I've sold off all of my v1.-v.3 rule books, like Rigger 3, but hung on to the fluff stuff, like California Free State. I actually pulled apart the glue binding on my Rigger's Black Book for easier scanning of the vehicle images. Heresy, I know!

Not hard, though. I've always felt that it wasn't a real FASA book unless it fell apart at some point.

Actually, all my FASA books are in good shape. Pulling RBB apart took some effort. Maybe I've just been lucky.

I started playing SR1 in mid-1990 (I think), when it was brand new in the local gaming shop. I worked my way through SR2 and SR3, then got out of gaming for a number of years. I am now putting together an SR4 campaign, and have just started looking over the SR4 rules. I like what I see, so far.

Started on 3rd... loved it. Bought 4th, taught it to a group of complete SR newbies... ran a good game with it.
Definitely like 4th. |

SR4.
I love Shadowrun overall. Each new edition has made some things better, some worse. Extremes in both directions on that. But I only like to play characters if I intend to play and develop them long-term. That may entail transporting them from game to game. And the closer they are to current RAW, the easier that is to do. So I update with each new edition whether I prefer it as a whole or not. |

SR2 for me until I got married that is. I didn't even know there was a 3E much less a 4th until I got bored a couple months ago and found the Shadowrun website. So far, looks like SR4 is worth the money if only I can talk the boss into the purchases. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I told mystelf I'd stay with SR3. I told myself I'd never stray. It was a lie. The SR4 system is just so good. I loved SR3, and thought it was the peak of Shadowrun. I loved the art of the time, and the fluff, and the general atmosphere. Because of this I resisted SR4, because it felt wrong. It still does a little, but I can't look back now.

i have to say that most of the changes to sr4 cacked me off (i hate the imgination of a cyberpunk-hacker using almost NO wires at all), i understand that with developments in the real world (wlan, bluetooth, etc.), pushed the developers to 'match' shadowrun with them, but it just takes away so much of the feel.
its like considering watching some dystopian dark, grindy, fucked up movie and then switching to something like Ultraviolet, with too much light/white colors. but maybe i just got pissed that some of my cheesy higher-scale-NSC-concepts wont work within sr4 any more. |
