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.

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.

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

Same, but with d20 rules. The 3x rules etc, with its nuanced armor system and more sane magic resistance would work out well, I think.
I’m a fan of running the world in another system, 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.
I’ve played a fair bit of SR3 and SR5. It’s such a bonkers setting and yet when you’re in it, it all makes sense. Hope your campaign goes well!
Hands down my favorite setting and I really like the dice pool system (at least the SR4 version I mostly played).
