I don't really see what the problem is with all the games, books etc. not sharing the same plot arc. Shadowrun has a great world with deep background.
I tend to get a bit annoyed when people talk about traditional tabletop p&p role-playing games as 'board games'. Shadowrun and D&D can both be played just fine without any kind of board. If you're going to say that Shadorun is 'based' on D&D, you might as well say the same about every RPG in existence. About as accurate as saying that every arcade machine is based on Pong. Shadowrun is rather a cyberpunk setting with fantasy elements, not the other way around.otaku84 wrote:All of this is originally based on the RPG board game, which was based on the once popular dungeons and dragons board game, except with futuristic elements.
