Just a small update. Mr. Black has finally posted Mr. Black's Essential Shadowrun Trideography. This page is where you will find movies and TV shows dissected for what they can add to your game. It is not about how good or bad or cyberpunk the show is. It is solely a discussion about memorable characters a GM can drop in, examinations of themes (intended or not), or the feel and look of a scene a GM can use to illustrate a location to his players, or kick-ass quotes to unleash upon them. It is also not definitive, exclusive, or finished. Mr. Black will add to it when he is ready. Mr. Black is also not here to wordfight over: what films/TV shows are in the list; films/TV shows should be in the list; what he thinks about them; or what GM's can take away from them. Mr. Black is willing to listen to suggestions of what to add next; leave your suggestions in the comments. Mr. Black is also willing to discuss the works in general and perhaps what else can be gained by watching them; again, feel free to add to the comments. Did you take away something else entirely from the work? Send it to Mr.Black via e-mail; perhaps he will publish it. Then again, perhaps not; he is old and cranky. Nonetheless, we start with Blade Runner, Burn Notice and Robocop. Yes, the original. What, did you think Mr. Black has time to waste watching trashy unneeded remakes? (And has there been a more criminal use of an up-coming foreign director on his first American film? Mr. Black thinks not.) Now go read up, then re-watch and go stun your players.
