Maybe it was just how it was explained to me, but, man, the #Shadowrun #TTRPG seems like a lot of complexity for not much upside.

I'm finding in this time of my life where I'm trying a ton of #DnD5e alternatives, I like the ones the best that are simple and opinionatedly different.

But systems that try to match D&D's complexity, often older games, leave me cold.

@apontious Shadowrun has a great setting and awful rules. Luckily, there are plenty of hacks of other systems to get the good parts without the bad.

@dbendit Loooool the campaign I tried (and bailed on) was using the Shadowrun rules for an entirely homebrew campaign, none of the setting at all.

@apontious @dbendit Noooo, why?

I run a Shadowrun campaign using Savage Worlds (and the Sprawlrunners splatbook) and it's great, I'm not a teenager I can't deal with the actual rules anymore.
