[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 52787, member: 834"] I just love the setting! It's incredibly fun. But I gave up on the system. I've retooled it to use D10 and simplified many mechanics, though. I just need to sit down and write it and I'm determined to do a new SR campaign when I'm done with my current D&D campaign. My complaints with the current system: I don't like the probability curve with D6. Target is 2 and becomes 3? Not so bad. Target is 5 but is bumped to 6? Whoah! That's a hell of a difference. But the target increases from 6 to 7? It's the same thing. It increases from 6 to 8? Not very significant... Let me put it this way: If you are wounded and your TN is around 6, aim for the head. Your decreased odds of success will be compensated by the fact that just one success might take down your target. If you are healthy and your TN is around 3 or 4, shoot the torso. You'll get buckets of success and even with the armor of the target getting in the way you'll probably take him down. Silly, eh? Also: Decking, Rigging, Magic, Combat... They all have different rules! Now magic and combat mechanics mix well together so that's what I used the most. But decking and rigging was such a pain that they got extremely downplayed. [b]Victim[/b]: Run the stats of your mage by me. If he's doing something wrong I'll spot it quickly enough. Anyone who wants to learn more about SR should indeed head towards the shadowrun archive. It used to have a very active board, much like this one. I wonder how it is faring. Hey, any old timer from Deep Resonance? I went by the alias of 55 a while ago. Rings any bell? Oh well. [/QUOTE]
