Shadowrun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Shadowrun was developed and published by FASA Corporation from 1989 until early 2001, when FASA closed its doors and the property was sold to WizKids who licenses the RPG rights to the current publisher, Fantasy Productions (also known as FanPro, also responsible for the German version). |
 | | Characters in Shadowrun can be humans, orks, trolls, elves and dwarves, as well as certain diverging subspecies (known as metavariants) such as gnomes, giants, minotaurs, et cetera. |
 | | Since Shadowrun pre-dates the movie The Matrix, it seems obvious that the Wachowski brothers were at least influenced by the setting, originally based on ideas by William Gibson and the cyberpunk literary genre. |
