I'm about to start my 1st shadowrun campaign. I am an experienced dm- but i'm used to levels. Is there an easy way i can tell if an encounter in too easy or more importantly too hard?
obviously sending a party of 5 against 20 wendigo armed with assault cannons and the element of surprise is right out- but what is a good rule of thumb? |
