I expected to get a small guide to using a Blades in the Dark system in a Shadowrun setting. This is so much more than that. It is a full book-length conversion of Blades in the Dark. I own the the Scum and Villainy sci-fi book for Blades in the Dark, which is also fantastic, and this book is at least its equal. I'm amazed to see how much work and care has gone into Runners in the Shadows. If you love the Shadowrun world, but not it's convoluted, slow-playing rule set, this is the book for you.

Wow such praise! You're why I worked so hard! Also the others who want a different but equally-weird fantasy-future Earth. But yea, I am always so thankful and humbled to have readers like you among my fans. And I can't wait to show you all my other fantasy mash-ups using this same framework later! Which I'm definitely taking more chances with the Forged system than I did here..
Thanks again for your review, you rock
