After I read at some places in this forum, that some posters consider the d6 to be intrinsically tied to Shadowrun, I wanted to poll how sizable of a majority that is, if it is a majority at all.
Would you accept a different Dice Mechanic, if it worked better/faster/stronger than multiple d6 does? I think Shadowrun is well enough defined through an extremely unique and zany setting, and restricting it to a possibly sub-par game-mechanic out of nostalgia is a bad move in my opinion, so I vote for 'Whatever, man!', but let me see your opinions. |
