[QUOTE="Allura, post: 3715220, member: 17473"] Apparently DumpShock was worse than ShadowRN, the old listserv mailing list that's (surprisingly) still alive - and about half that group won't switch. The problem with Shadowrun's last edition is that it not only changed the rules rather significantly, but they also made a tech upgrade "justified" by a major plot change. So two reasons for people to get upset. I like it, because the old tech (no wireless tech, basically) was starting to drive me BATTY. It's 2065 or so in game, and the tech is older than what I'm using now IRL in 2007. It's the downfall of near-future games, I suppose, that the real world moves faster than some people can predict. Anyway, I never see the point of getting upset over a new edition. Either you like it and you buy it, or you don't. *shrug* I haven't run into a new edition that I've regretted picking up. And if new editions bring people to the game, that's a good thing to me. [/QUOTE]
