“I will start my review with a disclaimer. I have never played the tabletop version of Shadowrun, only the SNES game and Shadowrun Returns game for the PC/iOS. I never really had an interest in Shadowrun until I recently played the Shadowrun: Crossfire boardgame. After that I looked up podcasts on the history of Shadowrun and the Arcology Podcast was one of the top two to show up. I gave the show a chance and it has not only helped me understand the world of Shadowrun, but makes me want to really get invested in the tabletop game as well.
The two hosts, Vox and Mr. Johnson, are a great team as both are not only passionate about the game itself, but give great advice on gameplay from a player and GM/DM point of view. They talk about all things Shadowrun, but mainly stick to the tabletop game. Recently, they have begun an actual play version of the podcast which I have not heard at the time of this review. However, if it is as good as the rest of the show has been, this is a podcast worth listening to whether you are a long-time Shadowrun fan or have a mild curiosity. They always welcome questions from the audience and enjoy sharing stories from their own sessions as well as the community. Do yourself a favor and download it already as well as some of the others that they recommend.”
