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.
Hands down my favorite setting and I really like the dice pool system (at least the SR4 version I mostly played).
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.
