Episode 38 Harlequin for Shadowrun 1st Edition

In this episode Bill, Edwin, and Lou talk about the element of “Gonzo” in a RPG game, read some listener mail, and give the “This Ol’ Dungeon” treatment to one of the most famous Shadowrun adventure supplements, “Harlequin” from 1990. We discuss what works and what seems to need renovated within this grandiose set of 8 linked missions meant to tell a tale of revenge and subterfuge spanning what might be over a year of play. Written by a bullpen full of the industries most creative writers/game designers this ambitious product was definitely worth checking out!  We also talk a little shop about Con attendance and are hoping to promote a new con, The Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo running January 5th through the 7th.  Many of our industry friends will be appearing at this new convention which seems VERY RPG friendly!  If you’re with in driving distance and have a chance, be there for its inaugural launch! Here’s the site: https://phillyexpocenter.com/events/philadelphia-area-gaming-expo/ .

Otherwise, all of us here at “This Ol’ Dungeon” want to wish you all a happy holidays and many great fortunes in the new year.  We’ll be back (hopefully relatively soon) in January with a 2nd Ed Ravenloft module!  Till that time, take care dungeoneers!
