Just joined Lemmy today and found this community. Any Shadowrun players/GMs here? Been playing SR5 on and off for quite a few years, and just started a new campaign. Very excited to get it off the ground.

I absolutely love the setting of Shadowrun, but have never had the opportunity to play. As for running a game myself, I've heard a lot of horror stories about how crunchy and complicated the system is, and that has been enough to keep me from trying to run a game myself. :P

It funny, the system has never really felt very crunchy to me but as I was riding your comment I was thinking about it and yes it does have a bit of crunch to it. That said, it's always smoothly for me and I quite like it as a system.

Same. I've gone so far as to buy sources (5th edition) and tried running it once, but holy damn that crunch will break your teeth. I did support & enjoy the Shadowrun Returns trilogy of video games that came out a while back, and highly recommend it.

I've toyed with the idea of converting Shadowrun to Monte Cook's Cypher System. Wonder how that might work... strokes beard

@Emberleaf @Uniquitous I’m looking at #CWN #CitiesWithoutNumber to do the same thing.

Ooh, nice! You'll have to let me know how it works out!
