar, had the rules and mechanics behind the description. Fairly useful material.

I worked all day so I missed out on it.   :-[   Not that my LGS has many RPGs besides D&D.
