[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6290990, member: 177"] Just an anecdote for y'all... I had the first session of a new Shadowrun campaign I'm starting back on Saturday - just the Quick Start rules and pregen characters to start with, to give some players who have never seen the game a feel for the system before we went into character generation. The campaign is going to be based on the new 5th edition rules, because I was given them as a gift for X-mas. After the session, one of my players went to Facebook to ask if any of her friends had a copy of the rules she could borrow, as she's on a bit of a tight budget. Within *minutes*, she had folks commenting that she should burn the 5th edition book, or if she didn't have it, she should download the quickstart rules, and burn them instead. She was told, by no means should she spend money on 5th edition Shadowrun. When she told her "friends" that really, she didn't care what rules she was playing under - she hadn't had tabletop gaming in her life for some years (she had a baby), and was just happy to be playing anything, and could they please just pack it in with the negativity, she was told, "No, I can only promise to bitch in a more entertaining fashion." So, there you have it - D&D is not the only game about which people are jerks. [/QUOTE]
