Shadowrun

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.

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'm a fan of running the world in another system, myself :p

Oh hey, Chummer! Fellow Shadowrun GM here.

We started in SR5, moved to Karma in the Dark and now we're using Savage Worlds. But apart from a small retcon to play in our country, I try to be as close to what I know about the SR lore as I can.

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).
