shadowrun series is great, doesn't hold a candle to divinity 2 though imo
But I am talking the TTRPG specifically.
Not the video games
ahh tabletop gotchya
my brain can only be stimulated by moving pictures
I play regularly. I run a 40K Wrath and Glory campaign.
Have done Shadowrun before but only like Shadowrun Anarchy because the rules are easier to work with
Cool
I have Shadowrun Returns on steam but i don't know shit about the game
lemme see if I can give a quick rundown of the timeline
it all starts in 1980 with John Lennon being shot
no I'm not joking, this is the first event on the Shadowrun timeline
2000, the US Supreme Court grants a corporation extraterritorial status for the first time. They find pyramids and giant skeletons on Mars with the little rover robots and decide not to fuck with it. White women start popping out elf and dwarf babies. A dragon shows up and explains magic's making a comeback. Then a few years later people start "goblinizing" and a full 10% of the population spontaneously becomes orcs and trolls. The women who's babies turned into trolls while they were still in the womb are not okay. A virus takes out the matrix (global internet), a bunch of people who were jacked in die. The matrix is remade, some retard makes an AI and it gets loose, crashing the matrix again and killing a ton of people again. Japan becomes the dominant world power and everybody starts buying stuff with neoyen. Dragons reveal they were actually the real jews all along as they start assuming positions of power as government leaders and corporate CEOs.
🤔
Going to look up that game.
U should
So basically the internet was the protomatrix and microchimerism is real
yeah basically
cool setting but most of the players are cringe as fuck
IDK about that. I found a pretty good group of good guys to play with.
I mostly mean that in the sense of "There's multiple reasons 6th edition is a complete fucking disaster."
Well, I think 6th edition is dogshit b/c Catalyst is a dogshit company.
My source being an experienced Shadowrun player.
Who is currently my DM.
oh there's no doubt catalyst is dogshit
dudes can't make a rulebook to save their lives
lol
like it's amazing to me that they haven't lost the license
given Ulysses literally lost the 40k license over taking too long to release errata
I guess it's because Topps doesn't really give much of a shit as long they are making money off it.
Which I find it interesting that a baseball trading card company bought the rights to Shadowrun.
Capitalism at it's finest
still it's just wild because you can tell that Catalyst was more worried about appearing woke enough than they were about giving you a functioning set of rules
Oh, so they decided to go woke huh.
I mean trannies and shit were always part of shadowrun as a setting
Well, it is the future.
So I'd kind of expect there to be a lot of degeneracy.
but if I'm remembering right, they spend a shitload of time in the 6E rulebook talking about shit like "It's okay if you want to play a nonbinary character!" meanwhile there are placeholder texts remaining in place of simple rules
so it's like "Yeah whatever, the tranny stuff was always a part of the setting because it's a hellworld where capitalism went off the rails" gets outweighed by shit like this
I mean, we can always just pirate 5th edition shit lol.
Oh for sure
