Weisman is also enthusiastic about the cross-generational appeal of
Shadowrun Returns
, relating notes from fans who’ve said they’re looking forward to sharing with their kids this game from their own youth.
Laughing, Weisman recalled gaming with his own sons, Zach, Nate, and Lucas. “One of the things I learned early on is that whatever your dad does isn’t cool,” he said. “All my friends’ games were cool, but mine weren’t, so we’d play Warhammer and whatever other games they were into. The only times they played my games was in the booths at conventions when we were demoing them for other people.
“But now that they’ve gotten older, and they’ve started working on games with me … that has a joy all its own.”
