[QUOTE="PrometheanVigil, post: 7012521, member: 6703801"] #2 is the way to go. Learn to GM. That's what that is. Funnily enough, like the Priority System, not everyone is going to be good at GM'ing. Like not everyone has high Resonance or Magic: their potential limited by their nature. Unfortunately, this means not many games and even fewer of those games being manned by someone suitably "mathy", level-headed, charismatic and entertaining. But if you can get all four of those, :):):):)ing A! Easiest is Roll20. You will NOT find a game on there to play but if you're willing to GM? You can GM ANYTHING you want because people so desperately want to play it but not actually have to GM it (which, to be fair, is a problem across the board). You could be a horrible GM but they won't care (which is a bit sick, to be honest). I have seen various reviews/rants about that game online. It sounds like its crappier version of the regular game. On an objective level. This true? Edge of the Empire (award for best roll-off-the-tongue name) is pretty solid for what it is. But that's not what Shadowrun is. The feel from the game comes heavily from the system that it uses. Even Shadowrun Returns feels a little different because of the nature of adapting P'n'P system to a computerized format. High-level example: Mages and Shaman are treated as separate spellcasters even though the P'n'P system does not do that to anywhere near that level of separation. Low-level: P'n'P far more lethal than HP-based system of the computer game. Anyway, there may be a system at some point that delivers that mechanical style you're talking about while retaining the Shadowrun feeling but stuff like Priority is pretty unique in how its executed (although the quasi-racist undertones of the racial limits stuff needs to be taken out like happened in Pathfinder). My man! This guy knows, hah hah! [/QUOTE]
