Old movies are deadly for roleplayers. I don't think I have yet to meet a roleplayer who is able to watch a movie without finding something in it which they want to either a) turn into a new game, or b) bring into one of their characters. And so it is with me and The Matrix...
Released in 1999 (12 years ago? Really?!), I remember thinking what a fantasic roleplay setting this movie would make. After all these years that thought hasn't abated and yet there have never been any official releases to bring the worlds of The Matrix and tabletop roleplaying together. There have been many homebrew systems and settings, but I've always had my own ideas of what should go into a game, and so here I will try and sort through my thoughts and piece together what I think a roleplaying game for The Matrix should be.
If nothing else, it gives me an excuse to watch the movies again! ;)
