Lets face it, simply put, theres a lot of great source for SR3. After playing many roleplaying games, I've found Shadowrun to be a great balance between fun, fast action and complex rules. I like don't like over complex rules, and SR3 balances them very well. I won't be converting, there isn't anything wrong.
I think they're pulling a "D&D" here. They're not changing editions to fix the system, they're doing it so we have to rebuy all the same old source again. I've owned three different mage, rigger and matrix books. I'm done. I like the way it is. The SOTA updates don't include a heck of a lot of stats, its mostly world source. I thinks I'll be alright. Excuse me if someone's already ranted on this. I haven't read that post and would like to know how other gamers are taking it. |
