The number of hits is compared to a pre-determined amount (or Threshold) set by the GM for the roll. If the number of hits equals or exceeds the threshold, the roll is a success.</em> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun#Fourth_edition_changes" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia: Shadowrun</a> Short answer: It’s used in the role-playing game Shadowrun.
