I have never played Shadowrun in any of its versions, though I have always been fascinated with it and the environment it simulates (big fan of Gibson's books :D )
. I have a small gaming group that I run other games in D20, old Marvel, nWOD stuff, . I am wondering if 4.0 is an "easy" enough game to pick up and run without much familiarity. I realize there will be a huge learning curve and re-reading the core book a few times to get a good grasp of where the info is located and how the game mechanics work out. Would anyone recomend jumping in on 4.0 or going back and finding 3.x in other places? I ask here because I've read mixed reviews. Many think the rules have been organized better and streamlined and then others think it has ruined the game and made it not as playable. Since I play nWOD I realize some peoples reaction is to the new but I want to find out if it is more than that. thanks for the info |
