seriously shouldn't someone mention how much he sucks? or how he ruined so much of shadowrun.

I think it's safe to say that's not how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Furthermore, whatever he did to Shadowrun, his more recent work on Mutants & Masterminds and Blue Rose / True20 is pretty widely acclaimed.

Steve Kenson does very good Superhero work. It's that he tried to shoehorn superhero-style RPG's with really charismatic and important characters into Shadowrun that caused it to implode. In Shadowrun you're lost in the big picture. Kenson made world-altering characters and lived vicariously through them within it. That was his sin.

I kind of liked his Shadowrun novels... They were a good read, as long as you read them as "non-cannon" in the grand scheme of things. In fact, I based at least one tabletop run around a Shadowrunning team sent AFTER the team from his books. Vegetaman 16:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
