I used chummer as well.
because the crunch on its own wouldn't be bad
if the book didn't have such awful formatting
Yeah, it comes down to a formatting thing.
Instead of making a new edition they should just re-format 5 and boom.
Maybe simplify the crunch and make 5.5
that was Anarchy
But nah, they won't do that.
simplified 5E
huh
but nobody's ever heard about anarchy because they put zero effort behind marketing it
and most shadowrun purists don't like it because "It's too simplified"
tl note: still takes at least twice as long to teach to somebody as Savage Worlds
Not to familiar with savage worlds.
real simple ruleset, setting agnostic to the point that they provide you with all sorts of rules to make your own races, worlds, etc, then proceed to say "By the way you don't need to follow these rules if you want to make some broken super race, up to you."
Huh
Very interesting.
your stats and skills are represented by dice rather than a number that provides a flat bonus, all rolls come with a wild die
so every stat and skill levels up in steps from d4-d12
Sounds cool
and any time you roll a "crit", the die explodes and you roll again and add to the total
Regardless of Shadorun's faults, I still like the game regardless.
tends to lean toward very pulpy/actiony sort of games
Interesting.
but I like it because it's very easy to teach somebody
Sure
Actually, I remember making a character for savage worlds.
But didn't really play.
though something that's good or bad depending on how you look at it, it's *very* difficult for your character to actually die
like the default difficulty for any given task in the game is to roll a 4 unless it's contested
so if you have a d6 in a skill, which would be considered wholly average, you've got a 75% chance of success between your skill die and the wild die
huh
Yeah I think I am starting to remember some of this stuff.
I liked the system enough to fund the most recent edition of the game
Oh
twice technically
because I paid $20 during the kickstarter for a digital edition
So it's out?
then I gave my best buddy $50 for him to upgrade to the highest reward tier in exchange for the leatherbound signed hardcopy of the rulebook
That's nice of you
