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

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

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