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 I started #ttrpg with D&D3.5 and I've been DMing a #Shadowrun 5E compain for the last 2 years. So I kinda get where you're coming from.

To me, the roll system isn't really that bad, you have a dice pool of d6s made of an attribute and a skill level and then you count the 5s and the 6s and there you go. A lot more painful than a single #d20, granted.
