It's been a while since I played SR4 (before any books came out), and I've had a recent hankering to get back in the game.
1. How are the new books (Street Magic, Arsenal, etc.)? Worth picking up? 2. I had an absurd amount of house rules in my game, especially related to character creation, overwhelming hacking rules, combat oddities, etc. (just looking at my house rules page makes me cringe!) New books/errata do anything to address those "big issues," or have the problems been exacerbated? 3. Anyone play online? What VTs (virtual tabletops) do Shadowrun players use most? |
