I’ll stand by until the day I die that Shadowruns magic allows for some of the best punk aspects for Cyberpunk. Just like the Fantasy genre uses supernatural and extreme settings to explore things easier than real life, a magic system that’s foundationally opposed to the technological exploitation of Cyberpunk has amazing storytelling potential.
I really like the treatment of metahumans in the earlier editions. I really like orcs getting the short end of the stick in terms of lifespan and appearance. It makes a dark setting even darker.
