This question goes out to grizzled veterans of both SR3 and SR4. We haven’t played Shadowrun for about 18 months. We are about to start SR4.
My basic question is: How does it play by comparison? Compared to your SR3 experiences, how are the SR4 rules during actual game play? Do you find them very different? Better? Smoother? Slower? Faster? Etc. |
